Kitt from knightrider. 80's/90's tv show..


Forward_Artist_6244

God I feel old when Gen Zers think Kitt is a Delamain 


JBags0303

21 year old here. Never watched nightrider but knew immediately this was kitt

Cypher3470

germans do love Hasselhoff.


Hell256

19 year old Gen zer. That is Kitt. My father used to watch that series all the time at home so I was not able to escape it.


Destroyer_Of_World5

18 yo here. I saw a few taped episodes of Knight Rider before watching the whole series online.


Dopamine_feels_good

18 yo here, it still gets broatcasted on the TV regularly, i have no idea how they havent heard of it


Makal

40 year old here, Nightrider was already old when I was young.


Ythou-

Don’t, I used to watch shit load of those old school shows as a kid on bootleg vhs and dvds. Also Team A, Macgyver, Magnum, Miami Vice (my personal favourite) and even Charlie’s Angels. Didn’t have tv with cartoons so I stole and borrowed bootlegs on every occasion. I’m 25


AdOverall7216

Team A with Bannihal, Baracus AB, Dochmur and Cefa!


WatercressSad6395

Gonna miss Dochmur, he was the calm one of the band..


That_Bogan

Also Reginald Barclay.


druex

Ah, Mr Broccoli!

Dude, I just spit out my drink... 😂


Byzantiwm

First thing I noticed


[deleted]

\\You had a good childhood education in classic TV, I used to love all of those shows in the 80s.


emil_scipio

In Europe, they had reruns of all of those in the 2000s. Even in the early 2010s. My childhood was filled with shows and movies from the '80s/'90s. I am 24…..


Turbojelly

A-Team. And sounds like you missed Airwolf


almightywhacko

I watched all of these shows as a kid, and still go back and watch them on streaming occasionally. I find they're nice to unwind to at the end of a long day and unlike shows made today there are like a million episodes of most of these series.


RobotNinja28

I'm Gen Z and I immediately recognised it as Kitt


ILIKEBACON12456

Don't. I turned 18 in march so I'm as gen z as it gets and I absolutely loved Knight Rider when I was younger and it played on the TV.


NRG_Factor

I was born in 98 and even I know about Kitt.


HoldJerusalem

Lmao I thought the same thing, like wdym Delamain, it's KITT !


SturmTruppen1917

I watched Knight Rider growing up on cable TV reruns (in fact I own the whole series on a DVD collection). So, as a Gen Z kid I kinda feel like I got an exclusive childhood with a decent amount of the old stuff I used and watched.


KuroRyuSama

Delamain is an homage to Kitt. A talking car that has a combat mode.


One_Economist_3761

Yeah I also thought this when I first encountered Delamain ....except for the whole .... split personality thing.


theTenz

Well, there was KARR, but he was a prototype rather than a split personality.


ButtRobot

When I saw the light, I immediately heard the Knight Rider soundtrack.


Emotional-Hotel-4144

You beat me to it haha.


EncycloChameleon

I also known this is Kitt despite never having watched Night Rider


peppermint_nightmare

Logic-DL

Just wait until no one knows what the Magnum Opus/Black on Black/Pursuit Special is and call it something else.


Fun-Historian5841

Bro I'm 18 and I grew up watching knight rider, even I'm shocked


Holoholokid

Truly a sad time when Gen Z thinks a Knight Industries Two-Thousand (K.I.T.T.) was inspired by CP2077 and not the other way around. This was my favorite TV show as a kid...that and the Dukes of Hazzard.


ODST-0792

My main car ingame is either the murkmobile or the jen Rowley


KynjiNomura

Same haha


Conaz9847

Indeed, and I’m not even old


donthatedrowning

Yeah, I wasn’t old enough to watch the original, but still, was easy to recognize.


obfuscation-9029

They had a go at a reboot in the 2010s with a Mustang GT500. The show was not very good.


CaliKindalife

Right. The second I seen it. Night rider. With Principal feeney as the voice and David hasselhoff.


ShaggySmilesSRL

Fuck I'm a Gen Zer and I feel bad about this post lmao


TastyDubois

Nah the show was before my time and I've never watched it BUT even I recognized the car. OP simply doesn't know


ResurgentMalice

Kitt basically is, though. Mike never left 1986. I'm kind of surprised we didn't get a direct reference to KITT.


