So yesterday, I brought you the trailer for MVP: Most Vertical Primate, as part of my ongoing Forgotten Classics coverage. Specifically, I identified the performance of airpunching guy, aka The Last Airpuncher, who, between the 4 and 6 second marks of the trailer, managed to steal the entire movie. And even though I was too lazy to make a .gif animation myself, a kind soul named Ted was nice enough to do it for me. And… it’s glorious. He. Just. Keeps. Punching. The Air. Look at him. He’s amazing. He must be a method actor. He was probably doing that all week, suffering for his art in the way of dizziness and rotator cuff injuries. Can anyone identify this fine thespian? He must be singled out, and awarded the FilmDrunk metal of honor. That’s right, I spelled it metal, and it wasn’t an accident. Unlike your sister. (*pushes a monkey in the goal, punches air*)

Everybody in the Phelps family was a fine swimmer, even Joey, the retarded cousin.
That’s how he fights off his throngs of adoring fans.
That man got past the handbike on the Eliminator on American Gladiators faster than any other contestant ever.
His nickname is school was Rocky Maraschino.
Looks like my ex-girlfriend fighting off a tea-bagging.
Seriously, that gif. is seamless.
I still think Cockpuncher > Airpuncher.
He’s frightened because there are girls nearby.
If you woulda knocked that shit off, Pauly, I wouldn’t be your ex.
ANIMATED GIF FTW! Qaplah!
The Mighty Feklahr approves of the cheerleader that is endlessly opening her legs.
My CB handle is “The last Cunt-Puncher”.
I can’t stop watching.
This guy is always at the front of conga lines.
The Mighty Feklahr asserts an official nickname for Filmdrunk’s animated gif hero: Punchdrunk.
I wanna see the rest of the bouncy cheerleader. Pan right!
My gay cousin used to fight like that in junior high. He never lost a fight.
Can someone photoshop drumsticks into his hands? Fuck Keith Moon.
Dude is a slapfight champion, in the Middle School weight class. Several Dollar Baby.
With a 2 second performance he is already an actor on the level of Michael J Fox
Gloria Estefan tried to warn him, but he wouldn’t listen and now the rhythm’s got him. Tsk tsk tsk… sad story indeed.
Dor Sho Gah! I didn’t even realize I’d used is instead of in until The Mighty One nommed it. Oh well.
New up, flying fist fuckers.
Vince, you should get ahold of whoever did the extras casting on this thing. Might be able to narrow it down. I do know one of the writers though…
“I’m just going to keep throwing my hands around like this. And if you get in the way, it’s your own fault.”
But it turns out that’s not a valid defense for spousal abuse. Take that, punchy wife.
I’d like to see a face-off between this kid and Rush Limbaugh.
As I pointed out under the first MVP posting, the puncher is a CANADIAN STAND-UP COMIC NAMED AUBREY TENNANT. HIS WEBSITE IS AUBREYTENNANT.COM ([www.aubreytennant.com]). He is extremely talented, was a big part of the alternative comedy scene in Vancouver before moving back east.
On an unrelated note, to induce vomiting, set that GIF file as your desktop background.
I sat through 94 minutes of Most Valuable Primate and that part wasn’t even FUCKING IN THERE! GOT DAMMIT! I could’ve spent that time talking my girlfriend into anal…
Where do I collect my award?
FIGHTS TWO DEMONS!
