The Hoff
Posted on October 5, 2005 @ 11:41 am
If there was one cultural force in this world powerful enough to draw me back from my blogging hiatus, it’s the pristine majesty that is one David Michael Hasselhoff. That being said, while strolling through Target last night, I decided to check out the Halloween section. As I browsed the costumes (slutty pirate…slutty vampire…slutty nurse…slutty nun), one caught my eye. Could it be? Surely not! Wait — yes, it is. Target is selling a David Hasselhoff Halloween costume.
OMG!
Well, actually, it’s a Knight Rider costume, but you and I both know it’s a David Hasselhoff costume. It even includes a David Hasselhoff wig!
Check out these photos from eBay. Now, I just need someone to invite me to a Halloween party so I can metamorphosize into a near duplicate of Germany’s most popular recording artist.
Speaking of the D-Hoff, Justin recently brought this bit of news to my attention. Ice-T is producing the Hassel-to-the-Hoff’s first hip-hop album? I’m so there.

Surely you meant to say “slutty Hasselhoff”?
There’s a Hoff jokes subculture where I work.
I think that Hasselhoff rap article I sent you might have been a fake, but I can’t find a link to confirm. Sorry!
But does the costume come complete with a KIT? Because other wise you’re just a dork with a bad wig. Well, not you you. I mean the general you. Or something like that.
I can’t believe I missed that auction! If only I could have purchased it, that would have been my standard costume FOREVER! Although I do pity the guy who had to pose for the picture wearing it.
In the end, which slut are you going as?
True confession time. When I was in college, I worked at Knott’s Berry Farm (a Southern California amusement park).
One day in 1982 or so, they had a parade featuring David Hasselhoff and his Knight Rider car. A group of us were standing behind the Cloud Nine Ballroom and Hasselhoff drove by waving at a crowd of maybe 100 tourists who really weren’t sure who or what he was.
Then, one of the guys reached into the nearby dumpster and pulled out a rotten tomato. You guessed it…the now famous K.I.T.T. car was soon covered with tomatoes thrown by a rowdy group of young college punks.
When security stormed in, they asked us if we had observed someone throwing tomatoes. “Nope. We just got here.”
Hasselhoff and Ice-T? Hoax/joke.
Sorry.
Jesus Christ, this Hassel-the-Hoff thing just won’t die, will it? It’s old news, from last year (Ananova really needs to date their items), and it was never true, anyway.
