I could have sworn I'd seen this on here before, but a search turns up nothing. Regardless thanks for posting and reminding me what a great song this is. posted by 256 at 1:17 PM on December 17, 2010
Fiddy is growing increasingly endearing. posted by msali at 1:24 PM on December 17, 2010 [6 favorites]
I've always been mystified by Keenan's popularity. Not because I'm opposed to lipsyncing or think he's weird; he's just a really really poor lipsyncer. posted by Hargrimm at 1:29 PM on December 17, 2010 [1 favorite]
There's a few of these, including one with a news crew - the kid's infectiously fun, one of those people you're laughing with, not at. posted by Slap*Happy at 1:29 PM on December 17, 2010 [1 favorite]
That is the WGN Morning news crew, they run his stuff all the time. Best newscast in Chicago. posted by timsteil at 1:30 PM on December 17, 2010
More about Keenan.
Would love to know the backstory on this. posted by iconomy at 1:31 PM on December 17, 2010
What an amazing age we live in, where a dwarf with very marginal lip-syncing abilities can become internet famous doing exactly that, to the point where famous people pay tribute to them. posted by crunchland at 1:32 PM on December 17, 2010 [3 favorites]
I agree completely. Before this moment in history, fame was always so well deserved. posted by ODiV at 1:40 PM on December 17, 2010 [4 favorites]
Back on topic, it's really cool that 50 Cent does stuff like this. posted by ODiV at 1:43 PM on December 17, 2010 [4 favorites]
I'm old and cranky and can't be arsed to listen to enough of this song, but is it about fellatio or is it about someone being fond of him? Both? posted by Burhanistan at 1:46 PM on December 17, 2010 [1 favorite]
Finally, a Caucasian answer to Gary Coleman and Emmanuel Lewis...
And it's not the lipsyncing so much as the skillful eyebrow arching - looks like he's 6, acts like he's 26. posted by oneswellfoop at 2:00 PM on December 17, 2010
I came here to comment about how terrible his lip syncing was, but he's so disarming, I'll hold my tongue. posted by yiftach at 2:04 PM on December 17, 2010
Back on topic, it's really cool that 50 Cent does stuff like this.
Keenans videos are getting 10 and 20 million hits a time. The 50 Cent clip will undoubtedly exceed that, coupled with replays across all media as Keenan enjoys his 15 minutes. I don't doubt 50 is a decent guy but it's very obvious why he's done this. posted by fire&wings at 2:41 PM on December 17, 2010
Maybe you're right. Although, if it's obvious, then why isn't it commonplace? posted by ODiV at 2:43 PM on December 17, 2010
The hypnotic waggling of his eyebrows lures me into a trance-like state. posted by jnaps at 6:55 PM on December 17, 2010
Fake And Gay.
It's a greenscreen, in a studio, and it's not even really 50, and CGI. It was all done by a couple of guys in After Effects.

This guy's lip syncing reminds me of my friend Jim in the Army who only lip synced when he was drunk (which, to his credit, was most of the time) and so poorly that grown men were moved to pity. posted by bovious at 11:02 AM on December 21, 2010
Sometimes when I'm listening to Daft Punk in the car, I lip sync various sounds like the waoh-waoh-waoh-waoh-waoh in Da Funk. posted by Burhanistan at 11:40 AM on December 21, 2010
