  1. OHKAY!!!!???????????? This dance is kinda weird. Ohkay it not kinda weird its WEIRD!!! But its not only weird it is super Hillarius. The guy that did this must of made some MONEY!!. But he is Super FUNNY. I get the purpose of you making us watch this is because he has alot of old songs and since were learning about the songs and dances in the olden days you made us watch this video. But all i have left to say is this guy is the most Funniest Person i have ever saw. He is FUNNY!!!!!!!

  2. Man this guy is so good but I think that I can do better than him because he is so old and it is so awesome. He was doing it so different and I would do it the right way and I feel that I am way better than this guy. I would do way better song to songs that people actually know but I think that this guy did ok. But I should definitely give him advice on his Michael Jackson pelvic thrust.

  3. I think he would be great music for being an example for dances. I could do better than him though I do not think he was that good he tried to copy the Micheal Jackson Pelvic Thrust that was surprising, but it would funny if he did the shimmy on the "My Milk Shake Brings All the Boys To the Yard Song". It would be so funny that I would pee my pants funny I guess he did okay. I did not really see any modern dances so yup.

  4. I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was like so funny you know. How he went from Elvis to grease to the Michael Jackson. At first I was like why is he having us watch this it’s just super weird but hilarious thing. Out of all, the dance’s he did my favorite one would have to be can’t touch this the MC Hammer one that just made me laugh out loud. I really enjoyed watching this video.

  6. IT WAS THE BEST!!!!! It was the best, funniest, and most interesting performance EVER! It was interesting to see all the kinds of dances and hear all the songs from history to now. It went from Ain't Nothing But A Hound Dog all the way to songs from Jay-Z. It was perfect! But the sad thing is that I didn't see any modern dancing such as hip hop. I think that would have been funny to see him do hip hop.

  7. My opinion about the clip is that it is awesome ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !.The clip was funny and entertaining. It took a lot of skill to be able to do that it was soo cool. The video was so neat I think I want to try it. In fact I already have. I had seen the video in fifth grade and I did it for the talent show. Everyone loved.

  8. I think it is nice it is just like my dance the masters dance the real name is the butlers’ dance because it has random dances that a butler dances when his master his not home. which is just how I dance and the type of my dance but I still dance better than him especially in doing the moon walk everybody nose I am the best dancer and that no one can beat me I a dance competition so that is how good I am.

  9. I loved it. It was funny and awesome and so creative and I have never seen anything like it. All the songs that were playing was good too. It must have been fun to do this dance. I like how it has song from different times but they were all songs that I knew. I think the guy was a little weird though. I would not mind watching it a few times just for the fun of it.

  10. Okay... It features a lot of famous looking dances from around the world and nation. He is kind of good, so it's pretty good. Some of the dance moves are strange and abnormal. I guess that's okay though. He was pretty good at dancing. Some of his moves though make me feel so inferior. He is really talented.

  11. Umm... My opinion on this dance is that it is really awesome. I like this dance because their are many different movements into it and because the song changes also. But while wathing the video, I thought it was pretty funny.My favorite part of the dance and the song was "Can't Touch This" because it looked really cool while he was dancing to it. And I also liked the "Kung Fu Fighting Dance" also.
