The Hoff addiction is reaching breaking point.
Oh God.
I got pretty excited when the latest swell of Hof obsession took off a few months back. It was, and still is, hilarious. I wrote an article at the time outlining what I felt the reason was for the uprising. It was something to do with David Hasselhof being a living 80's relic. The retro-ness of it. Retro is cool. But retro is only cool because it's quite funny. There are some beautiful pieces of furniture and fashion from the 80's which can't help themselves but to amuse. You always smile when you see a cool piece of retro. The more retro the piece, the funnier it can get. A living, eating, sleeping, talking, human-being-form retro piece has to be the funniest thing. As people out there blend the Hoff's image into adverts and movie posters (Ferris Bueller's day ‘Hoff’), a few shit ones are released, thus bringing the overall quality down. Hoff hilarities need to be good, very good.
And so we've reached the point where we're bored. Even if the good ones come along, we're getting bored. So, because a number of readers are writing in asking for more Hoff, I will give you a whole stack. And then we'll give it a little rest for now, I think.
And so say all of us.
So, here is a stack of Hoff for you. (2oceansvibe stash)
Now the following link is no longer working, but was a website with stacks of The Hoff. It might start working again. Who knows.
And here, is even more (external stash)
DON'T SEND ANY MORE - WE STILL LOVE THE HOFF
BUT WE ARE OVER IT.
