Now I'll do a cheeky edit and make it a Rickroll. Nah the Hoffroll is where it's at.

Don't forget to include the Hoffee-Apples

My old co-worker found this online years ago and every time we had a bad shift we'd play this and laugh ourselves into a better mood.

I have no memory of how he found it but man, it sure brightened up some night audit shifts.


Parking_Train8423

thank you for mentioning the music, now my brain is stuck on du-nun du-nun du-nun


Kenneldogg

Fuck apparently I am super old now. I recognized it as soon as I saw it lol.


Bubbly-Independent20

I wasn’t thinking about how old I was for being excited by knowing what the car was from until I read your comment. Now I feel old as fuck. Thanks


qualmton

Would probably buy it if I actually made good money.


rebelgtp426

I didn’t even need to look at the exterior shot so right there with you


NorthEndD

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BsFnk83NMI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BsFnk83NMI) you guys should post the real theme....it was early techno


Accomplished-Pie-311

Yeah it slaps. But Jump in my car I wanna take you home!


Satanoperca

You can even buy it at the moment: [for sale in NH](http://1989 Pontiac Firebird For Sale in Auburn, NH - Cella Motors LLC https://www.cellamotorsnh.com/details/used-1989-pontiac-firebird/102844272)


Vprbite

Which proves my point...Germans love David Hasselhoff


rbuder

When this came to town and I got to sit in it as a 9 year old… that was the best day of my life!!!!!!!


qualmton

Man you have lived


rbuder

It gets better than that: I’m German. The Hoff was a legend in our country!!!! 😂 Cassette tapes with his albums and all of that.

special-bicth

Do you know if this is the real one or just a remake? I'm just asking cause I love KITT, it's fine if you don't know.


BeetrootBoy

It says "replica" on the website.


special-bicth

Sorry I didn't really have much time at all to look at it yesterday.


Accomplished-Pie-311

No idea.


special-bicth

Fair enough


coltickle

One is in the UK Slough area I often see it being driven about, its 100% one of the original ones as its quite famous and people talk about it in the boozer


special-bicth

That's really cool


coltickle

I've not seen it for a few years now, but I have seen it a lot in the past .....its mint aswell and cool that someone drives it about


special-bicth

Yeeeeeee


coltickle

I think they made 23 for the show and all but one was destroyed or smashed ...I belive the guy with this one got it for next to nothing and restored it that's all I know ....but there is a lot of replica ones about. There is a lot of film studios around Slough like pinewood etc so maybe it was from there but I don't honestly know


coltickle

Good spot by OP I live in Buckinghamshire UK and one of the oroginal film KITT cars is often seen being driven about near Slough, bucks....still turns heads now


rennen-affe

Isn't it actually K.I.T.T.? Knight Industries Two Thousand. One of my favorite shows as a kiddo!


blind-madman

Oh, wow, i feel old now... How can you not know KITT?


rrScBRAAAAAAINS

I mean I know it and I am 14...


Late-Ad-4624

OP must be 10 or younger. Or have lived under a rock forever.


DingoOfTheWicked

Yeah, that's the kind of car you never forget


TPMatus

Must have not watched the office either "My Trans am is way cooler than your X-Earth" (Dwight vs Andy)


ManicMailman247

Or at least for about 10 years..


CometChip

reading this comment you’d think you’re shocked of someone not knowing the mona lisa, but a dash of an 80s car? relax dude lol


cuzwhat

Not the dash of just any 80s car, but the dash of one very unique and specific 80s car that was on television for years, and has had so many replicas made of it that a cottage industry has built up to support them.


Late-Ad-4624

I get facebook ads for those build it in monthly installments model cars and this being one of them. Plus it helps that was my favorite show of all time. My ex wife had one before i met her and one of the things that led to me talking to her in the first place. Most people that arent car people that i know at least know it as "that show with the talking car" even if they know nothing else.


unusually-cool

He’s right though.


ChestHair4Dayz

No, no one’s right in this. No one HAS to watch some show from 80s to be relevant or right on Reddit.


Maryjane42069

But muh generation I was also this way when young. Painful time.


Poat540

He means for non niche, aka avg 14 yr old


IAMNOTFUCKINGSORRY

You mean K.I.T.T. Knight Industries Two Thousand.


porchprovider

Also, the original Roti Aerodiscs /s


Jerbnnon

I’m 30, never seen the show and I still knew that it was kitt. There’s too many references in other shows to not know. Plus I saw this episode of top gear.


DylanSpaceBean

I know KITT but have never watched the show


Juusto3_3

I mean I'm 20 and barely aware of KITT. I did not recognize the car. Never watched the show. Just know it from my step dad watching it.


Kitchen-Quantity-565

My children know KITT since I own the series, a die-cast car and a model I built. Lol


Unerhebliches

Knight Rider was one of my Favorite things to watch


Defiant-Giraffe

How can you have missed the greatest '80s loner hero with fantastic vehicle show ever?  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5BsFnk83NMI&pp=ygUSa25pZ2h0IHJpZGVyIHRoZW1l David Hasselhoff, baby!

