The best thing, ever

I’ve seen some funny things in my time, I really have. Star Wars kid has been and gone, as have the GI Joe parodies and a number of other internet funnies. However, short film-maker Richard Gale has completely blown away everything I’ve seen and set a new standard. If anything beats this in the next few years I’ll show my arse in a Tesco advert.
