Hasselhoff + Popsicle = Hoffsicle
06.08.11
It’s National Ice Cream Week, which means I finally don’t have to feel bad about the half dozen empty Ben & Jerry’s cartons littered around my couch. It also provides the occasion for Del Monte to roll out the Hoffsicle, a raspberry-
flavored treat molded to look like David Hasselhoff. The former “Baywatch” and “Knight Rider” star tweeted the inset photo, and the Sun made a news story out of a press release:
[Britain's Got Talent] judge David Hasselhoff shows he’s got stardom licked – after being turned into an ice lolly.
The ex-Baywatch star – named smoothest TV star of 2011 in a poll – was honoured by ice cream company Del Monte with a Raspberry Iced Smoothie.
Ex-Knight Rider star David, 58, said: “The new Hoffsicle ice lolly rocks. Like me, it might take a licking but it keeps on ticking.” [The Sun]
First of all, he didn’t call it an “ice lolly” because that’s the gayest-sounding British term of all time. Second of all, the Hoffsicle does NOT take a licking and keep on ticking. It doesn’t tick at all. You lick it and it gets consumed. That’s kind of the whole point of popsicles.
Video below: Hasselhoff wanders around London and tries to get women to lick him.

Ok, but is it insanely popular in Germany yet?
awww, are you upset, matt? is it because we get the hoff to drunkenly gaze in the general direction of terrible “talent” acts, only to then put every one of them thru to the next round because he can’t remember how terrible they were, but YOOOOOU get the human manifestation of herpes that is piers – i secrete my own oils – morgan, to be a slimy condescending dick on your version of the show? is it?
Barrel chested chicken legged
Hasn’t anyone worried what might happen if The Hoff eats The Hoff? Isn’t that like dividing by zero or crossing the streams? It could end all life as we know it! Great Scott Marty!!!!
Nevermind, Hivemind, I answered my own question. Both were performed by the lead singer of Survivor, just not the same lead singer of Survivor. The Baywatch theme was Jimi Jamison, the BUD commercials were Dave Bickler.
…The More You Know™
“Hoffsicle” > “PopHoff”
Semi-serious question: they played the (awesome) Baywatch theme at the end of the video; is the singer the same guy who did the “Real man of Genius” ads for Budweiser?
I know Bud hired a washed-up 80s rock star for the ads, I just can’t tell if it’s the same washed-up 80s rock star.

Oh David, you’re such a pussy.
I smell a Bros Icing Bros spinoff.
It’s impressive that another term can steal the GSBTOAT award from “spotted dick”, but here we are.
“he didn’t call it an “ice lolly” because that’s the gayest-sounding British term of all time.”
I thought “fag” was the gayest sounding British term of all time.
They should sell this from TV-themed food trucks… Perhaps Flambee Watch?
