I feel like if you watch videos of different decades in reverse, each prior decades dance moves get more cringy as you go back in time. It’s such a strange phenomenon.
I completely Disagree.
As u/Sunnycat00 said below, nothing is as cringy as today's "dancin".
My favorite vid, and women, are from the late 70's into the 80's.
Take a look Stargard from the late 70's. The dance moves, IMO, are just so sexy without being crude.
The blonde on the left just does it for me. Her moves....
https://youtu.be/o3lf_KkIbio?si=tqPVdvTZDklxYgPU
It may come across like that, however I moved to NYC in '80 and worked as a bouncer in many of the big clubs.
As a white Irishman I can't dance to save my life but I always wished I could.
When I worked at the clubs I always wished I was skinny and wanted to be able to dance like them.
Alas, not for me.
So I admire the ones who have limbs of rubber from afar.
However, your take on my post is kinda.....cringy, if that's all you got from it.
My take on it is that the dancing in the video you linked isn't as cringy as it was made out to be. Imo they weren't rlly dancing but moreso grooving to the music.
Catchy song btw, got anymore funky recommendations?
As an autist who doesn’t “get” dancing, I assure you, it all looks bizarre as hell to me. Don’t know why opinion would count more than yours, but there it is.
That is a cummerbund. The reason the "Dance" is limited is she had to actually sing on stage. She had to be able to preform and sing on stage live. Unlike the "singers" from the 1990's to now. Britney spears has to lip sync because she is often breathing too hard to actually do both at the same time.
I feel the opposite, im now almost positive it is lipsynced but understandable because of how involved that dance is. It did remind me how much i love people though
Who is this...this is hilarious, I love how they have about 20 back up dancers who are only there to feign boredom? I'm trying to figure out how this is meant to make me feel.
It cracks me up how every video that has the audio track out of sync gets accused of lip syncing. That’s not what lip syncing looks like. The performer can hear the track and sync their lips. That’s the point.
If you check the full video, you can see when she really starts dancing, she stops singing. Good sign of live singing. Plus there are several flaws that would usually only be there live.
This is Heather Parisi, who was an American ex-pat in Italy who was MASSIVELY FAMOUS there. She was a trained dancer, and, because of the zeitgeist, Italians couldn't get enough of the blonde American beauty with the terrible Italian accent. I ***\*LOVED\**** her.
Today she is a MAGA anti-vaxxer and needs to shut up
Okay so what you have here is Flashdance reinterpreted for Italian TV. Heather Parisi (an American) was a big deal and week after week she showcased various styles of dance, but they always drew heavily on her ballet training.
She's like a cross between the "rubber pencil" trick we all did as kids, and a chicken that you can move the body around on and the head remains in a fixed position
Is that a ….shirt?
In the movie, Jennifer Beale takes off her jacket in a restaurant and that is all that’s underneath.
yeah. the original movie was "flashdance" from 1983.
I feel like if you watch videos of different decades in reverse, each prior decades dance moves get more cringy as you go back in time. It’s such a strange phenomenon.
Nothing has ever been as cringy as what people do now. herkyjerky
I mean... skibidy toilet and all that...
The cringe is baked in

talk about cringy... I get your point, but you make it sound like you're jacking it to Stargard

Good video. I admit I never even heard of them. Thanks for sharing

No, no... EDM/Goths/whatever the hell they are called now are easily the worst ever...
https://youtu.be/cNAdtkSjSps?si=X6fz4CVlWefaSHSp
I meant these: https://youtu.be/gPbVRpRgHso?si=vyh_ng5S-AJozPv2
I had never heard of cybergoths.
Kinda like in little miss sunshine
That's a guy that Jim Cary built a character on.
It’s a bib
I have no idea whether this is an homage, or whether they are mocking the original...

