Flashback: Child of the '80s Jams to Phil Collins

GiggleSugar — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:00:00 -0700

If you're in need of a midweek pick-me-up, then look no further and feast your eyes on Duffy Lucas. For one night back in the '80s, he donned his best Miami Vice-inspired sports coat, put on a pair of snazzy white dancing shoes, and gave his best lip-sync performance to his favorite song. By Phil Collins. Titled "Sussudio." I don't think anyone ever knew what the hell this song was about, but Duffy's debut proved to be the coolest moment in all of television history anyway. You'll see why.

Eat Your Heart Out, Andrew Lloyd Webber!

GiggleSugar — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 01:00:00 -0700

You know the scene in My Best Friend's Wedding when the dude pretending to be with Julia Roberts breaks into song while smack in the middle of a speech, and as Hollywood would have it, the whole table joins in? The peeps below made the scene a little less Hollywood and a little more Broadway. They had a fantastic performance, but I wanna know how everyone in attendance at this wedding (even the father of the groom!) had a voice fit for singing. Uh, Twilight Zone much? (Thanks, College Humor!)

Japanese Boob Show Is Omigosh, So Fake

GiggleSugar — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 03:00:00 -0700

This is exactly why dudes have unrealistic expectations of women's bodies. I bet a few even think these ta-tas are real. And they expect all of us to have a set that can perform 360 degree rotations before powering into a projectile nipple light show. Well sorry, boys. That kind of foreplay only happens in Japan.

Isn't the "Cashman" a Little Too Old for This?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 07:00:00 -0700

This ad starts out as any low-budget pawn shop commercial would: some overly energetic douche stands too close to the camera while begging to buy your junk from you. But William Oliver, the self-titled "Cashman," doesn't settle for run-of-the-mill. He knows how to differentiate himself from the rest — by way of a sleazy jingle and a few scantily-clad backup dancers. Novel, no?

Singing Sushi Shows Off Some Raw Talent

GiggleSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:00:00 -0700

Do kiddies have to be coaxed into eating sushi in Japan? I wouldn't think so, but if the aim of this live-action, singing sushi show is to persuade peeps to push their palates in the raw direction, then this is a gamble. I personally don't want to see the contents of my meal get up and into a chorus line, but the personification of uncooked food is a widespread marketing trend nowadays. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

So Granny Thinks She Can Dance

GiggleSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 18:45:40 -0700

And you know what? Granny can dance! The whole sitch seems dubious at first: the turtleneck, the broach, the knitted couch cover, the seizure (?). But that's just Granny's warm-up before kicking mad ass on the living room floor — and only during the commercial breaks, you hear? Judge Judy requires our undivided attention. (Thanks, College Humor!)

Bride and Groom's First Dance Is Timeless!

GiggleSugar — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 03:00:00 -0700

It's become trendy for the newly married couple to forgo a sappy love song during the wedding reception and bust out a high-energy choreographed routine instead. I thought no one could top the couple who raunched up the dance floor with their "ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh" to Sir Mix-a-Lot, but watch the duo below. They took a cue from the wildly viral Evolution of Dance and did it all. There was even some Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do action up in there. Enjoy!

The Baby Banjo Boogie

GiggleSugar — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 01:00:00 -0700

This little guy can't even take a stand, but he's already tapping his foot to the tune of Mama's banjo. She strings, he bounces. She stops, he chills. Let's just be thankful that Mom's biggest groupie enjoys her music and not his . . .

Here's the original link.

Some Perv Makes a SFW Vid

GiggleSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Whereas normal people like to have fun with unnecessary censorship, the "artistic types" (in this instance: pervs) prefer to strip down, throw a party, and play with necessary censorship. Is it art? Or just an excuse to get drunk and (let it all) hang out? You decide.

Tommy's Tribute to the Apache People

GiggleSugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Behold Tommy Seebach bouncing his booty in a forest in the middle of nowhere! Behold the monster mustache on his upper lip! Behold the groupies paid to half-heartedly dance around him and shake it in "tribal" bikinis! Behold Tommy's musical tribute to the Apache people! Behold Tommy making a mockery of Native American culture by perpetuating the stereotypes associated with it! Thanks but no thanks, Tommy . . .

