Robert Huth has to be the funniest German person in history, right?
The former Stoke City, and now Leicester City, defender has always shown a cheeky personality on social media, challenging the stereotype that German people are all humourless robots whose laughter muscles have atrophied afters years of disuse.
Yesterday, it was announced that Huth will join the Foxes permanently, and he tweeted out this goodbye.
STOKE YOU HAVE BEEN SENSATIONAL!!! Thanks for everything, I'll never forget it!

This prompted his friend Jon Walters to get all wistful, and things started off very bromantically between the duo.
Gutted @robert_huth has left the club. Up there with the best defenders in the league and he always made me look good standing next to him!

Walters then made a small joke at Huth’s expense, and as Germans often do, he escalated things dramatically (but more importantly, hilariously).
@JonWalters19 Yep sadly we'll never hear those commentators words again: "long ball forward from Huth, finds Walters who shoots… Throw in"

Huth displayed the kind of wit there that wouldn’t look out of place in a Tarantino movie. Any chance of a sequel to Inglorious Basterds where they fight in another basement?
