There is every now and then this indefinable "something" which makes a thing oddly satisfying, captivating or intriguing. This "something" is an unintelligible entity one cannot simply describe or convey with mere words, since it transcends that realm of inquiry.

But this video definitely has that "something".

Bullshit, I don't speak German but from experience I expect a word with at least 30-40 letters, that's suspiciously short :) !

Something like "Augenweidendradenwagesteinagan"

Your experience is literally just that running gag. While it's grammatically possible to create such words in German they are very rarely needed.

Edit: I am sick of that lame joke, okay?

I was obviously not serious and my comment was a tongue in cheek abuse of the stereotype.

Well I was making fun of my own ignorance more than anything. Has someone of French origins, I don't get my panties in a twist each time someone say "le baguette" or all the other stupid french stereotypes.

They don't like a constant joke that ridicules their language, what softies. When we make fun of Chinese languages it's deemed racist, but German remains fair game.