Can the Bride Get Off the Bar . . .

GiggleSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 11:15:00 -0700

. . . And throw Desperado the bouquet already?

Thanks, College Humor!

Flashback: Dance Party USA

GiggleSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 11:20:00 -0700

I think it's safe to say that the following clip has every offense ever committed in the '80s: the socks, the shoulder pads, the silk-screened tees, the teased-to-death hair, the vast assortment of neon colors. The dudes flaunt spandex-tight jeans. The girls sport high-waisted minis. And the mullets! Many mullets. So many mullets, you'll lose count. (I tried.)

Germans Do the Hamster Dance

GiggleSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 13:00:00 -0700

If hamsters were bipedal, dancing theme park entertainers, would they have blond, curly hair? And wear cowboy hats? Would they engage in heinously choreographed line-dancing and booty shake for curiously large crowds of potentially deranged peeps? In Germany they would. I don't know why — but they would . . .

Flashback: Do the Urkel!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 09:00:00 -0700

Steve Urkel may have sported high water dork pants and world-class wedgies, but they didn't stop him from busting a mean move on the dance floor. He didn't fear the opposite sex. (Isn't that right, Laura?) Snort, snort, snort! — so it was only natural for him to take the floor and show all his fellas how to pelvic thrust with the ladies. Wholesome family programming, eh? (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

"Groovy Dancing Girl" Got Her Big Break!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Once a vid goes viral on the Internet, the peeps in it become the stuff of website chatter, email trails, talk show appearances, and if they're extremely lucky, commercials and modeling deals. No joke. Groovy Dancing Girl's debut performance left everyone entranced and wanting more, including Etam denim, a French fashion label. She's its new spokesperson, model, and dancer extraordinaire. Watch this ad and try to resist wanting your own pair of these jazzy jammin' jeans. They're not gonna move this way for all of us, but here's to hoping . . .

"White Owl" Shows Some Team Spirit

GiggleSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:00:00 -0700

It looks as though "White Owl" hasn't changed his gametime wardrobe since 1971, which is when he attended his very first Kansas Jayhawks game. But our bearded buddy knows how to work it. In fact, his free-flowing beads and tie dye earned him a best dressed nomination, an on-camera interview, and an impromptu talent show. (I use the word "talent" loosely, of course.)

So They Think They Can Dance

GiggleSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:00:00 -0700

I love how kids don't just let their freak flags fly, they raise them high, whirl them around, wear them as neat-o scarfs, soak them in kool-aid to mop the floors, and in the following vid — throw them down to make a dance floor. And then trip on them. As long as these kiddies have their freak flags, they can party anytime, anywhere, with anyone. Or no one. Whatever works. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

Every Family Has One

GiggleSugar — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:00:00 -0700

The family drunk. He shows up to the reunion tanked and spends the rest of the afternoon running around with the kids, rolling in the grass, playing air guitar, falling all over himself, and causing an obnoxious scene in his drunken delirium. The fam begrudgingly extended an invitation to him, knowing the inevitable would happen . . .

Where Did We Go Wrong?

GiggleSugar — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:00:00 -0700

The following vid features two scantily-clad divas bouncing for themselves (and Internet thrill seekers worldwide) in a mirror with a web cam rolling. The net has become a breeding ground for public displays of shameless narcissism, so big whoop — right? What I find so disturbing is that these BFFs look like they could be popping bubble gum and passing notes in junior high. Despite their obvious youth, the vid is now viral and everyone is watching. Is Internet popularity compelling these underage chicks to flaunt their goods? Or something else? I want to know: Where did we go wrong?

Where Did We Go Wrong?

The Internet and 15 seconds of fame, baby.

MTV and cheap reality TV, courtesy of Tila Tequila.

Girls Gone Wild and its glorified skankiness.

Britney Spears and other sexxx-crazed celebs.

The Disney Channel and 15-year-old photo "art."

