"He's big in Germany."

It seems like his reputation in the US didn't amount to much.

I only ever heard of him from the wave of jokes about him that swept through pop culture for 15 minutes however many years ago.

You guys never watched Baywatch?
As seen on Friends, Joey & Chandler watching the girls running along the beach. The Hof was head lifeguard.

Don't forget the car that talked.

Yes. I watched it. Yes, I did know that. I was trying to forget it. Painful.

Friends was no better. A show about a group of young narcissists, living a life they clearly not only could not afford, but didn't- that aspect of the narrative was like a fictional black hole.

The Hawaiian guy Jason what's his name was much better in the role.

And that version was just as dumb.