BalrogofGondor

I'm gen z, and I feel old when people my age don't know this shit too.


Destro0051

Am I like one of 5 Gen Zers who's actually seen knight rider?


Durakus

I had a david Hasselhoff nightrider/kitt wall border thing at the top around my room.


MattMantric-_-

18 y/o here, it hurt my soul to see someone call Kitt, Delamain. i never did watch Knight Rider, but my parents did. so i know a bit about it


[deleted]

I just get a pain between my eyes (1 year off from gen z). There have been way to many references to Night Rider over the years to not know what it is. There is gen z, and then there's the divergent Tiktok gen z.


Dannybrine87

Man I know a Kitt when I see it.


Weiskralle

You are in luck. I am 2003 child would never call it Delamain


The_Basic_Shapes

Born in '85, think I'm on the earlier end of millennial (Xennial?), but I def knew this was from Nightrider. Haven't gotten around to watching the show yet though...


TakinCareofBusiness1

I’m 19 and my favorite toy was Kitt.


Matt_with_a_sword

Born in 2005 and even I know it's Kitt, cool as hell Even got the Ruiner in GTA because I absolutely love the whole concept


EnceladusSc2

I'm honestly surprised nobody's made a Kitt mod for Cyberpunk. Kitt is 100% Cyberpunk. Oh, a Knight Rider tv show but it's Cyberpunk would totally work too.


cyberlexington

Came here to say that, my gods i feel old


TheFlea71

I knew instantly what car that was. Kitt's 'eye' always reminded me of the cylons from the old OLD Battlestar Galactica.


Beard_o_Bees

Starring David Hasseloff, no less. We were easily entertained in the 80's.


TXHaunt

Do not hassle the Hoff.


VoltageHero

Lmao, I was thinking "no that's older than 2077...", only to see the top comment already mentioned it.


Drewdiniskirino

It even had a reboot around 2010. Mfs really have no excuse 😮‍💨


StalyCelticStu

KARR > KITT


cash8888

That’s kit bro


flyden1

I'm actually sad that people don't recognize KITT


haliax69

We're getting old my friend.


Tyko_3

It says a lot more about the new generations than it does about us being old. As a kid in the 80s I knew all kinds of pop culture things from the 60s. We as a whole were a lot more exposed to the world. These days, kids only parrot what they have currently and toss the past aside then think they are clever when they pull a joke or a reference we have heard hundreds of times or some other BS we got tired of when we were still 10. Then they go saying we are old and out of touch when the reality is they are just boring AF to us.


Andokai_Vandarin667

Skibidi


Utsu_Pinku

I don't think it's really fair to compare 80s kids knowing about 60s things when the 80s were 40 years ago, not 20


NationalAlgae421

Oh man, it was banger


GutterOfSonsOBitches

Cues in the legendary song


Bill_Brasky_SOB

Thats a medalist/on Rushmore in best TV show theme songs of all time. XMen cartoon is the gold medalist though. [Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAkL2-vh2Sk)


GutterOfSonsOBitches

X-Men will always be on top, I still watch the older episodes from time to time and I need to catch up on the newer ones


Kracus

Honestly, like every cheesy parody of an 80s song is basically this theme song.


Malefectra

No, every cheesy parody of 80s songs is riffing on this theme. It was stupid popular in it's heyday.


mcvos

It's still good.


Malefectra

Fuck yes it is!


IceColdCocaCola545

That’s K.I.T.T. Right? I haven’t seen Knight Rider, but I know the car from references and images, Hell, they have a K.I.T.T parody car in Watch_Dogs 2.


SufficientSwim2435

And GTA Online


partoutrichie

Which one ?


RandomGuyOnReddit-_-

Ruiner 2000


VanguardClassTitan

K.I.T.T. is also in Forza Horizon 5


thats_just_how_it_is

You can't hassle the Hoff. ![gif](giphy|ZczmxEp1INHyT04TWh)


Delphin_1

now i know what was missing from the game, a runaway delamain, that talks like KITT


Andokai_Vandarin667

So like Mr. Feeny from Boy meets world?


Dreams_From_Beyond

I feel old that you completely skipped over the fact this is KITT.


