Despite Big & Betsy's Provincial Viewing in Belgium, it Recently Appeared on the Internet

Back in 2000, Studio 100 premiered its colorful children's show on VTM: "Big and Betsy." It centers around an anthropomorphic pig (Big) and his human friend (Betsy), whose antics in the farm are kid-laughable. It became a hit among Flemish kids, that a section in the Plopsaland De Panne theme park on the Flanders coast is devoted to them.

Although this children's show is internationally neither as popular as "Barney and Friends" nor "Teletubbies," one music video from an episode recently saw the global light of the Internet, thanks to YouTube (and other video-sharing sites) and the blogosphere. While Big gathers eggs, he flatulates to a catchy song, much to the amusement of the chickens. Betsy became flabbergasted when Big's gas (in place of the yolks and whites) emitted from the eggs. Soon, a few other farm animals join the fun with Big and the chickens, until Betsy halted it by throwing a cake on his face. It turned out that Betsy became entertained by his flatulence, although he emitted it while taking a bath. This is (dare I say it) the most popular of all the Big and Betsy scenes because of widespread fame on the Internet.

Although I give it 8/10, due to not having the whole series broadcasted worldwide, this rating is fairly good due to the above scene being one of the most viewed viral videos. This gives me a good laugh anyway.
