Jan 26 2006David Hasselhoff is hooked on a feeling

This guy is popular in Germany?

I am never, ever going there.

That's what Linda Parson (ignorant one) from the Kanye West posts; is going to have to face when she dies.

WTH is wrong with D.H.? To much Baywatch sun burnt his train of thought?

Thanks for posting the link again (missed it 1st time). WARNING--do not watch this video at work--you will get busted for laughing too hard! Ow, my ass hurts!

David Hasselhoff and K-Fed should make a video together.

What kind of a sick joke is this???? I need a doctor, I think my brain just hemorrhaged.

OMG...He's hooked on something! And after watching this...I think I may need to get hooked on something too...and fast!!!
This is so effing hysterical...Its even better than the KFed one.
Thank you, thank you Superficial. This is probably the single funniest thing I will see this week.
I'm gonna play it again. Its like he is cheese, but doesn't know he is cheese...Which is the cheesiest...

I'm hooked on a feeling- nausea. If that dude can fly, why did he bother with that talikg car?

I saw this at work a couple of days ago and I thought it was a joke. My personal highlight was the backshot( heh) of the, I assume, African kids jumping up and down behind him.

Clearly Germany aint feeling him that much if he couldn't even afford better special effects.

Oh.My.God.What happened to Night Rider? That was like watching a cross between a childern's show and "The Air up There 2".

This video must have cost close to two whole dollars to make. Oh wait, I forgot about the Lord-Of-The-Rings-worthy special effects, forgive me, it was probably more like $3.50.

But damn, Hasselhoff is still sexy as hell, that's right, I said it, SEXY AS HELL! Oh, and by the way, I love that song.

Hey, don't hassle the Hoff.

ok - this so makes up for sitting through that insufferable k-fed popozao video the other day (like nails on a blackboard)...

i am just trying to figure out - what's up with the Nanook of the North head to toe fur and why did he take a whole fish in his mouth?

That is just damn funny. LMAO. And what exactly is he promoting? It looks like a tourism commercial. No wonder his wife is divorcing him. Agreed with #1 - I am never going to Germany.

Let me get this straight...

Mediocre Acting + Mediocre Singing = Millionare & World Tours

How can I get a job like this?

Looks like the rents due...

I had no idea David Hasselhof was a drug addict. Sad.

Funny video though. It's so... so... so... "happy." So very very "happy."

LMAO.. Is this his version of a "Wierd Al"-type vid?

Does anyone have a DVD or VHS copy of this?!?! Contact me at: chris@rockboxfilms.com - DH in the outback gear jumping around with the tribe people in the background. Can't make complete sentences. Unreal. More. Genius.

I will never look at cheese the same way again.

The poor guy. He's just screaming for help. But I'm not sure that the top shrinks in the world would know how to handle this one or even where to start. The 'issues' ...the 'issues'...

Jesus christ, this video is old news on the internet.

Come on Superficial, you're slippin'. More about boobs and celebrities that dress up like hobos.

Sonofabitch - please, oh pleeease, tell me this is an inside joke for some kind of deranged Christmas party, and that it was never MEANT to be taken seriously... That would demonstrate a wonderful level of irony present in Hasselhoff. I know it is a very slim chance - but dear GOD!

This is perhaps the most awesome thing I have ever viewed. THANK YOU, superficial, for brining it to my attention.

Oh My God! Michael Bolton reject alert~

I just had surgery - I think I broke a couple of stitches in there laughing.........

I am SO looking forward to watching this when I get home. My computer at work has no sound set up. This is going to be hysterical......

I agree with you, this is surely an overdose of "awesome," I especially love his surfing ability and the way he catches the rubber fish in his mouth.

I just got this oooggga chaggga crazy feeling, ooggaa chagggaa that this didn't win a Grammy Ooogaa chaagga oog.
Actually Google video had the extended version of this for a while and in it 'Kit the car' runs over him a few times. (Thk God)

RockBox23, just go to http://www.youtube.com and do a "David Hasselhoff" search. You'll get this video and additional DH videos as well. There's one from his Knight Rider days. It looks like a love song dedicated to KITT.

oh my god I love it!

