HAMILTON, Ohio, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- An 88-year-old Ohio grandpa is gaining fame online after his denture-related mishap while playing popular game Speak Out was captured in a viral video.

Amy Metcalf Taylor posted a video to Facebook showing what happened when she conscripted her grandfather, Don Briggs, aka Poppy, into a game of Speak Out, a popular game that calls on players to try to say phrases while wearing a cumbersome mouthpiece.

"I told him I had a game for us to play after dinner, and we told him how to play it," Taylor told KTRK-TV.

The video shows the family sharing a laugh after Poppy put the mouthpiece in backward, making his task even more difficult.

"He was saying his card, and we all saw his teeth starting to come loose," Taylor said.

The video shows young family members screaming as Poppy's teeth come loose and fall out of his mouth.

"We all started screaming. He made a face at my daughter, and out they came on the floor," Taylor said.
