Turns out all you need to strike comedy gold is three confused British men, one electric fence and one badly tangled bike.

According to the YouTube description, the situation above arose after one of the men tried to haul his bike over a country fence, only to discover too late that it had a current running through it.

The result -- which involves snapping sticks, electric shocks and plenty of swearing -- could easily be a scene in a slapstick comedy.
