Eurovision Interview with Brand Kuzma from Augst 19, 2006
When asked about the recent N64 sale on ebay…
Well the highest bidder never paid, and none of the other bidders answered my messages actually, I was pretty unhappy, but someone offered me $200 for it, and paid, so i got that much at least. (Which is much more than ‘normal’ N64 consoles go for on eBay)
How did this video get so popular?
“The video got uploaded sometime in June or July of last year on my own website, kuzmadv.com. Originally I had showed the video to my girlfriend and she thought it was so funny that I should put it on my site, so I finally gave in (because I didn’t think it was that funny, and people would hate it.) Although once it was on my site I put it on a skateboard videography and photo reference forum called Skateperception. I guess someone from that site put it on YouTube and it exploded. There was something like 260,000 hits in a couple days. I guess thats where people got it from and started the many remakes of it.”
