Hasselhoff? More like Hassel **HOTT**! DH is one of my “I’m ashamed that I find him smokin’ hot” celebrities. _Believe_ me, I’m not proud of it. ---

For the past year, Jon Ronson has built a relationship with King that reveals him as a man of no little charm, stunning ego - and completely unable to accept he has done anything...

Thank you! (Wipes away tears of mirth) I’ve been having a rough few weeks lately, and that video had me belly laughing in a way I haven’t for a long time. 🙂 Thanks for the link, Kolak of Twilo! ---

I can’t load the thing for some reason, but I saw a video on the web several years ago of Hasselhoff doing this song. It was pretty silly, but I’m wondering if someone edited it for even more silly goodness. ---

Dear _OG_ was that _evil_, i had just finished watching the linked vid and as it ended, we _lost power_ for 4 hours… Behold the Evil of David Hasselhoff! as far as the vid itself goes… Meh, Leonard Nimoy’s “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” is creepier… ---

Only the first 30 seconds or so of that video have loaded on my dialup connection, and I can already tell how bizarre this thing is going to be. I just know I’m going to love this. And in return for sharing this thing of beauty with me, a humble Hasselhoff obsessor, I now present my fellow dopers with two more links of Hasselhoffy goodness: [The Hasselhoff Arcade!](http://www.transbuddha.com/index.php/buddha/the-hasselhoff-arcade/) – Play fun and exciting games like **Pac-Hoff** and **Hoff Invaders**! [Wax Hoff!](http://www.waxhoff.com/) – Strange. Disturbing. Oddly arousing. Oh, and here’s a nice picture that further illustrates David’s [love of puppies](http://www.perezhilton.com/topics/love_line/ladies_all_this_can_now_be_yours_20060112.php), just for good measure.

I can’t believe there hasn’t been a single NEMO-ripoff comment yet. (C’mon: OOGA-CHAKA???) I’m half-german and honestly I haven’t run into a lot of references to Hasselhoff (musically) over there(or anywhere for that matter), but if this is a sample of his musical “genre”… it’s a brilliant satire. I can’t possibly believe ANYONE can take THIS seriously. I laughed my a$$ off! (the spanish comments ain’t shabby either… "don’t mix medications… botox does this to your brain, etc. etc.) ---

I’m kicking myself for not buying that Hoff lunchbox that I found in Munich back in '87. 😃 My Hasselhoff obsession began as a joke when a friend from the other message board I post on made [url=]this for me (don’t you love it? you know you do!). It grew from there, and now I find myself going out of my way to find Hasselhoff-related stuff. And that lunchbox sounds damn cool.

(the spanish comments ain’t shabby either… "don’t mix medications… botox does this to your brain, etc. etc.) The song long predates Finding Nemo, and I suspect the Ooga Chaka in the movie was inspired by the original. ---

He was in Australia recently and seemed to be pretty cool. Didn’t take himself too seriously and had a bit of fun (though he did seem a bit bewildered when pop singer Ben Lee kissed him after winning a music award.)
