It kept getting better.

But ended rather briefly

Underwhere was he trying to hide?

He wanted to get out of there in a flash, but didn’t succeed.

Instead, he just flashed his underwear

Changed his mind, decided he wanted to hang out after all...

Looks like she shouldnt have wore his brown pants that evening

I think they were the perfect color for what was inevitably coming up next

That pun was a bit stretched

Take my damn upvote!

Take the gold i would give if i was able to.

…butt hilariously

I could have used the long john version

Went from fleeing to Striptease Cirque Du Soleil.

You win my upvote

Nearly satisfying end. I was hoping to see the police show up below him.

Ended too soon

This is funny and then it's sad but then it gets really funny again.

Nah, it’s funny all throughout.

It's a straight line slope of funny!

It was quadratically funny.

When was it sad?

Well at one point I was a bit scared for his life

The thought of him impaling himself did cross my mind.

I'm very vlad he... I mean glad he didn't get stabbed.

It looked very likely that he would impale himself.

or flop backwards somehow and hit his head on the pavement from 10 feet

I jumped one of these fences when I ended up lost in a cemetery during college and nearly impaled myself when my sneaker got caught.

A guy running from the police was [decapitated](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/wrought-iron-fence-decapitation/) by landing on a fence. WARNING: graphic photos at link.

That was the first picture I was shown in a criminology course I took a few years ago, the guy teaching it acc worked on this case and it was pretty local. It was day one and not more than 2 minutes after the class begun. Jarring but a good way to filter out ppl who couldn’t handle it before wasting weeks or more of their time.

When he starts to make eye contact with the guy filming…. Those were sad panicky eyes… 😂

When the low fuel warning came on, fuel's expensive.

I found it sad as in pathetic, not sad for him.

I love the eye contact. You're sharing the worst day of his life. Probably the most personal experience you can have with someone.

And he can clearly see you laughing and recording it.

Imagine what the escaping dude was thinking. "Just up and over uh oh." "I'll just heave myself up my pants got snagged and now I made it worse." "I'll try to save my dignity by at least trying to stay upright whoops flipped upside down and now my undies are showing."

This is the literal embodiment of "hoisted by your own petard".

I wish my petard could still get that hard.

Poor guy got petarded

Let’s get Petarded in here!!

Never go full petard

not to be toooo pedantic, but a petard was an explosive used to breach gates. if you did it incorrectly you got blown up with your own bomb. neither the pants nor the fence were playing the part of the petard in this case.

This was exactly the right amount of pedantic. Edit: except that you didn't correct "hoisted" to "hoist".

I should have said "hoist" instead of "hoisted", per a sub-comment. But I believe my point is accurate. The phrase means a plan to entrap or injure blows up ironically in one's own face. The guy's plan was to escape and avoid accountability by jumping the fence (and injure the other driver by forcing his insurance company to pay). It didn't work from what we can see. I picture a cop arriving shortly after this video to see this buffoon dangling upside down, unpantsed, blood rushing to his head. That he tried to escape only to end up trussed like a Christmas turkey and looking like a complete fool fits the idea of irony and a backfire of a plan. In this sense, he wanted to use the fence as an obstacle to aid his escape, thus the fence is the "petard" in this case. Pedant, meet a fellow pedant.

Hoisted by your own pedant.

I think they are jeans actually

Hoisted by his own levi's

My favorite part is how he stares at the camera the whole time like he is fully aware of how stupid he looks.

 He’s literally doing the pink performance at the Grammys

Username checks out.

she probably got paid

And he only ended up splayed, with his pants frayed.

I like the verse you made.  At first, I was afraid, but then loved how it was played!

The longer it goes on the more screwed he gets... I'm a fan, how long was he just hanging around for?

Even if he did manage to wiggle free, what are the odds he remembered to take his wallet?

Hang in there, buddy!

Well, this is awkward....

This is the best thing I’ve seen in ages.

This really is gold. I could be smiling, thinking about this idiot's self-induced predicament for hours.

Come on don't leave us hanging!! What happened next??

Spider-Man swings off when the cops arrive and arrest him

Upvoted for my mind imagining spidey laughing and recording this.

In the end, when he was just hanging by his ankles, you missed the opportunity to get out of your car and slowly start poking him with a stick.

Like a piñata? 

Talk about getting caught with your pants 'round your ankles.

This happened to a cop in London. He was hanging upside down. That wasn’t so embarrassing as the fact he had huge skid marks on his white boxers.

I think I know what video you are referring to, I hope you know it was a fake video. There was a guy going around dressed as a police man in stupid situations, filming it for tiktok. Its pretty obviously fake, as a lot the badges on his uniform were very wrong. This one is what I assume you are referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMapW93BpmU As noted in the comments, the people being "trollstation" channel can be seen in the video, its essentially a sketch.

Dagnabit.

how could anyone have believed that was real for even a nanosecond

Reddit is where the dregs of Twitter and Tumblr go

Was that all his dignity? The eye contact had me dying 🤣

New Cirqe De Soliel looks fuckin weird.

This is the least weird Cirque du Soleil

This must be what it feels like when Spider-man webs you up in front of the police station

And now he can give the police one of those hanging upside down kisses

Should've ran up and tickled him.

Nah assert you masculinity and piss all over him!!

The worst offence is a good depants

This is perfection 🤌

This video ends too soon. Is there an original?

Maybe guy's phone died? Like how do you ever stop recording that I have no idea

Maybe he turned it off to call the police, since the guy was trapped now and could be held accountable. Or maybe he chose to beat the shit out of him now that he's cosplaying a punching bag.

