A funny video has emerged from the UK of a man smashing a melon on his forehead to the delight of his friends.

In the clip, which was captured late on Friday night in Billingshurt, the man makes several unsuccessful attempts to crack the fruit on his head.

He then scores the melon with a pizza cutter, slams the fruit on his head a couple more times and bingo!

According to the filmer, the man had a throbbing headache afterwards and felt dizzy.
