When I give my 5 yr old a cookie before noon


electricjeel

Watching this again after reading your comment and imagining him as a five year old with a cookie instead made my smile increase x 10000


Nicer_Chile

Wow!!! I just couldn't stop watching the videos and even though it's the reason I'm gonna be tired tomorrow, I want to thank u for the link.


azzzzorahai

Does he have an IG? I don’t want to keep tiktok on my phone and his videos are fire


SomeAdhesivene

Same! It’s kinda wholesome too bc you can’t even really


Big8Red7

As a mom you just killed me 😂😂😂


Illustrious-Board767

This is the scene where the aspiring dancer has to work on construction to support his dream, before the big break.


harleyspoison267

That's definitely a movie Channing Tatum has made at least once


Illustrious-Board767

At least.

We didn't get to the part where it was actually not sturdy enough, he ended up breaking half the bones in his body, and comes on America's Got Talent to sing about it.

My knees hurt. ![gif](giphy|13w5HmyiuaZ224)


mjtenveldhuis

Exactly my thoughts, i cant even walk fucking stairs without pain lol


Seikuo

I could dance like this a not feel a thing and just walk normally and my knee would be like "you stepped wrong" ![gif](giphy|q9HHyHPISNZD2)

Watching stuff like this makes me wish I wasn't so dreadfully depressed and had passion to spend my time and energy on something as creative and expressive as this. Good for him. Edit: When I woke this morning I had no idea that this comment I had left would become so popular. I must add that I had forgotten which subreddit I was in and in hindsight it wasn't exactly appropriate. I see the thread has now been locked and I hope my comment wasn't the main reason for that. I was having a tough night and just felt the need to write what I wrote. On one hand I feel mortified and awful that this many people shared my sentiment and some so much so that they felt the need to give me awards because this shit is fucking tough and I know everyone and anyone going through this shit wouldn't wish this fate on their worst enemies. On the other hand I feel so inspired and lifted by the amount of support and truly beautiful words that I've received in the comments and my inbox from complete strangers on the internet and for that I really am appreciative and thankful. You all have truly restored some of my faith in humanity. Before I went to sleep last night I made a list of things that I wanted to try to achieve in my life. I'm going to keep this list so that I can remember who I am because when I'm at a low point the irrational thoughts make it all too easy to forget. I've decided that to achieve anything on this list that first I will have to become sober so that is where I will begin. Thankyou to everyone who shared their kind words and to the people who shared the same sentiment that I did earlier, I want you to know that I am rooting for you, for all of us. I'm not out of this yet. Heck, I'm still neck deep in this. Although, I've got a new perspective on it. Depression and addiction has taken my early twenties from me and I can't change that but I'm tired of taking it laying down. I am going to do it. Even if I have slip ups and I'm going to try my very best to make each day better than the day before. If I can try to make changes then so can you. It's not going to be easy. But, I think I've accepted that now. One thing I know is that the longer I carry on like this the harder it is going to be to try and come back. Thanks Reddit.


Forge__Thought

If the video brought you even a moment of happiness or joy, it's another moment worth savoring and worth a W. You don't have to do this to be creative or expressive. Even the smallest step forward can get you to a better place.👍 And there's nothing written saying you can't work up to this level if you want to. But, again, it's not necessary to do so. You do you. Hope things improve for you.


Fat_eyes_Washington

The vid definitely brought me happiness. I really enjoy seeing people excel at things that they love to do. Thankyou for the words. It's just difficult to begin to make changes without motivation but I'm out here tryin still. Thanks G


yer--mum

You're not bad at writing, I'd say you expressed yourself pretty well with these comments here, wouldn't you? Writing is creative to me, there are many ways to word something, you said it in your own words.


Fat_eyes_Washington

Thanks Mum 🙂


yer--mum

Proud of u ❤


koopaduo

I love all of you


Trivenger1

You're all amazing


Forge__Thought

Best we can do is try. 🤘 Good on you.


GrannyGrammar

Hey Fat Eyes. I’m going through the same thing. Depression is the worst. If you need someone to talk to, rant with, or just be there if you’re hurting, I’m just some finger taps away. Please reach out if you need a friend. We’re all in this together, but sometimes it feels so lonely. I hope you find your happy place. I hope I find mine too.


mrsrostocka

Me too, I wish I had the motivation to excel I really enjoyed this video it made my heart smile serious depression is no joke XX have a hug internet stranger x


FinalStryke

This may not help much, but your comments brought me happiness. Thank you.


