Dare for more.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Well, our friendship was nice while it lasted. But remember – YOU’RE the one who posted it on the internet and spread the evil even further.
Oh God. Oh Dear Lord. Sweet Christ on a cracker.
What in the name of Mike is he DOING!??
Emily –
I think ultimately Curly is to blame. She started it.
Alex
I think he’s suddenly realised that the rope should have tied to the tyre.
and thanks for not using a warning url, Sheila..
I don’t dare for more – I can’t dare for more.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m personally never going to drink Pepsi again. I can’t. I just can’t.
The “H” on the shirt – what is that, Team Hasselhoff?
I’ve got a fevah, and the only prescription is
More Hoff!
la-la-la-la-la
Mr. Bingley,
Please step outside and throw yourself in front of the next bus that passes by. Talk about unforgiveable.
DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK!
Bingley, I thought we were friends. You know I read red’s site.
To quote the best line from an otherwise forgettable movie I saw this weekend: “That is disturbing on so many levels”.
I want him to come back to B’Way with another hit show. Didn’t he say something like:
“It took me a lifetime to get here, and I’m NEVER leaving!”
Didn’t he say that? Didn’t he?!
WELL?!
I did for Lisa!
It’s true. I spread the sickness. And I’m not sorry. Besides, it could have been worse… Sheila could have linked to this.
Wow. I feel like killing someone after seeing that link.
You could have e-mailed it to her. You could have posted it on her site. But NOOOOOO. You dropped it here – WITHOUT WARNING – and subjected us all to that nefarious photograph that will torture us for the rest of our lives. We can only pray it doesn’t drive anyone to poke their own eyes out.
The fact that it MOVES is what really makes me mad.
Curly’s moving link did not bother me nearly as much as Bingley’s Shar Peis. At first I thought someone had P-shopped the Hoff’s Mr. Wiggly.
Yick.
Bingley’s photo is old news to me. Been there, done that. Seen it. Although I never really “get over” it, if you know what i mean.
Curly’s stripper-pole Hof is a new one.
Personally, I think the addition of “Tootsie Roll” was a nice touch.
you are a mad and evil genius, curly.
It’s still unforgivable – but I have to tip my hat to ya.
:)
Alas, I cannot take credit for the animation but the music selection? All me.
Oh.. you will PAY for that. My eyes! My freakin eyes!
hahahaha
I love the fact he is single handedly holding back a tidal wave of Pepsi that is simultaneously freaking him out, all the while swinging on a blue tire.
Imagine the photo shoot that produced this.
Carrie –
“simultaneously freaking him out”
oh man … I just BURST into laughter … hahahahahahaha
I have now installed a “Hoff blocker” neural implant. The world is a much better place.
The Hoff might want to have a bit more input on his next photo shoot since he already did the tire swing thing. Mix it up a bit more, you know? Also on the nix list:
— strategically-placed puppies
— fake jewelry in a carrying case
— the stalker-looking-through-the-window look
— suspenders
— skateboard
— puffy shirt
— falcon
— mouse on shoulder (particularly if another falcon is used)
That……was…..genius.
Must…..find……water.
Look at the big ‘H’ on his sleeveless (done by scissors) hoodie! ‘H’ for the Hoff!!
I’m sorry, but I am LOVING the expression on his face.
Photog: ‘Ok, Hoff, now, I need ya to swing back and forth, you know, you’re at the pool, you’re having fun, everything’s good, you got your big watch on, you’re cool. Yeah, just start swinging for me, like that, that’s it. What a day! Having fun! Swinging, yes, point your toes on the backswing, that’s it…Now…now, look out, Hoff, look out! Here comes the tidal wave! You have to stop it, Hoff, you have to! It’s huge! Dare to Move, Hoff, Dare to MOVE!….oh, dare for more? Right, right, ok, go with me, Hoff, you’re the man, you are the life guard, here comes the tidal wave, think of Europe, and that country with the dikes and floods, you are that little boy, Hoff, stick your finger in the dike to stop the tidal wave….yes, yes, yes! We got it, that’s a wrap.’
The Hoff: Thanks, man, I was kinda freaking out there for while, but I think I got it for you.
Carrie, I bow to your brilliance.
“you got your big watch on, you’re cool.”
I can’t stop laughing.
“You got yur big watch on”!!!!!
AH HAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHA
Christ!
I’m gonna kill her.
Thanks Red. I appreciate that. So does my new psychiatrist who will be making a bundle off my new diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder. I hope you’re pleased with yourself.
Cruel, cruel woman.
Seriously, who is this guy’s manager? Who lets him take pictures like this?
I’m intrigued by the daintiness of his ankles.
I feel for the poor schnook who had to retouch the photo – you know, get rid of the apelike hair growing on his ankles. Or just maybe, Sara, I think those may be stunt feet.
Oh.
My.
God.
I don’t know what else to say…I think I need one of those memory-erase thingies from “Men in Black”.
OMG…. its a series… the madness continues… here
Is he wearing clogs?
I am dead now.
Photog: Oh, yeah, Hoff, that was great…Cece, can you get him into costume?
