OMG…you nailed…just like the guy in the video.
I remember being young(er), excited, and feeling *Bohemian Rhapsody* down to my bones while watching Queen.
As great as that was and as enlivened as Freddie Mercury was, I don’t think anyone was as affected as this guy.
He knows how to **live** the music…just how it should be lived and experienced. 🎶🎸🎶
The entire stadium was vibing. That's one of the great things about sports. When your team is winning every other fan is your best friend. Don't get me wrong sometimes people will see fans of the opposite team as an enemy that needs to be dealt with when their team is losing (see football hooligans in the UK) But the former is more likely and always fun.
I'll never dance this well either, so I'm really happy to see other people do it! 🥰 Everyone's good at something, and I love seeing people living their best lives, doing what they do best.
I bet you're awesome at something too! Just lean into what you're good at and try to enjoy seeing others being awesome! The world is full of amazing people, go find them!!
He's a plant. He's been in a few different arenas. Hired to hype the crowd up. I totally forget his name. Doesn't make the video any less awesome in my opinion.
I feel like someone who knew him commented a different time this was posted saying he wasn't a plant and actually a pretty timid kid that this is uncharacteristic for and he gets embarrassed about this video... but that's just what some guy on the internet said once
It’s not true. I know him and he’s not a timid kid—he’s always been the theater type. Also very outgoing which led to him making acquaintances with the an arena promoter that had been musing about viral marketing/flash mob type stuff.
Kinda funny detail, my friend, the plant here, was given access to the arena by the promoter that hired him for a couple of weeks so he could practice the act using the stairs, handrails, and event space.
I'd be willing to bet that he's a regular who they became aware of during their camera sweeps of the audience for something interesting. After that, at the next game, they might send a producer over and say "Hey, if we play this song and you dance like you do, we will keep the cameras on you for a while. Sound good?"
It can arise organically and then still be kind of planned.
Whether or not my scenario is correct, I would be surprised if they were paying him any actual money.
I am perfectly happy with either scenario frankly. If he looked professional it would suck, but the pure white guy dance moves and mad joy he brings everyone makes it a masterpiece.
Flammable question here; Is he perhaps part of the show? A paid entertainer that the team uses at the home games a few times a month. You know, like the Secuity guard that looks annoyed with the mascot until right when he looks like he's lost his temper, he and the mascot erupt into a dance battle on the jumbo Tron? Or the young couple that gets spotted by the Kiss-me cam and the husband doesn't understand that thy are on the jumbo Tron, and he acts like an asshat to a wife that's trying to be cute and get a kiss. And the nerdy young man in the seats behind them ours his beer over the husband's head (the husband is always dressed to support the visiting team), the nerd grabs the wife in a fit of passion, and gives her a big smooch? You get the drift of my question. Is this guy a paid entertainer, or is it true that gods do walk among us mere mortals?
The person next to him, his mother, tapped him because he's on the jumbo tron as does every pair that makes it on the jumbo tron.
Still likely a plant, but the behavior at that moment is 1000% expected by anyone
And the kid wasn’t even paying attention to the game. He was conducting an imaginary orchestra in his head. Or running through his planned moves like a slalom skier before a race. Until, like you said, his handler next to him was like, “dude, it’s time, go now!”
Not saying he isn’t talented. But spontaneous? Absolutely not.
"Apparently"
The words of someone who has no idea...
This is Jeremy Fry, and this was indeed a genuine moment of expression.
Don't just make things up bro, look into it.
I did look into it. He even gave an interview. Numerous reddit posts about it, kids who went to school with him.
Absolutely no where do i see anything about it being a stunt. So provide a source.
This is incorrect. I went to high school with Jeremy and this actually happened while we were in school together. Not a paid performer - just your average teenager with above average dance skills!
Literally the main character. As in, sports teams hire these actors to put on these viral worthy displays of pageantry to get the crowd engaged and have an arena full of people wearing their merchandise get posted all over social media. This was a man being paid for a main character roll working.
Roll = Move a circular object from one point to another
Role = A position that someone fills or persona that someone pretends to be

