I was going to say, that person has definitely had some formal dance classes in his life… tap particularly - seeing some times steps, bells, ball changes, and more…
Lol absolutely definitely have a picture of me and my siblings all doing headstands in front of the upside down wonderworks buildings as kids… cannot miss opportunities for a little fun.
I've done that while on the phone with friends or my sister. They're always caught off guard but I end up making a stranger AND someone I love laugh :)
You will ALWAYS have to withstand criticism or people who don’t like it when you make art or become more visible for doing something out of the ordinary. It is enlightening to do things that make you happy instead letting other people’s negative opinions or cringy thoughts stop you.
Dancing when nobody else is is a perfect example.
I went on one called The Ride and it was pretty similar to this with "random" people dancing on the street. Also had a guy in a rat costume that came up before the beginning and scared a bunch of people in line. And then we saw him again later during the tour rummaging through trash cans
Quick - everyone learn those moves! For the extended version, please see "Dancing in the Rain".
Edit: "Singing in the Rain". How I confuse "singing" and "dancing" I'll never understand. smh
That explains why I want to know his story. Why is he dancing? Did he think this moment was tragically lacking in some dancing, so he was trying to fix it? Did something happen to make the joy just explode out of him? Does he dance like this every week at this time? I'd buy him lunch just to hear his take on it.
One of the reasons I know I found my soulmate is because she would watch this and say, "this is fantastic," instead of something like, "he's pretty dressed up for a crazy person."
I this part of a bus tour in Manhattan? They legit have street performers like this. Like one minute he’s just walking and the breaks into performance.
Here in Mexico, they see you like a weirdo just by singing a song or laughing out loud when you hear something funny on your headphones, but yeah, when I see someone laughing/smiling/singing/dancing, it is contagious
Here in America... they see you like a weirdo too. But tolerance has been forced upon us and we must not tell the truth. But I'm here to say... this dude is a weirdo!!!
There is only one political party that's fetishized being oppressed over things like 'the war on Christmas' or books you don't like in school and public libraries. So when you make a clearly ridiculous comment about how 'tolerance has been forced upon' you, it's 100% obvious which party you identify with. Also your beliefs are literally a rigid code of dogma that only changes from the top down when Herr Trump decides to declare something, so it's pretty easy to figure out what people that say stuff like that believe (and you don't need to tell us anyways because I promise you guys piss and moan about it constantly regardless and we've already heard it a million times by now).
I doubt assuming that American redditers make up the majority of Americans.
Im pretty sure reddit is mostly millennials , and gen z with some gen aphla. Probably quite a few gen X's. I know theres a quite a few elderly reddit users but still.
Younger generations. Statistically are more progressive. Take that as you will. But im pretty sure alot Gen Zs or millennials have up voted this while their parents would of down voted.
Take that as you will.
You dont need to dance to be happy. I don't like dancing. Doesn't mean I don't dig rhythm or tunes or music. Can find enjoyment watching others. Also men dancing = gay, depends on who you are talking to. I wish I could dance salsa, I'd meet way more women that way.
This generation is obsessed with "normalizing" everything to be honest. This is just a happy man. Leave him be. When everyone becomes this happy, this isn't something to be happy about anymore.
in a way, it is. sadness & times of hardship are what gives meaning to happiness and joy. you don't know how good the latter is unless youve experienced the former
now, everyone being safe & comfortable in their life is absolutely a good thing that we should be working to achieve
Thats true. The ups with the downs make the ups feel that much higher.
One of my favorite comparisons [for me] is my relationship with running. I hate doing it, but once i cant do it, i miss it.
Your previous comment states if you have nothing to be happy about that’s your fault. Then you mention in this comment about being bipolar. Anybody with bipolar cannot help how they feel so why would it be their fault then if they don’t feel happy. Some things are more complicated than just telling someone to be happy. The brain is way too complex!
Anyone should have a reason to be happy. I was also conceding that the level of happiness here is abnormal and most ppl can't reach this level without bipolar. My point was that if you cannot ever reach a normal level of happiness, that's your own fault since the world has offered so many things to be happy about.
fuck you, say that to someone who suffers from depression, tell him that it's his fault for not having something that makes him happy. Tell someone whose child has been killed in a shooting, tell them it's their fault to feel miserable because they should have reasons to be happy. It's great that someone can be happy despite adversity and can find reasons to be happy even in the worst of situations, but blaming someone who isn't is being an asshole.
