Some of us were out of town last week, could have been any of us, really, almost impossible to say with certainty, but so for those of us who were out of town, and again, there’s no need to point fingers because you’re pointing other fingers back at yourself I think and also what if you’re pointing at the wrong person (since we’ve already established that it is VERY hard to know who was and was not here last week) and we live in a country where you are here until proven out of here (what is even going on? Are we already that far off the rails? Yes) but so again, like I was saying, for those of us who were out of town, although maybe none of us were out of town now that we are talking about it, I mean, pics or it didn’t happen, you know? I’m not even sure who brought up the whole “out of town” thing in the first place. Is this some kind of a witch hunt? Is that what this is? Are these the Salem witch hunt crucibles?! But so for those of us, if there even were any of us, which at this point I’m starting to suspect there weren’t, but if there were any of us who were out of town, those people, if they even exist, could be forgiven for returning to their computers and wondering if maybe things had changed while they were gone and if maybe the Internet was even just a little bit different or unfamiliar like maybe it had become a kinder place, or a more thoughtful place, or had relaxed a little bit, or they might have just been curious about what they would find when they got back in a general way, no real expectations. Only to see this video of a little Asian boy dancing to Christina Aguilera’s “Burlesque,” like with the whole outfit (fishnets even!) and the “sex face” and everything and realized, oh right, here we are. We are right back here.
Welcome back to all of us equally. (Via BuzzFeed. Thanks for the tip, Robert.)

Welcome back, Gabe! I hope you had a GREAT vacation. And I REALLY mean that. Not at all bitter that you didn’t even ask me if I wanted to be a guest blogger last week. Even though I am currently LOOKING FOR WORK WRITING. And even though I have PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE as a PAID, PROFESSIONAL BLOGGER. And even though you once wrote an article about something that I WAS PRETTY MUCH BEEN THE INSPIRATION FOR, meaning that I have more or less indirectly PROVIDED YOU WITH MATERIAL. And I also moved to Grand Rapids and OFFERED TO BRING TAMALES TO YOUR GRANDMA. But nah, I’m not bitter at all! Really!
Cam’ron’s Jazz gear just makes me want to talk about the all-star weekend… anyone? anyone? #sportsgum
Well, I am actually going to be out of town again in a few weeks, so maybe if you complain some more you will get your shot! LOL JK XOXOX I LOVE YOU WELCOME BACK.
Not to bribe you or anything, but if I DO get to be a guest blogger, it is entirely feasible that I could explain to you the unrevealed origins of the Morgan Freeman Dress-Up game, which I accidentally came up with the idea for, which is how I found Videogum in the first place. And I’ll still bring your grandma some tamales.
“And I’ll still bring your grandma a tamale which, as it happens, is my grandma.”
Bloggers nust get vacation time based on French work weeks?
no way bro, me too!
Hows about I cover your blog while you’re gone and then you cover my blog while I’m gone? Deal? Deal.
An American Patriot? Is that you?
Never forget.
Where is An Am Pat?
I can’t remember.
la-le-li-le-lo
“I remember when facetaco discovered sarcasm” -the 2nd grade
AnAmericanTaco?
Nevermind. Sorry DSN, you know great minds think alike, probably.
Little Asian Boys Dancing to Christina Aguilera The Darndest Things……
The funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time is the idea that anyone on the internet might relax. Good one.
Jeez, people hate jokes about relaxing. RELAX!
Aw man, and I just got out of jail for seeing Never Say Never. See you in three to six years, you guys!
I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that it took me about five minutes to remember what the heck Never Say Never is. At first I was trying to remember if it was some terrible rom com.
Listen, guys. I didn’t want you all to be mad because you weren’t invited, but I know where Gabe was last week. He was busy doing me the honor of officiating my wedding, so cut him a little slack. OK?
Congratulations R2. I know someone who is going to be disappointed.
When I looked at this picture I focused on the officiant and said to myself, “Hey, is that D’Hoffryn?” Because OF COURSE a demon from the Buffyverse would be officiating a wedding between a lady and a Star Wars robot.
Alright, I’ll see you later videogum. I have to go to jailgum for watching this video and I do not get to collect my $200 for passing Go. Short lived game of Monopolygum this week.
Fun fact: if you want to annoy a board game nerd, tell them how much you like Monopoly. They hate Monopoly so much, those board game nerds! It’s the equivalent of telling a comic book nerd that the Ghostbusters could kick Dr. Manhattan’s ass, or going into Stereogum and saying that Blink 182 invented punk.
But I love Monopoly and Disney’s Scene It! Doesn’t that make me more cultured in the ways of Board Games? By the way best board game ever….Family Business. Mafia game. So great.
Elvis invented rock and roll.
That’s ludicrous. Green Day invented punk.
Yeah, and then Avril Lavigne totally redefined the genre. I mean, come on.
Facetaco, I love the fact that you know enough about board game nerds to know that they hate Monopoly. Are you a nerd connoisseur? That would be awesome if so.
