About

The Technoviking was made famous due to a video of a blue-haired girl dancing, then being crashed into by some unruly guy during the Fuckparade 2000 (a techno street-parade in Berlin Germany) which caused the Technoviking to snatch the guy up by his arms and shove him back where he came running from. The Technoviking then pointed at the man and gazed with an extremely fierce glare in his eyes. An aura of fear eminated from the Technoviking, causing the man to step down from the confrontation. The Technoviking then started dancing wildly through the streets after being given water from one of his minions.

Charts

The video above was uploaded by subrelic on October 10th, 2006. Today the video has over 11 million views.

From viewing the Youtube Stats, it appears that the video went largely unnoticed until some time in 2007.

Google insights shows a strong peak in searches for Technoviking beginning in September of 2007, peaking one month later. Further research is needed to pinpoint the cause of this sudden rise in popularity, nearly 11 months following the video’s first appearance on Youtube.

To this day, no one has documented any connection to the real man. Who is he?

Actually, the identity of the Techno Viking is already known: His name is Harry, he’s a German bodybuilder and works as a bouncer.

He was featured in an episode of “Raab in Gefahr” (“Raab in Danger”) a German Comedyshow hosted by Stafan Raab. He had and interview with him, which was online on youtube, but was taken down because of copyright claims by the producers.

A screenshot and link to the video can be seen in this forum: http://hp.bn-paf.de/mib/adw/index.php?PHPSESSID=8bab27f32267665926d43de308370abb&topic=975.msg8484#msg8484

I always thought Technoviking looked exactly like Mattias from Mercenaries 1 and 2 on Xbox. http://www.pandemicstudios.com/mercenaries/mercs.php

I don’t care if I’m necroposting, but if there’s any wish that any respectful man should have deep inside his DNA, it is to become this mofo. Hail him.

Had to post it: Remix of Little Superstar (which while technically, maybe not a meme, is entertaining nonetheless):

No, actually the Technoviking is UFC fighter Keith Jardine. This is pretty widely known now.

CCP (the developers of the MMO EVE-Online) included a Technoviking reference in their music video “HTFU” by Permaband:

NSFW language, and lots of male nipples.

Pretty sure that ain’t Jardine. Jardine’s earlobes are attached is the clincher – but also nose is different.

Technoviking is not Keith Jardine. There are just many who have said that they look alike.

Ah crap, the original video got blocked due to “legal issues.”

You’ve got to be kidding me.

The irony of Henry Rollins ranting against techno music is that Rollins embodies considerable TechnoViking qualities himself.