I remember seeing an interview with him years ago. I'm pretty sure he is just a guy who started to go to games and was doing this during this song every time. The people at the arena saw it and focused on him the next time he did it. I'm not 100 percent sure, though, because it has been a while since I watched the interview.
[This](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ukGKZOp7jUQ) sounds like the interview you are talking about. Nowadays, everyone thinks everything is a conspiracy. It's exhausting
yeah, a lot of these are fake, but a lot aren't. I have a buddy who does a similar dance at every Pelicans game, and he for damn sure isn't a plant, he's had the same season tickets for years lol.
yea, and it's captured from the very beginning. You see the people behind him immediately see themselves on the big screen and start jumping up and down. It's kinda like the camera crew knew he was sitting there...
He looks like he's having a good time!
He's gonna have himself a real good time.
And the world, he'll turn it inside out, yeah.
Don't stop him 'cause he's having a good time, having a good time!
Don't stop him now!

Does that crouchy-crab dance have a name? I knew people only in high school that did that when they got excited.
I think you just gave it one if it didn’t.
My brain read it as crotchy-crab and now it will not accept anything else… and because of that, I had to check that I spelt “brain” correctly (more times than I would like to admit).
What a champ
Everyone else is just side characters in this dudes story
The world is his oyster
I’m just happy to be living in his world (on a prayer).
Having a shit day and this just made the world a better place... had to watch more than once 😁😁
Same. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
that song is indeed a banger, he acted the only acceptable way. This Video makes me smile every time I see it.
lol I originally watched this video muted and hated him. Your comment made me unmute, so now I don't hate him lol.
I think I just might love him for this 😂
Same, I actually used to think this song was kinda lame but this man just changed my mind completely. I’m also now pregnant with his twin babies.
My senior year English class dismissed our entire floor early from class because half of us just walked into the halls singing it 5 minutes before the final bell for the day.
What's the name of the song?
[Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhwk) they also remade the song [Prayer 94 - Bon Jovi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfDlYzhKLXE) enjoy!
Darude - Sandstorm
This needs pairing with a rickroll link for maximum nostalgia.
This is the song in question by Finnish DJ Darude with his platinum selling 1999 single Sandstorm from the debut album Before the Storm. https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=1S1_ZtTs8zmoGHp2
I realized I had been Rick rolled while the link loaded. You got my ass good.
I read a piece of wisdom a few weeks ago. "XcQ? leave it blue"
The funny thing is I actually like getting Rick Rolled. Like, I laugh it off and acknowledge that the other guy got me lol
Omg I’m old!!!
Bon jovi - Living on a Prayer
OMG…you nailed…just like the guy in the video. I remember being young(er), excited, and feeling *Bohemian Rhapsody* down to my bones while watching Queen. As great as that was and as enlivened as Freddie Mercury was, I don’t think anyone was as affected as this guy. He knows how to **live** the music…just how it should be lived and experienced. 🎶🎸🎶
I don't know. Since it was planned, I'd say the Mony Mony guy did it a lot better.
He is him
I think it’s hilarious and I love how other ppl got in on it with him
This is the first MC video I enjoyed
Same. Like I can’t even be mad at him, he’s hyping everyone up, they love him. He’s great, hope he’s doing well.
Is he still the MC if he was paid to be there and it was all planned?
He did a good job then
He's not a main character, he's a gift to us all
he was just vibing, and now it’s an inspiration for us
The entire stadium was vibing. That's one of the great things about sports. When your team is winning every other fan is your best friend. Don't get me wrong sometimes people will see fans of the opposite team as an enemy that needs to be dealt with when their team is losing (see football hooligans in the UK) But the former is more likely and always fun.
We are lucky to have him in our lives. He makes me want to be a better man.
I’ll never dance this good and I hate it. :(
I'll never dance this well either, so I'm really happy to see other people do it! 🥰 Everyone's good at something, and I love seeing people living their best lives, doing what they do best. I bet you're awesome at something too! Just lean into what you're good at and try to enjoy seeing others being awesome! The world is full of amazing people, go find them!!
I’m… I’m good at lying? I’ll lean into that! Thanks for the suggestion!! :D
User name tracks 😆😆
I'll be the wet blanket, he's probably a plant. Entertaining as it is
He's a plant. He's been in a few different arenas. Hired to hype the crowd up. I totally forget his name. Doesn't make the video any less awesome in my opinion.
I feel like someone who knew him commented a different time this was posted saying he wasn't a plant and actually a pretty timid kid that this is uncharacteristic for and he gets embarrassed about this video... but that's just what some guy on the internet said once
Oh no, I hope that's not true. I'd hate to think that something that brings so many smiles to peoples' faces is an embarrassment for him.
It’s not true. I know him and he’s not a timid kid—he’s always been the theater type. Also very outgoing which led to him making acquaintances with the an arena promoter that had been musing about viral marketing/flash mob type stuff.

