Watch it all. Every drop.

At first you assume that this is just another surreptitiously recorded video of a man making a fool of himself in a public setting. “Surely,” you think, “it is only a matter of time before he gets naked and tazed.” But that is not what this is. What this is is a reminder that we all hold within our tiny shorts the power to change the world. All it takes is one man carrying the torch of the party alone with grit and determination, to START A FIRE! Let’s paint, exercise, and have an impromptu dance party. We can do it all! (Thanks for the tip, Michael.)

  3. I love you Sasquatch

  4. it’s just like when patrick dempsey introduced the african anteater ritual dance to the cool kids in can’t buy me love.

  5. This was my bad y’all–too many little green pills that day. Thought I was at Eminem’s house.

  6. Kahdooz to everyone in this video! Wish I was there.

  7. If that’s not a Dance Dance Revolution, I don’t know what is.

  8. I love that woman at the end yelling “HOW DID HE DO THAT?!” It’s the power of dance lady.
    And beerz. Let’s not forget beerz. The guy in red at 2:17 knows what I’m talking about.

    • Everything is fake
      No seriously what are you talking about
      A bunch of happy kids at an outdoor concert in the northwestern region of the United States start to dance together? This doesn’t seem plausible to you?

        i was just waiting for a carefully-placed pepsi can at the end of the video. the internet’s made me so cynical.

          My thoughts too. Somewhere there is a Mountain Dew ad exec who needs the rights to a big beat song and a greener light.

      • It’s true, I can tell you by experience that Washington is to frenzy dancing like Muhammad Ali is to boxing. Adequate.

  12. This video made me smile all over. :)

  13. Can’t wait for the movie adaptation about this.

  15. That’s great! I wish I were uninhibited enough to dance like nobody’s looking when everyone is looking.

  16. Now whenever people ask me why I lose hundreds of dollars and five pounds to go to Coachella every year I’m just going to show them this video. MIRACLES DO HAPPEN AT MUSIC FESTS.

    • Except at Sasquatch you have impromptu dancing circles, at Coachella you have small peened wizards getting tazed. Pacific Northwest what what.

      • the coachella version of this is a 500 person game of telephone. first line: who’s got the coke?

        the pitchfork version is just a bunch of strangers huddling together shivering because it’s FUCKING CHICAGO and they manage to hold pitchfork on the 3 coldest days of summer every year.

  17. I thought the dancing man was part of the Verizon network

    this is basically the hipster susan boyle

  19. That man is a shepard.

  20. Part of me is insprired to actually join society now, while another part of me is :( that this really began because the first guy/two guys were just making fun of him. It was like a big making fun of him party. :(

    • i think the fact that it started out mean spirited and then became a genuine impromptu group dance party is what makes it so awesome.
      it’s like the power of everyone else unabashedly flocking to one totally joyful solo dancing guy completely exorcised all the snark out of the video.

  21. Mr. Beer Gut made me smile.

  22. DANCE, HIPSTERS, DANCE!!!!

    these are all my boyfriends and girlfriends. we’re polyamorous.

    also, I would like to roll down that hill.

  23. also, what’s the street name for what that first guy’s got in his system – we need to weaponize it, STAT!

  24. oh my gosh, i smiled through this whole thing.

  25. Dance party critical mass: 5 people
    Now you know, it’s Mike’s super short show!

  26. Replace current music with Polyphonic Spree, and you’ve just made their newest music video.

    Becca –

    Have you been to Pitchfork? Because the first three years it was hotter than Dan Deacon’s ballsack in hipster jeans.

  28. PadMcSham  |   Posted on Jun 3rd, 2009

    Whats the name of the song in the vid?

  29. Maybe Lollapalooza will have throngs of dancers getting tazered?
    (See the analogy?)

  31. this post totally wins my monster’s ball contest for this week.
    the title, the heart-warmth, the surprise turn around of the movie itself…
    save this one for your reel, gabe, because it’s solid blogging gold.
