If this video doesn't cheer up hump day we don't know what will.
Who would have thought that a video of an Irish family trying to get a bat out of their kitchen would be the funniest thing we've clapped eyes on in a long time.
It has to be seen to be believed.
The video was uploaded to Facebook and Twitter by Tadhg Fleming, who had the genius idea to capture the chaotic scene on his camera phone. It has been viewed over a million times already on Facebook, shared thousands of times on Twitter and brightened up many people's days.
What a crazy day 😂😂🙌🏻🦇 #BatDad #CatchHim pic.twitter.com/ztXpAf03qn

The hilarious video has also attracted the attention of some well-known faces.
@TadhgFleming I nearly made myself sick laughing at that. You're a funny man, thanks for sharing.

I am going to need hospitalisation to recover from laughing at this. https://t.co/3JhNC8vC4O

aside from everything else, the Irish bat video conclusively proves that we lead the world in number of kitchen cupboards

This version of "Batman Begins" takes a very Irish approach to his origin story... 😂 https://t.co/POvzavt8BB
