About

A short video clip that became popular during the pre-youtube era of a guy who fails while auditioning for a role in a martial-arts movie but earns an A+ for effort.

From Waxy:


“Mark Allen Hicks, a stunt man auditioning for a Nike commercial with Allen Iverson and Jim Kelly. Edward works with people who know Mark, and one friend saw him come out of the audition ‘pissed off with a bloody nose.’”

Subsequent interview with Mark Hicks by Wired.

Don’t forget that he also appears in Weezer’s “Pork & Beans” video, recreating his audition tape, and then later seen kicking some ninja ass!

I saw this before KYM. And when I first saw Yatta, I thought it was afro ninja for a split second!

It is noticeable that Afro-ninja is the only meme that doesn’t get killed in Douth park.
