An Irish Man Had His Family Play A Hilarious Recording That Sounded Like He Was Being Buried Alive At His Own Funeral

Now THAT is how you funeral! Don't get me wrong, I want people to ugly cry when I die. I want my wife to say she will never love another, my children to have an ocean streaming down their cute faces, and people to be screaming at the skies asking why I was taken so young (even though they probably know the answer). 

But once the funeral hits, there should laughter instead of tears simply because I want people to remember that I was funny as the priest says whatever needs to be said to hopefully save my soul from eternal damnation. Even if people didn't actually think I was funny when I was alive, I want to trick their brains into thinking I was a blast to be around before that big ol Grim Reaper bitch got my ass. There's enough sadness when you realize you will never be able to talk to a friend or family member again, which gets amplified by about a billion when you hear bagpipes playing. If wakes can be a place where people shoot the shit and laugh a bit while trying to make small talk with people they haven't seen in years, there is no reason we can't put the FUN back in funeral.

Which is why I love this Irish lad for going with some signature Irish dark comedy and telling Death to fuck himself like only the Irish can. I don't know that bloke from a hole in the wall. But I guarantee you he was always a good time at the pub. Sure there is a .01% chance that guy was actually alive in that box and crying out for help before suffocating to death. However, the warm memories he gave all those people that attended his funeral while sprinkling in some humor into an event that is usually as boring as it is sad is probably worth a horrifying death in the long run. Okay, that's probably not true. But it was still a funny video.
