Last year I watched the 1994 TV series Thunder in Paradise starring Hulk Hogan. It was from the creators of Baywatch and shot in central Florida. I knew of it but never saw it when it originally aired, so when a podcast I listen to did an episode on the series, I decided to check it out. As one might suspect, it's pretty campy, but I still enjoyed it (I really love the theme song way more than I should).

Anyway, at the end of the fifth episode ("Strange Bru"), Hulk and his character's former fiancée race motorcycles past a Wayne Coombs tiki:

Here's the point in the episode where the tiki is featured for about six seconds:
