Harlem Shake

Oh, I don't know what a Harlem Shake is...

Some odd guy is...

Oh, okay then...

What are they doing?!

There's always like a naked guy, just somewhere...

hidden in there, there's a naked guy.

At least put some pants on, dude!

That's funny.

Again?!

I like his mask.

He has a horsey head...

A computer person, wearing a horse and dancing?!

(Sings) And do the Harlem Shake!

I thought these were business people...

Yeah, normal work day.

I love these videos, they're great.

How many are there?

Oh, this is the best one.

Attention, do the Harlem Shake.

What if this was real and they were actually doing this...

on the battlefield?

What? Aren't these people like in the army or something?

What the heck are those boys doing in that blanket?

(Laughs)

My side is hurting.

I just don't understand...

Shamu gonna come out of somewhere?

Oh yeah, I watched this one... This is pretty funny.

All are pretty funny.

It's coming! It's coming!

Oh my God, they even had a walrus!

This is horrifying! What even is that?

Oh! A seal!

What..? What? What?

And why are they shirtless, some of them?

That's such a weird-looking walrus.

Ah! (Chuckles)

Really?

Is that you, guys?

That's you!

There I am! Right there!

Look, it's me right there!

This one really sucks, you can already tell.

What?!

What are you guys doing?

I'm like... Right... Right behind the plant...

How did I miss this shebang?

I couldn't make it to that...

I was really sad.

Oh, why did you do that?

Oh my God!

(Laughs)

Okay...

(Laughs again)

Okay. Have you seen Harlem Shake videos before?

No.

No.

No.

Yeah.

Everyone at school is doing them... like in the science room...

Just everywhere.

No...

And I wish I hadn't...

Why do they call them the Harlem Shake?

Because everyone's shaking?

The song says it?

Because the guy who invented it was named Harlem?

What is Harlem?

Do you know what Harlem is?

No.

No.

No.

I have no idea...

It's a prison, or it's a very bad neighborhood?

Harlem is a city in New York.

Isn't it like a place in New York or something?

Do you like Harlem Shake videos?

Yeah, they're really entertaining.

I liked the part where they were dancing.

I think it's kind of funny, specially ours.

I think they're all yucky!

It was very weird. It was awkward.

When things go viral, you can get sick of them sometimes...

Why is this something that people see and go, "I have to make this myself."?

Most people think it's funny... Like... Did you see me?

I was just... Uh... I couldn't even breath.

It's like planking. It's like you gotta be part of the new thing.

To get so many views.

Maybe this is easy or something...

It's like, easy to make.

You just have to dance basically, crazy, and then...

You need a naked guy, which is easy...

How long do you think the Harlem Shake has been around?

Uh, two or three weeks, maybe?

Not that long, it looks pretty new.

The videos have only been around a little while...

But the Harlem Shake dance has been around for over 30 years.

Wow. Really?

So, why is it popular now?

So now I have another video, that shows you how to do...

the Harlem Shake.

Oh gosh...

Hmm... Okay...

(Video) And we're going to learn the Harlem Shake...

Uh-uh...

(Video) You're gonna go here, here, alright, get used to that...

Here...

(Video) Boom, boom, boom...

(Video) Alright, now we're gonna do the same thing, but we're gonna do a double shake before we...

Oh, this is getting complicated now.

(Video) Shot, shot, boom!

Tap, tap, boom...

(Video) Now, let's have the hands here... Notice? Look at that.

Here...

(Video) Boom, boom, bop!

Boom, boom, bop!

That's like my dance teacher, she has to have different...

sounds for each move.

(Video) And we'll try out what you've learned.

Oh, I wanna try, yeah.

That's my version.

(Video) Boom, boom, boom, boom, bop! Then, shoulder, shoulder. Ah!

Oh, now he's just adding stuff... I can't keep up with this...

Were all the Harlem Shake videos doing the proper...

Harlem Shake dance?

No.

No.

No.

Not at all.

What do you think the people from Harlem or the dancers...

that do the Harlem Shake think about this?

Not good.

They probably hate it.

They're like, "Why you no do this dance?"

It could go extinct...

And how many Harlem Shake videos do you think have been made?

There's more?!

30?

Around 80?

1,000?

Is it over 9,000?

There's been over 50,000 so far.

Wow!

Oh my God...

Oh M God...

How is it 50,000? I mean, in just this month?

What do you wanna say to someone that wants to make...

a new Harlem Shake video?

Do it!

Keep 'em coming! They're interesting.

That's enough.

Everybody's sick of the Harlem Shake. Make, like, a new dance...

Stop it! Now! If you make one more video, I will pull your...

brains out, and feed your liver to my dogs.

If you were in one of these videos, and it was time to...

dance crazy, what is your craziest dance move?

No.

I don't wanna do it... I'm just too afraid... I'm not... I'm not...

I'm not gonna do it... I'm not... No dance for me, because...

I don't wanna do the dance.
