Exhibit A for you believers:
Proof positive that there is no God.
That’s right – read it and weep. |
I remember seeing the TV movie of the new Knight Rider and the feeling of disorientation that came with it. That’s because it didn’t totally suck-ass like I expected. I couldn’t have been more disappointed. I continue to watch the old 80s series precisely because it does suck so bad! The original Knight Rider is hilarious, and I really think Mike and his pals should do a Rifftrax on it. (The Film Crew? Mystery Science Theater 3000? Hello!) Still, if the first episode is decent, you naturally expect the remaining episodes to get better. So I just had to watch the new Knight Rider when it aired a week or two ago.
How was it?
“One d-bag CAN make a
difference, Michael!” |
Let me put it this way. The TV movie disappointed me for being pretty decent. But the first episode of the new series met all my original expectations. Oh yes … it was truly awful. Hilariously awful. So go watch it quick! Before NBC cancels this turd. Trust me, your sides will split with laughter and then — once NBC releases the series to DVD in a month or two — you’ll be ready to post your own riff of the entire series. You’ll be famous. All thanks to NBC.
Note that I thought I was Knight Rider once … but then, like all my dreams, it was crushed by the sting of cruel reality. Not to mention the fact that my feet aren’t round or made of rubber.
Here’s a little bit more in the way of visual details to honor the old series:
Here, David Hasselhoff gives
us the wrong finger. Hover
your mouse over the image
for an “even better” joke. |
Garth Knight created the
Matrix?! |
Here we see Michael trying to
put his Geico car insurance to
the test. Meanwhile, KITT begs
for his life. |
The Hoff with hair on his chest?
Man, those 80s special effects
really hold up. |
So go watch Knight Rider. Maybe they’ll have a KITT vs KARR episode or bring a zombified Garth Knight back from the dead. Or maybe the old KITT will return to teach the new one how to be a proper smart ass. Ah, dare to dream…
