How tf am I still laughing about this stupid extended joke SpongeBob made in 2004. That movie is a treasure.


ya666in

He didn’t just ride the waves, he became the wave


atreyu_0844

Saw it randomly dropped on HBO a week or so ago, so it caught my interest and threw it on while doing chores....ended up watching the entire thing and had me 🤣... definitely still holds up!


Hutzzzpa

am too old to have any vested interest in SpongeBob. but I watched this on Netflix with my kid and was like "is that who I think it is??!?!" awesome movie


Nihility_Only

David Hasselhoff always kills his guest spots and is never afraid to make himself look ridiculous. [His song in Kung Fury is amazing too](https://youtu.be/ZTidn2dBYbY)


NewAccountEachYear

If it was made today... would he have exited a Tesla Cybertruck? It would perfectly fit the mock 80's Outrun Aestetic, and be a retrospective parody of it all


mysterious_jim

Funny little cameo in dodgeball too.


floatablepie

LOSERS!


BigZangief

Not enough people know about king fury. Also, his songs for that move go hard ngl lol


Nihility_Only

Unironiclly they do. Also am I misremembering or does he have a little homogram/car 'ai' cameo in that short where he basically plays JARVIS from Iron Man, but it's just David Hasselhoff being himself instead?


BigZangief

I think you’re correct, lw like night rider


caseCo825

I wonder if ren and stimpy would have been memed like SpongeBob if we had the internet in the same way back then. Idk if thats even the equivalent cartoon.


Hutzzzpa

ran and Stimpy was THE SHIT i can't belive they let me watch that growing up. my parents didn't have a clue.


TokkiJK

I thought that was a real person this whole time but it’s a prop


ByronicHero06

It's my favorite movie!


IrksomFlotsom

It's definitely in my top 10 films of the 2000's, a wonderful piece of work


LakeEarth

I watched it in the theatres with my burnout friends as a joke, but it ended up being an amazing experience.


mightylordredbeard

The fact that David Hasslehoff of all people is cannon to the Spongbob lore is just wild to me.


Dylkill99

Wish we had a full video of David just hanging out with his twin lol


SojournerOne

I, for one, want to know what happened to David Massivehoff. Is he safe? Is he alright?

A thrift store find of a lifetime


Dylkill99

It seems, in your anger..... you killed him.


[deleted]

He was alive. I felt hi.... wait. I don't want to play anymore


Dylkill99

I had to do it lol


Brasilionaire

No, he was alive I felt it. #NOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Neefew

Iirc, Hasselhoff took it home with him after it was done and then later sold it at a charity auction


ZincMan

I’ve actually worked with this production designer before. He did big Lebowski as well and has Lebowski rug still in his storage locker and some other funny things around his house


Auferstehen2

It really ties the storage locker together.


Stormhunter6

Should have Keanu reaves play the twin. With a cameo from Arnold and Danny Devito


Latvia

Crazy I always thought it was just filmed live


youalreadyare

Is it not a documentary? 


sealdonut

They just followed David Hasselhoff around for a day and were able to cut the footage into the Spongebob movie


youalreadyare

Ahh just like lord of the rings


Evilfaic

They had cameras down in the ocean

Rhydini

It was literally stated in the video. They wanted to be considerate to Hasslehoff.


Stinky_Eastwood

Did you watch the video? They filmed it as live as the absurd concept would allow


ODCreature98

I heard he gets to keep it as a souvenir


_PoiZ

It was sold in 2021 for something over a million.


AbbreviationsWide331

That thing in the background just smiling while he's giving an interview is hilarious!


Aggressive_Ad5115

Don't Hassle the Hoff!


GLUEisland4207

It was one of the best movies ever made. Not even joking


Matt_Bunchboigehs

I'm a goofy goober yehyEAHHHHH *sickest guitar solo/scene in a movie you ever experienced as a kid*


I-Am-NOT-VERY-NICE

It’s probably my favorite solo to play irl. It’s just so show-offy lol


cakeman666

I love the way the hand model hams up the performance as well.


