This video of a man calling a pest control company to enquire whether they can deal with his pigeon problem has been described as "the funniest prank call of all time".
And with 6.4 million views and almost 200,000 shares in less than 24 hours on Facebook, it appears many people agree with that label.
Pretending to be a Mr Johnson, from Richmond, Surrey, the prankster's explanation to pest control officer Gary that he has "pigeons everywhere and I need them taken care of" quickly descends into a remarkably funny monologue.
Some of the language is NSFW, and one part is unnecessarily sexist, so beware:
Here are some of the best lines:
Well, what’s not occurring Gary? I mean, they’re f
~ing everywhere. I say pigeons, they’re more like f~ing condors, mate.
They’re all over the place, they’re s
~ting everywhere. I’ve got a Bentley GT Continental in the drive, they’ve st all over it, it looks like a f~~~ing igloo.
The biggest one, you should see the size of it. It’s putting a shadow over the house like something out of Independence Day. I’m expecting Jeff f~~~ing Goldblum to pop out of the shed.
Couple of them outside on the lawn right now playing swing ball, one of them in the pool with a f~~~ing peach daiquiri reading Heat magazine. It’s beyond a joke.
My son Jimmy’s gone missing. Went up on the roof earlier, they’ve f~~~ing nicked him, raising him as one of their own.
I caught one of them in the kitchen earlier making a f
~ing omelette. He had my apron on the cheeky b~~~d.