I would totally put down money for this... much better then looking at some white trash idiot that actually thinks we take him seriously!

This looks like the type of music video you can get done at a mall or amusement park!

I love it!

that is probably the best thing I've ever seen.

hilarious.

I think that supposed "feeling" he's hooked on is actually numbness from all those Botox injections he had! I could not even watch this video, I thought I was going to pop something laughing...

This explains his divorce. After watching this I'm sure his wife told him she could never have sex with again. What's even scarier is that you know he was digging it the whole time and thinking..Yeah! this is going to be soooo happening! I'm sooo cool!

Okay, I am new to this site but that is possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen. Of course, I can no longer see since I just stabbed a knife into my eyeballs. Thanks Superficial.com!

OMG!! This guy is on crack AND suffering a mid-life crisis!! Wasn't he supposed to be releasing some sort of rap hip hop album?

I've never wasted more time.... those precious few minutes will haunt me when I'm on my deathbed wishing I had more time... damn you Hasselhoff....

** message from the wrecking yard of beyond **

K.I.T.T has just renounced any association with David Hasselhoff. Any one that clearly does NOT have a grasp of technology should be arrested and forced to work in a commodore 64 plant.

I smell an GTV Video award winner...Hasselhoff should also receive the Lifetime Achievement Award of Excellence in German broadcasting.

just say no to CRACK

I like it best when he puts the fish in his mouth.

My socks flew off my feet and straight up to the ceiling, where they remain.

Damn, my feet are cold.

Thanks a lot David Hasselhoff ...now I'm blind from scratching out my eyeballs.

Ahahaha, this video made my day. What a Jackass!

Just thinking about it, this video is a total drug trip. Hell, he must have been on drugs himself to make this video. There is no other kind of logical explanation!

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, but this is by far the greatest thing I've ever seen. David's talent is obvious! Seriously. No, SERIOUSLY.
I'm in awe.

...Sorry for posting twice...but this was so funny...it made up my mind to vote for the Superficial for the best entertainment blog...
Its http://2006.bloggies.com
{can't link it from my work computer}

wth? this is soooo teh old!

I think what scares me most about this whole thing (besides the song getting stuck in my head) is that it's a lot of alaska in the background and a shot of the city of anchorage at the end.

I'm glad you're featuring this more prominently now. My friends and I managed to find it when you first posted it, and it's just as ridiculously funny now as it was when I first saw it!

I think I am seriously damaged for life. My eye sockets are bleeding and my ear drums burst. I think I have a strong suit for personal injury or something.
OMG, this was horrible and funny at the same time. Don't ever do this to me again, lol.

I have never laughed so hard in the history of existence. I think it's fabulous that he was willing to travel to all those locales and definitely not use a green screen and special effects that could be simulated equally well on an Atari!

The absence of any woman whatsoever (sans the creepy little girl fairies) makes it obvious that this is a love letter to himself.

That's ... rather disturbing.

I'll have what Dave's having.

I can imagine D.H. waking up the next day, brushing his teeth, making breakfast, feeding the prisoner in his basement, then surfing the internet finding this video of himself and go... "what the fuck?"

because clearly, he must've been on some pretty damn wonderful drugs when he made this

It sort of makes me want to dust off my old BayWatch VHS tapes and masturbate to Pam Anderson again. Seriously....what the Fu@k is this? Is this some sort of spoof, is german television really this desperate, I have to assume that after seeing this, there is no way this guy is straight.

LOL @50! Me too!

What's really scary is that GERMANS EVERYWHERE ARE MASTURBATING TO THIS.

I have watched this 4 times now. Every time someone comes into my office I make them watch it. I am spreading the love... This is not so far from Baywatch; he did cheesy videos on that show too.

That was gay....like Liberace gay.

Wow. Amazing.

Only words that are coming to mind.

