Although the people who don't find it funny seem really cross that other people do, which is odd.

Here's one of the many inevitable spin-offs.

And there but for the grace of God, go I.

I can't remember the last time I cried with laughter, its that funny. One man and his dog..........reduce SW London to chaos.

The first time I didn't see the dog, so just saw a man shouting Benton after some deer.

But with the escaped dog it is actually quite amusing. Must look harder next time!

Thanks for that.

I do find it hilarious in a oh dear God what an awful thing to happen to someone else kind of way. But a relation, (horse-rider animal lover type person), is in the process of disowning me from the family for sending this to her. Said person regards it is as not funny at all, it is very dangerous, people & animals can get seriously hurt, people are fined substantial amounts for not keeping their dog on a lead (agreed, if you know Richmond Park I cannot fathom what Fenton's owner was up to), said relative had dogs chase after a flock of sheep once incurring wrath of local farmer and council and severe social embarassment and accusations of ineptitude.

I watched it again to see if my conscience had been corrected but no, it is still very funny.

It's always interesting to see a clip like that for the first time, having previously read quite a bit about it, including both "it's the funniest thing ever" and "WTF?"

I think it's so funny because of the timing, which you couldn't have choreographed if you'd had weeks to practise. You see the resting deer, then hear the man, then see the running deer, then see the dog, then see the owner huffing and puffing hopelessly into the distance. Comedy gold!

It is amusing. It didn't live up to the billing, perhaps, so no outward laughter though.

Benton!! Benton!!

Fenton!! fenton!!

Renton!! Renton!!

that huge herd of deer thundering past.
Here's another viral -

Sorry, I must have a sense of humour bypass today but what's funny about a dog chasing livestock?

Just Google "dogs shot by farmer" to see the heartache caused, not only to the farmer whose livestock prematurely abort after being chased, but to the owners whose dogs are blasted to oblivion by the farmer?

living up to its cuddly image of Slaughtered Lamb type pubs, psychotic miserablists and keep out signs.

"Shut your mouth, get out of my face
I'll blow you away if you invade my space
Stay off of my land, turn your stereo down
When you drive through the village won't you please slow down?
There are traps in the grass for the working-class
So stick to the path, go home, have a bath
All the farms have alarms, all the hills have eyes
So for God's sake stay out of the countryside"