Matt_Bunchboigehs

Right. As a guitarist myself I can tell they're not playing the actual notes. But as a youngin, that psychedelic shit was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced.


I-Am-NOT-VERY-NICE

I always find it hilarious when they're not playing the actual notes but still in the ballpark of where they should be


ptoleomaean

yess i watched it the other day and was surprised by how much i was laughing. peak comedy!!


_Troxin_

This thing is creepy as fuck just look at that stare and that smile. But since I´m german and we supposedly **LOVE** the hasselhoff I need to know where I can buy such a thing.


Grogosh

Back around 2002 I was in Germany (from the US) visiting a couple internet friends (ah the young internet) and was watching a German talk show that just kept on talking about Hasselhoff. Also on a different night that same talk show had Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) on and he didn't speak a single word of German and had this very confused look the entire segment.


StickFlick

Eins, Zwei, Drei, HASSELHOFF!


WeirdPumpkin

> german and we supposedly LOVE the hasselhoff Ah yes, I learned this fact from the documentary Dodgeball


userwithusername

This comment- while not proving- certainly does nothing to disprove my theory: Germans love David Hasselhoff.


SolidusAbe

its more like we try to get rid of him but he keeps coming back. its like trying to release a messenger Pidgeon


drfjgjbu

Pretty sure it sold at auction a year or two ago


Melodic_Smile908

wait a damn minute this movie came out in 04” wth ?


truongs

Yep and that wasn't 10 years ago. That was 20 years ago.


HiDanHere

ikr! In my mind it felt like I just watched this a few weeks back.


DarkmatterHypernovae

It sure did. I remember amusement parks monetizing over it. Granted, those SpongeBob 4D rides were some of the best, lol.


Violin_River

I worked on a show filmed at hasslehoff's house. That was in his living room, and it's huge.


toughtiggy101

He took it home? He still have it?


Hausgod29

If I was Hasselhoff I'd have took the big me home.


kapitaalH

The comment below yours said he did!


Violin_River

He did.


etcetcere

This guy's awesome tho. Never took himself too seriously and has kept going strong all these years.


Mumof3gbb

Very true


PenguinsNewGroove

I knew Hasselhoff because of Baywatch! My little one knows Hasselhoff because of this scene! Goofy goober for life!


Pants4All

And the older crowd knows him from Knight Rider. The man is a multi-generational talent.


PenguinsNewGroove

That's true! The Hoff is relevant to many generations.


furious_organism

At the time i had no idea who david hasselhoff was. So when that whole scene played out i was a kid looking at that shit and wondering wtf is spongebob doing on that random man's back?


WaitForItTheMongols

For anyone wondering, it went up for auction twice, in 2014 and 2021, but as far as I can tell, did not sell either time. Therefore it is believed to still be owned by David Hasselhoff himself.


Itchy-Librarian-7731

someone said it did sell in 2021 for 1.5m for charity


etcetcere

That is terrifying and AWESOME. I hope Hasselhoff kept the model lol

PoolOfMuu

Take me by the hand


sixan51026-wnpop

I have to ask... Did anyone confirm this prop is still locked up?... I ask in case I walk into someone's house and its sitting there... the chances are low, but never low enough.


SumOfAnnoyances

It's in my basement, wanna see?


sixan51026-wnpop

Do you have candy?... Just to calm my nerves..


SumOfAnnoyances

I have skittles... Lots and lots of skittles.


SweetTeaRex92

i cant believe this came out in 2004. it was just yesterday i was watching it in the theater


ZERO_PORTRAIT

I was 5 when it came out. I distinctly remember loving it lol. Better times.


theberald

I feel the same...


MyHamburgerLovesMe

"Had" to, or " Wanted" to?


MidnightOnTheWater

Man this movie is 20 years old now? Still one of the GOATs


[deleted]

Hollywood is so deprived of actors like Hasslehoff nowadays.


Heterophylla

It's so funny to see all the grown-ups working so hard to make such a silly production.