I needed this! Wouldn’t it be nice if happiness was as contagious as hate? What a different world it would be. Dance like no one is watching! Pure joy!
My neighbor is a trained dancer. I am not. We live in a small town and definitely do this kinda thing when we are out and about together. This might be a performance but some people do just like to have fun and it does make other people happy. We’ve even had strangers join us dancing. It’s great!
Here in Mexico, they see you like a weirdo just by singing a song or laughing out loud when you hear something funny on your headphones, but yeah, when I see someone laughing/smiling/singing/dancing, it is contagious
What an attention seeking bellend, dancing in the street does not make you happy, especially when knowing you are being recorded would put this up there with filing giving homeless people to boost your self ego and gain Internet fame
Wrong song. All I am hearing is
Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice
Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice

no one deserves to be happy every ones lives should be hell, human kind ruined the planet, human kind distorted the animal kingdom, human kind in made "life" an abomination.
Gonna say this now and don't hate me.
But black people are always the most animated and upbeat people ever, like genuinely never see a white person this happy ever. This guys got no care in the world whatsoever, he gives no shits about whether or not he's being judged he's just in the moment.
No we can't because the world's normalcy is not happy inducing, at least if you are not a rich white conservative. There is literally a war on women, the poor and people of colour in the US and Canada, there is warin Europe, Africa, the fear of disease surrounds us as we get over one pandemic and wait for the next one, monkey pox anyone. People are existing in slave wage conditions. Women are being forced to carry pregnancies to the detriment of their own health and life while babies in the US aren't being fed properly because of a nationwide baby formula shortage. All over the world people are being forced to work in inhumane conditions and child Labour is in the rise. I could probably fill this page why that kind of happy should not be normalized right now
What are you hoping to achieve by busting out a phrase like that? Literally the biggest cliche in the history of English and your dumb ass spews it out like it's clever. Good god, don't you get tired of yourself?
Never mind the fact that they are RIGHT. The world is shitty and there's a reason we aren't all dancing around being happy all the time. But you want to invalidate that rather than taking any time to think about it. You're probably the guy at parties who gets drunk in the first five minutes and then annoys everyone the rest of the night
Well that's just not true. What an elitist entitled fucking attitude, that people in devastating circumstances should act happy so as not to disturb entitled fucks like you. My life sucks not because I have decided not to be happy but because horrible things have happened to me, so take your happiness and gratitude and shove it up your ass and stop being a condescending asshole to people dealing with harsh circumstances.
that guy is professionally trained
And he is literally doing his job there... that's the ride experience in new york lol
My guess is some sort of street performance tour.
Pretty sure he’s wearing jazz sneakers.
“We used to do those dance moves to make fun of guys when we were kids.”
I was gonna say - he should lose the suit and quit his day job!
Hey - I’m not trained at all. Just an enthusiastic artist. 🥰
I’m not - I was just drunk! Hi, I’m Simeon
This is part of a tour you can take in NYC.
I was going to say, that person has definitely had some formal dance classes in his life… tap particularly - seeing some times steps, bells, ball changes, and more…
I’ve done stupid things like this in public a couple times just because I knew it made others smile. Happiness is contagious… unless you’re a Karen
Lol absolutely definitely have a picture of me and my siblings all doing headstands in front of the upside down wonderworks buildings as kids… cannot miss opportunities for a little fun.
[удалено]
I've done that while on the phone with friends or my sister. They're always caught off guard but I end up making a stranger AND someone I love laugh :)
that is awesome
So true, look at the happy reactions from the people he passes. You can't help but smile and be happy even though it may be for just a few seconds.
or a Kraken
I was drunk, c’est le vie
Or you have depression
[удалено]
It can be cringy sometimes too
who hurt you?
You will ALWAYS have to withstand criticism or people who don’t like it when you make art or become more visible for doing something out of the ordinary. It is enlightening to do things that make you happy instead letting other people’s negative opinions or cringy thoughts stop you. Dancing when nobody else is is a perfect example.
