Funnily enough, this reminds me of another Nicki Minaj song: “I’m the Best.” (Thanks for the tip, werttrew and Ian.)

    • I’m pretty new here and am not sure how the Videogum community feels towards Apple, so I’m going to wait to see how your comment is voted before I make a formal response.

    • No! Watch the video! This kid is an honourary monster, because he is amazing!

    • My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is 12 years older than me, lol. We met online at A’geM’ing’le. com The premiere online community for older women seek younger men or older men seek younger women to meet and share your interests. Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? Leave behind the other general dating sites out there and try us.

  2. The 1:31 mark made me very uncomfortable.

  3. That damn dancing kid keeps distracting me from shooting my “IS THAT WHAT YOU KIDS ARE WEARING TODAY?!?!” old-person sneer at the girl behind him with the knitted bear hat.

    • I’ve seen many adults in my neighborhood wearing those things. GROWN ADULTS! WEARING THIS SHIT! AT BARS, EVEN! Sometimes they even wear fucking tails with them.

      Sometimes I hate Portland.

      • That is a furry (Like James Durbin), they are the WORST. Also a furry went to my roommates high school and his name was Phil Collins. LOL

      • I have seen grown-ass men wearing them around town (the only iota of defence they have is that at least I’ve seen then worn in actual toque weather), and I just want to scream “WHERE YOUR BALLS AT?”

  4. “I’m so embarrassed for him.” – Girl in bear hat

  5. Dear Girl Standing Behind this Awesome Kid:

    Stop looking all askance at him like that. He totally makes those glasses and the funny dance work for him. Your raccoon hat on the other hand…

    • Today’s ESPN top story: “The Hammer is My Penis” places an embarrassing third in the “Race to Make a Bear/Raccoon Hat Joke” Videogum semifinals.

      In other sports news, Wichita bested Sioux City in an epic clash of Kronum titans…”

    • I was thinking the same thing. Ugh. All the repressed unpopular-kid memories are coming out and wanting to yell at that girl. She’s wearing a fucking rat for a hat.

  6. “UGHHH he is soooooo immature.” – girl in fuzzy cat hat and 4x too much makeup

  7. So he has a series of videos but for some reason he introduces all his other ones, and it totally kills the joy of just thinking that this kid just went to the apple store and decided to dance to Nicki Minaj

  8. Does anyone else think that kids today could do with a little less self-confidence?

  9. haha. “There you go” is what I’m going to say every time I stop someone from doing what they love from now on.

  10. The worst:

    Girl in Bear Hat?
    Or
    Irish kid with Dreads?

  11. bear/racoon hat 4 life

  12. “I’d Hit That.” – Girl in Bear Hat

  13. The Bear Hat girl need to chill with the judgment. Girl, you’re wearing a bear hat!

  14. Side note: Did anyone else think, “Oh, huh, young boy knows and enjoys the Buggles. Good for him, branching out and……oh, wait a sec. Ugh, I’m getting old.”?

  15. That kid just made my day a thousand times shinier.

    • Comment on youtube: “He’s my favourite gay who doesn’t know they’re gay yet”.
      Response: See, as a member of team gay I totally would be stoked if this kid is on our team. But as a member of humanity wouldn’t it be just awesome if his amazing dance moves/face was totally straight and that we were building this amazing world where everyone was just full of this level of happiness-inducing mania and it was completely irrelevant what their sexual preference was? I mean. Wouldn’t it? *whistles ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ and walks into the sunset*

  16. I don’t really get all the hatred of the bear hat. If it’s not your thing, so what. The only reason the hat confuses me is because she is wearing it inside and during what appears to be a warm season given the attire of her friends.

    Hating on her because she is a hater is understandable, but then making fun of her hat seems to negate that sentiment.

    Downvote away!

    • Given your “If it’s not your thing, so what,” mentality, I’m not sure Videogum is really your sort of thing. But so what? Carry on!

