It's a pisstake. I can't remember what grime crew it is but they've got a few videos where they just get crazy but it's parody.

What is going on? Really you can't tell? It's three black guys, one with roller skates, jerking, twitching, and raping. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Gangsters ? if they're anywhere near some now, let's just say I don't envy their situation ... damn shame.

Wonderful! "Taking the piss" is a perfect description of this (and is an immensely useful expression I'm surprised hasn't been adopted sooner this side of the pond).

@8 Search on YouTube for Shadrack & The Mandem they've done a couple videos where they just straight up act fools and do an overblown parody of all the other grime videos you find on YouTube.

I saw this on Comedy Central's show Tosh.0 (which is my guilty pleasure show), and thought it was awesome. But that's probably because for 6 years as a teen, I was a DJ/Floor Guard at a roller rink, and I can also roller disco.

@ 16 - 'Taking the piss' outta somebody is one of those Brit expressions I just never could quite understand.. It's like, why would I want to keep my piss anyway? Why would someone want to take it? I mean, I understand the meaning, but the words are... funny.
The other Brit expression I could never cotton to is to say 'Ta' when you mean 'Thanks'. To an American ear, 'Ta' means 'See ya', so you've basically got all these people running around sounding like they're saying 'See ya' when you hand them a bagel or something. Weird.
Americans and the British: two people divided by a common language.

They're speaking in my hometown accent: Totally South London, probably Croydon or thereabouts. In a tight spot I used to be able to on thick like that, but these days I sound too much like a yank :)

@21: There's levels of saying thanks that american english just doesn't have. 'Cheers' is informal, 'Ta' super-so. To British ears, Americans sound overly polite when they say 'Thanks' for just about everything.

@24&25: oh no, I know you very well now, having been married to and lived here for a third of my natural life ... you kids kinda missed my point :)
