This is the hilarious moment a man manages to stuff his father into an oversized balloon by inflating it with a leaf blower.

The video, posted by Tadhg Fleming shows him inflating a huge green balloon around his dad before the pair, and Tadhg’s younger sister Mary dance around the kitchen.

Among the 5 million fans were Harry potter author J K. Rowling who re-posted the clip with crying and laughing emojis.

Dara Ó Briain was also a big fan and took to X to write: ‘If you think the Irish are doing well at all the Movie awards this year, wait until this wins Best Picture next year.’

The video starts with the Irish prankster struggling to get the balloon over his father’s legs before he begins inflating it as his dad wiggles down inside.

The viral-hit-maker battles to get his dad inside the balloon before enlisting the help of his sister.

The siblings then try to pull the sides of the balloon around their dad as quickly as possible to stop air escaping.

The seemingly impossible task is not smooth sailing with the clip capturing some heated words between the trio before they finally manage to inflate the balloon fully.

Unimpressed with their techniques, Tadgh’s dad can be heard telling them ‘You didn’t pull it out enough’ and ‘you’re too slow’.

Eventually the family are successful and they role Tadgh’s father onto his feet before celebrating. 

The hilarious clip shows Tadhg’s dad bouncing around their kitchen in the giant green balloon dancing to House of Pain’s hit Jump Around before the green balloon pops and Tadgh and Mary fall to their knees in disbelief, laughing. 

The clip has gathered millions of views on social media with more than five million views on Twitter and one million and counting on TikTok. 

This is not the first time the father-son duo have gone viral.

They first shot to fame after a clip of the family trying to catch a bat went viral and hit the headlines again with a video of Tadgh and his father attempting to catch a mouse.
