You’ll have to excuse me. Because I don’t watch VH1, I had never heard of “Ton of Cash” or contestant Jonny Sarhanis, who apparently calls himself “the Greek Mystique.” Sarhanis apparently does something called “the Animal,” which involves braying and beating his chest like some kind of Australopithecine cross-bred with something dumber.
When host Dhani Jones (good to see him working!) tells Sarhanis that he has to leave the show, the Greek Mystique attempts to give the motivational speech from Rocky Balboa, then he gives up and does the Animal until he falls onto his back from exhaustion — or possibly from depriving his brain of oxygen. It must be seen to be believed (and subsequently mocked).

Australopithecine?!
Is Dennis Miller filling in for Matt today?
I bet he is a blast at parties, provided “is a blast at parties” is slang for “has a dozen hernias.”
Steroids are a hell of a drug.
Back in his life of debt, they call this the Pawn Shop Haka.
I hope the rest of the contestants get even with those socs.

I just got a hemorrhoid watching that.
If anything, the blonde at the 0:32 mark is pretty hot.
Are Greeks bad with money everywhere?
That’s how I end business meetings. On a related note, is anyone hiring?
Robustus or gracile….?
…did Australopithicine’s HAVE the range of motion required to stand AND beat their chests….?
…also….he needs a voice coach…..the pitch INCREASED with his performance…..rather than decreasing into the expected and desired growl…..
…and another thing….WTF?? is with VH1?
Hee Moy…
…point well taken…..I may have to watch this show if they are featuring half-way decent poon….
I saw this clip on the Soup. At first, I was like, “Why does he have his shirt off?” Then he did the Animal and I was even more confused.
Which begs the question, which is more horrible, MTV or VH1?
Someone NEEDS to do a mashup of this guy and the old & crazy dog man over here: [youtu.be]

Oh, VH1. You’re as much “Video Hits One” as MTV is “Music Television.”

….your predicting a Democrat party win in 2012 ??
The Australopithicines were a docile bunch who were preyed upon by larger more aggressive animals. Their diet was mostly berries and buts. They were really the first major step toward humans and more like scared bipedal pussies than chest thumping barbarians. Next time use Paranthropus Robustus or even the obvious choice, Neanderthal.
I hate you so much, Mrcheivous