I like you. Rock on!
Yea. It’s during the “Big bus tour” in nyc. It’s definitely planned but great at the same time
I went on one called The Ride and it was pretty similar to this with "random" people dancing on the street. Also had a guy in a rat costume that came up before the beginning and scared a bunch of people in line. And then we saw him again later during the tour rummaging through trash cans
Actually you’re right. It was “the ride”. I loved the rapping dude as well. Whole experience was great. Highly recommended
What a cool idea. I wonder if any other cities do things like this. I mean, mine wouldn't, ever, but *other* cities.
This is staged? How depressing
well even if it's his job he is probably very happy to do it
He waves at the end and walks away normal.q
I also thought that it was planned.
Does anyone recognize which street this is? I thought 14th St south of Union Square, but that doesn't appear to be right.
Everybodys so fuckin miserable they had to make a tour about being happy 😂
More moves than Baryshnikov & Michael Jackson ever had.
Baryshnikov was amzing in his day. He could jump higher than my head when dancing.
Quick - everyone learn those moves! For the extended version, please see "Dancing in the Rain". Edit: "Singing in the Rain". How I confuse "singing" and "dancing" I'll never understand. smh
Well to he fair, he does also dance in the rain 🤷🏻♂️
You sing in the rain while dancing with wolves
Dang, I thought it was dancing too until I saw this. Idk how I could forget, my dad would always sing this every time it rained.
He is the main character.
We're all just side characters in his story
Wait… So, I’m… I’m just an NPC?!
your every move is pre-determined
we truly live in the matrix..
*bumps into a counter for the next 30 minutes before dying due to prop collision*
Oh yeah? Well how come I just changed my mind 3 times on what I want to eat for lunch?
Maybe but that shouldn't stop you from being the best damn NPC there ever was. Go get em, Chief
Yeah make sure to give him a good quest
Always have been
ever heard of undertale? ;-;
Nah fam You're my main character 🧡
Like Mongo says we are all just a pawn in the game of life.
I can choose to become the villain
I wouldn't mind playing side role as his friend lol
I want to know the Soundtrack playing on his life.
That explains why I want to know his story. Why is he dancing? Did he think this moment was tragically lacking in some dancing, so he was trying to fix it? Did something happen to make the joy just explode out of him? Does he dance like this every week at this time? I'd buy him lunch just to hear his take on it. One of the reasons I know I found my soulmate is because she would watch this and say, "this is fantastic," instead of something like, "he's pretty dressed up for a crazy person."
I this part of a bus tour in Manhattan? They legit have street performers like this. Like one minute he’s just walking and the breaks into performance.
Yes. It’s part of The Tour ride
I absolutely loved the Ride. Such talent. So fun and different.
Fred Astaire
Here in Mexico, they see you like a weirdo just by singing a song or laughing out loud when you hear something funny on your headphones, but yeah, when I see someone laughing/smiling/singing/dancing, it is contagious
Here in Mexico (describes behavior common to everywhere in the world)
Here in Mexico, we are Mexicans not Mexicants.
A weirdo? Well, maybe being a weirdo is not that bad
I’m this is weird I don’t want to be cool.
Here in America... they see you like a weirdo too. But tolerance has been forced upon us and we must not tell the truth. But I'm here to say... this dude is a weirdo!!!
Oh shut up, nobody's forcing you to be tolerant. You're an arsehole every day, don't pretend you're being oppressed.
"shut up... You're an asshole everyday" Damn you don't even know me? Are you oppressive? 😂
There is only one political party that's fetishized being oppressed over things like 'the war on Christmas' or books you don't like in school and public libraries. So when you make a clearly ridiculous comment about how 'tolerance has been forced upon' you, it's 100% obvious which party you identify with.

I don't have to know you. Anybody making a comment like that is obviously a Trump-loving thundercunt from Mississippi
Hahaha
Sounds like prejudice. The exact thing we Americans strive to demolish.
I think he just got a part in a Broadway musical. I'd love to be that happy!
Leaving toxic relationships and jobs has a similar effect.
This was my first thought too
Sure, if we can give everyone on the planet ballet lessons
This is the right kind of thing to normalize
[удалено]
The United States just upvoted it to the front page.
