@@mr.awesome8021 It's called strobing. If you wave your hand under a strobe light, your hand is in one position, the light goes off, comes back on, and it's in a slightly different position. In order to do this move really well, you literally have to twitch your whole body in unison. So he's basically "starting and stopping" his body really fast while moving. Just like a strobe light, your brain thinks you're moving in slow motion.
The swirly-wirly body moves were great. But then he pulls off that stop motion thing which kind of messes with your mind. Very effective. Was 23 when I first saw this. Now 42. Bloody hell.
thanks, always wondered if there was a name for it. even more mind-bending is that he’s strobing only with his hands and arms while the lower half of his body is moving perfectly fluidly and in “slow motion”. so it’s like suddenly time is moving in two different directions, then back to normal lol
He was filmed dancing for the original Apple iPod commercial campaigns. The ones with the bright colors and silhouettes with white ear buds with white cords 👍🏼
@@DoubleMonoLR Let’s see, he was the iPod’s original dancer, he’s done about 50 TV commercials, he’s been in a half dozen movies Including Alice in Wonderland, hes choreographed majors stars, And was working with Michael Jackson directly in Las Vegas when MJ passed away. The original video is estimated to be the eighth most popular video ever on RUclips. Yeah, I’m sure he knows how legendary he is.

This video is not only legendary cuz of the level of David's dance but because it goes deep into my brain and brings me back yo really positive times in my life.
I remember seeing this video in high school (~2006) and being mesmerized. I don't think I've seen the video since then until now.

This video was out in the early days of Ebaumsworld. Ebaums was out quite a while before youtube. This vid was probably uploaded to the internet in 2001 to ebaums
I think we're seeing a moment that genuinely revolutionized dance, caught on camera. Like he taught himself all this ground breaking stuff, and revealed it to the world in this moment. This is the real life history of dance, or as close as any moment could be.
I watched this for the first time in 2011 and now it’s 2024. I was on my bed and suddenly this video came to my mind and I found it 😂. Omg time flew like anything

It's still cool af
That's what happens when you spend too much time at Raves.
It's fake
@@mikedogg8644 how is it fake?
YES
Legend has it that robot dance was so good it distorted space and time and he’s still dancing in another dimension
I can't believe this is 20 years old already....
2021 - 2005 = 16 --- Not good at math are you.
@@richardhoepfner1633 It says 2001 in the video. So thus, 20 years.
I was so obsessed with hip-hop and pop n lock as a kid and,now that I'm 20 I laugh at amogus😭.
@@richardhoepfner1633 Lol you are so dumb....you are what we girls call a HARD PASS.....HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH
@@ShinerBockGirlz And who tf do you think you are. You are a hard pass. Don't you see that? Ur comment speaks volumes little girl.
Watching over 10 years later...

And they are still living at home and can't get a job......
2018 now
OrangeSodaKing watching 13 years later XD
Grace Carrera 17 years*
Joe Bill ?
That nod at the end still gets me. He's like, "yeah, that should do it. My thanks."
Ope. Scuse me. Just gonna sneak by ya and do a little dance real quick if ya don’t mind.
That was when I lost it. LOL EPIC!
Watching this every year since 2006.
Still amazing.
This guy was so ahead of his time
This is the physical manifestation of Jim Carrey's thought process when preparing for a role.
That's perfect.
Gotta love the RUclips algorithm. It put this in my feed after 15 years. I remember when this was first uploaded
I've seen many robot dancers but this dude is still... Wow. Compare to him, other dancers look like beginners.
you haven't seen much then my friend
me also mate. for me this sets the standard
stephen khan wow u guus aint seen jack..heard of u-min? No you haven't ..KID
Jurica Barišić..
Not robot...liquid
Came searching for the kid in Orange after the Paris Olympic.
That kid deserved that Phd in dance.
Have never seen more original robot dance than this
Anyone remember watching this in 2010 and then 10 years later you find it again?
This first went viral in 2001.
See you again in 2031 mate.
Saw it on Ebaumsworld early 2000’s before RUclips existed
Still nobody better than this guy. And they've had ten years to try.
Coove83 LMAO i agree, that’s exactly what i said😂
Look for Atai Omurzakov doing Wall-E ;-) You are welcome..
Narrow minded idiots. Look at U-Min and other Japanese poppers.
Narrow minded newbies who knows nothing else but this guy. Look at Eclypse, Remote Kontrol, Robot Boys, Salah, U-Min and many other Japanese poppers.
The video was filmed in 2001, so closer to 20 years to try
This is one of the first videos on RUclips, uploaded on its first year of operation.
This video was out in the early days of Ebaumsworld. Ebaums was out quite a while before youtube. This vid was probably uploaded to the internet in 2001 to ebaums
false
Tuppoo94 z
lol yup
but the vid was recorded arround 2000?
I think we're seeing a moment that genuinely revolutionized dance, caught on camera. Like he taught himself all this ground breaking stuff, and revealed it to the world in this moment. This is the real life history of dance, or as close as any moment could be.
What an all time classic. STILL the best robot I've seen to this day.
Once in a lifetime routine. Glad someone caught it on camera. Amazing.
First saw this when I was in high school. 19 years later, still a legend.
He starts off as Clark Kent....turns into Superman....then with a little head nod at the end returns back to being Clark Kent....Superb!
I'm writing this from the 32nd Century. We love this dude. The Historical Documents detail his fame.
Galaxy Quest lives on? =)
How he makes himself look like he's in a strobe light. Just genius.
Yeah that bit was quite cool. Plot twist: he is actually a robot..
I've been watching this video for 10 years, and despite the billions of videos uploaded here since then, I haven't seen anything like this guy yet !!!
I watched this for the first time in 2011 and now it’s 2024. I was on my bed and suddenly this video came to my mind and I found it 😂. Omg time flew like anything
That glitchy move at 1:17 was boss
laaaaaagggg
EastSideBlitz1337 holy shite that looks like lag
Its looks like the frame rate is slowing down.
its called strobe light liquid or strobe popping
Someone picked up the phone.
After all these years... Still the dopest video I've ever stumbled upon.
I agree. This is the coolest video on RUclips.
I saw this so many years ago and that guy's performance is still legendary.
It's now 2025 and this is still the best robot dance to me. Congratulations my guy because you deserve it. 👌👍☝️🍾🎊🎉
Crowd cheers for the first guy.
The guy in orange: Hold my CPU
^ shamefully ^ underrated ^ comment ^
@@bricology truuuue
Liked!
For anyone wondering. This dude has a dance career. Being in the Tim Burton's Alice and Wonderland and even a dancer for Michael Jackson.
I was about to say.
Whats his name?

1:17, after over ten years I still can't understand how the hell he did that strobe light effect. That's insane.
Hes actually a robot pretending to be human
@@danielportillo56 He's a robot doing human dance. 😂
@@Spyro_Synaes_Symbio_SPYR017 exactly xD
@d I trust your advice.
It's a carefuly-controlled precision seizure.
I feel for those first two guys. Perfect example of how you get your momentary glory and how it fades away right the next moment.
That random ”moonwalk” -
sideways ”steps-thingy ” he does when his time is out. Says something what a natural talent he is/was.👍🏼
I’m come back to this video every half a year to see this masterpiece.♥️
I do that, too! Need my six-month fix... : )
He literally got a collab with Michael Jackson just before his death
