You should definitely come join our dance party. It’s brought to you by Scandals and the Party Pros Mobile DJ Service, and it’s sponsored by Headlines Restaurants. Of course, as always, the hot dance mixes are kicked off and hosted by the area’s number one DJ, Dino Papastratis. So you know it’s gonna be good. Besides, it’s Friday! Did you wear your starch-pressed acid-wash denim and your nylon track-suit top for nothing? No way, Jose. Now come on, Jose, and join our dance party!
ARE YOU HAVING FUN? WHAT? I SAID, ARE YOU HAVING FUN? FUN! ARE YOU HAVING FUN? NEVERMIND, LET’S JUST KEEP DANCING, THIS IS MY SONG. I SAID THIS IS MY SONG. NEVERMIND! (Thanks for the dance party, Detroit Dutchgirl.)

I’m only coming if there’s going to be acid-washed video pizza!
That announcer was doing the verbal robot. Which was the craze in the early 90′s.
Um, so this is a dance party in my hometown of Springfield, MO in 2010. I’m not seeing the joke.
You always make me laff, but this one comment is upvotes x. infinity.

My bad
This is basically my DJ set. It hasn’t changed for a while.
After further review of this dance party… I don’t care if there’s video pizza, I am there!
My bangs are teased, my jean jacket is bleached… LETS. DO. THIS.
‘S … damn this no preview thing! This is basically a Grammar Police speed trap now…(double check it before you) click it or ticket, guys!
I tuck my sweatshirts into my jeans to this day. Because it’s sensible.
Dear Storm,
Can you get me an appointment with your hair stylist?
Follow-up question: Will you marry me?
Love always,
Superglue
So many potential boyfriends so little time
Why is this considered lame, but when Eric Wierham does this it’s considered genuis.
Who considers this lame? I think your comment says a lot more about you than it does about this dance party.
Who do I gotta talk to about moderating comments or whatever? I got a good set of dancing gifs just sitting here in the internet ether, awaiting moderation.
I had that happen to me too, earlier today. I think perhaps if you have more than one link in your comment than it has to wait for a moderator? But that’s just a guess.
Yeah, I put three gifs in one post. Probably a no no
So should I say screw moderation and repost them, one by (sorta funny) one?
It’ll probably be posted eventually? But in the future, probably yeah.
Unless the definition of lame was changed to “fucking awesome” in the last hour, you are wrong.
Is the guy with the neatly trimmed moustache and the parachute pants backing it up at around 1:05? Fresh!
Ultra fresh! These Rad Kittens are mad rockin’ their Parachutes and Overalls and cranking out Carlton worthy dance steps. Huzzah, Peeps!
Oh…being white and dancing is hard. This is why I NEVER dance near video cameras or open flames.
Watching this video is actually making me more confident about my dancing skills. Sure, I dance like a white girl, but at least I don’t dance like a white girl from 1991.
I remember 1991. I don’t remember it looking like this. This is more what 1985 looked like.
I like to imagine Kurt Cobain and a group of slutty cheerleaders lurking in the wings, ready to make their move.
that’s what i thought! i was convinced it was 1988 until they played “the power.”
I can’t see this video at work because early 90′s filter.
What are all those old people doing at my 8th grade dance? (p.s. that Information Society track is awesome, if you were wondering)
I didn’t pay attention to this video because once I hit play I turned up the volume and my friend and I did the Kid N’ Play dance.
The females look like pallid dandelions blowing in the wind.
I’m really surprised DJ Dino Papastratis couldn’t think of a more clever DJ Nickname.
Hmmm, DJ NIckname…. I like the sound of that. If anyone is a DJ and wants to use that they are more than welcome to it. Just tell ‘em “dUb-iLL Can Rock the Party” when you are on the mic.
How about DJ… DJ?
Ha, There is a guy in Philly that uses DJ DeeJay. I have also heard of a guy called DJ Tanner.
I think I would rock DJ Conner!