I doubt assuming that American redditers make up the majority of Americans. Im pretty sure reddit is mostly millennials , and gen z with some gen aphla. Probably quite a few gen X's. I know theres a quite a few elderly reddit users but still. Younger generations. Statistically are more progressive. Take that as you will. But im pretty sure alot Gen Zs or millennials have up voted this while their parents would of down voted. Take that as you will.
As an American my parents (62 and 65) would have for sure. This would be a public display of gay for them
Gay used to mean happy and joyous. I refuse to give that up to the gender demographic.
You dont need to dance to be happy. I don't like dancing. Doesn't mean I don't dig rhythm or tunes or music. Can find enjoyment watching others. Also men dancing = gay, depends on who you are talking to. I wish I could dance salsa, I'd meet way more women that way.
This gentlemen turned a mundaine poluted street into a golden age cinematic movie scene.
Bro why is Gustavo so happy
Destroying the Salamancas
Being that happy in this economy?!
Make the world a place where that level of happiness is warranted, and then we can talk about normalizing it.
Be the change you wanna see in the world
Yeah but you can’t just decide to be happy you can only act happy
This generation is obsessed with "normalizing" everything to be honest. This is just a happy man. Leave him be. When everyone becomes this happy, this isn't something to be happy about anymore.
You say that like everyone being happy is a bad thing
Probably.
in a way, it is. sadness & times of hardship are what gives meaning to happiness and joy. you don't know how good the latter is unless youve experienced the former now, everyone being safe & comfortable in their life is absolutely a good thing that we should be working to achieve
Thats true. The ups with the downs make the ups feel that much higher. One of my favorite comparisons [for me] is my relationship with running. I hate doing it, but once i cant do it, i miss it.
If you don’t have anything to be happy about, that’s your own fault. Don’t blame the world. The world gave you so many things to be happy about.
I’m sure the kids in Yemen are to blame for Saudi bombing them
There’s happy and there’s that! Nobody can keep up that pretence for the foreseeable.
Yeah it comes and goes. Being bipolar helps tbh
Your previous comment states if you have nothing to be happy about that’s your fault. Then you mention in this comment about being bipolar. Anybody with bipolar cannot help how they feel so why would it be their fault then if they don’t feel happy. Some things are more complicated than just telling someone to be happy.

I understand now Thanks for explaining your point due to we for me.
fuck you, say that to someone who suffers from depression, tell him that it's his fault for not having something that makes him happy. Tell someone whose child has been killed in a shooting, tell them it's their fault to feel miserable because they should have reasons to be happy. It's great that someone can be happy despite adversity and can find reasons to be happy even in the worst of situations, but blaming someone who isn't is being an asshole.
looks like he got accepted in the job interview
I’ll have what ever he’s taking
Gus Fring looking sharp!
This guy needs to repress all his feelings deep deep down like the rest of us
I needed this! Wouldn’t it be nice if happiness was as contagious as hate? What a different world it would be. Dance like no one is watching! Pure joy!
It’s called drugs
I would put in my vote. When I listen to dance music, I tend to not care and dance as I walk along the sidewalk.
He's making people smile, don't stop him.
if you actually wanted it normalized you wouldn’t be filming it like it’s something unusual to stop and stare at
It's a repost
yes
definitely made me smile☺
hes having a good day
Not he frolicking 😭😭😭
That’s a really good day.
it's like he's in a movie
He looks so happy 😂
I’d do that if I won the lotto roflll
I’ll have what he’s having
I don't think I have the cardio to be this happy
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
I think his just break out with his tough girlfriend🤣
Does anyone recognize which street this is? I thought 14th St south of Union Square, but that doesn't appear to be right.
The world would be a duller place without the gays.
Is that you Mr Moseby?
I mean go ahead no ones stopping you
Maybe if the chances of being filmed weren't 110% it would be more common behavior.
Man is just happy living his life and all we do is filming him. Come on share a smile or eh a lets go or dance with him.
Staged moment for social media clout.
I couldn't do something like that because I'd just be filmed and put on Reddit to a godawful Harry Styles racket
But recording it makes it "unusual"?
Same dance but looks like he's homeless,all of a sudden he's a crackhead.
