Watch the hilarious moment two paralytic Polish buffoons try to hit each other with an OAR

VIDEO of two middle-aged men having a hilarious drunken fight in a street in Poland has become a viral hit online.

The slapstick scuffle begins as an angry man who has drunk so much he can barely stand grabs an wooden oar from outside a shop and starts poking the shopkeeper between the legs.

He hits back with a measuring stick and the pair trade badly aimed blows with their weapons until the younger man stumbles and falls on the ground.

He falls over again as he tries to get up and makes an embarrassing attempt at a taekwondo-style spin kick that misses its target.

He is chased away by the shopkeeper waving his stick - but when the older man turns his back, his rival sprints after him and bizarrely grabs hold of his leg.

They grapple on the floor and the shopkeeper's shirt rides up to reveal his giant belly as the other man tries to put him in a headlock.

Finally the younger man flees - but not before one final slapstick flourish as he trips over and smashes his face on a bicycle.

The video, filmed in the city of Augustow in North East Poland, was posted on YouTube with the ironic name "Star Wars in Augustow".