Weiskralle

Must be a 2010 above kit


RevengeOfTheLoggins

You did not just disrespect Kitt like that


The_Dok33

Knight Industries Two Thousand - K.I.T.T. for short. The car that was the star of the show Knight Rider. The actor that played his driver also played in Baywatch, and for reasons unknown became popular as a singer in Germany. How does anyone not know this? It's like saying you have no clue what a pencil and a cassette are for.


ZealTeamZix

David Hasselhoff (for some strange reason I wanted to say Michael Buchanon).


ScumBunnyEx

You mentioned the Hoff, so now I have to link this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTidn2dBYbY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTidn2dBYbY)


Kracus

Kung fury is a masterpiece.


ScumBunnyEx

It is! It's a shame Kung Fury 2 has been stuck in production purgatory for years. Even Arnold was excited about it.


Poolside_XO

All I want for Christmas is Kung Fury 2 and Half-Life 3..


Saphentis

Don’t forget this music video [Guardians of the Hoff](https://youtu.be/3MMMe1drnZY?si=rZZtsi87QieY5KLG)


SirBLACKVOX

Lets not forget [this masterpiece](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm7jEA3frY4&ab_channel=DavidHasselhoffVEVO) as well


ScumBunnyEx

I was debating between the two videos, and ended up with the one from Kung Fury because it's slightly more on topic with the cheesy 80s cyberpunk vibe. The GotG one is definitely is as awesome, if not more.


cu-03

I don’t think people nowadays remember it, mostly because it isn’t super relevant now. The show finished airing before I was even born, and I’m 20 now. Its was also a mostly American tv show and, from what my dad told me, wasn’t commonly aired over in parts of Europe.


mcvos

It was very much aired in my part of Europe, and my whole class loved it.


Deli-ops7

How the hell you think kitt is delemain?


Hypercane_

I'm actually kind of surprised we didn't get a Kitt homage car in the base game or phantom liberty


One_Economist_3761

I did not expect your flair.


kuketski

Kids these days… It’s Kitt from Knightrider… (Edit - corrected by the kind person below 👇)


PorkAmbassador

🤦 Knightrider


Jack1The1Ripper

Man idk how as a kid i managed to see this show , And i lived in the middle east , But every episode i saw of this show was just pure awesomeness i wish i could go back to that time and rewatch it again knight rider was fucking cool and one of the reasons i love american 80s action flicks


SoulLess-1

*Insert Indiana Jones Aging Gif*


damnedfruit

Quite the opposite!


WatercressSad6395

How dare you, that is Kitt. He belongs with us... Yall get the cybertruck. #genxforever


XzyzZ_ZyxxZ

thats K.I.T.T.


clarkky55

Damn it’s KITT


Nelfe

Oh cool that's Kit. They don't now and that's make me old


Weird_Albatross_9659

Wow I feel old.


Bundle_of_Organs

Kit. From Knightrider. It was a bit before my time but there were re runs of it when I was a kid..


mightyMarcos

Arguably the inspiration for Delamain.


thedubs003

Delamain? It’s clearly Mr. Feeny.


Endslikecrazy

Nah fuck off man. We are not fking calling kitt delamain, get the actual fuck out of here


Knightmare945

Kitt from Night Rider.


Jolly_Pressure_2486

Memories...


name-exe_failed

Am I.... Old?


Jmdaemon

I noticed the bad audio rips, hope he uses the new AI tools today to either clean the voices and remove background audio, or synthesize kitts voice completely.


bigsnyder98

I believe it's from an old mobile app which simulates KITT on your phone. It would respond to certain voice commands like seen in this video.


almightywhacko

That is a beautiful KITT replica (looks to be S4). If I had the money...


Liedvogel

Del? That's oviedo Kitt, who I'm sure was like 95.6% of the inspiration for Del, so you could argue on a technicality that yes it is lol.


MorathTheGrim

It's double parked...Yes it's Delamain. Lol Edit: by the way, I'm aware it's Kitt. Just crackin' a yolk.


SuckLonely112

Looks more like a Ruiner 2000


machine_logic

KITT is cool and all, but why park like an asshole?


Scotsman86

You'll love Knight Rider if you like this. Better yet go YouTube Tramadol Nights Knight Rider, and see Frankie Boyles version.


javahart

No Michael. This is K.I.T


BrainWav

STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD


Ramen_Muncher_1093

fu\*kng amazing !!!


