It is an education to watch that fellow dance, or at least, it's nice to see someone dance who is both a better dancer than I am and a dancer-in-the-general-way-that-I-dance, as opposed to someone who is a better dancer than I am in a way that would be totally unachievable for me.
O Unfoggers! Surely some of you are geeky and like to dance, both. Perhaps some day I will visit your town and we can have an Unfogged dance marathon. (I mean, I'm fat and schlumpy and all, but I don't actually embarass myself while dancing, and I can wear my hipster stretched-ear ear ornaments to conceal my general dorkiness. I wouldn't shame you, that's what I'm saying.)
His song choices were—crap, not supposed to say this anymore; oh well—interesting.
Napoleon Dynamite minus the vote for Pedro shirt.
I kind of assume everyone's seen this, but anyway, just in case.
This guy is clearly a prick.I'll acknowledge that he is a good dancer. But a) he has enough money to visit europe when the euro is getting snotty, and b) is not taking anyone. Oh, and, C) he defines his surroundings in terms of his talent (and presence).
If the pictures were taken from a non-fixed point, I'd be much more sympathetic. Also, if the guy were dancilng shittily for the concept of the thing, I'd appreciate that too. However, the whole fucking ouevre screams, look at me in different places, I can dance.
I'm bitchy because my cat won't get off me so I can sleep, but even so, this guy borders on douche.

Don't hate! He can really dance. And the choosing of songs for the relevance of their titles, taken literally, is dumb enough to deserve love.
Frowner, if you come to Los Angeles I would totally have a geeky dance-off. I know lots of hipster dance clubs, or if you want to be genuinely-geeky, and not ironic-geeky, I even have Dance Dance Revolution in my very own home.
Anybody up? L.A. just had an earthquake. Nothing fell in my apartment, but it sure did jiggle.
Yeah, he can dance, and the videos are fun. No hate.
Actually, I've seen quite a bit of this stuff recently. Kids doing 'pieces' and filming them with mobile phones. I was outside a shop the other week and three teenagers turned up outside and started doing synchronised steps together while a fourth filmed on her mobile phone. It was great -- just a surreal little moment in the day.
And he appears to be one of those I-wear-my-adidas-at-all-times guys. I love that.
The NY subway one was predictable, but perhaps my favorite.
But a) he has enough money to visit europe when the euro is getting snotty, and b) is not taking anyone.
Hmm? He seems to have taken a camera-woman, at least. I think he's awesome.
Frowner, I would totally join your dance marathon. If, however, concealment of dorkiness and non-embarassing dance skills are important criteria, I probably don't qualify.
15: Now is the time on Unfogged when we dance!
15:Unfogged in the DDR. Or wait, has the historical moment passed?
Clearly what we're looking at is some kind of Unfogged world tour, y'all. With dancing.
Okay, I'm off to a union rally. One percent is not enough!
17: One percent is not enough, union sister!
17: The Rhythmless Nation world tour.
"Mr. Gorbachev, throw down on this wall!"
20: Makes me think of the BarFly write-up about the Ararat in Portland.
"In Russia, the dance clubs you!"
The Ararat, a fun place to dance and drink wotka.
Unfogged in the DDR.

First stop, Berlin!!
I wandered into the Ararat one summer afternoon on the way to somewhere else, and it seemed like a foreign country. Portland is short on the exoticism.
Hell, yeah! If I could travel like that I might do the very same thing. If that makes me a douche, then I wear my badge of douchitivity proudly.
The guy dancing on Kilimanjaro in #4 is awesome. Could someone explain to me what the dancer was seeking at that altitude?
I felt the one where he danced on his mother's grave while playing "Another One Bites The Dust" was in poor taste.

His first choice was "I want your Sex."
Heebie's still living in the twentieth century. Get with the program, lady.

Bangkok! Oriental city! The mineshaft don't know what the mineshaft is getting!
B, did you feel the quake? It was 4.5 in Northridge, relatively close to you for L.A. County.
Not strong enough for me to feel it all the way in Minneapolis.
I'm obviously on the wrong side of history on this one. Just to be clear, I think 4 is awesome. In fact, 4's awesomeness only reinforces my dislike for the vids in the OP.
The Ararat write-up had me at 'stunning damsels.' I go by that place all the time, and I had no idea it was a disco; I've been wondering where all the Russians here hang out.
33: We should have a mini-meet there, it's excellent. Sadly, it was (is?) on the list for removal when and if the bridgehead development plan ever moves forward.
I'd be up for it -- are there times when it's quiet enough to have a conversation?
Any Portland lurkers out there?

You fool. The video in 4 is stoopid: those could have been done on a soundstage for all it matters where he is. The guy in the original post at least makes a cheeseball effort to find a song that fits the scene and frame an elegant angle for his dance. The other guy, Matt, I believe is his name, might as well brag about how he's taken a leak in 73 countries.
Oh, sure, before the music starts up. Once they crank it, it's time to yell.
Damn, I'd love to be there. Unlikely before December.
Well, we'd have to go again when you came to town.
First stop, Berlin!!
No, silly, first we take Manhattan.
12: And he appears to be one of those I-wear-my-adidas-at-all-times guys.
I heart Blume.
So agree with Ogged. The "where the hell is Matt" guy is clearly lording his travel plans over the rest of his. His dances are clearly victory dances: "nyah, nyah, nyah," they seem to say.
Dancin' Davey just makes me envy his self-confidence and sweet, sweet moves.
No, silly, first we take Manhattan.
I'm imagining an unfogged version of the muppet movie.
Okay, finally got around to viewing these, and seriously the dude can dance. I find myself getting bored with all of them after about a minute in, but he does have the moves. He and Jackmormon should totally get married and have many many bespectacled incredible-dancer babies.