Thursday Musical Interlude: You Sexy Thing

GiggleSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Remember that cha-cha-cha-ing baby who preoccupied much of Ally's psychotic hallucinations on the show Ally McBeal ten years back? Believe it or not, the babe was spotted busting the same moves in nearly the same outfit to the beat of a different tune in some abandoned back alley the other day. Poor kid. He must've had one hellavuh growth spurt over the past decade, cuz he's only ten years old — going on 30. But that's not too unusual in Hollywood.

If you're itching to reunite with the original "ooga chaca, ooga ooga, ooga chaca" baby

Cute Alert! Live Nude Dancing Cockatoo

GiggleSugar — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Oscar ain't your average cutie patootie cockatoo. She has a tendency to make peeps feel uncomfortable, rather than happy and sappy all over, but she can't help it. Our gal is incapable of growing body hair so she sadly looks like this evening's din-din — but not so fast. Girlfriend has way too much charm to go to waste. Nature gave her a mandate to run around naked all the time, so she makes the most of her featherless existence. Anyone up for some live nude dancing?

High School Musical: The One Woman Show

GiggleSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Are there any High School Musical fans in 'da house? There will be after Little Miss Thang struts her stuff for herself and the camera. Thanks to giddy little girlies (and all of the older, "too cool for school" teen misfits who secretly tuned in too), HSM hit the Disney channel and became an insta-success. Why? It's the stuff bedroom talent shows are made of. It awakens the musical talents and Broadway ambitions of America's youth and the end result is . . . an unmade bed and a couple of hits on the Internet. What more can a young girl wish for?

Girl Crush of the Day: Leslie and the Lys

GiggleSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 10:42:21 -0700

I saw this ~~woman~~ powerhouse of fabulousness perform last month, and lemme tell you, Leslie and the Lys do not disappoint. You gotta love a woman who composes rad lady jams and wears form-fitting gold suits with octopus shoulder pads on the outside. Her backup singers are amazing, her style is fierce, and she inspires freaks and geeks everywhere. Go Leslie!

Break Dancing Fingers

GiggleSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 07:00:00 -0700

This is why the Internet was invented, people— so you can see porn, cats, and breakdancing fingers. (The moonwalk is particularly impressive.)

Thanks, eBaum's World!!

The Napoleon Dynamite of the '80s

GiggleSugar — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Remember when Napoleon calmly took the stage in his unfashionable duds and moved awkwardly to the music for all his classmates to see? This chick does exactly that, but in the dark and on public access television. She thrusts, bounces, and masquerades around like some sort of monster out of the "Thriller" vid — but she's got no costume. Just head-to-toe spandex. Which is a far cry from thrilling, trust me. (Thanks, Best Week Ever!)

The Private Life of the Dude Next Door

GiggleSugar — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 12:00:00 -0700

Can we get this dude a room — without a web cam? I'm all for shaking your groove thang for the mirror at home, but posting a performance like this on the web is plain ol' wrong. Especially when our "talent" is dressed down in his skivvies. And most definitely when he's gonna go public with one of them moobs. We now know where this kid got his inspiration. Damn the Internet!

Spring Break: An Eleven Second Recap

GiggleSugar — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:00:00 -0700

Our gal here thinks that rolling around on stage in a bathing suit with her legs spread eagle is hot, but it's not. Even with a backwards somersault and some offstage booty bouncing — it still ain't sexy. But it's worth a good laugh for all the sober folks at home. Girlfriend's gonna need more than two aspirin before bedtime to rid herself of a pounding headache tomorrow morning . . .

Disco Ernie: The 88-Year-Old Male Stripper

GiggleSugar — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 02:00:00 -0700

He's 88 years of age and he ain't ashamed to show it! When I say "it," I mean it. That's right, Disco Ernie is a working stripper, mmmkay? He can't thrust his hardened hips back and forth, for fear of breaking one, but he does a damn good job of seducing the ladies. Gramps does 100 situps "everyday, or almost everyday, or every other day" — how the hell is he supposed to remember? — but his ~~washboard~~ washed up stomach speaks for itself. Ernie's routine consists of him showing off his prized "abs" and waving his arms around for ten (or realistically five) minutes. Bibbidi-bobbidi-eeeew!

