One thing I love about the internet is being able to view....cultural artifacts.....like this completely out of context, with no explanation as to where it comes from. Please don't give me any context. posted by deafmute at 9:43 PM on February 17, 2005

Shouldn't this have some sort of TTWSIYH warning attached? I.E., This Tune Will Stick In Your Head . . . and drive you absolutely insane. However, having said that, I love a happy einde. Joepieee (pffrrrrrt) to you right back, onkelchrispy. posted by LeLiLo at 9:46 PM on February 17, 2005

Anyway, who wants to lay down bets on how long it'll take FARK to name a stadium Pfrrt? posted by shmegegge at 11:55 PM on February 17, 2005
Just because someone foreign makes a silly animation, that does NOT make it the "best of the web".

It's as if the Kids of Whitney High went electronic. It's the Hamster Dance remix all over again. posted by MiltonRandKalman at 12:03 AM on February 18, 2005

In one of those incongruous twists that seems somehow to be just right, the chickens sing with male voices.
It made me laugh, but, I tell ya, onkelchrispy, if that 'la la laaaaa' chorus won't stop running through my brain, I will hunt you down and kill you. posted by essexjan at 1:38 AM on February 18, 2005
I feel sorry for Betsy. She's trying to run a farm and there's this relentlessly flatulent pig causing fart related hijinks. It makes me stop and think about my own behaviour. Parp! posted by chrid at 2:13 AM on February 18, 2005
Here's a live-action clip (yes, complete with flatulent swine): Big en Betsy (.wmv) posted by numlok at 2:40 AM on February 18, 2005

Here's another lovely Big en Betsy video (again, craptacular .wmv).
This one has Betsy and her friends dancing around in clouds of Big's stink.

If anyone's interested, "flopje flauw mopje" translates very roughly into "little fools tell insipid little jokes". I guess it's something you'd have to be Flemish to understand. posted by MrBaliHai at 9:31 AM on February 18, 2005
