Reminds me of a Richard Scarry story, “Taking the Tokyo Train.” There really were people hired to do this in Tokyo, where just about all the commuters traveled at the same time.
There is a tall man in my complex with an extremely large head. When he drives his compact, all I see is his head filling the window and he is hunched over the wheel. Always cracks me up.
My wife’s car is a sedan. When I have to use it, I feel this is a decent accounting of how I feel getting in or out. Not that is small, it’s just too short. I drive an SUV, I can step right in.
Funny – but for the record, I have seen a video of an online acquaintance loading his upright bass into his 2-seat SmartCar, getting in, and driving off – with all doors/hatches fully closed.
And I myself have driven a Triumph Spitfire – with the top up – hauling myself, another ±6’ dude, a young lady, an acoustic guitar, a mandolin, and a case and a half of beer. And we were comfortable (especially the other dude, upon whom the babe was seated……).
Getting out of a small car can be a bit tricky (I have a Mini Cooper) but Mr. Otterloop has one of the smallest cars ever, and his getting out is both astonishing and hilarious.
And Alice’s remark about how he got in this morning just adds to the wonderment. Wearing that puffy winter jacket is undoubtedly a big (ahem) part of the difficulty….

A clown car that fits just one clown isn’t very funny.

A seat belt in that thing would be a redundancy.

A broom, you say? Bewitchery! Poke that puffy coat with a broom and it will probably deflate right away.

Maybe the snowman is still inside that coat.

Which came first? This gag or the film “The Incredibles”, that has an identical gag in it?

Wasn’t this a gag in the original “The Incredibles”?
