They all start the same. Some narrator says “has this ever happened to you,” and then some ridiculous scenario takes place on screen. Usually it’s something like a bunch of pots and pans falling out of a cupboard or a grocery bag ripping and spilling its contents all over the floor. The commercials make these problems out to be normal, everyday occurrences, even though they are extremely rare.

They can, however, happen in real life as this young Angels fan learned Tuesday.

 Let’s try and break this video down into an infomercial.

A young child sits in a baseball seat about to enjoy his hot dog.

What do we do? Are we already out of business? I have a family …

Audio cuts out and screen fades to black.
