Okay, I see a lot of the most popular memes and references, but disappointed there’s no Grumpy Cat.

Wasn’t that meant to be Grumpy Cat first in the checkout line?

Making it significant when it saw the price and smiled.

I dunno. He looks more like Wilford Brimley than Grumpy Cat.

At approximately 12s there’s a cat with a cat in the background …nicely meta. (whole cucumber and cats thing at 25s) (the product at 55s is “Blackcat energy drink”). Must have been an nightmare exhausting ad to shoot, even if cats weren’t being ‘herded’

I bought a lot of stuff there - except cat food. My cats were picky eaters with a nervous stomach.

Knoxblox ponders how he might train his cats to do his grocery shopping for him.

Knoxblox ponders why his larder is now full of gourmet cat food, and his bank account is empty. :smirk_cat:

That cover image is so weird. The soft, airbrushed face looks so out of place with the usual Philippe Druillet ink work.

I don’t speak German and YouTube auto translate is laughably not working on the German speech.

Yeah, looks like the autotranslate just chooses one language to translate for the whole video and since half of them are speaking English it went with that, basically trying to transliterate the sounds of the German words into English writing.

I found that I could pick up the German from context; it was a pleasant giggle.

My cat gave it a little side eye but was otherwise disinterested… .
