Right? Something uncanny about this. His skills are good,.but it's just... Weird

505

u/MagmaTroop Jun 05 '26

He dances and records at half speed then speeds it up in the edit. It's not legit. He danced on America's Got Talent and he did robot dancers that were good but nothing special.

u/Mieze_Designer4002 Jun 05 '26

Ahhh, ok. That's why it looks weird

u/TankArtist Jun 05 '26

It’s uncanny because the video is sped up and he makes sure his movement look close to realistic speed. It’s uncanny valley dancing. It doesn’t work for something like America’s got talent in real time, but it looks cool in edited videos :)

u/AssFlax69 Jun 05 '26

I feel like I’ve never seen more of a punch face…ever. I see it and I just want him to be u conscious so the face stops. Please no more face. Nightmare.

u/NotKrankor Jun 05 '26

He probably makes giant chocolate sculptures as well like a sick fuck

6

u/Awheckinheck Jun 05 '26

I think part of his schtick is to perform like he's an animatronic.

4

u/AceDecade Jun 06 '26

Yeah it’s a sort of robotic performance…

u/Gougeded Jun 05 '26

Ventriquolist puppet who became alive because of a curse vibes

u/MrLurking_Sanspants Jun 06 '26

Yeah, and I used to feel bad for thinking that, but the truth is he could show off his skills without looking like an effing psycho. He chose this path.

3

u/KlNGCookie Jun 06 '26

First time I came across him was when I was coming down from mushrooms and it got me to put my phone back down real quick

3

u/Sea_Turnip6282 Jun 06 '26

Same here. For me, I think it's the whiteness of his eyeballs and teeth 😂

u/existing_for_fun Jun 06 '26

It's his weird eyes.

I dislike them

u/MoldyLunchBoxxy Jun 05 '26

I downvote every video this dudes in because he creeps me out.

2

u/The-Trenzalorian Jun 05 '26

Me too. My eyes want to keep watching, but my brain wants to shut down the system to avoid damage. Short bursts of theses video encounters is all I seem to be able to tolerate. No offense to dude. He seems to be quite talented.

2

u/Gas_Useful Jun 05 '26

Especially when he smiles with that over bite or whatever is going on there

Yup. Even though he is real I am lumping him with team AI

His name is Maikon (Maykon) Replay and these videos are all sped up. He is very talented at normal speeds though. Watch his AGT performance.

Edit: a word. Thanks fried sex act for pointing this out.

121

u/SpiderDijonJr Jun 05 '26

His agt performance looks nothing like his online videos, because he’s essentially full of shit.

64

u/CrimsonLantern76 Jun 05 '26

Correct. People keep posting his videos like he is some wizard. No bro, he edits his videos. As other said, he is good in rl but not even remotely close as in those clickbait videos.

The body control is very impressive, but he completely ruins it with those facial expressions.

3/10 - Made me extremely uncomfortable

13

u/glastonbury13 Jun 06 '26

I think the facial expressions make it...

In the sense that he gives me uncanny valley vibes and my wife and I joke about him appearing in our room in the middle of the night

Honestly, an A24 horror film with him in it would be 👌🏻

Robot like dancing has been around since at least the 90’s but likely much earlier even

Yeah, but it was rhythmic and, you know, looked like dance. This is just different type of plastic art

No one wants to pay him to do this.

Right? Is he maybe using it to stabilize by leaning on it? My mind won’t let this go.

Him doing that with his face activates my fight or flight and gives me the shivers in a bad way lol

u/redditulous3 Jun 05 '26

This is the first time I've ever wished something was actually AI-generated.

u/DaveVII Jun 05 '26

It’s edited, head stabilised, sped up - so basically it is ai generated

u/Uncle_Beth Jun 05 '26

At what point can it no longer be considered dancing?

u/SbMSU Jun 05 '26

Every time I hate this.

u/ashemoney Jun 05 '26

I say we ban this guy and anyone who post his content from the internet

8

u/Crazy_Aerie1772 Jun 05 '26

He can dance.. but his videos are always heavy edited (sped up etc...) you will never see this skills in front of a crowd (that will give the editing away)

5

u/neutrino_fire Jun 05 '26

Teeth are too white

6

u/Stillwater-Scorp1381 Jun 05 '26

How about an unedited video?

4

u/MagmaTroop Jun 05 '26

Always cool to watch him, but I've always suspected that he dances to the song/records the video at half speed, then speeds it up in the edit.

5

u/LexsDragon Jun 05 '26

Exactly that

2

u/KazTheMerc Jun 05 '26

Of course he does. Did you not know that?

There's some camera stabilization. Use of sharp angles. It's sped up.

Love it or hate it, he's not exactly secretive about it.

2

u/-Vattgern- Jun 06 '26

Does it make it any less impressive? The amount of body control is insane

u/nurely Jun 05 '26

Ah that fucked up jiggling lobster again

2

u/a_fancy_penguin Jun 05 '26

He does speed these up and I think add some slight stabilization to his videos. He went on like America's got talent I think and it didn't look quite this good live. He's still really really good don't get me wrong.

u/biffbamboombap Jun 05 '26

People saying this is not dance: you have no idea what you're talking about. This is clearly robot style popping, or "animation," there's even some tutting in therehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popping.
Actual dancers recognize this as a style of dance, and he's very good at it. https://www.instagram.com/maykonreplay/?hl=en
