Someone please explain what’s happening in this Carey Price video

Carey Price

National Post and Grantland writer Sean McIndoe (known on teh interwebz as Down Goes Brown) has alerted the masses to Carey Price’s “vote for me” video for the 2012 NHL All-Star game:

That is...something. What, I’m not sure. I’ve watched it four times now and all I’m certain of is:

1) That’s Carey Price.

2) He wants you to vote him into the All-Star game.

After that I have no clue what’s going on.

Apparently it has something to do Brice de Nice, a French film about a surfer waiting for the perfect wave. Having watched a few clips of Brice de Nice in action (here and here and here, and I apologize in advance), I’m guessing this character is “European funny” the same way Napoleon Dynamite was “North American funny.” I met this Belgian girl once that told me Napoleon Dynamite was “dark” and kept saying how sorry she felt for him. Me: “Really? Did you not see the part where he fed ham to his pet llama?” Another example of the cultural divide, I suppose.

In closing, I’d like to point out Brice de Nice is six years old, so Montreal’s timing on imitating him is kinda strange -- dare I say a little dated. It does open the door for Roberto Luongo to do a Borat-themed video for his ASG campaign, though. Great success!
