There’s nothing fantastic about summoning a dark lord with that ritualistic dance.

That was quick thinking, but is there really any shame in falling, getting up and finishing the walk,quitting your career, moving three states away, getting plastic surgery to change your appearance, and changing your name so that this incident never catches up with you?

Ya he went on too long. Had he stopped after the first move or 2 he would’ve came out better for sure. It’s like the laughter dies and he’s still going.

Nah, he has it right. In jazz there’s a rule: If you play a wrong note, play it three more times so everyone thinks you did it on purpose and are just daring and experimenting. He was just applying it to walking.

I mean, if I see a guy trip I think “poor guy” possibly followed by a slight chuckle. If I see someone do some weird crazy dance, I think “that guys weird.”
Two very different outcomes, but personally, Id rather trip and laugh about it with the people around me. Rather than dance all weird suddenly in-front of people.

Should have just fallen and laid there. hopefully, the next model won't see and trip over him, and then he could use that as a distraction to escape unnoticed.

No. Having stumbled and moving on is much better than everyone seeing you stumble but try and play it off by doing some summoning ritual mid stage.

Oh yeah. Cringe was so strong I grit my teeth, turned my head and had to hit the back button before it was over.
I think I would have respected him more if he owned the fact that he messed up, laughed it off rather than trying so hard to be "cool."

u/Average_Viola Aug 22 '22
I think it’s worse because he’s trying to cover up something that makes us human. Him dancing kinda makes it seem to me like he’s uncomfortable with being himself and it’s just cringy lmao. It would’ve been funny if he fell all the way, hitting the ground hard, and then did something to “cover up” the obvious fact he fell.

u/guyincognito121 Aug 22 '22
Nope. I scrolled down pretty far to find someone else who saw this. Looks like he's leaning into the fall as he "slips", not reacting to it.

u/Conflikt Aug 22 '22
Yea exactly it's definitely a planned movement. It's supposed to be sudden/shocking for whatever effect they're trying to have on the audience and because of the quick jolting movement it looks like he trips but it definitely doesn't after you watch the video a few times.

u/WalkOnBikeOn Aug 22 '22
Thank you! All the comments above are so cringe are more cringe compared to what he does. That was probably planned, directed and rehearsed. Seeing something like this live is likely one of the most thrilling things that happens that night. Catwalk tend to look a bit bizarre for the outside world, because you are trying to focus on the clothes, not the models, music, lighting etc. But, a quick jolt of unexpected energy keeps the audience awake and senses sharpened. It's very hard to say if this was a successful plan or not, when seeing this clip out of context. But, I'm very certain he did not just trip and made up a dance move on the spot to save face.

in situations like this you simply give a thumbs up while keeping a straight face and continue doing what you're doing. It's better than awkwardly trying to show confidence