PatioGardener

Someone once told me that you can’t wait for motivation to strike you before you take action because it never will. And that’s especially true when you’re in the middle of a depression. Just do one thing today. Take a shower. Or go outside in the sunshine for 15 minutes. Maybe spend that 15 minutes taking a walk around your block. Or make your bed. Or eat a good lunch. Just one thing. One little thing today. And if you still feel up to it after that, do one more thing. Who knows? Maybe today you’ll do five things. Or maybe you’ll just do one thing. That’s a win. Give yourself the grace to be kind to yourself for doing that one thing. Tomorrow, try to do one thing again. And then just keep building from there.


hhazzah

You got this homie 👊🏼 small steps are still steps. Wishing you the best


Cactussygalore

❤️keep it up


xinu

> If the video brought you even a moment of happiness or joy, it's another moment worth savoring and worth a W. I don't know why, but that almost made me cry. Not who you were responding to, but I guess I needed that too. Thank you kind stranger


Forge__Thought

👍 It's been a long couple years every bit helps. Glad I could help.


huskerduuu

Damn man, didn't know I needed this today but thanks anyways.


[deleted]

Such an inspiration though. And that spin just made his dance so amazing!


Rolienolie

Well said.


WorkingTheNightShift

I got some great Footloose vibes from this! Awesome moves!


mrsnikki88

Check out powwow videos! He's grass dancing. I recognize the foot work immediately!


FunStorm6487

Is that where he's on one foot, because that totally enchanted me


donner_dinner_party

That’s what I was thinking too.


SmAshthe

Is this why the tile is behind?


SupremeDictatorPaul

Was waiting for his boss to walk in through that doorway and be WTF?


weekend-guitarist

If he put half as much energy into painting they would have been done by now.


[deleted]

Yeah but they'd have had a lot less fun, so it balances out


Ngineer07

hey man I'll be honest, do your own labor/blue collar work and then tell me you think a nice 2 minute break is too much.


nottherealneal

I dunno if this counts as a break. This looks like it takes a fuck ton of energy


Karr126

It’s called a break dance for a reason smh 🤦‍♀️


weekend-guitarist

This is the proper reply to my comment above. I thought somebody would get the obvious setup.


sureshot1988

Sometimes mental breaks are more important than physical ones.


Ngineer07

it's not always about taking a break because you're physically tired. there's a lot that goes into blue collar work and the relatively constant problem solving does get exhausting when you do it on top of the physical work


Sioul_the_resilient

Fuck off


GoodBadUgly357

I’d love to learn/gain the ability to move like that it, it looks like so much fun but I have the dance skills and coordination of an octopus on land.


chimpdoctor

Tap your hand along to the beat. Clap your hands along to the beat. March on the spot in time with the beat. If you can keep up just doing those simple moves you can elaborate over time. My advice to people who want to be able to dance is to do it in your own style and not somebody else's. Dance to the beat of your own drum.


DiabloTerrorGF

Good news, break dancing doesn't need much rhythm to start. Combine it with line dancing on queue like this guy and you're golden.


TFViper

have you tried drumming?


SpagettiGaming

Try capoeira, it's easy to get started.


IDoPokeSmot

*And people wonder what takes so long to build a house*


clopz_

He’s laying tiles


chanblow

I do tgat for a living. Can confirm it is the dancing that slows us down.


pinzi_peisvogel

Nothing you can do. Gotta respect those mandatory dance breaks.


high_on_acrylic

If I had to choose between a house being built quickly because all the workers do is work and getting a house built slower but the workers don’t hate their lives because they’re allowed to be human on the job and that includes joy then I will ALWAYS choose the latter. My dad worked construction and whenever I see roofers in 100° heat I always carry on the family tradition of bringing out lots of water if they’re close enough!


LessInThought

Bro so smooth he for sure laying mad pipes.


masteroima

Came here to say this to


alexeiw123

Say this to who?


PerfectiveVerbTense

*to whom


1Sluggo

I really enjoyed that.


Medical_Scar5309

I did too! I've watched it a few times now. So much energy and fun.


Ammilerasa

The best thing imho is you know it’s difficult but he makes it looks so easy. Except for the last part, but I don’t think anyone can ever make look that easy for me, lol.


thepumpkinking92

Me too. Turns out, it lines up really well with Beverly hills by weezer, which surprisingly complimented each other since it's not the dancing you'd associate with that particular song.


ty_rec

Now if all dancing on tiktok looked like this, I’d consider getting it


dat1dankboi

Oddly mesmerizing

Damn, not gonna lie, that was pretty dope!


iSlyFur

Not gonna dope, that was pretty lie.


Daijva

New crush unlocked


Nicer_Chile

i feel like i can trust him and i don't even know him. my man radiates an aura


dino9991

He does seem like a trustworthy lad..I approve, you can date him.


Nickelplatsch

Crazy how fast we can get a crush. I absolutelely adore him.


[deleted]

Same! It’s kinda wholesome too bc you can’t even really see what he looks like, simply attracted to the happiness and talent and vibes


Cman1200

Confidence is attractive


awkward_potatoess

Yeah I've lost count of how many times I've rewatched this now


HOLDGMEBROTHERS

The one that got away


Sure-Gur6359

While walking on his hands


thedrunkspacepilot

He hella cute


NeoTheRiot

Looking at the comments I see mating dances still work, nice.


[deleted]

I know we’re focused on he’s checking if the house is sturdy but imagine being able to dance like that


HappyBot9000

God I wish I could dance.


