Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox adult biography William Glen Harold Herrington (July 14, 1969 – March 2, 2018), was an American model and pornographic film actor.[1][2] In the late 2000s, his appearances in various gay pornography movies led him to become a popular Internet meme on video-sharing websites such as Japan's Nico Nico Douga, where he was referred to by the sobriquet Шаблон:Nihongo. Since then, at least 15,000 short mash-up parodies of his clips—known as "Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling" (Japanese: ガチムチパンツレスリング, Hepburn: Gachimuchi Pantsu Resuringu, lit. "Gutsy Pants Wrestling")—have been produced by users.[3]

Early life and career

Herrington was born in North Babylon, New York. Herrington grew up in Long Island learning karate from his father, a sensei. He had interests in boxing, wrestling and martial arts, but did not start bodybuilding until he was 24 years old, after moving to New York City.[1]

Herrington began his erotic career when his then girlfriend surreptitiously submitted his nude pictures to Playgirl magazine. The photographs won him a "Real Men of the Month" contest and a $500 prize.[1] His appearance in the magazine caught the eye of famed photographer Jim French, but it was two years before Herrington posed for his first Colt calendars for French.[1] Soon after, Herrington was filming hardcore gay adult films for All Worlds Video, and appearing on mainstream TV programs such as Love Connection and the Ricki Lake talk show.[1][4] In 2002, Herrington said the adult film industry helped him to understand his bisexuality.[2]

Among his starring roles is the Roman emperor in the Danish feature film HotMen CoolBoyz (2000). Herrington's scene in Conquered (2001) with Nino Bacci, Colton Ford, Blake Harper, and Jay Ross won the "Best Group Sex Scene" at the 2002 Adult Erotic Gay Video Awards ("Grabbys").[5] Occasionally, Herrington performed striptease acts at gay clubs in the United States.[6][7]

Internet meme

Шаблон:See also Herrington gained fame in Japan as an Internet meme,[8] after a clip from one of his movies, Workout: Muscle Fantasies 3, was posted on Nico Nico Douga, a Japanese video sharing website, on August 10, 2007.[9] At least 15,000 mash-up parody videos of him have been made, many of which utilize deliberate mishearings (soramimi) of lines from his films.[10] Most notably from Workout: Muscle Fantasies 3 and Lords of the Lockerroom. However, the scenes from the movies were heavily edited with another Japanese meme at the time with censorship, Шаблон:Nihongo, shown in the 4th film of Herrington that was excavated by the Japanese: Buckshot Minute Man Series 18;Шаблон:Citation needed this would become practice on the videos on Nico Nico Douga. In addition to this, carefully selecting the title of each video to sometimes be based solely on one: the character name, and two: what the person/people in the video does/do (e.g. Шаблон:Nihongo). The soramimi reflects on several references: from Japanese commercial products to subtle references to Hawaii Five-O. Herrington is affectionately called Шаблон:Nihongo or Шаблон:Nihongo among the Nico Nico Douga community, and most of his videos are deliberately mistagged with Шаблон:Nihongo, Шаблон:Nihongo, Шаблон:Nihongo, or all three.[11]

The three most notable soramimi from Billy Herrington that comes from Workout: Muscle Fantasies 3, that would later make up the Шаблон:Nihongo tag, are "Huh? Like embarrassing me, huh?" (あぁん？最近だらしねぇな？, aan? saikin darashi nee na? "What? You are slacking off these days?"); "You got me mad now." (歪みねぇな, yugami nee na, "You are not distorted."); and "That's not right, man." (仕方ないね, shikata nai ne, "It can't be helped.").[11][12][13]Шаблон:User-generated source[14]Шаблон:User-generated source[15]Шаблон:User-generated source[16]Шаблон:User-generated source

The Halloween figure was released in October 2009 and the Christmas one was released in December 2009; both are Nico Nico Chyokuhan exclusives.[21]