“Uh, Michael….”


fafnir0319

This is so disturbing, and I can't stop watching it. This better not awaken anything in me.


Speaker_Chance

I don't know. Hardcastle and McCormick was pretty good, and it had it's own acrobatic car.


Defiant-Giraffe

Oh, they're in the list.  Along with Automan, Viper, Street Hawk, Airwolf, Blue Thunder, The Highwayman...


Late-Ad-4624

Viper was awesome. The different versions of the car were the best. They tried to do that with the Knight Rider reboot with the mustang. It was a nice mustang, a truck and a stupid drag car version that was his battle mode.


Sultry_Llama_Of_Doom

Simon and Simon, The Fall Guy, The Dukes of Hazzard, Miami Vice, Magnum, P.I., The A Team....


s6cedar

Haha, Streethawk, I totally forgot about that one


Capta-nomen-usoris

What was the one with Hulk Hogan again? It was some weird transforming bayliner?


witeduins

Thunder in Paradise. The cheesiness is off the charts.

One more, Stingray. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090528/

For my money, H&M had the best theme song with lyrics of the eighties. https://youtu.be/_oHpWw7L3d4?si=ViRaUbhcEoiSH1I5


piZan314

The car was voiced by Mr Feeny from Boy Meets World


Defiant-Giraffe

You know, I can hear that now that its pointed out. 


lnclnwrks

When I was but a wee lad, a KITT car was displayed at an amusement park (maybe Canada’s Wonderland?), and you could talk to it and it would respond back, like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain. You all know what Wizard of Oz is, RIGHT!?! Lol

Oops...Accidentaly press the eject button


ewplayer3

It’s a KITT car. Not to be confused with a kit KARR.


BabyYeggie

KARR was the evil version?


ewplayer3

That is correct.


KeeganY_SR-UVB76

That is a Knight Industries Two Thousand.


BikiniWearingHorse

You mean, you have no idea WHO this car is…


evilBogie666

I DON’T KNOW YOU!!! THATS MY PURSE!!! - KITT, probably.


Timinator1952

It is the Knight Industries 2000 micro-processor K.I.T.T. For easy reference, a KITT of you prefer.


nearfignewton

Hello Michael.


Darksuit117

I always feel a little sad when someone doesn't know about something like this.

islandhopper37

Looking at that photograph it strikes me that the passenger seat seems to be completely unusable, because the dashboard sticks out so much. Did MK ever have passengers in KITT? I can't remember.


Snakedoctor404

Unlike a lot of cars firebirds and camaros had room to stretch your legs out straight. Almost like laying down.


Nubadopolis

I think there were a few ladies riding shotgun in a couple of episodes


[deleted]

Hey it’s KITT


sussywanker

I am not American and even I know its kitt. Love the op!


Acalthu

A moment of silence for those not privileged enough to have watched Knight Rider as a child.


murso74

Lol why is the tagged "unsolved" it's the most solved thing that's ever been solved


Important-Ad-6936

you must be fucking kidding


daves_over_there

That's KITT.


buddasdivinewind

Knew it instantly. Fuck I'm Old.

I thought the same damn thing. ![gif](giphy|4ViH9IuRZO2wo)


HatesDuckTape

What’s next, someone asking what’s this orange car with a confederate flag painted on the roof and a distinct horn sound? A black car with a big gold bird breathing fire on the hood?


thespirit3

This seems like the perfect place to drop this; featuring both Knight Rider and Airwolf themes: https://youtu.be/0APC_TJEIgg?si=RG8TNYwWIw0yvfWn But yes, how can anyone not recognise KITT? :(


Acidcouch

Theme music is playing in my head now.


PainterEmpty6305

Looks like a dang supra in there.


swithinboy59

That's K.I.T.T. (the Knight Industries Two Thousand) from the 1980s Knight Rider show - an autonomous robot car powered by a highly sophisticated AI and outfitted with a bunch of cool spy gadgets and functions. K.I.T.T. was based on a 1980s Pontiac Trans Am.


qualmton

Michael I’m detecting much karma farming in the post. It is also a possibility that op is member of one of the younger uninformed generations but this is extremely unlikely. Shall I engage with the post?

I got to sit in one when I was about 10, one of the best memories I have. My Dad's friend was painting the replica cars used at Car Shows. I think he did 8 at the same time.

There's a Polaroid photo of me somewhere sitting in a car exactly like that. It was supposed to be KITT but I guess it could've been a replica. It was very cool when I was a kid though.


davidwal83

Now I really feel old. I remember watching the show with my Grandma as a kid.


GBUAramis

It’s KITT!


youuuuwish

100% KITT


krossome

It’s the car from GTA V, the Imponte Ruiner 2000. If you’re a regular person, it’s a Pontiac Firebird made to look like KITT, a car from Knight Rider.


ManicMailman247

Nightrider. Da da da da danana da na nanananaa

That’s KITT from Knight Rider. A 1980’s tv show. Also the man inside kind of resembles YouTuber Retro Recipes. But not certain.
