"Four-gaffes-a-day" Boris Johnson has confirmed he is to run for London mayor. He attracts a crowd most places he goes, as seen here at last year's Conservative party conference. And that's not the only video moment online.
This BBC report explains what all the fuss was about.
Boris wrote his version of the "Gordon at Khartoum" moment in his Telegraph column.
The mayoral candidate entertains like few politicians can, often landing himself in hot water. Here he apologises to Liverpudlians for an article in the Spectator, which he edited, following the killing of the hostage Ken Bigley in Iraq.
Youtube, of course, is a treasure trove for Boris moments.
Here's a few that caught my eye. Feel free to add your own below.
1. Boris rugby tackles a German player during a charity football match.
2. Boris argues that Dick Francis should get a knighthood, not Salman Rushdie (5min 30s into the clip).
3. Boris gets animated in a fittingly bizarre way.
4. Boris guest hosts the current affairs quiz, Have I got News for You.
5. A commentator sums up why Boris could be the Tory's man to run against Ken Livingstone.
