Woah, I bet he made that video in one of those Supermarket kiosks like in the into to that Tanacious D music vid...

I was impressed by the bug-eyed villain that made an appearance in it twice- WTF was that??!!
Nice matrix-style effects and athleticism on the handle bars of the moterbike

LOL

Mind you, the other clip that was linked on this page 7 pound dildo had me laughing. Two blokes fighing each other with a whip and giant sex toy in a sand pit. Class.

Wish he would stick to bit parts in movies like SpongeBob SquarePants.

But I guess he's big at the Aladdin Casino & Resort in Dusseldorf!

Ahh, the French have Jerry Lewis and the Germans have Hasselhoff....

Thank God the Brits have their own talent.

You have to admit he is a great sport. His cameo is Dodgeball was hilarious.

double post

but...

Does anyone know where this idea of the French loving Jerry Lewis and the Germans adoring Hasselhoff came/comes from ?

I can imagine that "Looking for freedom" may have been a big hit in Germany but it wasn't doing all that shabby in The Netherlands or Belgium at the time either. (Mainly because we like to see KITT jumping.)
But aftwards I've never seen any proof of Hasselhoffmania in Germany.

Jerry Lewis & The French (no, that not the group that brought you "The Power of Love") baffles me even more. I can see no connection between the two.
I've spend quite some time in France and followed the French TV-culture furing the eighties, nineties and Oh-Oh's, but never came across any Jerry Lewis reference.
The french have a very rich comedic and movie heritage, which they are very proud and protective of. Somehow I find it hard to believe Jerry Lewis-movies (which would have been shown in a dubbed version over there) would have made such an impact.

But I could be wrong since numerous references and jokes have been made (mostly if not solely) by American comedians or comedy shows.
Does anyone know the answer to this ?

More sene then the video----! I just realized something--- that oogachauga oogachuga song was used ever so briefly in Reservior Dogs!!

Having Hasselfhoff associated with Tarantino scares me--- maybe QT saw that music video too?