I am a nerd nerd. A metanerd, if you will. The only nerdy subject I have large amounts of knowledge on is the nerds themselves.
You sir, are truly living the dream.
Let me check the nerdcionary…Yup, “metanerd” is, without a doubt, the nerdiest word ever nerded.
Duh. You’re a Monster.
I didn’t invent punk, but I certainly perfected it. Long live The Clash!
Sure, you posted a video from Burlesque, but where is the Little Asian Boy you’re talking about?
I look at this and I see Christina Aguilera with a pixie cut.
Hope your vacation was just peachy.
This can’t be Christina Aguilera. Dude got the words right.
ZING!
Huckabeast, you are beautiful. In every single way.
But words won’t keep Xtina down.
applepiehubbub and huckabeast….I truly appreciated you two….its not often that you see a comment thread of only Henson.
Aww man, I don’t know about this new guest blogger. I hope Gabe gets back soon.
I miss thisismynightmare.
By the way….anyone else still taken aback because of the personal views of our idol, Justin Bieber, that emerged this weekend? And yes he is an idol to ALL OF US! Things happen for a reason!
Is anybody really surprised by his views? I would expect him to be anti-abortion, considering he is #literally still a fetus.
I was actually pretty impressed that he was mindful enough to say “Yeah I mean I guess I’m against abortion, but I have no real opinion on it because I’m a fucking kid and a boy and I’ve never had to deal with it in any sort of real scenario. Ask me again in 10 years.” That’s pretty much word for word what he said.
Du Jour means twisting interviews to make Justin Bieber look like a douchebag….
(I will be the happ-y-est if anyone catches that reference)
I thank god everyday I knew the words to Enter Sandman.
Justin Bieber is totally jerkin’.
Wasn’t it actually kind of the opposite? He said he thinks it’s, like, killing a baby and is theoretically, but when the issue of abortion after rape came up he said that he hasn’t been in that kind of situation, so he can’t really judge. He SHOULD have said he has no idea what real life is like, because he has lived sheltered for most of his life and doesn’t even fucking know what German means, but I guess his mediatraining failed in this instance.
That being said, at least we got a decent meme out of it.
I feel kind of accomplished somehow for not hearing about his views on things. What, was this like in that Rolling Stone cover he did?
It was in that Rolling Stone thing, though it should be noted in the interest of editorial fairness, they released a correction after the story ran saying they “fucked up” some “editing” and made him sound more like a dick than he should have.
Didn’t he also say that America is evil (because of health care), and somehow Sarah Palin hasn’t called for his immediate keelhauling?
Why was Rolling Stone even asking Justin Bieber about abortion, she wondered? Are they basing their interview questions completely on search engine optimization at this point?
I actually just feel kind of bad for him. If at 15-years-old (or whatever baby age he is) someone had stuck a microphone in my face and asked for my political opinion and then published the crap out of it so that my ill-formed thoughts were now etched into i-eternity using indelible e-ink… My face would now be stuck in a permanent cringe. Wait until he has his first pregnancy scare, then ask him.
Glee has really gone off the deep end this time.
I have the weirdest….. desire to watch Burlesque now.
Oh, man. I am so happy you found this. I was going to submit it as a tip last week, but by the time I had copied and pasted the URL into an e-mail, YouTube had taken down the video! I guess we really ARE going to jail, but at least Metacafe is coming with us.
what is even going on with my internet. the page won’t load completely and continues to pan up top the top of the page at regular intervals, never loading completely. I blame that little dancing elephant fucker in that side ad. I won’t- oh. It’s stopped.
FUCK. Now I can’t remember what my joke was. Something about Nathaniel Hawthorne? Scarlet O (for Out-of-Town?). SIGH
Welcome back, Gabebraham Delahaye!
Welcome back, Gabe!
Of note: This picture and today are literally Welcome-Back-Kotter-GUM!
This is my monday morning face.
Who the heck helped this kid out!?
More importantly, what is the brand? Sony “My First Pair of Fishnets”?
He’s asian…I’m sure he had his unlimited supply of robots and technological genius to work the camera while he worked it.
Maybe Timmy’s mom is running a youtube studio in her kitchen for little boys who want to be performing The Hitz while dressed inappropriately dressed for public consumption?
My family frequently mocks me with a photo of 5-year-old me playing with my sister’s My Little Pony toys. I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m so lucky.
There are fishnet stockings for kids?! That is all I’m comfortable pondering about in this video.
Oh, heck yes. Deal with this: http://www.heelarious.com/index.php. High heels for infants. The world has come to its logical endpoint.
Blurgh. Meant that to be a reply to laughingcake.
Who else was surprised when the video went epileptic? Who else laughed when he realized that it was just someone turning the lights on and off instead of actual strobe lights?
i think its safe to say gabe was away last week

That kid looks too young to be losing bets.
Thanks, kid–you just saved me 12 bucks on a movie ticket. (Yes, Burlesque is still in theaters here in Outback BFE.)
