Meet the real life Hong Kong Phooey

"Meet Hong Kong Phooey
By NICK PARKER

CARTOON fan Gary Brett is in the doghouse after changing his name to Hong Kong Phooey.

Gary, 29, took the monicker of the telly canine superhero by deed poll — without telling wife Danielle.

She hit the roof days later when their council tax bill arrived addressed to Mr HK Phooey.

Librarian Danielle, 26, raged: “It took Gary a long time to get me to drop my maiden name and call myself Brett.

“If he thinks I’m calling myself Mrs Phooey he’s got another think coming. He’s done daft things before but this takes the dog biscuit.”

Plumber Gary, of Potters Bar, Herts, paid £38 on an internet site to adopt the name of the kung-fu kicking crimefighter, a 70s kids’ favourite on BBC1.

His council tax, mobile phone and driving licence have already been altered to his new title.

Gary said: “I’ve loved Hong Kong Phooey since I was a boy and always wanted to be named after him.

“I’m quite serious about being known as Mr Phooey.

“Danny was a bit upset. But she should be honoured to be married to a Number One Superguy who’s quicker than a human eye.” "

Thank you Badger, for the correct words. So, we have:

“He’s got style, with a groovy smile, and a car that just won’t stop
When the going gets rough he’s super tough with his Hong Kong Phooey chop”

Hiiiiii yah!

You have to admit…the resemblence is stunning. :smiley:

OMFG! Oh man that is just freaking hilarious! Oh man he looks more like Santa Clause doing Kung Fu if you ask me.

He looks like that dude who used to hang out with Space Ghost…in a Santa Claus suit.

I like the cartoon also. When I was a kid.

What a loser to focus his life on something like this. Anyone want to take bets on how long his marriage is gonna last now…?

Ok, now we have a Hong Kong Phooey and a Peter pan:

A few years ago a lady changed her name to Obi-Wan Kenobi for like $500 from some radio station.

Tell me that guy doesn’t look like Robin dressed as one of the Ambiguously Gay Super Duo! :smiley:

His poor wife…