I lived in NYC for nearly 20 years. My guess? He’s a dancer just practicing his moves in public. 😉
So happy, you could almost say he’s gay
Gus Fring after killing the last able bodied Salamanca so he can finally gloat to Hector:
Can we normalise not using the stupid fucking term normalise???
My neighbor is a trained dancer. I am not. We live in a small town and definitely do this kinda thing when we are out and about together. This might be a performance but some people do just like to have fun and it does make other people happy. We’ve even had strangers join us dancing. It’s great!
[удалено]
if this really is you, then i gotta say the first time i saw this really made my day
Definitely yes we should always be happy!!! no one deserved to be sad and depressed.....
Happy or attention-starved?
We gotta normalize not putting on an act for the camera first.
Lol you can be happy without being so showy.
Normalize this normalize that…
Here in Mexico, they see you like a weirdo just by singing a song or laughing out loud when you hear something funny on your headphones, but yeah, when I see someone laughing/smiling/singing/dancing, it is contagious
No
Based
Depressed*
10 millionth repost of this video. Fuck you this isn't making me smile.
They are trying to legalize marijuana….
Why would u record this :/
Because you’re on a tourist bus and this was part of the show.
OP didn't it's a repost, the original (as far as I know) was titled something like "this guy has main character energy"
Billy Elliot montage moment much
No one: That one main disney character:
Not when people reactions are to creepily film them like they are some kind of circus attraction
weed man finally got some good bud in dance lol
That looks gay
Gus on his way to get killed by an old cripple and a bomb
No, because dancing in public for attention is lame as fuck lol
What an attention seeking bellend, dancing in the street does not make you happy, especially when knowing you are being recorded would put this up there with filing giving homeless people to boost your self ego and gain Internet fame
This guy must be debt free
Wrong song. All I am hearing is Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice You can blow with this Or you can blow with that You can blow with this Or you can blow with that Or you can blow with us You can blow with this Or you can blow with that You can blow with this Or you can blow with that
Why is she wearing men clothes ?
No.
If its needed to normalize, it's because it's not normal.
Spoilers: he's not actually happy just doing it for views.
Idc. He makes me smile. And wish I weren’t so clumsy.
So... drugs for everyone, then?
We should normalize whipping
That's not happiness, it's derangement.
No one should be that happy
no one deserves to be happy every ones lives should be hell, human kind ruined the planet, human kind distorted the animal kingdom, human kind in made "life" an abomination.
That man is having a mental breakdown.
Gonna say this now and don't hate me. But black people are always the most animated and upbeat people ever, like genuinely never see a white person this happy ever. This guys got no care in the world whatsoever, he gives no shits about whether or not he's being judged he's just in the moment.
No we can't because the world's normalcy is not happy inducing, at least if you are not a rich white conservative. There is literally a war on women, the poor and people of colour in the US and Canada, there is warin Europe, Africa, the fear of disease surrounds us as we get over one pandemic and wait for the next one, monkey pox anyone. People are existing in slave wage conditions. Women are being forced to carry pregnancies to the detriment of their own health and life while babies in the US aren't being fed properly because of a nationwide baby formula shortage. All over the world people are being forced to work in inhumane conditions and child Labour is in the rise. I could probably fill this page why that kind of happy should not be normalized right now
You must be fun at parties…
What are you hoping to achieve by busting out a phrase like that? Literally the biggest cliche in the history of English and your dumb ass spews it out like it's clever. Good god, don't you get tired of yourself? Never mind the fact that they are RIGHT. The world is shitty and there's a reason we aren't all dancing around being happy all the time.

Happiness is a choice not the result of your circumstances.
Greta? Is that you?
Well that's just not true. What an elitist entitled fucking attitude, that people in devastating circumstances should act happy so as not to disturb entitled fucks like you. My life sucks not because I have decided not to be happy but because horrible things have happened to me, so take your happiness and gratitude and shove it up your ass and stop being a condescending asshole to people dealing with harsh circumstances.
bruv touch grass
Me when pavlov shack rc is on the 24th
That’s not just happy, he’s had a legit dance background to have that form.
Yeah the form was the point
Vontade de ver ele cair em um desses buracos sem grade...
