Bigfoot: Ten Video Appearances
Posted by: Loren Coleman on March 30th, 2007
Over at “Forces of Good,” Stefan Blitz has posted his ten most favorite video clips of “Bigfoot Appearances.”
I note that only two appearances of the gathering, #1 and #10, can be said to be nonfiction. Most are popular culture icons, snippets from movies, ads, and reality programs that are entirely fictional. Nevertheless, it is a good little collection, and Blitz is to be congratulated for posting these YouTube-like clips all in one place.
Here is his list:
TOP TEN BIGFOOT APPEARANCES
Ah, the famed Sasquatch. Of all of my favorite crypto-creatures, you are by far my favorite. Luckily, the world of pop culture agrees with me! Therefore, I give you my ten favorite appearances of the legendary creature in popular culture.
1. The Grandaddy of them all: The Roger Patterson/Bob Gimlin footage that brought the big fella to the public eye.
2. Harry and the Hendersons: Sasquatch; Spielberg style.
3. The Six-Million Dollar Man: The Bionic Bigfoot
4. The Venture Brothers: See number three.
5. Bigfoot and Wildboy: Saturday mornings get in on the action.
6. Scare Tactics: Spooky candid camera.
7. Boggy Creek: Scary ass Bigfoot
8. Jack Link’s Beef Jerky: Messing with Sasquatch via clever advertising.
9. Tenacious D: Sasquatch - Crypto-Rock
10. In Search Of: Leonard Nimoy’s scientific investigations only propelled interest.Stefan Blitz at Friday, March 30, 2007
Once again, click here, “Bigfoot Appearances,” to go see.
- Similar Phenomena:
“…Sasquatch doesn’t have anything you haven’t seen before!”
“SASQUATCH IS SOMETHING I HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE!!!”
Priceless!
All too good! Thanks a million Loren! Will be listening to C2C on April 24th!
GO SASQUATCH!
I, for one, highly recommend Graham Romieu’s books about Bigfoot, including the brilliant “Me Write Book: It Bigfoot Memoir”. That easily beats Tenacious D. If you’ve not read it, go out and get it.
Where does extraterrestrial Bigfoots fit in ? I always thought Wookies should get some respect.
*finding BF tracks*
- What? Again?
- You still think bigfoot’s a hoax?
- I don’t know what to think.
- I’ll telll you what I think. I think these tracks lead to Marlene Becky.
- Where else do they lead, Steve? Where else?
Cracked me up:)
“‘In Search Of Sasquatch’, that was a kick-*** ‘In Search Of’, with Leonard Nemoy, kickin’ out the jams, ahh!”
Glad to see that the D made the list - you’ve got to love it when Academy Award Winner John C. Reilly plays an uncredited cryptozoological beast, both in the HBO series AND in “The Pick of Destiny”.
Nerd Alert- See, I think Wookies and Wampas were most likely based on Bigfoot and therefore are just as eligable for this list as the others!
They are the Bigfoot of the stars, man! 
No love for Chewbacca?
Maybe Chewbacca could get some sort of honorary mention? Oh alright, I’ll stop…
The Sasquatch song by Tenacious D rules!!
Great list! Number 1 will always be #1 for me and #7 continues to creep me out after all these years.
Hey, they missed the McGuyver bigfoot. He was a guy in a suit, but was really scary until Mac pulled his mask off. And, I second the vote for Wookie recognition.
Dwarf Bigfoots (Contratictory statement) ARE EWOK!!!
where do i go to hunt down the first monster i will kill it and bring it back tell me where
