Forget Siri, somebody needs to tell us where we can get our own puppet assistant a la Petit Michel, the miniature puppet version of renowned French fashion show sound engineer Michel Gaubert.

Petit Michel is the brainchild of luxury automobile brand Mercedes-Benz, created solely for the brand's "Fashion Creatives" series to promote this week's Berlin Fashion Week. Operated by Victor Yerrid, a Jim Henson puppeteer, Petit Michel stars alongside the real Gaubert in this three-minute video that hilariously details their friendship and working relationship.

From Petit Michel's heavily French-accented English down to his witty banters with Gaubert, it's hard not to fall in love with this rock star of a puppet.