Can anyone tell me what that stupid thing that's just bopping up and down is supposed to be? It appears when he's riding and/or flying his "motorcyle" and also appears near the end of the song.

this must have been released only in germany- every possible animal that could have been seen drinking water in the jungle is replaced with a dachshund. hahahaha

How much money do i owe you guys for letting me see that? I'm just at a loss for words over that one. Thanks

This is why Al Gore invented the internet.

Hasselhoff rules Germany.

Just gets better everytime you watch it.
This is what happens when you have too much mushrooms

Pedophile.

We are truly alone in the universe.

WOW, this video made me cry. With Joy! I love this SOOO much.

No, Mezzro, we're not alone in the universe. Didn't this video teach you anything at all?! Well, it taught me that David Hasslehoff is EVERYWHERE! Sometimes there's two or three of him at once.

I think one of the Village People is missing a member...WOW! Who thought David was so *zany*! David is sure game for anything..We go from Babewatch to the Sponge Bob movie to this. While David was on the motorcycle, the guy in the frog glasses creeped me the fuck out. Otherwise it was HILARIOUS!

mmmmm fake salmon sushi!!!!!

the only thing missing is MORE COWBELL!!!!

I want to put this video on my myspace website but I can't find the code anywhere. That totally sucks! =(

I'm not the only one who noticed that the video cuts to two 8 year old girls just as he sings "yeah you turn me on" and then cuts away, right?

Celetina, you cracked me up.

What kind of idiocy IS this? I'll tell you what it is - HILARIOUS is what it is. He appears to be on some sort of hallucinogen.

Is DH a cyborg? He hasn't aged a day since I was 9.

That was so corny.
Why make a video when all you can afford is a green room?

This video is kinda like what your retarded relative would be watching, but he/she would be fast-forwarding and rewinding the tape at the part where the talking smoke alarm is singing about being cool about fire safety.

Or something.

Now I realise why MTV has become irrelevent.

I was crying, but then realized my eyes were bleeding, not crying

What the fuck was THAT?

I wish I had 15 dollars, some kite string, and a plastic fish. Then I could be just as great as David Hasselhoff and make my own super music video..
p.s. wtf was that alien thing in the background?

OMFG I laughed so hard I peed....just a little.

Posted by careyanne "This looks like the type of music video you can get done at a mall or amusement park!"

LOL you are sooo right!!

I've been to Germany; everyone there is drunk, high and very happy.That has to explain this video. They have really good drugs in Germany.

Even funnier than seeing this egomaniacal buttmunch dance around like he's got diarrhea was watching my 2 year old twins singing "OOOGGAAA OOOGGAAA OOOGGGAAA CHAKA" at the top of their very loud voices.

I was crying and laughing at the same time.

The Hoff is The King.

At a loss for words although "awesome" does come to mind. Now THATS Entertainment!!!

I live near Germany and believe me, they don't like this jerk either! He screwed it up worldwide.

And yes, we have good drugs over here =)

...what just happened? Why does my ass hurt?

D.H is definitely Hooked on a Feeling alright; more "high on the happy side more like it".

Could be an ad for chips or something because the words "corny" and "cheesy" comes to mind.

Hasslehoff is incredibly gay, but i still love him.
Maybe because I'm gay as hell...

Where are the Brokedick Mountain people and all of their serious commentary now??? This clip is more addictive than crack. This is what the Superficial is all about!!!!!

If all of you could have heard my seven-year-old daughter's uncontrollable laughter when she saw this: Priceless. She summed it all up in a nut shell when she replied; "What a dork!"

This is AWESOME.

refreshing to see someone not take themselves so damn seriously and bring myself to laughter apon tears.

because that was the point. not mind blowing special effects. duh.

It's like whoever made this video hates DH and wanted to embarrass him, and he just went along with it! Wow did he learn nothing in 25 years in the biz or is this just entertaining and deep to Germans?

My comments are usually complex, verbose and grandiose expressions of the over-arching theory (reality) of de-evolution. This performance by Mr. David "I Danced Till The Wall Came Down" Hasselhoff neatly replaces the pontifications I could fit on to a 20-DVD volume of original essays and musings, primary-source documentation, oral histories and similar anecdotal evidence, and citations from the literature of various scientific, pseudo-scientific and anthropological journals.

