The four-minute video shot by experimental video artist Matthias Fritsch [de] at the Fuckparade on 8 July 2000 begins with the title "Kneecam No. 1". The camera is focused on a group of people dancing to techno music, with a blue-haired woman in front. An apparently drunk/unbalanced man stumbles into the scene and bumps into the woman briefly before steadying himself and beginning to move on.
The eponymous "Techno Viking", a muscular bare-chested man so-named because he is wearing a Mjölnir pendant and has a blond braid and a beard, enters the scene by grabbing the man by the arms after he already let the woman go and was leaving, with the camera showing the confrontation. The Techno Viking pushes the man back in the direction he came, looking at him sternly and then pointing his finger at him to warn him to behave.
The camera then follows the Techno Viking as the parade continues. Another observer comes from the back of the scene and offers an inverted bottle of water to him. The Techno Viking starts to dance down Rosenthaler Straße after drinking from the bottle.
Damn, this is over 25 years old now. This is one of the earliest viral videos I can think of.
