This Is a First...

Ok, this is going to sound a bit strange, but this post comes with instructions. To really get the full effect of this video, I would recommend watching it the first time without sound. It is absolutely adorable! So. Let's say you've done that, but you're looking for something more. Watch it a second time with sound. It is so friggin' bizarre, and completely and totally random, but it's really hilarious. After that, then come back and read the explanation after the video.

Apparently, this is a video posted on YouTube by someone in Sweden. The accompanying music references a cartoon about Bamse, the strongest bear in the world (and the kindest!). How does he get so strong, you ask? Why, by eating a special honey made by his grandmother! This honey, called dunderhonug (or "Thunder Honey"), gives him super strength. Naturally, as we can't have superpowered bears running around everywhere, the honey only works on Bamse. If anyone else eats it, they get a tummy ache for three days. The song is apparently a homemade song about Bamse encountering a cat that wants his Thunder Honey, and he tries to tell said cat that if he eats it, he will get a tummy ache.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You can't make this shit up!

Thanks. I've got a client call in about 5 minutes and I can't stop cracking up. Who knew Cartman sang in Swedish?

It wasn't the video that gave you a tummy ache, James, it was the dunderhonung (thunder honey)!
