The Harlem Shake

[quinny88]

Anyone discovered this new phase?
Another viral internet craze that has blown up and become very popular very fast. I find it quite amusing.

For those who dont know, All it basically is - is a person dancing, usually with a helmet or mask on while the people around them seem to ignore it like they aren't there.. Then when the music drops everyone goes crazy dressed up in funny costumes etc. Its stupid but amusing none the less.

There are thousands of these videos surfacing on you tube.
Heres an example that the Hawthorn Football club put together

I actually don't mind it...

It's a good beat/song and it's almost the dance of those who can't dance (like myself).  :P

The story behind it is pretty cool too.

Haha man I had no idea it was a bunch of aussie teens that made the whole thing up. Its huge all over the world now!

Have you seen the reaction from the actual people from Harlem, where the real "harlem shake" move is from? its just a little shoulder move used by Harlem hip hop dancers. They are so cut about it hahaha

[Nige]

Yeah I heard about Harlem's reaction. This is sick though, it gives a 'dance' to do even though I can't dance.  ;D

Marines, Navy and all kind of places like that have done it too, it's a pretty cool thing to do for like 30 secs of one's time.  :P

Harlem shake could possibly be the least funny and stupidest internet meme of all time. OF ALL TIME. I have seen 10-15 of these via various media and have not had mouth movement at one millisecond of one video. -4/10
