“Saturday I walked to #bestbuy to get tv’s for my NYC apt and realized I had no way of getting them to my place,” his caption read. “This brother Alex was ahead of me in line so I asked if he would drive me to my place and he agreed. What he didn’t tell me was that he had someone in the car and that it was full of work equipment. But we made it work! Just another one for the books!”

In the short video clip, Alex is seen sitting on the lap of a woman in the passenger seat, holding a gas can. 

“Hey everybody what’s going on? I have no idea who these people are, but I’m driving their vehicle right now because I just went to Best Buy to buy some TVs for my new place in New York and he offered to drive me home, but didn’t tell me he had a friend in the car,” joked the Black-ish star while he filmed how confined the couple was in the vehicle while carrying his Best Buy wares, Today reports.  

The actor also noticed the vehicle had an amusing feature—the gear shift had to be placed in reverse for the car to drive forward.

“I was like, ‘Yo man it’s not moving when I started.’ He said, ‘Oh, no, you got to put it into reverse.’ I was like, ‘I’m trying to go forward and he’s like ‘I know, it’s my little hooptie'” Anderson said.

He then ends the video jokingly giving a call for a search and rescue team if he ends up missing

“If I don’t make it back to the set of Law & Order, call the police!” he said.