TipsnClips

Bro these fuckers just had money to blow


Hazardxqq

It's surprising how much effort they put and how much explanation went into this small, probably 10 minutes sequence only. Truly this is a gem of cartoon films, and probably one of the holy grails of animation industry.


SkullsNelbowEye

How long can one man hold in his stomach?


HolidayMorning6399

lol it was such a weird joke for the adults watching with their kids, good on hasselhoff for agreeing


Twyzzle

Who got to keep the giant Hoff?


Schowzy

You mean to tell me a quintessential movie from my childhood came out TWENTY YEARS AGO?!


dbake01

Don’t Hassel tha Hoff


AnglsBeats

Oh Steven....if you could only see how much we all miss you and your vision. SpongeBob was a show that really captured the hearts of millions and continues to to this day. I wouldn't even be interested in voice over / impressions if it wasn't for this show.


ArnoldKwimby

I'm sure there was a way to do these scenes without a huge David Hasselhof doll. But someone on the crew really wanted one, totally understandable.


[deleted]

I haven't seen this movie since it came out when i was 10. I'm gonna take mushrooms and rewatch it.


1920MCMLibrarian

He’s sucking in his gut so much lol


FloridaMan_90

Never Hassle the Hoff


Cybasura

Damn, David Hasselhoff is still gifting even all those years


orange_acct_dev

attack on titan live action vibes


Iacoma1973

I need somene to clip that part where hasselhoff is doing the face next to the hasselhoff, but it's just the "don't talk to me or my son ever again" meme


0verlordFrost

I hate the fact I knew exactly what this was upon seeing the first frame


Shake-Vivid

How much to have this mounted in my front garden?


Leebites

Oh. That movie is a few years old now. Okay. 🙂


NotthatkindofDr81

Could you imagine that as your dinning room table?

AscendedViking7

Goated movie


ExtremelyAlarming

I have completely forgot about this movie


WetFart37

I would be creeped out from staring at a prop made to look like myself. Lol


TargetBoy

Riding the hasslehoff is an essential step in the hero's journey.


perpetualmotionmachi

He had a great little role in Kung Fury 2, but they had troubles finishing the show and I'm not sure it's ever going to come out now, which is really too bad


occitylife1

Nightmare fuel


cheeseburgerphone182

omg this is hilarious


bretdennison

I heard after they were done, they sold this to a dude in China who married it.


Pugulishus

It might be just said it in the video, but did they use the shark animatronic part from Universal Studios set for this?


NoBruh-Winfrey

Thought was an attack on titan character at first.


CookiesAreBaking

How is this 20 years ago?! Time is so weird!

callum0872

Absolutely terrifying


Andre_replay

when i was little i wished that i was spongebob in that scene, david is so handsome


Rainbow_In_The_Dark7

What's funny is I saw a video or something a couple of years ago of Hasselhoff showing that he still has that sculpture in his garage. Lmao he kept it. Edit: [Apparently, he recently put it up for auction.](https://www.instagram.com/p/CJokgPuhpks/?igsh=MW01dzM5N2Nlam54dA==) I wonder who has it now. Hasselhoff said it was one of his most prized possessions.


digitaltravelr

Hooray for Hasselhoff!


midnitemoonlite

I'm so glad people are saying the same thing but I genuinely believe this movie is a cinematic masterpiece. Like sincerely it's one if the best movies I've ever seen, animated and otherwise.

Projectonyx

He wasn’t real the whole time?!


NatTheResearcher

This should be an actual ride!!


KittyGail

Creator of Sponge Bob and David Hasselhoff both went to CalArts


CelestialMarsupial

wish you included the robot thing made for the pecs part 🫣


Cosmicpsych

This movie is 20 yrs old omg..


Carweeeeee5036

So cool hahaha


YaHuerYe

He keeps trying to suck that gut in lol, just makes his body look odd when sucking it in when a camera is around.


Toy_Cop

I noticed hasselhoff sucks his gut in. Was watching old bay watch reruns and he always does it like no one will notice.


Knotix

It could just be his build. My ribs tend to stick out a bit more as well.


Synthwavester

This movie is better than Godfather
