Marlon Webb and his friends want to start a movement. A very unusual movement.

I'm a little disappointed by his friends' performance.

This made me feel joyful in a time of feeling very low. Thank you for posting this today.

That is pretty delightful. It's almost like a machinima come to life, what with the distorted faces and deliberate, syncopated jerkiness.

This is like a live action going to the store

That's like the stop animation from Monty Python....

Oh god, this reminds me of that insane weebly stop-motion thing (no better description because I almost completely blocked it from my horrified mind...)

Now I want to see a re-make of the video done in pencil-style animation.

"I'm a little disappointed by his friends' performance."

He's definitely got the best moves.

Oh my god. My son does this all the time. In the house. This is adorable and hilarious.

This was cute and all... but if you want joyfully dorky and peculiar dance videos set on the streets of LA, Nathan Barnatt is the man.

This made me so homesick for Los Angeles.

That was... surprisingly enjoyable. I'll go +1 on thanks for a beautiful gift for a shitty shitty year...