Costume Gal Cece: Hoff, if you’ll come with me, I have some nice Elvis threads for you….
20 mins later.
Photog: Ok, Hoff, now, here we. Lookin good, buddy, lookin good. Here’s the deal. You’re still at the pool, having fun, doing your thing, playtime’s over and you’re working, see, yeah, you are entertaining the kids, singing your heart out. You’re cool, you got your mariachi pants, your silver tipped cowboy boots, you’re all in white, there’s an Elvis vibe going, yeah, that’s it, Hoff, give me some Elvis, yeah, you got your red bandana, love the bracelet, you’re singing, you’re singing…..oh, no, look out Hoff!! The tidal wave is back! It’s back! No, underneath you! Yes, it coming out of the floor! A Big, Giant, Bottle of Pepsi is coming to get you, Hoff, and you can’t decide if you want to open it up or shove it back into the ground! Ooops! Hoff, the mic stand has caught on the bottle cap! The tidal wave is coming! And you’re wearing ALL WHITE! Look out, man! Look out! Dare for more! Dare for more! Ok, that’s a wrap.
The Hoff: Thanks man, I was a little angry there, thinking I’d already defeated the tidal wave, like, what the hell, can’t a guy just sing these days without having to save his audidence, but I think I got it for you.
Carrie – I’m with curly. I bow to your brilliance.
“Look out, man! Look out! Dare for more! Dare for more! Ok, that’s a wrap.”
hahahahahahaa
Well, it’s official: there is no God. No higher power would allow pictures like that to exist. Thanks for crushing the last remaining vestiges of my faith!
I’ll be over here, weeping softly.
Let’s see, so far in this thread, we have broken friendships, physical sickness, death and suicide threats, and loss of faith in God.
All because of a David Hasselhoff picture. My God, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?
Emily – it gets worse. Look at what Stevie has done.
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That’s enough to bring Leonardo Da Vinci back from the dead just to sue.
I think the “H” stands for wHore, as in media.
And I think I may hate Sara because I actually stopped, scrolled up, and examined the dainty HassleAnkles.
What the hell is wrong with me?
It’s because you’re not scanning in those ticket stubs and writing those doggone concert posts, Alex! The concert god is taking his vengeance on you through Hoff.
My Hoff-blocker appears to be working ’cause I couldn’t see the image at Stevie’s.
Cullen,
Consider yourself blessed.
While I accept blame for unleashing The Hoff way back when, please let the record show that I have never used him to deface a work by one of the Masters.
(Psst! Brilliant work, Stevie! Wish I thought of it!!)
Cullen, you’re right. I need to get back in the saddle and work on that. People need to know what I thought of the 9/5/88 G’n R show at the Felt Forum (a.k.a The Paramount, and now The Theatre at Madison Square Garden.)
At least I hope they do.
Now, back to the Hasselhoff meme:
Am I the only one who is dumbfounded a team of marketing people met several times, ate several expensed lunches, traded innumerable emails and telephone calls, and not one of them had the courage to open his or her mouth and scream that this entire promotional concept was a bad idea.
Like, gigantic trainwreck bad, where no one survives and some town’s water supply is contaminated forever by pollutants carried in one of the cars, which causes people to get cancer for generations and then someone makes a movie starring John Travolta about it.
That kind of bad.
What about the kind of bad where the movie stars Julia Roberts and is only successful because she shows off her cleavage the whole time and says FECK a whole lot?
That’s bad.
Cullen – Actually, believe it or not, her movies are sometimes successful because people like me like to go and see her act, because we enjoy her work. So there.
I wonder if David Hasselhoff says “FECK.”
I must confess that I believe that David Hasselhoff is capable of fine work. His performance in The Spongebob Squarepants Movie was the stuff of legend.
Oh dear.
I just noticed the belt that The Hoff is wearing. How unfortunate…how Logan’s Run.
I’m still trying to figure out if Sheila really meant Julie Roberts when she said, “because we enjoy her work.” ;)
I am, of course, kidding. I’ve been married too long to not know the fallacy of my argument.
I HAVE DIED AND GONE TO HOFFAN!
http://www.pepsisamba.com.au/hoff.html
OMG, OMG, OMG. D/L’ing to my MSN account NOW!!!!!1111
Well, I don’t know anything about being married – but I’ve always liked Julia Roberts, and felt that not only was her fame WELL deserved, but that she is also better than a lot of people think she is. I think sometimes her taste in projects leaves something to be desired – which is a huge issue- but I have always been a fan of her work, and I think, despite her celebrity, she is very under-rated as a talent.
The clincher for me was her acting in Closer. An unglamorous part where she comes off looking like a neurotic fucking nightmare – she allows herself to be seen as NOT likeable – a HUGE deal for a star of her caliber – and she has a long extended fight scene with Clive Owen that is so good that I found myself holding my breath watching it.
She’s much better in ensemble scripts – where there’s a ton of good actors. I think when she’s surrounded by really solid actors (like in Notting Hill, or Erin Brockovich) she is able to really show her stuff, because she has to compete – it grounds her. It’s when she’s the ONLY big star in the film that I think she seems adrift, and probably the director just wants to cash in on her celebrity.
