I've seen this exact video previously, maybe a couple weeks ago, with an entirely different song (which also wasn't funk). And I'm pretty sure I've also seen it a year or more ago, perhaps even with a third song (which also wasn't funk).

Do people not know what funk is anymore?

Clearly, Dr. Funkenstein needed a few more clones.

I used to know what funk is, but then they changed what funk was. Now what I know isn't funk, and what's funk seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

Mayhaps production of a proper funky robot requires all five fingers on each hand?

I also first saw this with a different song dubbed over, and it's kind of ruined the original for me. The animation is still great, but it's like watching someone slap an anvil with wet toilet paper.

You guys, where is this "other song" version that you keep mentioning?

Also, I found this pretty entertaining overall.

I think this is the other one that I saw recently. And like I said before, I have a really strong feeling that I've seen the video a long time ago. I definitely saw it before the time I saw it recently.

It's likely that the OP is the original source of this video, as a Reddit post from a few days ago links to another copy of the 'Funk Overload' video that was taken down by DMCA request from SLOC.

Krusty the Clown: What the hell was that?

(I lol'd!) That was what was once known as Baile Funk, currently mutating into something called Funk Ostentação!
