When it comes to Dooshbags- David Hasselhoff is the king of Doucheland- an actual city in Germany where he reigns as King. I say this first hand a couple of times. One time in particular was at TAO- a cheesy clubish Pan Asian fusion type establishment in Midtown. At the time I was dating this girl that had distant relatives in town visiting from Germany and the guy, Ralph- his name was- spotted Hasselhoff at the table behind me and flipped out. Not really a big deal, but this was like two minutes after he tried to get Michael Jordan’s autograph- which wasn’t Jordan at all, but instead- just a random black guy that had little resemblance to Jordan at all other than the fact that he was bald and tall. Never the less- I did have a nice chuckle to myself as this guy asked the man for his autograph. I then made eye contact with the Jordan- ‘not at all’ look alike- making the “I don’t know- what the fuck connection?” as we both laughed. Then Ralph thought he spotted Hasselhoff. I assured him that it was- as I did with Michael Jordan and then asked them why they like David Hasselhoff so much, because he sucks.
Anyway- I wound up getting into it with a couple of Germans over this very topic several months prior at a bar in hells kitchen. Cut to the chase- I asked them why ‘they’ (Germans) like David Hasselhoff so much- in general. They denied it. I told them that most Germans do- though. Hasselhoff was there when the Wall came down. They said that they didn’t like him- so I’m like yeah I know you guys do and he fucking sucks! They were like no dude- we don’t really give a shit about that guy at all.
Then I noticed the one German guy had a giant Mickey Mouse on the back of his denim jacket. So I’m like, “Ha Ha- you have Mickey Mouse on the back of your jacket! Ha ha – what are you like five?” Then I asked him if he was a foreign exchange student and told them about this foreign exchange student my buddy Danny at his house for an entire summer in Buffalo. His name was Thurston, but we called him Thirsty. I then started telling them how hard Thirsty sucked at basketball and how funny he looked dribbling the ball with both hands in his magnum PI shorts. God bless that- the goofy bastard. He spent most of the time in the house glued to the TV- in his glory. To be nice- we rented him all different kinds of videos- like nightrider, bay watch and the Muppets. We also gave him ice cream on occasion. Then I’m like- “dude you guys love David Hasselhoff- that is so gay!” Ha ha.
Then my brother came back he wound up getting into it as well. Both my brother and I took German in school for a while and went over there for a few weeks. My brother taught himself how to speak with a funny little German accent. So I’m like, “Bri these guys! Hey do your German accent- say sailboat!” so he’s like, “sahh- boat.” That’s fucking hilarious by the way. So I’m like pissing myself as my brother is whispering “sah boat- to them over and over again. Then I got hit. So to make a short story long- we wound up getting in this big fight.
As I’m telling this- I noticed everyone else in my party was getting a little weirded out.
I eventually turned around- and it was indeed David Hasselhoff- gesticulating like an obnoxious idiot. Other than that- I don’t know much about David Hasselhoff- other than that the fact that he sucks and eats hamburgers on the floor.
Anyway- back to that chink- I mean chick I was dating. This one time she had her relatives in for a visit from Germany. That were really nice- and we wound up hanging out with them for an entire weekend. The guy Ralph- walked around freely in his burgundy colored tighty whiteys- which was a little strange, but all in all- they were really nice people. One of the nights on their visit- we took them to TAO and out of the clear blue- Ralphs face lit up in astonishment as he thought he saw Michael Jordan. He goes, “ Hey vas dat un guy over there Michael Jordan? I looked over and it was really just some tall black guy that looked absolutely nothing like Michael Jordan at all. Then a few minutes later his eyes lit up again and he asked me if another guy was David Hasselhoff. So, I said “Yes Ralph- that is David Hasselhoff.” He couldn’t believe it. I never saw somebody appear so astonished or regard another human being with such laconic type status. I’m sure this was the high point of Ralph’s life.
I then asked the couple why German’s love David Hasselhoff so much in general. He said that they don’t. I told them that I knew that already, but most do and then proceeded to go into this story about these Germans I met one time in Hells kitchen that didn’t like David Hasselhoff.