This is Pittsburgh circa 1993. We even had a nightclub called Headliners (located in a Mall that has since been turned into a strip mall….with an old country buffet…). One thing that will never change is bunch of girls on the dance floor, one guy on the dance floor that no girl will dance with, and a line of guys drinking beer watching said dance floor. Ahhh Pittsburgh nightlife.
pennsylvania can be the best some times. in my grandmother’s town, there was a show called “pennsylvania polka.” it was a half hour of elderly couples dancing to the music of the house band, stanky and the coalminers. i tried to look it up but all i could fine was one guy cursing about how old people are dumb and it sucks and it felt like he was personally insulting my grandmother.
In my small-town Pennsylvania high school, we had a polka competition that we all had to participate in. Funny thing is, it was cool to win. I remember being legitimately distraught when I took 3rd place.
I don’t know why I’m sharing this.
I hope that’s not what I look like when I dance. It’s not, right. RIGHT?
Aww… no. This is what you look like:
And
And I’m All like
That is what I look like.
and you see all those people staring?
it’s because I AM THE BEST!
And Your BF is all like
At least you don’t look like this:
i wish i was. that cat is smoooooth.
The only dance gif that is still missing is one of Jason Sudeikis in any What Up With That? skit.
(Consider this a challenge. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd go!)
Wow! I’m such a great dancer and I never knew!
You ALL wish you could look like this:
Strive for this:
In the future, we will all have dance parties simply by posting our hover gifs to a thread on the internet.
It is now the future, and this is your dance party.
It was bad enough that I wasn’t able to attend the last Monster party but to not even receive an invitation really sucks and to be honest hurts.
Anyway…looking good as always Monsters. You look different though Gabe. Still good. Just different.
DAMN. Beat me to it. That’ll teach me not to refresh directly before I comment. You’re right though, Gabe’s fade haircut is lookin’ good.
The Storm seems like the guy who looks creepy and like kind of an asshole so no one talks to him but then you are forced to talk to him one day because held a door for you or something and it turns out he is a normal nice guy and then you guys probably go to Scandals.
I knew I should have gone to the Videogum Pizza Party. It looks so fun.
Ah, my second similar comment at the same time this week; great minds and what not. There is one noticeable difference though: DJ Dino Papastratis has nothing on DJ Amrit…
I wasn’t at the Videogum Pizza Party, but I’m assuming this is exactly what it was like.
All the women look like fatter versions of Andy Mcdowell
That must have been quite a coup for them, getting the actor who played David Silver’s geeky friend Scotty on BH90210 to show up, more or less in costume. This would have been around the first season when he was still on the show and a megastar.
That black dude is so pissed his latino girlfriend brought made him rep that spot on a Saturday night.
The more I watch this (and I have watched it a couple times now), the more it looks like a charity dance-a-thon instead of a fun-times dance party.

I play in a cover band in central/northern NJ that plays primarily 70′s/80′s stuff and I’m pretty sure every gig we play is this dance party with the same people, only aged by 19 years.
So, my wife and I go to this roller rink here in town from time to time. We are in our mid-thirties and about thirty-two years older than almost everyone else. Only the guy with the moustache and religious sweatshirt is older.
Sometimes, if we go right after work, I am still in my suit.
The place is called Funky’s and what we’ve found though is that mostly what kids do now at a roller rink is stand in the middle and dance, listlessly, to Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em. Once, there was a child, probably three years old, standing watching a girl, probably twelve years old, slow grind to E-40.
We are usually also the only people there not on a cell phone. There is an Aerosmith video game where you shoot at some bank robbers or soldiers. I don’t quiet get it, but I don’t quiet get Aerosmith.
What I’m saying is, the above video is how we grew up and how we still are inside. Most of the peopel we have in our social circle, college professors, lawyers, etc., don’t understand why we go roller skating or hang out at the mall. They want to talk about wine or NPR. I guess they don’t understand the human heart too well though.
I love that you go to the roller rink QUITE a lot.
do you use roller skates? is it as fun as it was in the early ’90s when everyone had rollerskating parties and it was the funnest ever (in 1991 my friends were under 10)? Because rollerskating was always better than bowling, which is the only stupid activity anyone wants to do anymore, and I can’t find any skating rinks around here anyway, which is ultra-lame, and I mean all of this completely sincerely.