But when she is used well – when she is actually allowed to, you know, act – I think she’s terrific.
I’ve always thought so.
Of course, many many people disagree wiht me, obviously – actors in particular are unusually CAUSTIC about Julia Roberts (they’re just jealous!!) but I always defend her when the chance comes up.
Carrie – wow – look at this one.
http://www.pepsisamba.com.au/wallpaper_hoff_2-1.htm
Look at the huge rope.
IT MAKES NO SENSE!!! WTF???
I love this!! I hope Hasselhof’s star never wanes. This is far too entertaining.
I know!! Look at the Hoffcons!! They are called Hoffcons!! I am so tempted to download the screensaver to see if it moves. And I am loving the example screenshot of the chat screen, the two Hoffs chatting away to each other.
Hoff #1: I am really pissed off here, tryin’ to sing but this damn tidal wave keeps coming back at me
Hoff #2: Tidal wave?! Tidal wave?! OMG IM FREAKING OUT!!
Hoff #1:
I just had the opportunity to see Closer for the first time on HBO. It sure does have some unbelievable performances in it, Julia Roberts included. Clive Owen blew me away, though. What a wretched, evil, scheming, nasty, detestable prick of a character. I love the individual performances more than the movie as a whole. Everybody was great.
It was a movie I didn’t really have an interest in seeing, either. It just happened to be on, and I never ended up changing the channel. I wanted to see what happened to these dysfunctional people.
It’s one of those films where you kinda need to follow it up with a happy movie to lighten the mood.
Holy crap.
They can never take this site down.
I forwarded the original photo to a buddy who can always be counted on for a suitably offensive remark.
Seconds later, I received this IM:
“What’s this an ad for? Cock-a-cola?”
That was prior to seeing the full site and the giant rope photo which, frankly, makes me feel dirty for having seen it.
This site is a treasure.
I haven’t seen it. And my J. Roberts bashing has little to do with her acting and more to do with her choice of film (as you pointed out Sheila). However, nothing she’s done has ever wowed me.
Alex – wasn’t Clive such a prick??? GREAT performance. I thought he should have won the Oscar.
And totally – it’s not really a cheerful ‘date night’ kind of movie, is it??
Ummm, guys?
Make sure you click the link at the bottom of the RopeFest page:

Sheila, why Clive Owen isn’t a massive superstar is beyond me. The guy has some serious acting chops.
Yeah, he’s amazing. I don’t think massive super-stardom is his destiny. I think he will have a career like Ian Holm’s. Which is far better than fleeting super-stardom if you think about it.
He’s one of my favorite actors.
He’s on his way Alex. Anyone who would turn down Bond and still want to be acting is someone who is having offers thrown at him from high places.
I think the next couple of Sin City flicks are guaranteed blockbusters.
I surrender:
http://www.stage5.com.au/shop_dh.php?what_category=6
Don’t Hassel the Hoff, baby!
Sheila, have you seen the BMW short films, where Clive plays The Driver?
So cool.
I hope not, actually. Or – I hope he can keep a journeyman’s attitude towards it, like Johnny Depp seems to. The blockbusters are paycheck-jobs – which can finance him doing little pictures (which happen to be far superior pictures 99% of the time).
Clive Owen is definitely a star. But he’s also a fine fine actor. I hope he can have both.
Oops, my last comment was referring to the “blockbuster” comment – sorry!! Many people commenting!!
Alex – I don’t think I have seen the BMW films! Are they on TV, or …
I think he would have made a great Bond – but I’m also a Daniel Craig fan as well. Is he the final choice for Bond? I lost track of that whole thing.
-imaginging The Hoff as Bond. Oh, wait, Knight Rider, doh!
The Bimmer films were a web-only thing that have since been taken down by BMW.
Each short film in “The Hire” series was helmed by a big-time director, like John Woo, Ang Lee, John Frankenheimer, and several others.
I’m sure they’re still floating around on the web somewhere.
I ordered them on DVD before they killed them for good. The DVD was FREE! All BMW made people pay was shipping, which was like 3 bucks.
Craig is the final pick as Bond. I think it’s great for the franchise.
I think the fact that the Sin City movies are being done by Robert Rodriguez will guarantee the journeyman attitude. All his films have that attitude about them. I really appreciate him. I really appreciate that he dropped out of the director’s guild so he could give Frank Miller an assistant director’s credit for Sin City (among other reasons, I’m sure).
Clive Owen leapt off the screen at me in King Arthur — the first thing I remember really “seeing” him in, though I do remember the BMW commercials. I hope he has all the success that he wants. Selfishly, I want him to keep doing these cool roles.
And on the Bond front, while I think Clive Owen most closely matches what I’ve always pictured as Bond in my head, I think Daniel Craig will do just fine.
Okay, I just looked at the Pepsi promo site… what, pray tell, does The Hoff have to do with samba? I could understand German folk dance, but samba? What gives?
::sigh::
Why am I always late to the party?
