Better Than Coffee: Kaiju Thriller Dance

More cynical types may pooh-pooh the Thriller flash mob phenomenon. “Meh. If you’ve seen one Thriller homage, you’ve seen them all.” But I prefer to receive each and every re-imagined Thriller dance as a precious, unique, and glorious internet snowflake. Will you join me? Let us twirl, Winona-like, reveling in their abundance.

This one is extra special:


(Thanks, Gooby!)

    Wow.
    That is one thing I was not expecting to ever see.
    Apparently I need to broaden my mind.

    I’m impressed, though. Performing some of that choreography with giant/tiny monster arms has to be difficult.

    So am I weird for knowing the names of each and every one of those monsters, except the orange, bat-eared Gilbert Gottfried look-a-alike leading the dance?
    I’m happy the DADA alien’s been getting some love, lately.

    Thanks Mer, yer a humanoid after my own heart!

    Yay!

    Paul, right back atcher, but… I only recognize half of them. I fear I am not worthy of such high praise.

    ah the strangeness of japanese tv, one minute a man is attempting to eat 10 KG of sashimi the next try to wake people up by putting squid and ice on their faces.

    For some reason 0.33 with all of them turning to the camera keeps cracking me up

    Did I HAVE to follow the “all” link? I knew I’d be sucked in, doomed to playing all of the videos on the front page, appropriately zombie-like, and wonder whether Michael ever got to see one of these mobs. YOU DID THIS TO ME, MER!

    I regret nothing.