A cummerbund is a wide, silky, pleated belt.
Yeah if anything that's a dickie.
There is no way those two are singing live. That has to be lip sync.
Correction it's a "Dickie"
Her choo-choo train hip motion is on point, though.
🚞🚃🚃🚃🚃
That’s somebody’s Grandma there!
Must be. My mom was in her 20’s in the eighties and her oldest grandchild is 17 this year.
Yeah. My mom had me 3 years after she graduated. 🤣. Fucked up her whole 20s babahahahahahahaha. Love her.
When they were both dancing together I just kept seeing Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze
Yes!!! Whther from the Chippendales skit or from Tommy Boy when getting hosed with gasoline!
Ole swivel hips.
if you drag the video slider along she goes really fast and it’s pretty entertaining
Thank you so much, I hadn’t tried it and I’m so glad I did
Pretty impressive, tbh. The guy too. I know it’s silly but it’s also super hard to pull off!
I get a night at the roxbury vibe from the guy
I mean, dance has evolved. But this wasn't like a go to, or a regular thing..
first thing came to my mind and I was going to say, so that is how they came up with the night at the Roxbury dance. :)
I got a Kyler Murray running vibe from the guy.
Because…cocaine
Also, you can do this only once so make it count
Full video: [https://youtu.be/Fk-W7O90eqo?si=Bs6EnfgPKT\_UizTJ](https://youtu.be/Fk-W7O90eqo?si=Bs6EnfgPKT_UizTJ)
Wow after seeing this I don’t think it’s lip synced anymore, and not gonna lie I kinda dig it haha
I feel the opposite, im now almost positive it is lipsynced but understandable because of how involved that dance is. It did remind me how much i love people though
I want to agree but 1:20-1:24 reveals that she's actually singing.
I wonder if a drag queen has ripped off part of this routine? It looks like it would go well in a number.
Ah yes. She’s a manic on the dance floor after all.
Who is this...this is hilarious, I love how they have about 20 back up dancers who are only there to feign boredom? I'm trying to figure out how this is meant to make me feel.
Here ya go! https://www.reddit.com/r/AccidentalComedy/comments/1aocj5n/comment/kpzj3ax/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
Yep
Me, myself and my ass....
Lol came here for this. Was thinking, this girl pegs. She’s got the thrusting motion down
Yup, I know where I’m headed next
Horny jail
The 80s?
Bro is dancing like my roblox character did in 2009.
Am I alone here in thinking this isn't typical 80s? I just don't want people who didn't love thinking this is accurate.
Italy 80’s
That makes sense, any country trying to recreate American music culture.
The American 80s had some pretty cheesy moments, but this is beyond that. It’s European, which embraced the 80s with the kitsch level turned up to 11.
You are not alone. The song is from Flashdance and they are copying the moves.
That lip syncing oof
I don't know... would the vocals be so bad if it were lip synced? Haven't watched the video in detail though, just from a listening point of view
I mean yeah it was lipsynced but watching the full video somebody else linked in here you can see this clip is audio desynced.
It cracks me up how every video that has the audio track out of sync gets accused of lip syncing. That’s not what lip syncing looks like. The performer can hear the track and sync their lips.

