Who is Benny Lava?

Oh gosh, oh gosh, I nearly peed myself at this video.




And now I'm so turned on and I'm scratching my head wondering, who is the hot mystery man in this video? Who is Benny Lava?

Is it:

a. Legendary foul mouthed blogger Fingers?

b. George Michael after an excessive session on a sunbed?



c. Big Hairy Bush?



d. Borat?



e. The Hoff?


Or could it be anyone else you can think of? Answers please. This is a competition and the one who gets it right will win the self adhesive chest wig or if you're a woman you can cut it up into merkins.

Clearly he is Luis Guzman's younger, and much taller, brother. Thanks for the comic reprieve!

Gorilla Bananas said...

In the words of Eli Wallach, he's the son of a thousand fathers, all bastards like him.

I wish I had something witty to say like jr and gorilla up there. Hell, I'd settle for a fortune cookie to read off of right about now. I'm just...... I'm.....

I feel either dirty right now, or overjoyed that I know the joys of Benny Lava. I really can't tell.

I would say...Austin Powers or Adam Sandler's the Zohan. Great video.

Benny Lava is a lumberjack in northern Alaska.
His mother was from Murmansk in the Northwest of Russia where she reared Chinchillas for the soup kitchens there.
During the Great Chinchilla Famine of 1919 she stowed away on a tramp steamer bound for the Malampa province of Vanuatu.
There she met Benny's father, a pro-wrestler who'd lost his left leg from the knee up in a tragic wind surfing accident on Lake Windimere.
Soon after Benny was born, he ran off to join the cast of Walker, Texas Ranger, where he played the part of 'Armpit' Johansson, an ex-navy seal who played clarinet.
He sunk all his savings into a spin-off tv series called 'It's The Pits' but lack of success, mostly due to a lack of crimes that could be foiled by vigorous clarinet playing, would lead him to forever turn his back on the entertainment industry.
He was cleared of any involvement in the deaths of three Italian tourists in 1995.
As he was felling a tree, he shouted "Timber!" in the normal fashion. The three tourists thought he shouted "Tomba!" after Alberto Tomba, the Italian skier, and ran towards his voice.
He survives today on the royalties from this song.

Drywall Mom's got it right that Benny Laaaaava is Austin Power's Indian arch nemesis, who retired from the espionage field with the end of the cold war and now uses his singing and dancing and mojo powers to steal women's hearts, instead of state secrets.

Vodka Mom said...

john McCain. for sure.

After the Americans bombed out all the terrorist training camps since they weren't allowed to practice Jihad and watch killing videos anymore - they started watching old Michael Jackson circa Thriller and Billy Jean.
And this is now what we have.

It's my next door neighbour, Keith.
Honest.

OMG that was just too funny.
What's not funny is that now I have the song stuck in my head.
I was actually sitting at the lights on my scooter singing 'Anyone need a sign Benny Lava'...

Steve said...

Yeah, damned right "I need a bun to bite"... this man is surely Tubbs from the 80's series Miami Vice? Or the knife wielding hood from Michael Jackson's Beat It video...

Mars said...

haha...the actor (name is Prabhudeva) is an amazing dancer. but this video is funny regardless of the translation (or translitaration)

Trixie said...

HAHAHAHAHA!

This reminded me of the pirate DVD's my nephew brought back from Thailand. One of them was Kungfu Panda. The subtitles automatically come on, and the thai person writing the sub titles, is just doing it as he here's there were classic mistakes like what was said...

'What are you going to do, sit on me?'

Subtitles said 'What are you going to do shit on me?'

And...

'We'll get a new noodle bar, one you can stand up in.'

Translated...

'We'll get a new noodle bar, one you can dump in!'

Tell you what, the subtitles were more funny than the movie!

I think credit should be given where credit is due. The dancers are certainly fast in costume changes.

Kate Lord Brown said...

Thank you! The two year old loved it (but then he has just pointed at the pic of the Hoff and said 'Dada' so the pilot will be amused).

Think Trixie's subtitle artist has been at work in Colombo too - our Mama Mia had Norwegian subtitles & whenever they suggested sex (dot dot dot), the subtitles said 'Prick prick prick'.

Daisy said...

it's the long lost video from tom jones' youth...he had a beard then and as you can tell from the video women found him terribly attractive in his youth...it has to be him...look at the hip moves...come on now who else can move like that...

Inchy said...

Me.

I got it goin' on, babygirl.

Helen said...

It's the unabomber, aka Ted Kacynski. Shortly after he performed in this video, and unable to get 'my loony bun is fine, benny lava' out of his head, he sat beneath a chinese chestnut, and penned "Industrial Society and Its Future" in a mere 33 minutes. Grapevining down the street to the post office, he flipped his hood up (just as he did in the video at 0:29), and was forever immortalized by forensic artist Jeanne Boylan.

Its true, wiki it.

Karen ^..^ said...

Hilarious. I have seen that video before, but now I don't remember where. One of my crazy friends, I'm sure. LOL.

the subtitles are so funny, and the dancing and the smouldering looks they give each other are enough to keep me rolling on the floor. This was great!

Effortlessly Average said...

He's he guy who opened all those teppanyaki restaurants where they throw the knives around and tell stupid jokes. Duh.

Keshi said...

Borat looks bloody hilarious in that outfit lol!

Keshi.

moi said...

Fudkin' hell. Now I got Benny Lava on the brain. AND I'm craving Chicken Vindaloo. Thanks.

HotGVibe said...

I am surprised he doesn't do anything with sex toys like the ones at www.hotgvibe.com. That would be hilarious.
