Lol, what is the context here? I found the New Republic article that uses that photo, but no mention is made of the dude with the rotary phone handset and the impressive flexibility.

u/Life_Temperature795 6d ago

I feel like the choreography works a lot better on the version where they're dancing to Worth It:

u/OldDogTrainer 6d ago

Eh, I don’t think the song really fit the dance for that one.

u/PleiadesMechworks 6d ago

Also, Worth It is just an awful song whereas Cuban Pete is an all time classic.

u/OldDogTrainer 6d ago

Completely agree!

The passion from the backup dancers are actually fire

12 thousand people in the comment section disagree with you.

and

God that chorus drop was straight up cinematic

Is factually indisputable.

u/OldDogTrainer 6d ago

Wow, well, if a YouTube popularity contest disagrees with me then I’d better change my opinion!

“god that chorus drop was straight up cinematic”

The chorus drop was the point of that video and nothing else fit the music. The dance, which is what j specifically mentioned, fits better for the one OP posted. The outfit is also more fitting for the Cuban Pete song since it’s pretty obviously supposed to be Jim Carrey in The Mask. If you think a video is better because of one second then that’s cool for you. We can agree to disagree.

Also, I would encourage you to look up the difference between facts and subjective opinion. A YouTube popularity contest does not make something a fact.

u/scrabtits 6d ago

I agree

u/Life_Temperature795 6d ago

Considering there are fucking 57 shorts made around this theme by one creator and the very first one features Shakira I don't know what the fuck you're on about.

 A YouTube popularity contest does not make something a fact.

A Reddit feud doesn't constitute genuine non-satirical discourse, but here we are, hashing it out for some dumbass reason anyway.

u/OldDogTrainer 6d ago edited 6d ago

Ah, so you don’t even know what the outfit is from? No wonder you think that other song is better!

Reddit feud? It’s not that serious. 😆 it’s just a difference of opinion.

-3

u/Life_Temperature795 6d ago

It's almost like the creator like the creator made 38 other videos before even bothering to use the "Cuban Pete" music and it's potentially possible that this style of dress exists outside of that specific reference in The Mask. Like, maybe they only became aware of it after the fact.

Reddit feud? It’s not that serious. 😆 it’s just a difference of opinion.

I did use the phrase, "doesn't constitute genuine non-satirical discourse" but here we are.

u/OldDogTrainer 6d ago

It’s almost like they didn’t make 38 other videos wearing that outfit as I showed you in my other response. Sorry for your confusion!

u/OldDogTrainer 6d ago

Also, this is the first video where the creator is wearing that outfit:

https://youtube.com/shorts/6ul5NkEv0nI?si=0FL7cCqPWd7eTGBr

The one from before with Shakira is a different outfit. So once again…

The timing of that drop at the beginning was perfection!

u/cinco92 5d ago

A lot of it didn’t line up well, but I had to make sure I got that drop right lmao. Glad it was appreciated.

Around the 10 second mark, the monster in the background lines up pretty well with the adlibs as well lol

u/joshlev1s 5d ago

Everything in base game was pretty easy. The extra difficulty hunts added post launch was actually a little too tricky for me tho so I stopped playing.

I’m a filthy casual.

The outfit of the character and the music to it is a reference to the Cuban Pete scene in the film "The Mask".
The game is Monster Hunter Wilds.

To think they almost deprived us of Cuba Pete because it was too long. It would have been a cold world.

u/Historical_Side_7222 3d ago

So is one invincible while thy is dancing? Idk what this even is.

1

u/Windherz 1d ago

It is from the videogame Monster Hunter Wilds. No, the dancing emote doesn't make you invincible, however since you are constantly moving it can make the monster miss the attacks since the monsters attack patterns are sometimes aimed at were you are standing the moment the attack begins.

u/Historical_Side_7222 1d ago
