Filmer Yasser Al-Shammari captured this funny moment in Hail, Saudi Arabia, on August 26, 2025.

The video shows a friend attempting a stunt while serving a traditional rice dish (likely Maqluba). The man, dressed in traditional white clothing, prepares to lift the inverted pot from a large metal tray.

However, when he hits the pot—presumably to loosen the contents—the vessel unexpectedly launches into the air, spilling rice everywhere and releasing a massive cloud of steam. The man retreats laughing as the pot spins on the floor. The video has reportedly gone viral, amassing over 2 million views.
