Unless you’re familiar with the brand Humanic and unless you can understand the German title of this YouTube video, you might have a difficult time figuring out what this circa 1970 German commercial is about. One thing is for certain: it clearly provided some of the inspiration for Sprockets.

Just moments ago, I was thinking to myself that I hadn’t seen a wacky Internet video in all of about two days, and like a knight in shining armor, my friend Michelle at Best Week Ever Tweeted out this insanely bizarre story about a German man who has taken on a feline bride. I don’t know why he’s done this — artistic expression or mere lunacy? — but it’s entertaining nonetheless. And so very German. Certainly puts a new meaning on liking da pussy (ohhhhhhh SNAP! I went there).
For those of you fluent in the language, be sure to check out the full story here.