This does not, however, mean I'm out of a job. Now it can be told. Every man, woman and mutant shall know the truth about de-evolution.

Kindest regards, Mr. Hasselhoff.
============
We must repeat!

This is like 6 or 7 years old.

happy german bashing, eh?

do you really really take him serious in this video? don't you think he is capable to make fun about himself while knowing what he is doing? sure this video is studpid, but he intended it to be..

and about the german-thing - the guys who said that they'll never go to germay: good idea, no need for you there. the rest: come over and see how open minded people are .. david-hasselhoff is mainly known in germany for his night-rider acting. but that was in the 80's!! which year are we in right now?

get a life!

my socks are definitely rocked off. cheesey or not, i LOVE the hoff!!! thanks for the link, man.

Sulu, creepy factor 8...engage.

"come over and see how open minded people are"

Thanks for the tip. I've seen enough fisting/bukkake videos to know how open minded German people are.

Germany: where the mind is open and the armpits are hairy.

This video can be explained by his addiction to mini-bar booze bottles.

So... who decided this was a good idea?

What on earth is that creepy hood wearing goblin thing? Anyone...Bueller?

David Hasslehoff is a king among men and you people have no taste. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of video 'art' to grace the superficial and I deem all of you unworthy.

Über lame video. But he honestly has a good voice.

Forgot to mention...I remember this video from at least 5 years ago.

this is so damn funny! I loved it! I have had such a crappy day, and I came home, watched this, and now my day is better! haha, it's soo damn hilarious!

is it just me or is this video completely racist. David Hasselhorse is a racist. Breaking news. But I guess in this day and age being gay cancels that out.

I don't care who you are or how you feel about him. That is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. You cannot tell me that just because the man's had too much plastic surgery you did not laugh your ass off. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go ice my sides because they hurt from laughing so hard.

I heard that after shooting this video, he and Clay Aiken had wild, gay, sweaty sex with each other.

I like the creepy goblin thing. It adds hilarious randomness and it's better looking than David Hasselhoff. Two motorcycles with one stone!

P.S. Is randomness a word?

Haha, David Hasslehoff. His song "Hot shot city' is particularly good.

I think the germans consider him the greatest amusement ever to come out of the USA. Of course they love him, just like most on this comment page loves him.

I wonder if he knows why they love him though...

You.....cannot be serious....

I run a blog on indie music and I've had to listen to a lot of crap to get to the good stuff, but this is just disgusting and disgraceful. He should be ashamed of himself.

OMG. I am totally freaked out. And to
think that I had a crush on hasselhoff
when I was a teen (I still have a little
bit). WTF he was thinking when he do
THAT?!?!

That's my first time seeing a D H video.
I am not the same, he's like botox. I
can't feel a thing.

you silly guys from zee foreign countries don't know what good music ees. zees is exactly ze soundtrack to invade poland hihihi!

DAMN YOU, Superficial... I had this monstrosity playing over and over in my head after playing only 20 seconds of this video.. HELP, MY BRAIN IS ROTTING...

I wouldn't mind betting that the guys who did the special effects for Neverending Story did these too. (With the very same equipment from 1985 ... talk about back to the future).

I think Mitch got into Hobie's mushrooms.

david david david you've done it again. oh how i love you. i have been doing that sweet little dance and singing that song for weeks now.

i laughed, i cried, i too want to know WTF is the big-eyed creepy thing at the end? also i am wondering what's up with the feather so jauntily affixed to his shoulder during the tribal dance scene. i don't know which is my favorite persona: him wildin' out with his tux and Mystic Tan, fist pumping, or him as Nanuk chomping on a trout.

this has brought me much joy...i'm so glad that there are still things so bad they're good and that i'm not too cynical to appreciate them. ;)

also, can i just say what's up with the German-bashing? it seems out of place when we're just commenting on a video. (btw i'm american living temporarily in Europe and have never heard anyone talking about the Hoff recently...) people around the world could also rip on us for a few of our obsessions, and as a few Germans here have pointed out, they were into him many years ago just like we were *all* into cheesy shit in the 80s... (remember parachute pants and waterfall bangs?) it just seems forced, like people can't think of anything funnier to say. it's like a comedian complaining about airline food: too obvious, tired, and in this case mostly outdated.