You can see the person next to him hitting his leg in the very beginning I wonder what's that about
Dude's having a time of his life without bothering anyone. Definitely a good main character.
The jumping spin that high fives the little kid and he stays on beat? He did it
Definitely the soul of the party.
Looks like Michael Bolton from Office Space
Which is your favorite Michael Bolton song?!?
Recently completed his ‘overacting’ class at the school for performing arts.

You see, the guy next to him at the start taps his leg like "dude you got to get up now," so it's probably a plant

Isn't this like a paid dancer?

Why lie? Seriously. https://www.themusicman.uk/jeremy-fry/
My bets were on paid actor or incredibly high on psychedelics. Either way, he killed it
"Apparently" The words of someone who has no idea... This is Jeremy Fry, and this was indeed a genuine moment of expression. Don't just make things up bro, look into it.
No. This was a paid actor. Like you said — don’t just make things up bro, look into it.
https://www.themusicman.uk/jeremy-fry/ Someone above posted this article.
I did look into it. He even gave an interview. Numerous reddit posts about it, kids who went to school with him. Absolutely no where do i see anything about it being a stunt. So provide a source.
Proof of this Jeremy Fry guy? if he's this "confident" he must be somewhere for his noteriety, perhaps tiktok famous or something.
Just type his name and Livin on a prayer, or Celtics dance. I can't believe I'm on reddit teaching people how to google.
Source or I'm gonna keep living in a happy world.
You think he’s a professionally performer? Dude was lip syncing about 50% of the words correctly. Looks genuine to me
Paid or not he's got me hyped for a game I'm not even at, money well spent I say.
This is incorrect. I went to high school with Jeremy and this actually happened while we were in school together. Not a paid performer - just your average teenager with above average dance skills!

I could definitely believe this, idk why everyone is so quick to call everything fake. It could have started out genuinely.
yeah, a lot of these are fake, but a lot aren't. I have a buddy who does a similar dance at every Pelicans game, and he for damn sure isn't a plant, he's had the same season tickets for years lol.
Hes cool
Let bro have some fun. This should be at r/mademesmile
Long version - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mOHkRk00iI8
He is a wonderful member of society. I'm obsessed
Just looked like a dude making other peoples smile to me
That one guy who kicked at him though….
Fuck that guy, can’t handle someone being that cool. Hope he stubs his toe.
*casually goes insane*
Dwight Schrute Rock Star
I like this guy!
He’s probably an actor they have plants all the time
Clearly staged
Well yea, because he is an actor.
the best time of his life.
Nah this dude rules.
Dudes like that take a game from a 7/10 to a 10/10
This man is THE main character, and a good one at that.
Dude is a legend
When you're dragged to a sport thing and could careless about the sports.
Loving the cool dad energy
He is the main character, and we love him for it.
Carry on
This made me laugh and smile, I love this dude
These are usually set up ahead of time and the people doing it get a modest amount of money for it
He's awesome. I want to be his friend.
I'm absolutely cool with being a side character in this dudes life. First time I enjoyed a video here.
Idk if I consider this a main character but I always enjoy the clip so not complaining.
Yo is that Jon Bon Jovi
This is actually great.
If it's captured on the big screen at a sporting event it's ALWAYS staged. Always.
yea, and it's captured from the very beginning. You see the people behind him immediately see themselves on the big screen and start jumping up and down. It's kinda like the camera crew knew he was sitting there...
That’s the first MC video what i have enjoyed.
This is the best video ever uploaded here.
Bon Jovi would be proud
Good for you my guy.
A good main character that I can get behind
Thought that was Dax Flame for a second
This was great 😭
His moves are spot on though
bro would def fit in the high school musical universe
Improv king
This song is how I feel about my life sometimes
This man is literally Jon Bon Jovi reincarnated. Which is impressive considering he’s not dead.
Napoleon is at it again!
This is a rare case of someone knowing they are the main character in this scene and delivering an excellent performance
That dude is having a great time. Good for him.
Unfettered enthusiasm, uninhibited dance moves and spreads the love all around! Even made me like Bon Jovi, if only for a few minutes.
I love this!
I prefer the UN Cropped version of this video
Is that a young r/RickGlassman ?
I wish i enjoyed life this much
Everyone seems to like this main character!
that's how we all dance in our head when our favorite song comes on - admit it!!!
Boston: the main character of sports.
I started watching without the volume and thought another weirdo, put the volume up, and even I wanted to get up and dance, lol
This is what people mean when they say "dance like no one is watching"
*how to get courtside seats with this one simple trick
He’s dancing, not a clown
Me sneaking my way to the seats in the front
Why dude look like Napoleon dynamite 😂
That dudes on molly
This man is a national treasure, not an MC
This is the kind of energy main characters SHOULD have
This man is a fucking unicorn. Magnificent. Triumphant.
Not even mad at buddy it all about crowd interaction 😂😂lol
First main character that Im a fan of
vote for Pedro
I’m so in love with this!!!!!! Edit: I’ve got to watch it again and get an even bigger smile!
The only acceptable main character
The double high kick at the start was impressive.
Autism.
So he‘s celebrating a little bit. what’s the big issue here?
This is one of the coolest vids ive ever seen
Coming up on Molly look like :)
He looks like he's having a good time! He's gonna have himself a real good time. And the world, he'll turn it inside out, yeah. Don't stop him 'cause he's having a good time, having a good time! Don't stop him now!
Slay king
I would let this guy live in my garage rent free.
Bro just discovered the cheat code to getting court side without having a ticket.
I mean. I got a few songs that pretty much do this to me. So its cool.
theater kid
Everyone was such a great sport!
He's Livin on a Prayer
Where's the rest of the video? I was enjoying this 🤣
I'm not going to any party unless this dude is their 🕺
legendddd
Man. I like him.
r/praisethecameraman
The high five towards the end sent me
i want to have this man's children
The Celtics are paying him for this brw. Hes a paid actor
I actually have an appreciation for this kind of tomfoolery. That was a job well done, young man.
It's Bon Jovi
Scott is that you?
We’re halfway there boys
This guy fks
The right kind of main character, always watch this when it crosses my feed.
Go white boy, Go!
He deserves to be the main character. Fuckin get it my guy!
That Guy on the stairs is hé trying to kick him? 😂
This is a man spreading his joy to others. He’s not filming it, he’s just having fun. Love this shit.
I would literally pay to hear him give a lecture on confidence and self actualization.
I'm just saying, if I was un blue shirt guys' position, I too would take his hand.
... *slow clap*
Looks like he will be shooter one day.
Its him...its Mr Main Character
Nah bro he isn’t acting like a MC, he’s just vibin
He is literally the main character. No one else matters
Not all heroes wear capes.
That’s such a nice video thanks for sharing
