One Hilarious Example

A recent example of this a YouTube clip of a guy filming the deer in Richmond Park when all of a sudden, you hear a guy in the background shouting frantically "Fenton, Fenton, Fenton!" You then see a labrador call Fenton, bounding at full speed towards the deer. Fenton the labrador has obviously slipped his lead and started chasing the deer towards the main road.

What makes this clip hilarious is the frantic man in the background, shouting at the top of his voice at his dog in the hope that he will be obedient but Fenton has other things on his mind. Fentons owner even goes on to shout "Jesus Christ," as he realises his efforts to stop his dog are in vain. Now as simple as this clip is, at the time of writing this article, this video has attracted 5,879,942 hits. WOW!