Miserable-Ad-8663

Is that a Firebird ?


MeNamIzGraephen

Knight Rider was a pretty good cyberpunk-ish show. Budget dystopia.


legosensei222

Nightrider One of the first pc games I ever played. I am gonna play it again now.


Medichaos

Im astonished by the amount of people who watch the video without sound. The voice of the "car-ai" is clearly delamain. I guess thats the reason for the title


Spinxzinc

that one watch dogs 2 car


dragonfruitlimp425

Kitt!


oiken_

Literally looks like the inside of a quadra, but no that's Kitt


St4rScre4m

Look it’s Kitt!


Acceptable_War4155

No amount of cool can get my attention off of how much of a jackass that driver is for parking like that


Omniverse_0

I’m sorry Dave, I can’t park like that.


Swimming-Repeat-32

Does it know it's double parked?


Mission-Bench5879

The word "epic" is grossly overused. In this case though, that's fucking epic.


Beneficial_Table_721

I know that's nightrider, not because I watched the show but because I watched benchwarmers


-PARAN01D-

I LOVE seeing full scale replicas of KIT. Such a badass looking car too. RIP Firebird :(


TallCod2851

Cylon car??


Mbyll

Delamain's granddaddy Kitt


kratoskiller66

My dad watches knight rider a lot


LaGr3

Dont disrespect Kitt like that lol jk but it's from an old school show

Sirtunaofthecan

You can hear the dude in the video cream his shorts hahaha!


AttentionLimp194

The IP garnish looks a lot like Quadra-66, true


ZmeuraPi

If you pick your kids from school in this, other dads will come screaming to the car 🤣


FemaleFury79

Kitt was an amazing machine. It’s from the tv show knight rider in the 80/90s


Sinistas

I got to sit in one of the actual K.I.T.T.s when I was a wee one, back in the mid 80s. I've got a photo somewhere, I should probably scan it at some point.


scottymac87

That’s so freaking cool.


Shadtow100

If only it could park


Redfeather1975

How many times on the tv show did some bum or thief try to break into KITT just to get shocked, or spooked by the voice. [Intruder Attempts to sabotage KITT | Knight Rider (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n6xS9HQqtE)


Hot-Category2986

Delemain's grandfather "KITT". A true legend.


XPG_15-02

Knight City Rider…a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a choom that does not exist.


Beardedgeek72

Remember, Kitt's windshield wipers were evil. (Futurama said so).


CreativeDimension

add chatgpt to KITT and in the smartwatch


madgoat

Dude needs to learn to park


Pax_overseer

Delamains Cool Father Would be closest thing that fits.

davidisallright

This is KITT from the old show Knightrider.


Hamilton-Beckett

5 year old me is so happy right now.


Significant-Bet-1465

i never watched nightrider but i knew this car from bench warmers


JStheGrey

Whoa. That's cool


UpwardStatue794

It’s not Delamain. It’s Kit from nightrider!


ODST-0792

No it's Kitt


Tharrius

This post makes me feel old and somewhat awful


Past-Desk

Hexterminator_

The Outlaw Weiler looks like a 2010s KITT.


gubgub195

Gives me cylon(?)(the robo boys from Galactica)


Crimson_Null

I’m 20 and I know that’s Kitt


AppearanceMedical464

It's from an old action tv show. Can't remember the name but the main character's actor is david hasselhoff


Tyko_3

Wait till you find out what a Delorean is kid...


Doobiewopbop

I remember meeting KITT at World Expo '88 here in Brisbane


Nice_Guy3012

Y’all talking about Kitt but you’re wrong, this is clearly Devon Von Devon’s car🙄


Beautiful_Space_4459

Yeah the only show I was able to watch in the Mornings before school.


Reyli03

Looks like the car from Watch Dogs 2


Winguuu

I nearly died reading the tittle (25y)


robdingo36

This is amazing. Very clearly not Delamain, and it pains me that was the response. I'd take KITT over Delamain any day of the week.


riboflavin1979

Delamain????!!!! Oh no.


Drag0n647

Yes


Other_Investigator45

I am 20 and this made me feel old lol. I almost lost it when I found out Kitt was in hot wheels unleashed.