Flashback: Little Dorks Dancing on Silver Spoons

GiggleSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 13:00:00 -0700

Although the credits are rolling and this episode of Silver Spoons has reached its end, Rick Schroder and Alfonso Ribeiro insist on making total dorks of themselves. In an attempt to cement the newly restored friendship shared by their characters, the two run to the center of the room, exchange high fives, and take turns showing off their amateur-ish break-dancing skills. It's fun for the whole . . . two of them. My only wonder is: Why is Alfonso dressed like he's 10 going on 65?

The Best Cheerleaders Ain't Always the Prettiest

GiggleSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:30:00 -0700

This one-man cheer squad not only got the crowd in gear to get rowdy, he did whatever it took to distract the other team from scoring. He traded in his pom-poms and short skirt for a simple Speedo — in his team's color, natch — and bounced around like a legit cheerleader for a couple hours, directly behind the hoop. Boyfriend made a royal arse of himself in the process, but hey — that's what crazy fans are for.

Much Ado About Cockroaches

GiggleSugar — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:45:00 -0800

I have no idea what this sales dude is saying, but the fact that he's pelvic thrusting down a roach-ridden back alley is telling enough. Somebody needs to advise homeboy huffer here to use the cockroach spray as directed. What else would explain this kind of enthusiasm over a widespread roach infestation problem?

Dancer Lacks Skirt Presence

GiggleSugar — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:00:00 -0800

This little dance star loses her skirt, again and again, but never loses her cool. Even her cootilicious partner pauses for a peek, but girlfriend maintains focus and keeps on spinning, rolling, dancing, and depantsing. She must be a big Britney fan.

Did Jacko Jack the Moonwalk?

GiggleSugar — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 11:00:00 -0800

Contrary to popular belief, "The Moonwalk" long preceded Michael Jackson's rise to fame in the '80s. H.R. Pufnstuf, a popular children's television program, debuted the dance (or some variation of it) in the early '70s. The fabulously overdressed frog lady who first showcased the routine had a bit more hip action than Jacko, but other than that, she demonstrates the same dance. For the most part.

It's Time to Play: Name That Taboo!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 08:00:00 -0800

Something is a little off here, but I can't put my finger on it. Is it the vision of a senior citizen dancing with a college cheerleader? Or quite simply the vision of someone his age dancing — in public? Or is it that he gives her his "come hither" finger, followed by a series of hip thrusts at the end there? I just don't know. (Thanks, College Humor!)

The Soulja Granny Halftime Show

GiggleSugar — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:00:00 -0800

A group of grannies got their bounce on during a recent Milwaukee Bucks basketball game. The halftime show had a boogie-woogie start with some good, old-fashioned swing dancing. It was charming, predictable, and a by golly good time! But that was just a warmup. These g-rents knew exactly what to do to crank 'dat crowd . . . (Thanks, College Humor!)

The Shopping Buggy Boogie

GiggleSugar — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 01:00:00 -0800

They say that life only gets better with age and after watching this spectacular shopping cart show, I'm a believer. If the elderly can squeeze this much joy and entertainment out of a couple of empty grocery carts then imagine the bliss they must feel when they — oh, I don't know — finish that 24,000-piece jigsaw puzzle or score the last prune in the cookie jar. I'm incredibly jealous, but watching Swan Parking Lot here should make it all better . . .

Flashback: Gene Kelly Tapping Into His Roller Skillz

GiggleSugar — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 01:00:00 -0800

In this day and age of special effects and stunt doubles, we'd be remiss not to stop and appreciate the masters of old. Take Gene Kelly here — singing, tapping, skating, acting, and charming the ~~pants~~ skirts off of all them swooning ladies. Gene was a bona fide quintuple threat. We don't see that kind of talent these days, so sit back and let Mr. Kelly show you how he rolled. . .

