Man acts out falling asleep excusefrom @danielcoffeen3

[01]

Overview

A bodybuilder walks through his front door checking his phone while a text overlay displays a common excuse about falling asleep after the gym. To humorously illustrate this excuse, he immediately collapses onto the floor in a dramatic fashion the moment he crosses the threshold, literally interpreting the phrase 'as soon as I got home'.
