Yowza. When is that picture from?

And it's Fishel...:P

You changed your name to Shawn Hunter? What a geek!!!

Oh well, better than Stuart Minkus. What WAS it with 1993 shows and the geek named Stuart?

Hell BYH, I still watch the show. Is that bad?
 
and... I have friends who are dorks. Actually, I can't say much. I still watch it.

I still watch that show, too. ;D

It's on twice, 2-3 p.m., daily. And it's on again at 2-2:30 a.m., during the week.

I especially like the college episodes, when Topanga has all those curves ...

Oh yeah. Hubba hubba!

Oh good God no, it's perfectly normal!!  :D

Buckweaver is right re: Topanga's curves, but I knew the show had jumped the shark when they got married. Topanga and Cory were on their honeymoon and some elderly lady asked how their wedding night went. Topanag said something like "I rocked his world" and I shuddered. I mean, geez, I still saw them as sixth graders. <-------complete ****ing geek  :D  ;D

David Hasselhoff: A real-life Citizen ****.

Oh man. You just reminded me about the. best. video. ever.



First time I saw it, a few years ago, I couldn't stop watching. It was as if the Cult of Hoff had taken over my brain and I sat perfectly still for three days straight watching the video over and over again. Finally, a half dozen friends stormed my place and did an intervention with a guy named Sven who needed a quart of absinthe and a gallon of lighter fluid to successfully deprogram me.


Oh. My. God.

That was the worst video I've ever seen. Yet it's transfixing in its craptasity.

That looks like it was shot on a budget of $30. In keeping with the "Singles" theme of my original post, when he's flying a la Peter Pan he looks like that woman from "Singles" in her dating video. And the shot of the Africans chanting "ugga ugga ugga" with The Hoff is borderline racist.

But hey, now we at least know the guy who directed "Rock Me Tonite" managed to land another gig.

God, that was so awful, I feel scarred for life.

I don't know what to think when a man whose longtime sig was of a prancing Billy Squier, circa 1985, calls a music video the "worst video I've ever seen." :-\

And, IMHO, FWIW, that Hoff video is one of the most addicting things I've ever seen.

first of all, REE REE REE, it was 1984. And secondly, do not bad mouth The Prancer. Only Junkie and I may do so, and that's in the name of irony. ;D

And you're right about the Hoff video. Why, look at my new sig!!! :D

Blue Swede still has the definitive version of Hooked on a Feeling.

They got the "ooga-chaga, ooga, ooga" chant from Jonathan King's version, which was a hit in England about three years after the B.J. Thomas original.

King also discovered Genesis, 10cc and the Bay City Rollers.

May! Turn off the Bay City Rollers! The match is on!

You have no idea how big a chub I am sporting right now over the fact that you have screen shots from that video as your signature now. Please never change it. "Craptasity" is the perfect description for it. I'll never forget the day someone sent me the link to it. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe, which was unfortunate because I was in a serious office setting and everyone in the offices around me thought I had gone off the deep end. Each time I thought I was about to catch my breath, something more craptastic would happen and I'd end up doubled over in pain again from the laughter. It probably took me two dozen times before I could watch it without passing a kidney stone from laughing too hard.

I can't believe what just transpired within the last five minutes. In fact, I'm not sure if it even did happen. I'm numb. My life has forever been altered and I don't know if that's good or bad. I'm not sure if I should punch you or hug you for posting that video.

I'm going to watch it again.
 
Alright. So I went back and watched and re-watched the video. I think I've boiled it down to seven remarkable highlights.

(Note: The list excludes the following: anytime the Hoff is flying, anytime the lesbian angels are featured and anytime the Hoff's fist is prominently involved. In reality, there's probably about 35 or 40 highlights, but due to space we're cutting it off at seven. Included is the time said highlight occurs.)

16 seconds--The first time we see Hoff in his fur jumpsuit, which morphs into him tobogganing down a hill while standing up.

:37--The superimposed weiner dogs.

:46--The surprisingly athletic Hoff outjumping the Seattle Sonics' 2006 first-round pick.

1:30--The little shake the Hoff gives the camera when it pans away just as he's breaking into the chorus.

2:13--The uber-intense look on the Hoff's face during his forearm dance.

2:25--You have to look closely, but when the Hoff flies in behind the other Hoff, he glides up to him and right before he gets to himself, he gives himself a quick, but passionate look. A look that said, "I wanna **** you."

3:11--His running tantrum across the screen.

Hoff's spectacular new video "Jump In My Car" (featuring a KITT clone) was released last week....

That's right, it's Hofficial... your favourite cult icon wants to take you home! The one and only David Hasselhoff of "Bay Watch" and ... all » "Knight Rider" fame returns with a cover of the 1975 classic 'Jump In My Car' and its a doozy. Recorded in Sydney last year with the legendary Harry Vanda (AC/DC, The Angels), the Ted Mulry Gang tune has been re-vamped with full Hoff gusto and this music video promises to rock the socks off all his Hofficial fans. Watch it, enjoy it, share it on Google Video, courtesy of Sony BMG Australia.

Watch it here:

Now I really want a "Don't Hassel the Hoff" shirt

Ask and ye shall receive...

Don't know about the T-shirt, but I think my apartment's motify would be complete if I could find a framed photo of the Hoff in the fur jumpsuit.
 
I've watched this video so many times since last night, the song has been stuck in my head all day. Somebody please talk me down off the ledge. Please.

I warned you in my original post. They finally had to tie me down to a table and do a forced lobatomy. You may live to 100, but you'll never be the same.

I know you did. That's making it worse. The only good thing about this is I'm going to show everybody I know and ruin/change their lives as well.
 
Glad I waited until after work to check this out. I'm in tears and my face is redder than Hoff's "Baywatch" trunks.
