Best. Streaker. Ever.

In the competition for best streaker ever, I'm torn between this choice, which gets points for the impact the streak has on the news reporter, & this one, which has the added bonus of unlikely athleticism. Both links go to embedded video, both found via this page, which details the revised rules of streaking).

Dude that shit is so fake, especially the second one. There's just no way.

Somehow, the added fart noise makes it less funny. This is an anomaly that needs to be studied intensively. By someone else.

Fartology is a science best left forgotten.

I liked the guy who jumped over the plexiglass at a hockey game, naked, fell on the ice and had to be removed by paramedics. The picture of him leaping and the faces of the crowd were priceless. Someone find the picture. It's worth it.

BTW, the photo was pshopped to hide his unit.

Yeah, the 2nd one has got to be an ad of some sort. If not, then will you marry me, naked soccer girl? ...once you come down off the coke, I mean.

How about "Not staged as an advertisement?" Can that be a rule of streaking?

Yeah, the first one has an obviously added-in fart that kills any actual humor because it sounds so fake, the second one looks like some sort of european after-hours beer commercial or something -- players usually stop when a streaker hits a field.

Once in a while streaking produces some noteworthy results.

I remember the original one without the sound effect, and it was, indeed, funny.

hydrophonic, that photo is not merely noteworthy. It's emblematic of an age. I'd never seen it before, so thanks much for the link. So what did the bobby do with his hat afterwards? And did the portly gentleman with the overcoat, there on the right, actually stroke out on the spot?

Oh my, hydrophonic ... that is the best. That 'Twickenham Streaker' is like a renaissance painting -- a christ-crowd arrangement. ah, 1974 ... good year for streaking.

Here's an article about streaking in the UK with a choice quote from one of the officers involved in the Twickinham incident. He doesn't say what he did with his hat, though. They also have a small censored photo gallery. Even better, table football fans can recreate the fun with this kit.

vetiver/hydrophonic: I saw an article about this recently. The helmet was auctioned off for charity, but recently an Australian show wanted to do a piece with the streaker and the cop, the streaker would only do it if they got the helmet for him, so they did. They also got the policemen to fly over to meet him and he was able to confirm that the helmet was his as his duty number was still pencilled in the brim.

the second one looks like some sort of european after-hours beer commercial or something It's actually the product of a Rupert Murdoch enterprise: the Sun's Page 3 plugging its fantasy football site (with a namedrop to the Murdoch-owned Sky's 'Dream Team'). And yes, it's obviously 'shopped.

Useless self-promotion factoid: I used to go with school with Lianne Croft (mentioned in hydrophinc's BBC link), the first (and as far as I know, only) female streaker at a snooker game.
