The Fall of Europe

Apparently this video has been out in the net ether for years, but it had never landed on my desktop until tonight, sent by a relative with a penchant for poking fun, a la Monty Python, at Europeans. I’m still pretty speechless. Maybe this is what Rumsfeld meant by “Old Europe”, and what Fukuyama promised when he opined on the end of history and the “Last man”. They were the inheritors and progenitors of western civilisation. They colonised the world, explored every coast, instructed revolution, and suffered war upon war so that he, the mighty Techno Viking, could dance and be surrounded by his comrades. Give this man some cavalry and a daschund and he’ll be across the Maginot by nightfall.

PS. The skinhead waterboy at 1:18 is better than Kraftwerk.

Random extra: what would Kenneth Clark say?

  1. Yo, the guy wearing the camo at the beginning doing the dance we all did in grade six is the best. I love people who wear camo – it’s like you can’t see them!!!

    I have seen this pop up before, and will be sending my proxy vote for Governor of California 2012…. Techno Viking!! Though he may be over qualified …

  2. This video has been on various mma sites before, along with a hoax that it is Keith Jardine dancing.

  3. Techno Viking doesn’t dance to the music, the music dances to Techno Viking