You can do both, anyway. You can enjoy wine and NPR, and love to roller skate! People are multi-dimensional!
Yes, we wear rollerskates. Real ones made of ratty, multi-colored leather that have been sprayed with that spray; real ones that have large, pink wheels on the bottom in sets of two like a pick-up truck; real ones that make it difficult to life your legs.
Our roller rink is behind a Wendy’s, a non-denominational church that specializes in “contemporary praise” and a cajun restaurant that used to be an indian restaurant but still just looks like a bank.
Once, we went on Tuesday not realizing it was BINGO night. The warped and worn floor was filled with folding tables of olds.
I think the only reason I will ever shop at Goodwill from now on is to find that Grafitti Gear denim jacket with Juiced-Up Garfield on the back. (7:09)
As a more serious observation, I want to know who thought to record such a great dance party?! Was this someone with such astute foresight he/she was able to predict the advancement in internet video technology and think, “Someday, there will be a pop culture/trampoline accident online blog on the worldwide web that will NEED this video to bring joy and delight to it’s readers from around the globe… Yes, I will definitely set my Betamax to RECORD!”
OR
Is this just DJ STORM sitting in his mom’s basement converting his old betas to digital form and uploading them to youtube so he can relive his glory days forever and ever until 2012…?
If you look it up on Youtube (which I did so I could send the link to my best friend since we went to a “club” just like that in Western MA in high school – and this was a few years before this video but I can assure you we heard “You Spin Me Round” many a time there) it says something like this clip is a shorter version of a 30 minute TV show.
Are they being ironic? I think its actually 2010 and they’re being ironic.
They were actually listening to You Say Party! We Say Die! but just dubbed over 90′s music for the video.
The only difference between the dance parties of 2010 and 20 years ago is irony, which, as a concept, didn’t exist 20 years ago I guess?
This raises an interesting question: is bad taste better or worse when it’s sincere?
sincerity is always better.
I am thrilled my tip made it to post, because this dance party made my day today.
Everything about this video is pure awesome. Pegged jeans! Wedge haircut! Hammer pants! Teased side ponytail! Blazers over sweaters! Graffiti airbrushed overalls! Lipsynching to SNAP!
1991 + STORM, FTW!
This was EXACTLY what I needed to get “He Drinks Tequila” out of my head/heart.
Thank god i was too young to dress myself or do my own hair back then. The fashions really make me shudder. i’m going to be sorry when we start reminiscing over videos from raves though!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The commitment involved in your inquiry is encouraging.
But this Scandals was in Upstate New York not Maryland
How embarrassing–this is totally what I do. And it is really, really fun.
I would join the dance party, but dancing always makes my pinch-rolls come loose.
“Without further ado” should be the next Videogum meme!
I certainly hope that Party Pros Mobile DJ Service are teamed up Surgery Pros Mobile Hospital Service for when this video throws me into an epileptic seizure.
I love the girl at around 3:40 realizes she’s being filmed and does not want. And do you think when they edited the film they cut her out? Nope. Just filmed the back of her head for a good 10-15 secs.
Gettin’ jiggy with it!
How the hell do you post pics now?
“We can take our clothes off, if you know what I mean!” The Storm, king of the single-entendres!
The grain of that faux-wood tile is funky-fresh!
Well that brought back memories. A scant year later, 1/1/92, my daughter and husband-at-the-time broke out in pustules. Chicken pox, to be exact. The night before, on New Year’s Eve, the ex and I were at a huge dance party, about 100,00 people give or take a few. ALL of whom were exposed to the pox by the ex.
oh man I LOVE a videogum dance party. I don’t even remember half of this, I was so amped up on dexitrim, fro yo, and mad dog 20/20 (oh also cornuts, doy), my bff aimee had to drag me out of her mom’s Pinto and now I’m grounded, but wow does this look like we had fun. This is the best thread ever, guys. Seriously these gifs are kicking internet ass. We survived the redesign! Ahhh, come in for a hug, monsters!
DJ Snufalufagus is a consummate professional.
