  I thought immediately of Die Antwoord, though they’re not alike at all in most respects.

    They’re like Die Antwoord on crack. How the hell that’s even possible, I have no idea.

I really loved this. It’s almost as good as that Russian video by Mummy-Troll where the pickle people are engaging in public debauchery with dissolute furries.

I want to make space babies with that girl and stuff.

  She’s quite cute, which tells me that the reason I don’t have a girlfriend isn’t that I’m too weird, but rather, am not even close to being weird ENOUGH.

Man the Germans and Japanese take the prize for weird shit on the internet. They should get together some time and … oh wait. NVM, bad idea.

Unbelievable… this song is fairly famous within germans youth, espacially the drugs & goa/gabber community. Even though everyone you ask will tell you it’s horrible. Just so you know, the grammar is very, very bad!
If you liked that, you might also like this one, different artis but same sort of humor (i think) – sadly no subtitles:

I was in Munich last month and caught this video while randomly flipping through the hotel TV, and I’ve been trying to find it ever since! It’s nearly impossible to try to explain this to someone without showing them.
