In the YouTube latest video, the family are treated to a pizza party by Mark and a female friend.<\/p>\n<p>However, the opening minutes of the video show Ray \u2013 who only grunts \u2013 being asked how he knee was, which he then starts showing to Mark and the female. He refuses to put the leg of his jeans down, and appears to be limping, but nobody is quite sure what the issue is.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Woman performed sex act outside Iceland before stealing booze then food from Greggs<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>For more weird news of weird people doing weird things, click here.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31191770.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Deliverance-inbred-family-treated-to-pizza-party-but-concern-grows-for-grunting-bloke.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The video then cuts to Mark offering the large inbred family pizza from a local Pizza Hut takeaway, while Ray then appears to show the group that he has a new pair of jeans . . . and a television, while ray then lies down on the couch to show Mark his knee once more.<\/p>\n<p>Mark then begins to feel the knee to check what&apos;s going on, as Ray grunts in pain \u2013 but it is still unclear exactly what was going on with it.
