Celebrate the holidays, Gunther style, with my bizarre video parody.

Back in 2006, my friends and I became enamoured with the ridiculous foreign pop star Gunther. This somehow led to shooting our own parodies of his music videos, including the one above for Gunther’s Christmas Song.

To relive those good times, I’m sharing the video here.

Merry Christmas!

For more of our Gunther goodness, check out The Ding Dong Song, and Tutti Frutti Summer Love.

    Never in my life have I ever seen someone who has consistently managed to have the perfect amount of beard more than Ian…er….Gunther.

    A-quality abuse, Ian. =)

    Consider also that my eyeballs were wearing a short skirt, and deserved what they got. (Sorry! Can’t help saying tacky things sometimes. Call me somehow inspired. =) )

    This is amazing. My friends and I make videos of us posing as Gunther and the Sunshine Girls too!!! It’s a great hobby!

    That was hilarious. I can’t stop watching it – it’s totally epic. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of Gunther, I feel like I’ve been living under a rock or something.
