Thanks to Brett Erlich's "Viral Video Film School" we're up to date on the most fascinatingly bizarre trends on YouTube. In Brett's latest offering, we were excited to see his breakdown of the crazy-neighbour genre. This sort of video involves people surreptitiously taping those who live around them flying into a rage. Genius. As an added bonus, we're also featuring a vid of a two neighbours brawling, and by "brawling" we mean one idiot taunts while the other bides his time before laying the idiot out with a vicious jab.
Check it out here.
Below are some of our favourite editions of the crazy neighbour YouTube phenomenon. (If you can make it through a couple of minutes of lead-up to this first video, there's a really nice payoff. Trust us.)
Word to the wise -- if you're going to throw poo onto your neighbours porch, check they don't have several CCTV cameras first.
This neighbour apparently has a habit of smashing up TVs with a guitar. He obviously has serious problems. However he's not the one we're including in the list -- that honour goes to the not-so-friendly neighbours who filmed him and stuck the clip up on YouTube. Classy.

First video is great. The only reason the scum bag in the vest was picking a fight with the real man looking after his family and property was because he thought he would not fight back.
As soon as he realised the man would fight back he scuttled of like a scared vile rat which basically what he is!
More of this natural justice because the police and government seem to nothing.

Hey that's not fair to rats, like any other animal they'd rather not get into a fight at all.
That "hard man" in the vest was just a stupid human, a cowardly piece of shit that deserved more than what he got.
This country needs more people like the man in black. People willing to give these scum bags a good kicking and teach them they are nothing.
Either that or the police should be given the right to beat those fuckes senseless.

unbeleivable. If that scum was mouthing off at me like that, he'd have been knocked out cold within 30 seconds, never mind 2 minutes.
I dont suppose even with this video evidence, any action was taken against him and he's probably still doing it now.
That poor bloke probably lives in misery and will end up killing the little prat and end up in jail, or commit suicide.
When the hell are the authorities going to step up and start to take serious action against trash like that. Scum with little or no intelligence who's only aim in life is to earn peanuts monday to friday in a brain dead job, then p**s it up the wall on a weekend. Oh, and make everyones life as miserable as their own along the way.
Well folks, the state are NOT ever going to help you. So do like the man did, whack 'em. Just do it faster and harder than he did. I'd rather take my day in court than put up with that.
Rant over.

Fair play to the bloke in the first video. An absolutely justified use of force against an idiot who could have provoked a nunn into fisty cuffs!! What was even more impressive was the the restraint shown by not giving the idiot another slap once he was scuttling away like the pathetic wimp he clearly is. My only critism is why wait that long to hit him? He would have been justified in his actions much much sooner although the wait only added to his justification. Well done that man.

The first video shows just what's wrong in the Blair/Brown Britain we live in today. Nobody stands up for the ordinary guy.Your on your own. Good luck to him he deserves a community award. He should have also decked the mouth with the mobile phone who was stirring it.

I love it when plastic gangsters like that tramp in the vest get what's coming to them. How much of a muppet did he look getting dropped after giving it the big mouth he thought he was. Well done to the bloke for protecting himself and resisting violence for so long. Dickheads like him in the community can make life miserable so round of applause to the chap in black for a classic punch that made the scouse tramp look like a fairy.

This is so sad, this used to be a reasonably civilised country to live in , but with the 80s and Thatcher that all went away, shame on the other commentators who think that it's okay to encourage violence. The problem with the mentalities of these people is they have no proper education, they can't even spell simple words for chrissakes! It's not Blair/Brown that did this but all the morons who voted that mentally ill woman-Thatcher into power in 1979, that's when this country started to degenerate into what it is today-full of non-educated drunken pack animals.

If it was thatcher that started it,why didn`t labour do something about it?.Every one blames thatcher for all the wrong doings in this country.In my opinion labour have been ten times worse than the tories ever where and it looks like the tories are going to be stepping in yet again to sort out what labour have cocked up!.Personally I wouldn`t vote for either of them but it seems the tories are the lesser of the two evils.

Yes Monika, you are absolutely right, of course you are, and everyone else is quite quite wrong - the guy in the vest should NOT have defended himself by the use of violence. He should have continued to be pushed around, hit, have his bin turned over, abuse shouted at him, his family terrorised by this man.......... we are all morons for thinking it is wrong to take reasonable action to defend oursleves. After all, the guy only hit him once - and we are, as you seem to have misinterpreted, condoning that violent behaviour is acceptable, aren't you? I only wish we the high morals that you live by. However I am sure that the guy in the white vest would not hesitate to behave like this towards you or any member of your family and friends - what would you do? Tell him that he is not responsible for his own behaviour but tell him instead that it's all Margaret Thantcher's fault.
You are such an idiot.

The audio was not that marvelous but I do not believe one has to perform any sound analysis to determine that the provocative chap resides less than 1000 miles from Liverpool.
I live in Devon and over the years Liverpudlians have come down here with the sole intention of living on the dole in a nice area, and grabbing a council house. The sort of behavoir one has to witness is not unlike what can be viewed in this video.
While some may moan and grown about the local authority homes being given to immigrants etc, and often quite soon after entering the UK, they can be model citizens compared to Liverpudlians.
It is most strange how Liverpudlians always have such a unique way of pretending to be the poor victims in respect of any calamity rather than authors of their own misfortune.

Hi Dave I cannot but agree with you however I don't think they were scousers I think going by the accent they came from my neck of the woods, Birmingham. That was a Brummie accent.

You are right it is not a 1000 mile from liverpool it is roughly 9 miles it is the wirral the other side of the river mersey.I know people who work as social workers in liverpool and have had to deal with people from devon who choose to live in liverpool and expect to use are resources for housing and dealing with their drink and drug problems.you get good and bad every where I am sure you have louts where you are living.

Re: 1st video; Council estate scum. No pride & no future! Well done to the man in black. To be honest, I don't know if I could have taken that intimidation; I would have been hoping for support from my neighbours rather than hearing them stoking the flames. I notice one of the 'thickos' closes the gate behind his mate in some sort of belated kind gesture. I would have made the scum in the vest pick up the litter and then slapped him all the way home. You can't blame the government; I have lived through the Thatcher years & the Blair years and although I have my issues reagrding these governments, it has only toughned my resolve to be my own man, make my own decisions and aim to be a nice human being.

Glad to see some scum getting slapped! I think the protector of his Family & property should get an award, and the scum idiot should be in prison,
till he cools off a bit and realises what a pussy he really is!

Yes i agree with the 1st video the guy held his nerve very well but just how long would it of took the police to get there if the guy in black was getting a good kicking why did none off the crowd help the nieghbour or are they just as bad by not helping did anyone even phone the police. Scum like this bloke in the vest make me sick and are ruining our neighbourhoods all over Britain its time the goverment to start taking action properly and giving the police proper power and then when they finally get to court let the judge give punishment properly and not just a slap on the wrist and a £100 fine which they can pay back at £3 a week because they have never worked or dont intend to EVER! and the rest of the bleeding country is carrying them SORT IT OUT GORDON!

Will somebody get it right...both men fighting on the doorstep are from St Helens in Merseyside. I know because I live here, to be even more precise it's an estate in Clock Face within St Helens. The scally is not even a scouser he is what Liverpudlians call a woolyback. He may sound scouse to those more south, but to a more discerning local ear he has a St Helens accent which is Lancastrian sounding with only a hint of scouse.