Move over Bob Dylan, the torch has been passed.

I just typed "Hasselhoff" into an online German-English translator, and you know what came up? "Hasselhoff". Not because there isn't a translation of some sort (I'm sure that there is), but, I believe, because the computer saw no need. Such is the extent of David's renown. "Hasselhoff" means "Hasselhoff"; wherever you go, don't bother with a dictionary or phrasebook - just uttering that magic word will win you new friends.

Even more interestingly, I split the word in two and tried again. "Hassel" drew a blank, I'm afraid. But "Hoff"? That's right, "Hope". So when we talk about "The Hoff", we are really talking about "The Hope" - the hope that David brings, by virtue of his music, to those unfortunates who have yet to experience those heavenly melodies, profound lyrics, and pulsating beats.

I agree with another reviewer who said (and I quote) "Some songs make you laugh, some make you cry, but it is a rare tune indeed that has you dancing and vomiting at the same time".

After reading some reviews in this forum I really understood the magnitude of the light and influence of the mighty Hasselhoff. He has changed the life of a variety of people around the world: old and young, men and women, cancer survivors and junkies, italian monks and iraqui insurgents, even the unforgeteable gay peruvian.
It's good to know that I'm not alone when I think It's amazing how a man can reach so many hearts and transform so many souls with his astonishing, yet sublime, voice, and the sincere charm of his fashion.
I can tell you this: It surely enhanced my life and yes, I have my own story to share, even though it may not be nearly as incredible as the ones I read.
My name is Ed Asno, and I'm an active member of The Richard Dean Anderson Fan Club; for those of you who dare not to know he is the man behind the superb MacGyver... my own personal TV GOD. (I used to be in the Geraldo Rivera Fan Club but I quit when I find out he had an affair with Bette Midler... but that is another story.)
Well, as you can imagine, with the kind of TV icons I just mentioned it's difficult for The Hoff to be the only master of the industry. For me he is on the Top 5 most influential men to ever touch the face of earth, but little did I know that it would become an unbeatable number 1. As you all come to realize, a true genius has the power to transcend other horizons like a shooting star in the sky. And oh boy, this is how I find it out how the "Knight Rider" did it:
Herbie, the president of the Fan Club, threw a party at his house to show us his new memorabilia collection: "TV's Little Men, Big Souls", dedicated to Paul Fusco, the man and mind behind ALF, and Gary Coleman, the charming and somehow cute Arnold in Different Strokes.
At 5pm all of us were wasted on a high of pop tarts and kool aid when Herbie decided to change our lives forever: He put his radio shack speakers to the ultimate test: The one and only Very Best of David Hasselhoff.
Well, my friends, I just can say that It blew me away!!! The songs, the rithyms, the melodies, the holy voice, the chest hair. All the party, and with "ALL" I mean ¡The four of us!, just got into an abstarct, almost hypnotic mode that I had never, ever, felt before. The air started to smell like roses, the lights went dim, and the rush, oh my gosh, the rush was like (and forget my french) an orgasm.
Since that day my mind hasn't stop repeating the celestial lyrics of the master piece, the opera prima, Hot Shot City:

"11 o'clock we are ready to rock,
11 o'clock yeah we are ready to rock!
Hot Shot City in a Saturday Night
We are gonna party down into the morning light!"

David Hassehoff may not be Richard Dean Anderson, Geraldo Rivera, not even Tony Danza, but he surely is the savior of the music industry, a man who truly dare to go where no other has gone.

Make you a favor: Buy this album and get ready to rock and roll!!!!

So, people, just listen: THIS IS NOT DEEP TO GERMANS AND HE DOES NOT APPEAL TO GERMANS.
Not to the majority at least.

I`M FROM GERMANY!!!

and the last time i`ve heart from david hasselhoff was 1996..in televison at BAYWATCH!!

