Remember Barney the Dinosaur? He was the purple and green dinosaur that used to sing - a lot.

And, inexplicably, many kids loved him, remembering him with nothing but happiness…

Well, until recently.

Darby, a 15-year-old girl, thought it would be funny to prank her friends by surprising them wearing Barney’s head. And the prank was going well until: “It slipped over her shoulders.

“When they [her friends] finally came down, she got up and realized it had dropped so low, she couldn’t take it off. It was digging into her” her mum told Al.com.

After her friends and parents tried to get the costume off of her and was unsuccessful, they decided to go to the fire department.

When Vince Bruno, a Fire Lt. from Trussvile saw the family walk into the station he said: “You couldn’t help but start laughing. We tried to be professional, and she was a little distraught, but we had to giggle about it.”

Luckily though, the fire department were successful and Darby is now free of Barney.

And even better, Darby’s brother shared the experience on Twitter with the caption “Darby got stuck in a Barney head”:

He also uploaded a must-watch video of Darby trapped in the costume:

But it seems Darby may not have learnt her lesson, as her brother informed us that this isn’t the first time she has been stuck in something. He wrote in a tweet:

“Actual things Darby said in her unaired interview:

I may have learned my lesson, but maybe not.

I’ve been stuck in lots of things before.”

Well, here’s hoping she doesn’t get stuck again.

Since this incident happened people on the internet have found the funnier side of things.
