33 High School Students Were Suspended For Twerking

Jeremy Taylor — Fri, 03 May 2013 15:25:00 +0000

"Twerking" is the latest dance craze. And by that we mean Miley Cyrus is quite fond of posting videos of herself doing it.

But the administration at Scripps Ranch High School in San Diego are not fond of Twerking. In fact they just suspended 33 students for their o

Is This Basketball Usher the Next Michael Jackson?

Kyle Dowling — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:16:15 +0000

Sorry, it’s not that Usher. Regardless, he’s still got the beat so might as well move those feet, right? During a recent Pistons game at The Palace, fans decided to take a break and show off their moves for the State Farm Dance Cam. After making its way around the area, the camera settled on [...]

Emerald Catron — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 19:55:47 +0000

Yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of Michael Jackson's moonwalk. Yes, it was three decades ago that Michael debuted his signature dance move on Motown's 25th anniversary special. Not only did this clip introduce a dance craze to the world, it was the launching pad that turned Michael from a R&B star into a superstar.

10 Kids Doing the 'Harlem Shake'

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:10:01 +0000

We're not entirely why, but this whole 'Harlem Shake' dance craze is taking over the Web. Maybe the weird-meets-hilarious combo has something to do with it, but regardless, the stuff is straight up entertaining. We recently found offices are suspiciously good at it and so are the folks over at 'The Daily Show.' So who are the latest brave souls to jump on this bandwagon? Good ol' kiddos!

15 Hilarious Office 'Harlem Shake' Videos

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:56:46 +0000

Every few months, a video craze comes along, and the Web goes full-on obsessed with it (guilty). Let's reminisce for a moment. Last year there was the whole Call Me Maybe trend. Then Gangnam Style took over our lives for a few months and now, the Harlem Shake is getting America dancin' in their pants.

'Happy Endings' Jumps on the Harlem Shake Wagon

Emerald Catron — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 18:24:43 +0000

Yup, it's still happening. People are still making 'Harlem Shake' videos. At least they seem to be increasing in star power. Last week it was Kyle MacLachlan. This version features Elisha Cuthbert AND Damon Wayans Jr., who is carrying the "Sinbrad" puppet from the

10 Hilariously Painful Moonwalk Fails

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:00:11 +0000

When it comes to gettin’ down on the dance floor, there are a few moves that have stood the test of time. Maybe you like a classic jig, or perhaps the percolator is more your style. But there is, however, one dance that gets people of all ages boogieing: the Moonwalk. It turns out YouTubers [...]

'The Daily Show' and 'Jimmy Fallon' Try Their Hand at the Harlem Shake

Emerald Catron — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 20:44:56 +0000

We thought it was dead. Apparently we were wrong. Jon Stewart and the rest of the staff at 'The Daily Show' have made their contribution to Harlem Shake mania. At least they've put a bit of an original spin on the trend. Plus you get to watch Jon Stewart dance.

Times Square Goes Nuts in 'Harlem Shake' Video

Kyle Dowling — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:00:11 +0000

Unless you've been living off the grid for the past couple of weeks, you're well aware that the Harlem Shake is officially the new 'Gangnam Style' or 'Call Me Maybe' of 2013. And with a lengthy, lengthy list of Shakes filling up the YouTube spots, the craze has finally made it's way home. Not necessarily to Harlem, but Times Square is close enough.

University of Georgia Men's Swim Team Takes 'The Harlem Shake' Underwater

Kyle Dowling — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:09:03 +0000

Are you ready for another Harlem Shake video? We hope so because the world is going bananas for these videos and they appear to keep on coming. And while they’ve all held some sort of fun factor, this one might be our favorite. Meet the University of Georgia Men’s Swim and Dive Team. These guys [...]

Watch 49 'Harlem Shake' Videos Happening at the Same Time

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 20:22:47 +0000

WARNING: If you suffer from seizures or the Harlem Shake fever, you might want to stand back and start dancing. YouTube culture appears to have been rejuvenated by the Harlem Shake videos taking over the internet. It seems every day we’re finding new footage of someone doing their version of the Shake — from firemen [...]

Even Grandmas Are Getting In on the 'Harlem Shake' Trend

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:53:02 +0000

Someone must've heard the world crying for a new phenomenon, because recently the internet has been set ablaze with fascination for the Harlem Shake. Videos of college campuses -- and now firemen -- performing their versions of the dance have ripped through our search engines and YouTube streams. Among them all, this one might be our favorite.

Now Firefighters Are Getting In on the 'Harlem Shake' Act

Emerald Catron — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 21:56:16 +0000

That Harlem Shake thing is really catching on. We hope it's the next 'Gangnam Style,' although that's mostly because these videos are only 30 seconds long. This version of the Harlem Shake features actual firemen in a fire truck. The thing we're left wondering though is

Everybody's Doing the Harlem Shake

Emerald Catron — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:12:58 +0000

Of all the things people make videos of themselves doing, we have to say this is probably our favorite. It's more entertaining than planking, and doing a Google image search for it isn't nearly as traumatizing as it was for milking. These days everybody's doing the Harlem Shake.

Awesome Traffic Reporter Boasts Best Dance Moves of 2012

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:27:46 +0000

We've said it several times before, and we'll say it again-- news reporters are awesome and super talented, in a variety of ways. So far the rapping weatherman tops our list as one of the coolest reporters around, but we recently discovered a dude who's giving him a run for his money. We'd like to introduce you to the most coordinated dancing traffic anchor around, Bob Herzog.

