Few things will leave you in complete hysterics, like a pair of career criminals — burglarising robbers, to be more specific, hitting the gym to train.

Only that these are pranksters pulling off an elaborate hoax that is enough to put the zap in shock for those witnessing the madness.

The caption simply read:

"This will always be funny."

The 131-second clip captures two men in all-black trousers, sweaters, shoes, balaclavas, and gloves with bolt cutters walking into a gym.

Once inside, confusion reigns for the other gym goers as the men imitate the stunts, including snatching a lady's purse, usually reserved for actual thieves.

They also imitate breaking a padlock off a gate, ducking at the sight of a police torch, and stealthily climbing a flight of stairs.

The madness morphs into cutting an imaginary bicycle chain and riding off, which one of the jokers impractically rehearses on an exercise bike.

This leaves a section of the gym goers witnessing it gobsmacked while others laugh their heads off. The video has garnered over eight million views.

Hilarious scenes tickle funny bone

Additionally, it made for so much fun that it attracted 100,000 likes, 19000 bookmarks, and 16000 reposts.
