He will need to have reached the terrible R2s.
An airplane passenger had the web in hysterics after comparing the incessant screams of a toddler onboard to R2-D2 from “Star Wars,” as seen in a TikTok video with over 2.1 million views.
“Can’t make this s – – t up, f – – kin r2d2 sounding ass,” reads the caption to the clip, which was uploaded earlier this month by user @bhrino0.
The clip, captioned “Gremlin,” records the meltdown, which reportedly occurred while the flyer was on a plane sitting at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, Recent York.
The video begins with the poster looking incredulously on the camera as an off-screen tyke screams nonstop in a fashion that, because the TikToker points out, indeed evokes the blue-and-white helper droid’s squeals from George Lucas’ iconic space opera.
Viewers also got creative taking stabs at describing what the screams gave the impression of.
“That s – – t feels like a cat in heat bruh,” declared one other TikToker.
“It feels like that koala who got kicked out of a tree by one other koala,” commented one viewer.
One other compared the noise to GIR, a robot from the cartoon “Invader Zim.”
Either way, commenters sympathized with the uploader’s plight, with one viewer saying they’d be “throwin hands whatever the age.”
“I feel they need to have separate planes for [people] with younger kids,” suggested one other.
The passenger isn’t the primary to complain a few baby throwing an in-flight fit.
In October, a Recent Zealand musician elicited pity after describing how a toddler threw a tantrum during his 29-hour flight to Berlin, Germany.
Nonetheless, while undoubtedly horrible, many flyers agree that this irritating predicament doesn’t justify perturbed passengers confronting the parents because the meltdowns are out of their control.
Not to say that babies, even crying ones, are part and parcel of flying the friendly skies.
In April, a passenger was shamed after satirically throwing a tantrum over a tot’s tantrum on a stalled flight to Orlando, Florida.