Obama Celebrates Re-Election With 'Pajama Dance'

Emerald Catron — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:05:07 +0000

We don't know what we'd do if we won a presidential reelection campaign. First would probably be to wonder how we even got elected the first time. THEN we would probably do something very much like this pajama dance, as depicted in this video from Ibish Comedy.

Celebrate Obama's Win With the Best GIF Ever

TheFW Staff — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 15:45:29 +0000

As you've no doubt heard, Barack Obama was elected to a second presidential term last night. We have a feeling he's feeling like this right now:

On a Lighter Note, a Ridiculous Pizza Commercial

Emerald Catron — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 23:02:31 +0000

Let’s all just pause and think about what we really want this election day. Pizza, right? Here’s a video excerpt from comedian Vincent Gargiulo’s film ‘KNFR From 7:00 – 7:30.’ We think this is probably one of the best songs ever written about pizza. It’s certainly the best dance accompanying a song about pizza ever. [...]

Teacher Owns Students in Dance Battle With Irish Jig

Donald Deane — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 13:15:39 +0000

It's been our experience that high school teachers generally frown upon pranks. But one teacher at Whitney Young High School in Chicago eagerly joined in when seniors staged an unauthorized dance battle. If only our teachers were this cool.

Awesome Baby Pops and Locks to Justin Bieber

Emerald Catron — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:23:08 +0000

This baby has got some serious moves, thanks to some help from her dad. It seems almost everybody is susceptible to “Bieber Fever.” This Baton Rouge tyke’s dad is also quite a dancer (without being controlled by a pair of giant hands). Maybe if she keeps it up someday, she’ll be able to dance like [...]

'Pink Flash Mob' Raises Breast Cancer Awareness Through Dancing

Emerald Catron — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:56:10 +0000

These guys really nailed the whole flash mob thing. Their dancing is synchronized. They didn’t use Cat Power for their soundtrack, opting instead for the survivor anthem ‘I Will Survie,’ and it’s for a good cause. OH! And there are some jazz squares tossed in there for good measure. Breast Cancer Awareness Level = Raised.

Dancing Pumpkin Man Is the Official Mascot of Halloween

Emerald Catron — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 15:34:10 +0000

It’s no secret that we love Halloween. Dare we say this is one of the greatest Halloween videos ever? While it’s lacking in Halloween-specific imagery and references, it *does* have a guy in a bodysuit wearing a pumpkin on his head and dancing. We’re guessing that’s the kind of dancing that comes with the freedom [...]

Klingons Rock Out in 'Star Trek' Parody of Gangnam Style

Kyle Dowling — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 20:15:16 +0000

Step aside Carly Rae Jepsen, the time of the 'Call Me Maybe' parodies is over. Enter the endless lampoons of 'Gangnam Style.' And what better way to achieve maximum viral impact than to get Trekkies into the mix?

North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-Un Takes Over Gangnam Style

Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:44:51 +0000

The video for the PSY song 'Gangnam Style' now has over 250 million views on YouTube and is the most "liked" clip in the video-sharing site's history. All this attention on the dance tune has really put K-pop and South Korea in the spotlight. This isn't sitting well with Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea. So, the dictator's recorded his own take on 'Gangnam Style,' called 'Kim Jong Style.'

R.I.P. LMFAO — Funny Videos to Remember Them By

Emerald Catron — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 21:45:21 +0000

Oh NO! What are we going to do!?! LMFAO has announced that they are going on a "hiatus" (yeah, that's what our parents said too), which means somebody else will have to step up to fill the void left behind at grocery stores that play inappropriately upbeat music. Let us remember these party monsters as they would have wanted -- by watching the comical videos they've inspired.

Groovy Robot is 'Stayin' Alive'

Emerald Catron — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:25:20 +0000

This is just delightful, as long as we can stifle our crippling fear and distrust of robots. Somebody noticed the ‘tude this guy’s got while walking in place, and gave him a little Bee Gees soundtrack. It makes it easier to imagine it in a Dreamworks animated movie and harder to imagine it kicking down [...]

This is Possibly the Most Adorable 'Thriller' Dance Ever

Emerald Catron — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 16:05:56 +0000

It almost looks like they’re going to do the ‘Thriller’ dance, but the little kids in this video can’t resist the opportunity to jump on the bed without getting in trouble. This is pretty much all you could hope to find on the internet in one day, all wrapped up in one video — toddlers [...]

'SNL' – PSY Rocks the LIDS Store

Lisa Bernier — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 18:16:13 +0000

Ah, so this is why we should shop at LIDS… you never know when PSY could show up and rock it, Gangnam style. First YouTube, then ‘Ellen‘ and now the ‘SNL’! PSY is clearly bent on conquering American airwaves. Last night he had a cameo on ‘SNL’s’ Lids skit, parodying his own music video ‘Gangnam [...]

Awesome Uncle Does Goofy Dance Every Time Niece Leaves

Emerald Catron — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 14:13:20 +0000

This guy is probably the best uncle in the world, for now at least. Every time his niece leaves his home, he dances her off … very, very poorly. His sister started recording him, and made this compilation of his wide range of moves. We’re thinking the butt slapping and spazz, er, jazz hands will [...]

'Pizza Dancing Guy' Is Back, Also Really Loves French Fries

Emerald Catron — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 20:35:06 +0000

You might remember a few months ago when this awesome dancing YouTube poster decided to let the world know how much they love pizza by eating it while dancing to Prince. Well, he's back and it seems he also really lov
