I thought about posting this in the Random Videos thread, but...no. This deserves its own thread. It's amazing. I've never cared about David Hasselhoff, but he's embraced his typecasting to glorious effect for this 80s melange. It's all here. Street gang, corny one-liner, sweet car, lasers, etc.

This was a video Hoff made for a song he provided for a movie called "Kung Fury".

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS???!!!




Just... yes. Thank you internet.

Also...

The video has almost 5 million views in under 4 days.

Hm, it's cool that there is an actual movie behind this. Although I'm a little disappointed that this video isn't just its own thing. Not sure how to feel. I guess the movie will be pretty awesome. I hope it's either free to watch or on Netflix or DVD when it comes out.

It will be free to watch on YouTube.

6.1 million views and counting.

8.5 million views now. At what point does it get called a "phenomenon"?

When some of the views come more than one person. Vaporman, I think you have a problem. We need to talk.

I have no problem. I can quit at any time... I can!

An awesome cover of "True Survivor" (just wish the Hoff's voice was a little louder here):

I can't wait to watch kung fury, it looks so cool and fun.
