He was a big personality.Quote from: "Bricktop"
Perhaps similar as to how David Hasselhoff and his shitty music is somehow hugely popular with the German population, for reasons that cannot be fully explained.

Those commercials ran from the late 1980's to the early 1990's, so one doesn't have to be that old to remember them...Quote from: "Angry White Male"
I was born in 84. I moved to Canada in 93. They are old to me.

Back when men were real men, and not sissy faggots! We had better role models then.

Mad Max
Men At Work-- early 80s pop tunes, not bad
Paul Hogan as Crocodile Dundee, fun movies
Some movie with Meryl Streep, all I remember was that line "A dingo ate my baby"
Yahoo Serious--this was a fail
The Crocodile Hunter-- Steve Irwin RIP- what a crazy ass, I enjoyed watching him mess with dangerous animals, unfortunately it was his undoing
