Watch: Irish family thrown into hilarious chaos as home is terrorised by a bat

Derry, you've captured all our hearts - no tea towel required.

“Catch him Derry! Catch him,” Tadhg Fleming cries in a hilarious viral video that has the world in fits of laughter .

Finding an uninvited guest of the animal persuasion in your home is always a sure fire way to get the adrenaline racing.

Tadhg Fleming and family really took things to the next level when a rogue and disoriented bat flew into their home – and they managed to capture it all on film!

Tadhg, who conveniently (go ahead, call me cynical) happens to be a videographer, spots the bat and calls out for Dad, a hero named Derry, to come and handle the situation.

Derry, reaching for the big guns.

After first attempting to capture the bat using a tea towel, Derry (Terminator be damned) realises he is outmatched and reaches for the big guns – a beach towel.

“Come on Derry, CATCH HIM. You’re going to need a bigger towel. That’s it, get him now,” shouts Tadhg ‘helpfully’ from the background.

His Mum (or Mam if we’re sticking with the correct vernacular), watches the whole thing from outside – nosed pressed against the glass anxiously.

And then, just when it seems like things can’t get any crazier, a puppy wees in the middle of the floor.

It’s a circus and we want to join this family so bad.

There are three types of people in this world: Derry, Mam and The Tadhg. Which one are you?
