May we present, Mourinho and the Special Ones

It’s a safe assumption that this will not be the breakout hit of the new season....though I guess anything is possible.

So this appeared on the Internet last week.

It’s apparently an official trailer for something called “Mourinho and the Special Ones”. It’s, umm, well, it’s...umm...it’s got a monkey?

Just watch.

So yeah, we don't know either. It really looks like it was inspired by Stephen Chow's 2001 soccer/kung-fu/comedy masterpiece Shaolin Soccer, with an animated Jose Mourinho thrown in for good measure.

I’m serious about Shaolin Soccer, it’s fantastic.

STOP LAUGHING. IT’S REALLY GOOD.

If you haven’t seen Shaolin Soccer, you really should check it out. It’s definitely better than whatever that gem from YouTube will end up being.