Tim and Eric's Awesome Protégé

GiggleSugar — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 03:00:00 -0800

Remember this? Of course you do. From the all-denim attire to the all-nasty pelvic thrust, the little dude below has studied up on his awesome. He's mastered the sidestep, the head squash, and the unflinching, awkward stare. If he could just grow a 'stache and age about thirty years, then he'd be set in the awesome department.

Did Elmo Go to Rehab and Sober Up?

GiggleSugar — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 03:00:00 -0800

I always considered Elmo a sloppy drunk — that off-balance, giggle-me-overkill routine was a little telling. But it looks like he's done himself some good in the past few months. He's now singing, dancing, beatboxing, and even busting out the ol' jazz hands. Ta-dah! Alright, on second thought, Elmo needs a stiff drink.

Paula's Superbowl Performance Gets Judged

GiggleSugar — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 10:00:00 -0800

If you haven't heard, Paula Abdul was part of the Superbowl festivities this past Sunday. The ex-princess of pop gave a pre-game comeback show and debuted her new single, "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow." The whole shebang was typical Paula — nothing new — but the real question is: what did Simon Scowl think? Could girlfriend be the next American Idol?

Dancer Lacks Stage Presence

GiggleSugar — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 10:30:00 -0800

The Pussycat Dolls, they are not, but this denim-clad dance group has their move and groove in sync — until someone royally effs up. But her "friends" have it all in perspective: one gal down, so what? Just sweep her under the stage and on with the show . . .

Lady Pays Tribute to Underdog

GiggleSugar — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 08:00:00 -0800

You gotta love public access television. Crazy Lady in the blue cape appeared on a little known NYC-based show called Checkerboard Kids a few years back. She wanted to set the record straight once and for all— the cartoon superhero, Underdog, is the canine Superman. Say what? "Have no fear!" The Underdog interpretive dancer is here. . .

Too Drunk to Dance?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 11:00:00 -0800

We've all been there. The alcohol kicks in before the party dies down. What to do? Be a party ~~pooper~~ trooper! Just follow this dude's lead — take the floor and rock on. (Drama! Sexy! Oh, yah!)

Time For a New Sitter?

GiggleSugar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 15:00:00 -0800

When Mom and Dad are away, the babysitter will play. As for the uncoordinated toddler, well, he'll just have to figure out something else to do.

What Traffic? It's Dance Party Friday!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 01:00:00 -0800

This isn't the first time we've seen this news crew pull these shenanigans on the air. The dancing traffic dude has been replaced by a new reporter and she's keeping up his act. He's still around to join her, so we now have two sideshow dancers giving us their best rhyme and Roger Rabbit, as opposed to the updates. If the news doesn't depress you, these moves might do the trick.

Belly Dancer Falls Short of Sexy

GiggleSugar — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 02:00:00 -0800

This belly dancer will bend over backwards to entertain. Watch her bust a move — or something else? — in the following home demonstration. I'm happy to see that we've moved beyond the homemade stripper poles, but ladies, hanging from the furniture just ain't gonna cut it.

High Self-Esteem?

GiggleSugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 10:25:09 -0800

Loony-toon roll call! The NYC subway is her stage and the hippy-hippy-shake is her talent. But don't be fooled: the fanny pack is not a costume. It's a red flag— someone needs to crank down the crazy in this joint.

Mascot Shows Off His Moves

GiggleSugar — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 11:30:00 -0800

You see these mascots tip-tapping around on the side of the road all the time, but this dawg has more than a few moves to unleash. Watch him shame some random dude on the side of the road during an impromptu dance-off. This gets me to wondering why dudes won't dance when we ladies do the asking, but they'll willingly get down with Sideshow Dog in broad daylight during rush-hour traffic. What am I missing?

Weather Gal Cranks That Soulja Boy

GiggleSugar — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 13:00:00 -0800

It's just business, as usual, for Jill Nicolini of the CW11 Morning News. The camera cuts to her for a weather report, but she immediately launches into a personal shout-out, followed by a little weather talk, along with a whole lotta Soulja Boy bebop and tap dancing. So much for getting into work on time . . .