      • Point taken, but I’ve always seen videogum as generally anti-hater. Sure we point out the absurd, but it usually seems celebratory as seen in the “We Should All Be So Lucky As To Find Something In This World That Makes Us Happy” series. That’s one of the many reasons I like this place. So I’m not leaving. :)

        • Awww, kittensmash. I totally get your point. I’m generally in favor of those who are earnest and honest in their enjoyment of something, which is why not many people are hating on the kid who’s actually dancing. It’s just really easy to make fun of the girl who is sneering at the boy like “I can’t believe he is making a fool of himself like that” when she is a) obviously coming off as a hater, and b) wearing a silly hat that she’ll look back on with embarrassment.

          • I guess to put it in a clearer way, I don’t think anyone would have said anything negative about the hat if she were wearing the hat while also dancing and having fun, like a kid. Instead she just looks like a kid who thinks she’s too adult to have fun.

          • I was being earnest in my original comment, fwiw. I still love all the monsters! Hugs all around!

    • I see it as a blatant cry for attention. It’s manufactured, artificial uniqueness that isn’t actually unique. It’s the headwear equivalent of a tall bike.

      • What uniqueness ISN’T manufactured and artificial? A third nipple?

      • I work with teenagers, and I’ve found that defining the difference between those who wear something “to be different”/”cry for attention” versus those that just genuinely follow their own sense of style isn’t as easy at it seems. This is true for adults too, but teens are an easier target. I am probably overly sensitive to this issue as a mentor and as someone who had an atypical fashion sense as a teen. #nohaterade

      • Feral children are unique, but maybe not in a good way. Schizophrenics too.

      • Whereas the kid in the blue horn-rimmed glasses and 42 youtube videos with a Fred Figglehorn vibe, we’re cheering him on, right?

    • We return her sneer mostly because she is a hater, but also because she’s pretentious and ridiculous while being a hater. The hat is a trend, you see. I’ve seen stupid people wearing them. She it’s not just “her thing.”

      Plus she and her terrible friends (let’s not be forgetting that her friends are also terrible, regardless of hatlessness!) seem like huge bitches, so it’s fair game.

    • Hatter’s gonna hat

    • i actually made a bear hat a few years ago so all the hate of the hat makes me sad. granted, she is mean, but i do like her hat.

    • It’s not really hatred. If we’re going to comment on an internet video of a kid looking slightly disapprovingly at a younger kid dancing, whilst looking kind of silly herself, there’s only so much disapproval you can direct at her before you realize that you’re the one wearing the bear hat.

  17. Hey, did anybody notice the girl with the bear hat? It’s pretty subtle, I’ll bet none of you even saw it before I pointed it out just now!

  18. Everyone needs to stop stealing this kid’s shine. He is GETTING IT! This video is nothing but awesome (unless of course it is inauthentic in some way e.g. and older hipster parent is directing behind the screen, or he is an Andy Milonakis child adult)

  19. Ugh, what’s with the girl in the Donna Darko hat?

  20. remember when John Hodgman used to be in Apple ads? I mean, those were a little annoying (thanks, Justin Long), but this just seemed a little sloppy and unprofessional.

  21. I can’t believe I’m the first person to comment on that silly hat the girl is wearing!!!

  22. I just watched a 12 year old kid do pelvic thrusts… which way to jail?

  23. this video is awesome. no sarcasmgum.

  24. this kid doesn’t give a fuck in all the best ways.

  25. Those background girls have got to be the shittiest back-up dancers I’ve ever seen.

  26. I think the bear hat is distracting everyone from the wedgie pickage at 1:09….
    and i agree…anytime I’m about to ruin someone’s fun, i believe a good hearty “There ya go” is in order.

  27. okay i’m gonna be honest, i work in an apple store and the youtube dancers are sooooo freaking annoying. borrow a friends iphone, why is this a trend,GET OUT MY STORE!
