Michael Broekhuyse and Martin Sokolinski, a comedy pair, are known for their unorthodox social experiments, pranks, and comedic routines.
The video was shared on comedy duo Marty and Michael’s renowned Instagram page @martyandmichael.
The description of the video, which went viral after being uploaded online, said, “The filming of our latest science experiment.”
A man is seen lying neck-deep in the sand with hot chips strewn all over him as a swarm of seagulls surrounds him in the brief film.

While the trial’s results have yet to be published, the video has piqued the interest of netizens who were amused by the strange experiment. “Such a brave man. Thank you for all the science you do,” one user joked, while another added, “In the name of science, I shall approve this madness.”
