An informal, shorthand nickname for David Hasselhoff — the American actor and singer best known for his roles in Knight Rider and Baywatch, and for his enormous popularity in Germany. 'The Hoff' or simply 'Hoff' entered popular culture as a reference point for a particular kind of campy, self-aware celebrity excess. Calling someone or something 'Hoff' implies a knowing nod to kitsch nostalgia, muscular TV drama, and the strange geography of international fame.
He showed up to the 80s party in swim trunks and a red lifeguard buoy — full Hoff mode, and absolutely committed to the bit.
