Man slowly tumbles into river in undeniably hilarious footage

Sophisticated, high-brow comedy is all very well and good, but sometimes you just want to watch someone falling over. 

Well, good news — today happens to be your lucky day:

That video was shot recently on the banks of London's River Thames. 

The unfortunate man in the clip above is James Moss. He followed up the video with a tweet explaining that the first part was staged (his friend was filming), but the slip definitely wasn't.

This was the rather soggy end result.

Oh dear.
