This is the hilarious moment a Jollibee mascot attempted a handstand, only to have his head roll off mid-performance.

Footage shows the beloved Filipino fast food character dancing alongside fellow crew members to entertain guests in Isabela, the Philippines.

The red-and-yellow striped bee launched into a hip-hop move, managing to hold an upside-down pose for four seconds before slipping.

As he hit the floor, the oversized headpiece detached, revealing the performer's real face under a hairnet, prompting laughter from diners.

His colleagues quickly rushed over to help him put the headdress back on, and they carried on with the performance on June 15.

Jollibee was founded in 1978 as an ice cream parlour and expanded to burgers and spaghetti. The menu was adapted to Filipino tastes, incorporating local flavours in a bizarre fusion of Western and Southeast Asian cuisine.
