Adam Sandler quipped on a viral video showing him being turned away from an IHOP restaurant after a 17-year-old server informed him of the 30-minute wait and didn’t recognize him.
While he didn’t get his food, the comedian hopped on Twitter to share his thoughts on the situation.
“For the record, I only left the IHOP because the nice woman told me the all-you-can-eat deal didn’t apply to the milkshakes.”
In the original TikTok video, user Dayanna Rodas shared a video of herself with a clown face filter, and then CCTV footage from the restaurant in Manhasset, Long Island, admitting that she didn’t recognize the actor.
She wrote: “Not realising it’s Adam Sandler and telling him it’s a 30mins wait and him ofc leaving bc he’s not going to wait 30mins for IHOP.”
Dayanna captioned the video: “Pleaseee come back.”
Her follow-up video explained why she didn’t recognize him, saying his facial hair and mask made it more difficult to call his identity.
She said: “It’s because he had a big beard, and I’ve never seen Adam Sandler with a beard.
“And the mask didn’t help.”
Thousands of users weighed in with their opinion. Many praised Sandler for just being “normal.”
One commented: “He’s just glad someone treated him normal. Much respect for you and Adam.”
Another said: “Hey, you were just doing your job. And I agree with him, sometimes you don’t want to wait for a table.”
A third person simply wrote: “I mean, I wouldn’t wait that long for IHOP either.”