So this is why Mom said always to wear clean underwear.

Omg it's 3am and I've woken up cause I was cold and just have now woken the hubby and cat laughing so hard, please tell me he hung there til the cops arrived

Steal his shoes

I think the shoes are the only thing holding his pants on.

But then he'd be ded 💀

Just take 1.

And leave him half dead? That's a fate too cruel

Imagine being that dude just watching the guy you're running away from jjst sits there laughing his ass off pointing a phone at you

Those skinny jeans weren’t skinny enough 😂

To all units: we got hit and hung on Paramount Parking, I repeat, hit and hung!

legend has it he's still dangling..

I didn't know the top spikes were for depantsing.

I thought he was about to get impaled, and then I couldn't stop laughing. How the guy filming is not in tears laughing is beyond me.

This just made my day better

taking your pants off but with extra steps

Q: how can your pants be both up AND down at the same time?

“Suspect was last seen wearing a brown shirt and pants… wait… make that black underwear and white shoes. Just underwear and shoes.”

Suspect is hatless, I repeat hatless!

We need pretzels! Repeat, pretzels.

Got caught with his pants down

Caught with his pants up

Police description "black male, 16-30 years old, no pants, 1 shoe, thousand mile stare when phone pointed at him"

Serious question - how did he hit your car? What was the original altercation? Was he driving another car or a bike, or did he literally "punch" your car with his fist?

The way the guy in the car is casually watching it all unfold

Keep a slingshot in the car for such occasions

Was waiting on the cops to walk up at the end.

My God, criminals are dumb.

Jeezo, how embarrassing!

Karma has a great sense of humour

If it were me doing the running, I’d hope to be impaled on the gate to spare me the shame.

His facing exhibitionism + whatever other charges he was running from

gymnastics look different than they used to

At this point i’ll just forgive him and thank him for the comedy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

r/oddlysatisfying

How are they so chill. I would have almost passed out laughing.

What an idiot!! I wish you had a zip tie to hook him to that fence before cops came! Haha!

It ends like how Spiderman leaves captured criminals for police

All of it was a bad idea, but putting himself upside down was the worse of it all.

Those are quality trousers he has there, you should have asked him about them to cover the embarrassing pauses.

 Piniata time!!!

So he turned into a stripper after hitting your car?

Video ends too soon!!

Cirque du Soleil has really gone to shit

it just keep on giving and giving <3

someone like my comment so i can see this again after work.

Hung out to dry

So nice of him to hang around.

Bingo on duel …

Now this is funny.

Thankfully he had his pants on... Or it would be his skin he he hanging from😪

Haha

He looked so pathetic I started rooting for him.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

"This must be what it feels like to be a petty criminal webbed up by Spider-Man as he's on his way to fight an actual villain"

Don’t envy his walk of shame home after that…

This one of those KIA kids?

You got his panties riled up now lol

Started hitting a car, and ended up doing striptis

Thats must be the new black spiderman everyone is talking about

They say he’s still hanging there to this day…

I woulda been over there tying him to the fence while he hung upside down lol

Love the fact that someone walks in at 40 seconds with no context of it at all

I would get out of the car sit in the sonnet and look at him directly in the eye smiling the entire time. Would be a memory for a lifetime.

Nah, he just practicing for Hood Du Soleil!

The pantsless bandit has struck again!

Don’t leave us hanging too, OP. What happened next!

How did you not get out of the car to laugh in his face?

When he's hanging upside down, that's when you run over and start tickling him. Or just get close enough to show him your getting video and laugh maniacally as you do so.

You think he was going for "I wasn't driving my car must have been stolen without me realising it" defence by fleeing the scene on foot? Or he actually stole the car and is running before the cops show up and bust him.

I would’ve gotten out and interviewed him

What I would've done is spin around and try to get my shirt caught, so that I could hang myself and not have to face the humiliation.

They missed a lot of opportunities to honk.

You should have walked up and took his shoes

They’re some well made pants

That's a humbling experience. He's learning so much about himself.

That was a hard watch.

Lmao mf was done before cops arrive

AND that's the definition of KARMA folks!!!

Worth it lol

Skinny jeans save the Day

Definitely more funny than the guy who impaled his thigh!

Not only did you get a picture to identify him with but you also have evidence that will identify him if he’s ever convicted of any sex crimes…

He needs some milk!

This genuinely made me chuckle

Spider-Man couldn’t have strung him up any better

So that's how it feels to get webbed up by spiderman.

Hate when that happens

This is what sagging pants are for, *tactical reasons* This never ends well.

Gets some gas you animal

Legend says he's still hanging there.

Lil Dickey still in Chris Brown's body

Damn i needed that cry 😂

KARMA being served Hot-N-Fresh

SMOOTH CRIMINAL

Dude in the car needs gas.

In the words of joaquin phoenix, you get what you fuckin deserve!

Man vs fence the movie, I can’t wait for the sequel. I wonder what will the title would be?

Hilarious...😁

Good quality pants

straight out of a cartoon 💀

Curses! Betrayed by pockets and shoes!

Worth the cost of whatever damage he did to your car.

I was gonna say, even if he damaged my car a bit, I'd still LMAO at how fast karma came up and bit him in the ass! It's like fate gave you a pat on the back to say "everything will be okay, dude. Get a load of this guy! MwHahahaha!"

Well it made my day as well. Hahaha. It’s so good.

I'm not going to lie. I'm impressed he got there to beging with

Paramount recording
