Harlem Shake- #$(!#$*(#GAH!

What is this phenomenon rocking the nation? What is with this dance? I've had my fill of the different versions, as I'm sure you have as well, but since everyone is- or was- doing the Harlem Shake all over the web I thought I'd put up my personal favourites from youtube up for anyone and everyone to enjoy.

Harlem Shake - Gotham City Friends

My best friend's brother and his friends put this one together. It is my favourite version of all time, but that is just my opinion :)

Harlem Shake vFinal (NODE Edition)

I think a LOT of people would select this as their favourites, what with the overflowing posts and re-posts, tweets and re-tweets, shares and re-shares rocking the world of the Harlem Shake. It has to end somewhere, and to many people this is a perfect expression of that. I mean, what is it really? An idiot dancing in a room full of people who aren't paying any attention until one rising moment in the music where they all start dancing. Why is it so amusing? I have no idea. Someone tell me...

Harlem Shake (KORRA version)

I don't know how many people are fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender or the Legend of Korra, but I know I am. That's probably why I found this so hysterically awesome...and super, duper, über wrong.

And there you have it! I have done my civic duty, my share, in spreading the last leg of the Harlem Shake. Just keeping it real folks - as a hermit, I have to stay in touch with other people somehow. If this is the way to do so, then why not?

But seriously. WHY are we, as humans, so amused by this kind of stuff? Answers, anyone?
