MC Hammer may not be the first person you'd think of when you hear the word geek, but apparently his blood runs true blue. During an appearance today on The Oprah Winfrey Show, he not only announced the availability of his new single (which will be available starting today on Flipboard of all places), but the two also chatted about Hammer's geeky tendencies, including their shared love for the iPad. Find out more below!

  • He's been a supporter of online video since 1994 and even visited YouTube's first offices when they were above a pizza parlor.
  • He loves his iPad, has helped to develop numerous apps, and can't get enough of his new ZAGGmate case.

See the rest of the list, along with a clip of MC Hammer on the show after the jump.

MC Hammer's Cartoon Hammerman

Flashback: Hammerman

I watched this intro to the short-lived MC Hammer-inspired superhero cartoon Hammerman (1991 - 1992) like three times just to figure out what the freaking story was.

I watched this intro to the short-lived MC Hammer-inspired superhero cartoon Hammerman (1991 - 1992) like three times just to figure out what the freaking story was. So here goes: Some old dude had superpowers thanks to some special shoes that can talk. He has to retire so he and his granddaughter go out looking for his replacement. (Are you still with me?) They find him, and his name is Stanley. The shoes like Stanley, so he becomes the crime-fighting superhero. (Huh?) With an intro like this, no wonder the show only lasted thirteen episodes! (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

Stop, Hammertime! Olivia Munn, host of G4's Attack of the Show, hits the nail off the head when reading the teleprompter and reporting on the has-been status of a favorite '90s rap star. She makes an honest mistake, but it's a good example of how history gets rewritten. R.I.P. McHammer. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

What's worse than an impromptu performance by the fanny pack princess at The Magical Kingdom? This dude jammin' Hammer-style in 80's balloon pants in front of a camera and his unimpressed mom at home. Doesn't he have someplace to be, like out with his...friend(s)? And for his sake, I hope Mom's vigorously sewing up a shirt cuz the ridiculously oversized blazer ain't cuttin' it.
