Question

Do Germans really love David Hasselhoff?

Answer 1

they neither love nor hate him.

he had a number one hit 21 years ago so one can't deny he was popular back then in germany, but 21 years is a lot of time.

as a german, most of the time you hear about hasselhoff is when an anglo saxonian (usa,british,etc) try to banter you about him. in the end it seems as if anglo saxonians love him more than germans do, cause they are able to make fun of the germans with him, thats all.

but hey, aren't we all looking for freedom? da da da dada dadaaaaaaaa
