Amusing Video Shows Olympic-Level Dance Moves Gone Wrong

A popular video titled "Just give'em one of these" has taken Reddit by storm, leaving viewers in stitches. The video opens with a quirky line, "Alright, here's the 411 folks. Say some gangster is dissing your fly girl. Just give him one of these," followed by a dance performance that has sparked a myriad of reactions from the online community.

The dance move, humorously referred to as "the sprinkler," has inspired one commenter to joke, "She did the sprinkler in the Olympics. Now I will be able to act like an Olympic athlete when dancing at Aunt Tina’s next wedding." This sentiment echoes the light-hearted and almost surreal nature of the performance.

Another viewer reminisced about the announcement of break dancing in the Olympics, stating, "I remember when I first heard that break dancing was going to be in the Olympics. I was like 'yeah. That makes sense. The stuff I've seen online is unreal.' This was not what I had in mind." The humorous disconnect between expectation and reality is a recurring theme in the comments.

A nod to pop culture is evident with a user remarking, "All I see is Stuart. 'Look what I can do!'" referencing the character from Mad TV. Likewise, another user exclaimed, "Wow, Elaine really made it to the Olympics," drawing a parallel to Elaine Benes' infamously awkward dance moves in Seinfeld.

The comments continue with a mix of bewilderment and amusement, such as, "She’s only danced in front of her mom who tells her, ‘you’re great honey’!" and "What is she doing? How did she qualify?" This comedic critique extends to a playful jab at Olympic judging criteria: "Olympic break dancers are judged on 4 things: Coolness, Dopeness, Freshness, Dancing Ability."

One user humorously compared the dance to a Pokémon move, writing, "Magikarp uses splash . . . . *Nothing happens*," while another made a nostalgic reference, "Been too long since we've had a Shooting Stars mix." The video has clearly struck a chord with viewers, blending humor with a touch of nostalgia.

Despite the mixed reviews, the video has sparked a conversation about the evolution of Olympic sports and the varying levels of talent on display. As one user put it, "I wish there was some way someone could go back in time, and show the ancient Greeks competing in the original games what we've made of the competition." This comment humorously underscores the stark contrast between the historical origins of the Olympics and modern-day inclusions like break dancing.

In the end, the video titled "Just give'em one of these" serves as a delightful reminder of the diverse and sometimes unexpected talent that captures the internet's attention. While not everyone may be ready for this level of "breakdancitude," it certainly provides a good laugh and a unique perspective on what it means to be an Olympic athlete in today's world.

Sometimes you should actually dance like someone is watching.

I remember when I first heard that break dancing was going to be in the Olympics. I was like "yeah. That makes sense. The s*** I've seen online is unreal." This was not what I had in mind.

As someone that USED to break. The people that I have seen competing have been very underwhelming. Sad to see because there are some that could really highlight the athleticism and beauty of the form
