If there is even the slightest chance you have missed this video of benign Norwegian bodybuilders visiting an extra-small village in order to feel bigger, please give yourself the gift of viewing it now. On my first viewing, I very much barked out a sob of joy, like a bereaved seal. I have been unable to stop watching, since I started.
Here is one of them – the only name we are given is Knut; I have decided to name this fellow Mit Sleeves Karl – delivering a tiny letter to a wee post office.
Here he is again, enjoying a diminutive porch. He is very large, you see, and the porch, she is small. “Here we are really big. And that really boosts our self esteem.”
Here they are, doing pushups on a pocket-sized lawn. Good morning, friends.
Here they are, flexing into eternity on a minikin roller coaster.
Every moment is to be savored without explanation. Do not look for context. I don’t ever want to know anything more about this video than I do right now. I don’t care if it’s a hoax, or a viral marketing ad for creatine, or anything else. I don’t care. All I know – all I need to know – is that Knut looks huge right now, they frame tiny stamps, and these gentle Vikings want to go to Hobbiton and play minigolf.
