Harlem Shake
 
Well, I guess Gungnam Style has finally met its match with this new craze: HARLEM SHAKE.

Let's post here youtube vids of GLOs doing the Harlem Shake; first up are the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha, UTK chapter:

When I first saw this on reddit a few days ago, I was like ppffft, wasn't that cool in like 2002? Then I figured out it's not quite the same concept. I still don't get it.

ETA: Ok, this was legit the first one to make me laugh

Proving once again that white boys can not dance... especially the one running around with his pants around his knees :rolleyes:

Oh come on, that was about the only funny thing in that video.

But I don't get it.

Isn't this just pelvic thrusting? What makes that new?

I can understand why that guy with the helmet on is wearing it!

It's just a lot of flailing around.

Brings to mind a horrible experience I had at a wedding once. A very handsome man asked me to dance (I love to dance); I was so excited! We got out on the floor, great music, I'm thinking "oh yeah, this is gonna be great, I love this song, this guy is so handsome"; whereupon he proceeded to do a combination of jerking, jumping, drowning moves and seizure-like movements, shaking himself wildly and throwing himself around in a manner which essentially made the entire room fall silent. I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me.

Needless to say he didn't get another dance partner the entire night, and I did not accept any more dance invitations from anyone.

Sort of like Elaine's office party dance on Seinfeld?

That would have been an improvement over what I experienced. But in that genre, yes.

Not a GLO, but 11 players got kicked off my alma mater's football team for their version.

They just did one at DG Institute, the big leadership training for collegiate officers. The video is pretty funny :)

I think the Marines have the best ones.

I kind of want to be in one of those videos, but actually do the Harlem Shake

AZTheta 02-17-2013 07:44 PM

I read something funny that made me laugh: "it should be called the Suburban Seizure."

happilyanchored 02-18-2013 01:45 AM

Our chapter just made one to begin our Anchorsplash PR campaign! It was so much fun :)

ASTalumna06 02-18-2013 02:33 AM

I think most of these are pretty dumb, but I did find this one entertaining:

It's amazing how many other sports teams are doing their versions of HARLEM SHAKE....and these poor guys are the only ones that get in trouble for it.

The best one has been made. Close/lock the thread, we're done here.

I admit, I think the proliferation of harlem shake videos have jumped the shark. Kinda like the "Call Me Maybe" videos did earlier last year.
