What you are about to watch is very real. It has a very tenuous connection to sports other than the screen grab we were able to take of that gentleman appears to have him dressed in Viking garb ("Hi, I'm Fred ...").

But quite simply, you have to watch it.

It is apparently a montage of video dating clips from the 1980s. And it is spectacular. If you have seen it already, watch it again.

If you have not seen it, we don't even want to spoil the next four-plus minutes for you by describing in any detail. But we will say Fred the Viking makes an even more spectacular appearance late in the video.

Thank you so much, Ken Tremendous. You have given us all so much. And to give us this ... well ... we don't know what to say. *Sniff*.

Let's have at it:
