Agreed (although I'm not too sure what Fawltey Towers is) and coming from a Yank at that...
 
With children aged 2, 4, 5, 9, and 11 at my disposal, I really should be churning out content like this video on an hourly basis.

Let me see here. 11 starts tickling 9 who makes this positively awful racket when he's being tickled, and he in his flailing kicks 4 who looks up and realizes someone (5) has changed the TV channel, all the while 2 is in the kitchen sneaking a slice of cold pizza from the fridge. But no, it's not over yet, once 11 is scolded and sent to her room, 9 changes the channel back to 4's program and 5 starts beating his fists on the couch as if he intends to smelt it into an armor suit. 2 gets caught by Daddy and the pizza gets put back but 2 claims she has soiled herself and needs cleaning so Daddy goes to fetch the toddler cleaning and scrubbing supplies, just in time for 4 and 5 to argue, violently, over who gets to watch what on which TV and when. 2 says 4 needs a spanking for saying THAT word and 5 storms off to his room to play with trucks since they never argue with him in that sort of manner. 9 settles on a program he's NOT supposed to watch so Daddy flips it back to 4's program and 2 runs up to comfort the scolded 11 since she's been reduced to tears by something on the other TV that was just too cute and so sad and please tear out my ears so I can dispose of the soilings in peace and go whine about it on the internet.

This is a true story. 935-945, this house, today, 40 feet --> that way.

Oh yes, we have 5 of these things here in the house and 2 more of them older but not necessarily wiser.
 
I'm a big fan of animation. I thought it was funny. Look up "Simon's Cat" on YouTube for some entertaining animation.

Very funny stuff! More or less true too...
 
I got a chuckle out of it, mildly amusing. I'm a fan of british style comedy, and I can relate to this. It also reminds me of our cats, who are similar, always getting into something.
 
Funny silly. It's just mom-dad humor. Leave dad with kids.....

I never could understand why people outside US don't get Seinfeld. Maybe they just watched a few of the lamer episodes. The cigar, Kramer constipated, anything involving other restaurants, George bringing his date to his parent's house, Kramerica, the Bro and of course "shrinkage".....

We have always liked Seinfeld, but, to give an idea why some people outside the U.S. might not get it, it could be they do not relate to the personalities portrayed?
eg. when I was very young the show 'The Beverly hill Billies'
came to the U.K., as a kid, I did not know what a Hill Billy was or anything about Beverly Hill California. To me Jed Clampit might be some kind of Cowboy?? there car was kind of cool, but I could not understand why ranny would sit on the top in a rocker?
Until I understod the 'background' it was quite un-funny

How do you not find family guy entertaining?
 
To each his own..

..but as a father of four (currently 11, 10, 3, and 2 yrs respectively) I Totally get it! That looks like me at the park with my younger two.

occupant - I feel you.