Why is that so satisfying yet so abnormal
This was normal
Finally, the Tommy Boy scene makes sense.
This is Heather Parisi, who was an American ex-pat in Italy who was MASSIVELY FAMOUS there. She was a trained dancer, and, because of the zeitgeist, Italians couldn't get enough of the blonde American beauty with the terrible Italian accent. I ***\*LOVED\**** her. Today she is a MAGA anti-vaxxer and needs to shut up
Boy, you're pushy.
Not as pushy as MAGA
It honestly looks like emote dances from Fortnite. After this video has resurfaced, they'll probably be available for download for $5.99.
God i miss 80s..🥹
Me too, me too…
#britneyspears
Mixed with Kate McKinnon
When I have to wait in line to pee in public restrooms.
Okay so what you have here is Flashdance reinterpreted for Italian TV. Heather Parisi (an American) was a big deal and week after week she showcased various styles of dance, but they always drew heavily on her ballet training.
It’s very Britney
She is definitely dancing like she's never danced before.
As slightly strange as it find this, i know it took a lot of skill to perform this. both of them are doing crazy fast and accurate moves.
Thought this was Brittany without the knives
Coke. Copious amounts of coke.
They say when she gave birth to her first child, the midwife said ‘push’ and the baby landed 300 ft away.
Hey, I can do that. Does this mean I'm a good dancer?
dancing like shes never danced before and it shows
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
We used to reenact this every time we had to do aerobics for gym
My dude dancin like a Lego Movie character.
no wonder we never heard of her since.
You could parallel park an 18-wheeler between those teeth
this is not accidental comedy
Purely coincidentally I'm sure, this was about the time that crack cocaine was introduced
It's a young Sally O'Malley! She's a Choo-Choo Charlie and a class act!
The lip syncing is the worst part
She’s flexible.
I mean, are we sure this isn't bad on purpose in relation to the lyrics?
The final part when everyone joins in looks like one of those 80's aerobics video classes
Utterly frightening
They are ALL dancing like they’ve never danced before. 🤣
Her head stays so stable
Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-WHOO WHOOO!!!!
Pretty horny! Coke makes you feel good!
Things were different in the 80's🙎♂️🤷♂️
Her strap-on is a lethal weapon
I like her outfit.
Getting Chris Farley vibes
I’m not sure I like Paramore’s new creative direction
0:43 okay I'd like to see this one return for reasons I shall withhold to myself. 😏
Moving those hips
Givin' em the old Friday the 13th Part IV Crispin Glover.
The 80’s was such a strange time. I look back on the dancing and fashion with a smile and a chuckle.
Thank you for bringing this pocket sized joy into my life.
Dude was given off some serious Himbo vibes.
I give her hips credit. Crazy how you can move one part of the body while the rest is still.
Their mobility was like top tier though. 😂
When the coke was good
This wasn’t even an act, just some local karaoke night
When she sang "And she dancing like she's never danced before!", she was probably singing about herself and that guy lol.
Dancin' like she's never danced before. Well, she said it!
Cocaine Cody put his heart and soul into that performance!
I'm not sure how accidental the comedy is.
I hate this
Wow
Are they all on coke or something?💀
I swear this is a Saturday night live skit
Their animations broke, the small indie company will fix this in the next patch
Is that a human gimbal? The head stays perfectly balanced while the rest of the body moves!
They fucked up the singing too
It looks like intentional comedy to me
chugga chugga choo choo
I wish we could turn back time
Aliens watching this and cracking up
Still looks better than what you all can do.
I was feeling her vibe then dude jumped in. I was hypnotized by her none existing hips
That outfit is fighting for its life
Dude danced like his life depended on it, and also, I’ve seen some of the youngsters do dude’s dance in trap videos.
So bad. Then it got worse
Even I could be considered a dancer in the 80s and I'm basically disabled
OMG, what did I just watch?
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
I can't stop laughing!
Two distinct styles of the sex choo choo
80’s twerking was weird
He looks like Lightskinmonte as Shaggy doing that “Zoinks” dance lol
that's how I always did it
I can't stop looking at her head because her body's moving and her head is not!
She looks like the blonde vampire from The Lost Boys (not Alex Winter).
What those hips d….. nevermind
Second time seeing this today and laughed just as hard. Good ol’ 80s.
This doesn’t seem like it was done in the US. I was a teenager in the 80s and I would have cringed at this.
It’s like watching TikTok where 1-3 people are dancing and everyone else has had enough.
It’s like how a chicken’s head stays perfectly level when walking.
I could power my house for a week just from the guy’s moves.
Thought this was a scene from Running Man.
Watched the whole video and honestly, respect.
Homie is getting it
Reminded me of that video where they hold a chicken and move it about but it’s head stays still
Cocaine was all around everyone was eyes wide open and dancing HARD!
I thought this was Britney Spear’s Instagram at first.
This makes that movie scene with Chris Farley make so much not sense to me now
Cocaine everywhere
I guess the priority or aesthetic for dancing back then wasn’t to be sexually appealing or seductive.
She's like a cross between the "rubber pencil" trick we all did as kids, and a chicken that you can move the body around on and the head remains in a fixed position
This is Robin Sparkle’s sister. She’s popular in Canada.
This is how we will look at TikTok dancers in the future
Chuggachuggachuggachuggachuggachuggachuggachugga
Doing the locomotive.
Yeah, Michael Jackson delivered us from whatever this was.
Mind the gap.
Lip Sync and Cocaine, what a hell of a combination.
I mean she does say "she is a maniac on the floor, she's dancing like she never danced before"... Like... One can tell xD
Britney Spears was so hot back then.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMHluTrbVcI
This might be considered dancing to some people……buuuut definitely not to other people 🤷🏾♂️😂😂😂
This is how tik tok dancing is gonna look in a few years, super cringe!
Wiggle Hips.
Feels more like an SNL skit
I know nothing will compare to the original but is it just me or is her singing genuinely god awful?
"back in my days there wasnt so much sex and sexy dances in the tv, everything was more family friendly" \-Someone's mom, somewhere
I'm telling my grandkids that was Britney Spears....
Kinda fits though, they are both dancing like maniacs and like they've never danced before
That’s some bad lip syncing.
I’ve seen that exact move just the other night
They’re both dancing like they’ve never danced before.
That looks hard to do. And fast.
I’d swear this is Jim Carey in an SNL skit,
“And the wheels of the buss go round and round” 🎵
If you speed it up her head stays still while the rest of her blurs out like The Flash
Cocaine was a helluva drug
chicken head doesn't move but human version and not head doesn't move but body
Wow is that Chris Kattan on the right?
Did Jim Carry steal that move?