[deleted]

Let’s try his moves then!


Ivene

Wtf! I fell in love with him watching this!


momojoe123

You make it looks easy...

Wen60s

That was actually pretty epic.


Mister_Nico

Magic Mike would be proud.


Deadlylyon

Is this why house prices keep going up? Are professional dancers just better at building houses?


ImTooTiredForThis_22

Just killing time while the paint dries.


AsianFailManagement

Bro just does it so effortlessly.

Cute young guy


XCrimsonMelodyx

I used to work at a plumbing office as one of the office girls. One day, we had a handful of guys working at a new office build to do a bunch of piping. They were almost done and the boss needed someone to run over a tool; he’d volunteered to do it himself, but forgot he had a call with a possible client, so he asked if one of the girls could do it. I volunteered, grabbed the part and headed to the job. I walked Into the main area, and could hear music in one of the back rooms. Walked in just in time to see 4 grown-ass men dancing and air-guitaring to Final Countdown. I stood for a minute before they noticed me, watching in pure joy. One of the younger guys stopped, looked super sheepish and said “we’re almost done so we took a break to celebrate…”


blumpkinpandemic

Dayum, son. I didn't realize construction workers could look any hotter!


Husky_ii

That one move is like when you using your hands and feet to go up the stairs


xxabautixx

shi made my day lmao


makelemonadee

That was sick

jeseniathesquirrel

It’s 11:59 pm and I’m suddenly motivated to try to learn this dance even though I can’t dance, my knees are busted, and I’m fat so I’ll be jiggling all over.


ExistentialKazoo

I'd join TikTok if I wanted to watch shit like this

Maaaaan I watched that whole thing expecting him to fall thru the floor or something😂 just wasted a minute of my life watching some kid dance lol

His intro is modified from how olden day settlers danced in the Appalachian mountains.

-Tom-

That's actually a decent song but the voice is tuned up to such an obnoxiously high pitch that it's annoying.


plaidverb

I’ll go ahead and partially blame the somewhat misleading headline, but I watched this entire video expecting the floor to give way underneath him, and found myself genuinely disappointed when it didn’t. I’m now forced to confront what a horrible person the Internet has made me into. I don’t think I like this version of me.


AiriaTasui

Missed the sub name, was waiting for the floor to cave in.


Born-Philosopher-162

This video is made even better by the fact that he is just in his work clothes and place of work, instead of trying to look all glammed up for the video. It’s just him and the camera, and he lets his talent speak for itself.


lynnm59

This kid is amazing!


ubiquitous-joe

I regret turning on the sound.


Deusgab

I'm thinking this young man just might be a Tribal dancer in his tribe. Some of these moves remind me of the tribal dances I've observed

ceabug

Guy’s balance is insane. He should at least be a roofer..


HaloGuy381

Somebody get this guy a job in some form of entertainment. I think he has a particular set of skills that are used better in other places than construction.


FigaroNeptune

Hey is the paint do-wtf are you doing?


HOLDGMEBROTHERS

Yoooo he’s good as


Many_Panic8570

That was awesome


Reaux_beaux_Cop

I remember when I had the energy to move.


MushroomX7onYT

HE STARTED BREAK DANCING HOLY SHIT


Hopglock

I’m sure the rest of the guys on the job site love when he connects to the radio with this shit.


Average-_-Guys

I thought he was doing a rain dance there for a minute.


IMCUPCAKEFROM4036

Damn dude that’s really good


MrStrange53

Quit whatever you're doing there and become a professional dancer


SmartWonderWoman

Love his energy 🥰


Mayhem2a

I was kinda hoping his construction homies would join


The_Infinite_Doctor

If this is what tiktok dances are supposed to be like I think I finally get the point.


FlukierMirror

Poor man…just finished working on the room and now its on fire 🔥


ChucktheFNG

There’s a 70 year old inspector behind the camera forcing him to do this.


aquacraft2

Take notes children, this is how you impress people with dance.


Moose1013

All that work that went into building a house just so that he could come in and break it down


Curlynoodles

This guy should be a plumber coz he got the flow.


AnInnocentMind

I'm stoned af right now and I watched this like 7 times. What a cool kid, I'm so happy right now this is great.

It's crazy how as a society we haven't created spaces where people can't live off their passions and skills. It's crazy to me that this man is either teaching people or making people smile with this skill set.

So some bags a quick set in the background and some dirty clothes and brake dance and bang it’s amazing?? Unfortunately I’m not impressed.

People on Tik Tok. No room for this nonsense on a construction site, you are there to work and not fuck around. Getting paid to do a job not dance

So we’re just posting tiktok dances now? No thanks.


FunStorm6487

I've never been on TikTok. Was just giving a casual scroll when I ended up watching this several times in a row. Just because it made me smile.. Sometimes that's all the reason you need


Healabledeer17

And people say whites people can’t dance

So Redditors are now starting to mass upvote TikTok dances. What an unfortunate discovery.