NOBODY in germany is listening to his songs...maybe 15 years ago for 2 months..

but just david thinks that we like him..

he said,that he played this freedom song on the berliner mauer...
when he did that,he had been killed by sowjet soldiers...

so dont think german people like him...
I DONT KNOW ONE GERMAN!

(my english is bad..dafür kann ich deutsch! :P)

This is most wierd,I don´t think Hasselhoff is as popular in Germany as people seem to think in the US.I´m european(swedish)and Hasselhoff´s videos/music/TV-series are just pieces of cheesy 80´s memorabilia here too,something to have a good laugh at.No more,no less.
However,for some reason the page http://www.david-hasselhoff.com/,apparently german,seem to be pretty active...O_o
And for some reason,music that won´t sell anywhere else in Europe,WILL in most cases sell in Germany...like it does in Japan.I don´t know why,but it´s a fact.
It´s funny,Germany has produced some very good music groups,like Kraftwerk.But also incredibly cheesy ones,like Scooter=)

it's sad but true that there's a lot of crappy german music. our neweset bullshit-superband is called tokio hotel (www.tokiohotel.de take a look at these faggots) and it sucks hard.
however you mustn't think that all of us are listening to this bullshit. in fact the most don't and are just as surprised as you are about these bands having any succes.
and besides a few shitheads who actually like listening to D.H. (and i'm pretty sure these exist in other countrys as well) the most people here can just laugh or possibly vomit by seing this video...

Hahahahaha...that was soooo funny..lol I love it! I especially liked when he took the fish in his mouth muahahahaha genius!

Did you notice how,when he is standing on the boat in the Arctic,he nervously looks over his shoulder a couple of times? He acts as if he is worried that an Orca whale is going to jump out of the water and snatch him!

I love the Hoff. I want to suck his man boobies.

Wow... that song is touching. We should send him terrorist countries and have him hold concerts, that would bring them to their knees. Two words... Bril liant :) Hasselhoff... you da man! By the way... I love your mullet in the 80's.

David Hasselhoff is not popular in Germany.

i love this video with my whole heart and soul. like any great piece of art, you learn new things after each viewing

OMG! THIS TOPS THEM ALL, K-FED, KID-ROCK & SCOTT SCOTT. SHIT I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS IT. I FIGHT W/ MY HUSBAND ALL THE TIME TO STOP DRINKING SO MUCH PEPSI (HE DOES NOT LISTEN). I AM GOING TO PLAY THIS FOR HIM OVER & OVER, U KNOW LIKE SOME SORTA OF MIND PROBE. THIS IS YOUR BRAIN (PIC OF DH), THEN,THIS IS UR BRAIN ON DRUGS (WHAM, VIDEO COMES ON).

what the hell is this? OMG....scary

Well what more needs to be said. That video could very well be the funniest damn thing I have ever seen. GO DAVID. I can hardly wait to see what’s next. It can only get better from here. Yeah right “hooked” on a feeling.

Who directed this video- William Hung?

Overuse and repetition of disparate symbols coupled with a general lack of theme, poor production technique and an utter lack of intelligence in conception contributed to what can only be described as a work of genius.

We all laughed at Jackson Pollock too.

My sides hurt.

The video fails because it tries both to be a hip ironic self-parody, and to be something cool and fun the MTV brats will like. You can't be hip and ironic, and pander at the same time.

And most of all, it fails because David H. has a lovely voice but no style, so all he can do is make a very good copy of the BJ Thomas rendition of the song.

I was stationed in Germany for 3 years (technically I was there for 2 since I had to spend a crappy year in Iraq), and never once heard a David Hasselhoff song on the radio. Thank God. It's a beautiful country, though!

Okay, so flying in the air on a motorcycle while only holding onto the handlebars, dancing in the north in a bear skinned coat, dresses as a little German boy in the alps, flapping his arms with a flock or birds, and emphasizing "hooked on a feeling" with that fist...wow...he's cool. Who was that guy with the goggles?

i can't believe he's known for his 'singing' in germany...http://hollywoodsnark.com

help me god...
what da fcuk is that?!
