That said, I agree with you, it's probably a dwarf dressed up.

Comfortably one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Isn't the timing of this a little odd to anyone but myself? I mean really?? St. Patrick's Day isn't far off now (5 days away), and this is happening NOW? Why now, and not 5 months ago?

I'm sorry, but the timing issue is what screams PRE-PLANNING to me.

Just my opinion, of course.

This reminds me a bit of when one of Norways leading television channels, (NRK or TV2) in the mid 90`s; had a video-report, filmed by a ski-jumper. This footage seemed to show a little being, stumbling across the landing-area behind the guy beeing interviewed. At the time, this made big headlines.... ...For about a week, and then died off.

I would be the first to admit, having a race of Gnomes happily stumbling around various part of the world, would be cool. But not likely...

To me, it might be a dwarf in a gnome-suit, but as farfetched as it sounds, it kinda looks like a mutated starfish, jumping sideways

Good point there

As for the point made about the forthcoming St Patricks day, that sounds like a good theory too.

You watch, this gnome will probably end up appearing as the star of some Guinness ads!

Oh yeah it's definetly screaming! So why didn't I hear it! I'm shocked I completely overlooked that!

Thanks to the OP!! I laughed for 2 minutes straight after watching that.

I think the funniest thing is the guy filming it's girly laugh after watching what looks like a sidestepping midget going to a costume party.

lol brilliant stuff, made my day!

Who ever it was seemed to be having a pretty good time

That is the most hilarious video I've seen in awhile. Thanks OP.

Even funnier yet, is some people actually take this seriously.

I wish the fake bigfoot videos were as funny. I guess bigfoot has to learn how to skip sideways like a clown too.

To me this one looks not only funny but a stupid joke as well.

In the moment the so called gnome side steps by lifting up his whatever is wearing (maybe a cloak) you can see something coming up underneath, maybe a pair of jeans or some other fabric. Somebody tried to make a stupid joke to this guys or they are all involved IMO.

Actually, it would walk differently if it was just a scaled down human, compared to dwarfism. This walks exactly like someone with dwarfism. But then again, its been hypothised that the 'hobbits' from indonesia mentioned in this thread, suffered from a population wide hypothyroidism, which results in dwarfism, so maybe gnomes are actually related to hobbits? O_o

Is this supposed to be funny? Cos i nearly choked on my coffee when i watched the video as i was laughing so much!

I wouldn't believe the Sun newspaper if they said grass was green

No offense but that really is quite a ridiculous thing to say. Why did my car pack up today and not 5 months ago when I could afford to fix it?

Anyways I don't know what it is but to me it kinda looks too small to be a midget, granted there isn't much stuff around to compare height to except grass and we don't know how tall that is either but I dunno just looks a bit too small in height and body mass really. Who knows scary ass gnome or scary ass crazy small person running around grass at 1 in the morning either way I wouldn't be walking about on my own.

I thought it was a bit too small for a midget.

It's amazing how blind our prejudices make us isn't it?


Never evaulate a story simply on the outlet which published it.

I can just imagine if I was this age again hanging out with my friends at 1 am and saw this little guy doing the cowboy dance across the road. I know first off we would have probably have been in a fairly altered state of mind and one of 2 things would have happened either
1)how many beers to get the little guy drunk.
2)we woulda played catch the gnome.
Just cant see 4 kids sitting around and not one of them be curious to go chase the thing down. There is always at least one "tough guy" when hanging around at 1am...
