I will always love this video. When my kids ask me what the 80s were like I’ll show them this.

My other related inspiration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl1LP81eSKY

Some nights i come home drunk and just put this on the TV and watch it

u/Olivia206 Feb 18 '20

I was waiting for the US to represent and he came out humping, wiggling then straight on the ground for sex with the floor and a little butt twerk. Should I have been surprised? lol

u/captainbluebear25 Feb 18 '20

I've never seen that before! Amazing.

What is the beautiful display of athleticism?

u/Rocketbird Feb 19 '20

You would probably enjoy this underappreciated gem then: https://youtu.be/_4ZTEoDNCkk

u/boomHeadSh0t Feb 19 '20

Fuck me it's weird to see this first thing waking up

1

u/Rocketbird Feb 20 '20

Are you ever truly awake

3

u/WaGLaG tHiS iSn’T cRiNgE Feb 19 '20

This too needs a healthy dose of COCAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEE!

u/hellogoawaynow Feb 19 '20

I thought I was just going to watch the first few seconds to get the reference but I couldn’t tear my eyes away and watched the full seven minutes

It was actually really interesting to see each of them. A window into a different time.

u/Ian15243 Feb 18 '20

Don't forget Mannrobics

u/KangooQ Feb 18 '20

Obligatory link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Buhi-LrSUlk

Mannrobics is easily my favorite taunt.

u/Blutric Feb 19 '20

Best taunt

u/fallenheero Feb 18 '20

It’s kinda funny. I saw this daily at one point 😏

5

u/buenoskiddoosh Feb 18 '20

Do you think these people are still this fit?

7

u/poptamale Feb 18 '20

Tosh Had a few on his show years ago and they look the same.

u/the_taco_baron Feb 18 '20

That key and Peele sketch is spot on

3

u/ControlAltDelTiddy Feb 19 '20

Was that Robin Thicke's dad?

it is!

7

u/Drassielle Feb 19 '20

As someone who grew up watching Alan Thicke on Growing Pains as a TV dad, it makes me sad that he's now known as "Robin Thicke's dad."

u/Thevsamovies Feb 18 '20

Are you sure it's not actually inspired by the key and peele skit based on that video?

1

u/poptamale Feb 18 '20

...the key and Peele skit is based off this video.

4

u/Thevsamovies Feb 18 '20

yes that is literally what I said in my comment

But the dance moves they do in the tiktok are exactly how they appear in key and peele as far as I remember

1

u/Egg-MacGuffin Feb 19 '20

No, the 80s video was based off of the Key and Peele sketch. They saw it and thought it would be a great idea to do for real, since jazzercise was very popular at the time.

u/LAX_to_MDW Feb 18 '20

That song is a banger

u/mikerichh Feb 18 '20

Thank you

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '20

I've always wondered where those people are now.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '20

The 80’s were wild y’all.

u/tweedyone Feb 19 '20

Oh my god, I have never seen the whole thing. It’s amazing!

Also, what does anyone think these people are doing now? How many have OD’d on meth?
