A Reddit video titled "Raygun is the Olympic Standard" has taken the internet by storm, leaving viewers in splits and generating a flood of humorous reactions. This viral sensation has quickly become the talk of the town, with comments drawing parallels to everything from iconic movie scenes to everyday life mishaps.

One user humorously likened the performance to "Gandalf when he was attacked by Saruman," while another joked about the potential for hilariously oversized medals on chains for this event. The video features a breakdancer whose moves have sparked a mix of laughter and bewilderment. One comment noted, "There's no way the Aussie's were like 'Yeah that's her. That's our gold medal break dancer.' I'm crying, man."

The breakdancer's performance has been compared to a variety of amusing scenarios. "Looks like a fast food cashier having a seizure" and "Me trying to get comfortable again after waking up before my alarm" are just a couple of the quips that highlight the comedic nature of the display. Another user added, "Mom! Look what I can do! Stuart stop that!" capturing the childlike exuberance of the routine.

Many viewers found the performance painfully funny, with one comment reading, "Christ, it’s so painful to watch. So many memes will be born from this." The sentiment was echoed by another user who stated, "Has to be a joke," while someone else recalled watching it unfold in real time and simply thinking, "wat."

Some users pointed out the disparity between this routine and the skill level of street performers, with one stating, "You can walk down Times Square and see breakers who would put all these Olympic breakers to shame." The reactions were diverse, ranging from the suggestion to "Put a wooden spoon in her mouth so she doesn't swallow her tongue," to noting the reaction of a staff member in the background that "says it all."

The video has become an endless source of memes and jokes. One viewer remarked, "Looks like Patrick dancing 'the cramp'," and another shared a personal anecdote: "My girlfriend did this in bed last night. I have always thought she was talented, but now I have proof." The antics on display even reminded some of their toddlers' antics in public spaces, as one user commented, "My toddler does exactly those moves, usually on a supermarket floor."

In a nod to Australian culture, one comment played on a famous phrase, stating, "shrimp on the Barbie, turn, shrimp on the barbie," while another declared, "Give her the gold medal already." The performance was also humorously compared to the beloved character from "Parks and Recreation," with the comment, "Leslie Knope if she breakdanced."

This viral video has not only provided endless entertainment but also highlighted the unpredictable and often humorous side of competitive breakdancing. Whether it's the moves themselves or the reactions they inspire, "Raygun is the Olympic Standard" is a must-watch for anyone in need of a good laugh.
