Three farmers were drenched in manure while cruising around in a sports car.
Paul Dandlberger, Fabian Kerschbaumer, and Johannes Lindner wanted to promote their beer tent at an upcoming festival.
So they thought they’d film a fun video and see if they could make it go viral.

Luckily for the trio, the clip quickly racked up over 2m views on Instagram.
The video showed Paul, Fabian, and Johannes driving the silver convertible through a field.
As soon as they stopped the car, liquid manure was poured on the fellas from a vacuum truck.
Covered in muck, they promoted their beer tent and drove off with a smile.
Paul, Fabian, and Johannes are members of the Stephanskirchen Young Farmers Association in the town of the same name, located south-east of Munich, Germany.
Fabian explained: “We were thinking of ways of promoting our beer tent and realised that funny videos with captions are trending on Instagram.
“At some point we thought ‘why not buy a convertible and mess it up?’”
And they achieved their aim of going viral after hitting a million views in less than 48 hours, as reported by What’s The Jam.
A week later, it racked up another cool million.
One local said: “That’s what AI was invented for, guys!”
“You could have done anything, really anything, and you chose this,” added Lisa.
Sebastian said: “I wonder how bad the other ideas were…”
Bought for €200, the young farmers said the car had no chance of passing an MOT and was destined for the scrapheap.
They had previously used it in a tractor video last month.
After being sprayed with manure, they cleaned the old Peugeot with a pressure washer so it could be used in future videos.
