A parody sketch of two rival London gangs threatening each other in a series of escalating videos has gone viral on Twitter and Reddit.

The video, which was first shared by BBC Three last week, is from a comedy show called Famalam.

Here's the clip, in all its glory:

Brilliant.

Since it was shared on May 1, the video has now been retweeted thousands of times.

On Monday it was shared on Reddit's r/videos sub, where it quickly racked up over 40,000 upvotes.

It's still a long way from the dizzy heights of Mans Not Hot fame, but getting there.

Famalam is available in the UK now on BBC iPlayer.
