The second she held the lit lighter and cup together, I would have grabbed it. There was only one way for this to end.

Terrible instincts around the table proving their shared genetics 😂

Hilarious how she continues pouring even after the whole thing is ablaze

Her leaving after causing all that

And then proceeds to move the burning cake to what looks like a rattan chair, just to add some kindling to the whole bonfire

continuing to pour after this point is odd...

“Got dammit” LMFAO this POV is even funnier than the original 😂😂! No screams, just throwing the flames onto other flammable shit LMFAOOOOOOOO!!

Aging, sad

16 years old camping with a buddy. He tries to pour gasoline onto the fire directly from the can. Can catches on fire. He throws it. Still burning. He kicks into the trees. All I can say is it was a good thing it was wet out.

These seem like people who were not allowed to check Mother with her screwball ideas in their youth because she would make that grindy teeth face and they would get scared and now she's old and crazy and rich and the problem is even worse

What are they even doing? Why would someone pour Everclear on a cake and light it?

Something about this woman's face makes me think she's a real pain in the ass and somehow she's gonna blame everyone but herself for this🤷‍♂️

Who thought this was a good idea 😂. And the idiot man knocking stuff on the floor spreading it 😂

idk why everyone in the comments is blaming her like that dip shit didn't grab her arm and all but force her to pour flaming liquid over the table because he panicked like a child.

Watching women do anything involving fire or knives is one of the most anxiety inducing experiences

Putting the burning cake on the chair😩😂

Thought that was a gun at first and thought wtf Went back to make sure, and it's a phone, and I feel silly now.

Don’t understand why she kept doing what she was doing even after the cake and cup erupted into flames.

I, for one, would like to see more dementia patients entrusted with flammable liquids and open flames.

Imma just leave now

Pour liquor into ladle. Ignite liquor in ladle. Pour already flaming liquor onto Baked Alaska. Same for Bananas Foster and Cherries Jubilee.

Yes, smother the alcohol-fueled fire with the thin plastic (petrochemical) tablecloth cover. 😭🤣

Worst part is she’ll demand that no one mention this, ever again-even if she pyros something else.

I’m gonna film our house fire. The insurance company will be really happy about that.

Holy shit that family is calm under pressure. Everyone moved and reacted, no one was mindlessly shrieking, they put out the fire (eventually), didnt start crying until after, etc, etc all around extremely solid

WHOOOAA, MOM! STOP! STOP! GIVE ME THE LIGHTER!--is what I would have yelled immediately before physically taking it out of her hand. But that might hurt her feelings. I think elderly people sometimes need a healthy dose of disrespect; a reality check. I'm sure she drives too.

No will needed she was taking everybody out with her😂🤣

My guess is dad died and he is the one who would have short circuited mom’s nonsense ideas before it got this far.

The dumber people are, the more they want to play with fire.

What the hell is wrong with normal birthday cake candles?

I guess it was hard for her to not have the lit lighter on before she was finished pouring it.

You can flambé a cake... but generally you want about 6x less alcohol than she poured, it ought to be about 4 tablespoons or so. You do it where it's fireproof & have a lid to cover things & extinguish the flames. The worst thing you can do if a small fire goes wrong is panic.

"WHY DID YOU LET ME DO THAT?!"

OAP pyromaniac
