Probably because its title passes the video off as something that is not. Somebody wanting to watch fawlty Towers doesn't want to see a bunch of retard kids dicking around.
Now if the title had been 'Spastic Kids Making Their Own Version of Fawlty Towers' there would probably be very few dislikes - but there would probably no views either.
I'm quite sure they wouldn't even need to write that. Just adding 'remake/reenactment' to the name would help, or even looking at the thumbnail for once. I knew this was going to be a remake when I looked at the thumbnail, so the people who have thumbs downed this video are pretty retarded themselves.
That’s very well done, like the NZ deviation “why, because Ruapehu isn’t erupting at the moment?” the voice of Mrs. Richards in particular sounds very close!
What do you expect to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window, the Sydney opera house? Hanging gardens of Babylon? Heards of wilder beast sweeping majestically?
sorry but i must stress this. NEVER EVER TRY TO COPY A CLASSIC COMEDY LIKE FAWLTY TOWERS! MAKE YOUR OWN BY ALL MEANS BUT NEVER COPY FAWLTY TOWERS! FAWLTY TOWERS IS THE BEST BRITISH COMEDY THERE IS AND BY MAKING A REMAKE YOU HAVE REMOVED ALL THE CHARME OF THIS CLASSIC! IF YOU EVER COPY ANOTHER BRITISH CLASSIC I COULD HAVE YOU PROSECUTED!
Marvelous! Despite somo mistakes in the script, but congratulations to the actress that interpretates Mrs Richards, if I close my eyes listen to her I can see the original one.
I agree with the other posters. Mrs. Richards was very, very good. I think Polly did great too. The boys need to work a bit more and get into character. Overall it was rather enjoyable.

Waaaaaiiit a minute. You cut out the best part of the scene in the hotel room!
"May I ask what you expect to see out of a ???? hotel window? The Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wilderbeests sweeping majestically...?"
Everyone's doing a fine job except the guy playing Basil. Loosen up, dude! Feel it! And don't look at the camera!!!
You pulled that off pitch perfectl! Great job, i used to listen to the old cassette recordings of fawlty towers as a young lad, and you all were spot on your marks. Take a bow, you deserve it. Mrs. Richards and Polly are particularly vocally perfect. Thank you.
Why has this got so many dislikes? It looks incredibly well made and fun.

Okay. So, I take it -- "PoppetProductionz" (if that is yer real name) -- that you are the guy playing Basil?
A ha. I understand completely.
That kid playing Manuel did a pretty good job of it, though.
(Better than you did at playing Basil, anyway.)
I mean... What I mean is that maybe taking an interest in playing the part is an essential part of....**wait for it**... ACTING.
Okay, that's not your calling. But yer surrounded by able actors. What's the problem with tryin...?
