Those loose baggy pant legs are helpful to the illustration. I'm wondering if John Cleese had seen this, I'm seeing some Ministry of Silly Walks in these moves 😆
It does. It was an actual fashion at the time. I can't imagine what it must have been like to walk in a high wind in those trousers. Edit: I've justvtemembered what they were called: Oxford bags. This man’s aren't as extreme as some!
My parents were born in the 1920’s & she mentioned the name “Rubber Legs,” but I had no idea who she meant, but it was in relation to a famous dancer! I wonder if this is who she meant?!?!
I seem to remember there was an earlier dancer, a regular in the Parisian club scene at the time of Toulouse Lautrec and who featurered in art least one of TL's posters. He was called I think Le Desosse- the boneless man.
To earlier people seeing this it must have seemed like a totally realistic illusion. To modern eyes, it is not as impressive because we’ve been jaded by constant exposure to modern street dance moves. I can picture my grandmother being stunned by this guy.
@@HolyRollerTV He admitted (on camera) to emulating Harold Lloyd, Fred Astaire, James Brown and many others and putting their moves into his own routine. On another note, If you don't see the moves that are similar, if not the same, then you need to watch it again or get glasses.
@@HolyRollerTV Yeah this may not be Lloyd, but you would have to be legally blind to not see the influence this kind of experimental dancing had on contemporary dancers and obviously in MJ's style and dancemoves, maybe not in a direct way as in the main source of reference but it sure did
..A very young Mr. Harold Lloyd here.😃💘. He doesn't look older than 25 ..maybe younger .. This could be around 1916.. just my humble opinion ..🎞️🎥🕯️🙏🌹💐🌴🗿🏆
Last silent movie was made in 1935. 1935 love story Legong: Dance of the Virgins, which director Henri de la Falaise shot on location in Bali with an all-native cast.
The 'Elastic Dancer' looks a lot like Harold Lloyd .🕵️.😳. because it IS Harold Lloyd 😎..😮🤗😄. ..A few years before International Superstardom ... very young man here .. I'm guessing recorded around 1914 - - 1916... just adorable here.. .😃😍😄 🙂🤗

This young brutha is a true talent.🤣
He's brilliant and so fit. There was so much amazing talent back then - especially within Hollywood.
he's from Battersea, London.

Even if I was 20 when he does those knee drop jumps, my knees cry... they like to pop out of place! JEZUZ
I saw some break dancing! So he invented that too.
Try this in front of the TV when hubby is watching the game😂
Danceur Elastique est Magnifique!
Wish they had music back in those days...
Можно было сделать это сейчас, сделав музыкальную накладку. Ведь тогда снимали ещё немое кино, музыка играла в зале при просмотре фильма.

The baggy clothing helps to sell the illusion.

moonwalk? phssssss MJ aint got nuttin on dis dude.
Space walking to the Moon.
Well, Michael Jackson stole every dance move he had from Bob Fosse. He even stole the one-glove thing.

Just like Elvis couldn't touch BIG MOMA THORTON!!!!!!
Absolument génial

I think so, yes!
They probably meant Rubberlegs Williams.

The boneless wonder, I think.

Прикольно. Предтеча буги-вуги, электропопа, робота и прочего))
The origin of break-dancing, for sure! Good way of getting rid of all your pesky built-up energy!
The Ministry of Silly Walks is proud.
He was great.
А де ён щас?
@@НиколайМихайличенко-м7в This video is 90
years old. Where do you think he is?
Check out the "Happy Feet" segment in the early color film "King of Jazz". A wow!
Earl “Snake Hips” Tucker is on another bonelessness level. You should check him out.
I bet that Jackson studied this tape. Too many moves are the same/almost the same.
MJ spoke many times on the influence!
@@HolyRollerTV Jackson said he did, there is no crap.

Do you mean 1923?

According to the internet this is Jack Stanford, the Dancing Fool, performing in a movie from 1933, The Elastic Dancer.
I would like to know the Jazz tune he's dancing to.
Capisimo!!! Waw...
*Во все времена рождает Земля таланты* ✓
Al ver estos movimientos, pensaría que Michael Jackson tomo muchos de éstos y los aplicó a su danza.
A 1933 film? I don't think so. It seems to be shot ten years before, at the height of the silent films era.
The band Canadian Serenaders is from around 1930. That’s all I could find on them, so far.
I agree...it does look much earlier! Maybe the British used older type film...? Vaudeville days.
Last silent movie was made in 1935. 1935 love story
Legong: Dance of the Virgins, which director Henri de la Falaise shot
on location in Bali with an all-native cast.
Just because new tech is invented, doesn't mean everyone takes it up straight away.
Brit entertainer Jack Stanford c. 1920s.
Lots of info on him.
NOT Harold Lloyd.
Thanks! That fits in better!
I’m grateful to you for telling us, as of course I am to the uploader of this treasure.
I could tell it wasn’t Harold from the face, but I thought it might be a HL impersonator…
No. This IS Harold Lloyd. Jack Stanford looks very different. Either way it certainly isn't Jack Stanford. Doesn't look like him at all.
Looks like Harold Lloyd 😊
Cómo se llama?.
This is me when I'm waiting for the bathroom but the 5 teenagers won't get out of it.
What does straight Paree call him?
Arnie are you wonky,
Arnie are you wonky,
Are you wonky, Arnie?
Looks like Jack Stanford to me ??? But of course i am much too young to know 🤣
Нет, это не он.
Ont dirait Harold Loyd avec sont ptit cannotier et ces lunette d écaille.
Where's me washboard??
Nat Jackley lives!
his legs affter this!
Who is he
This is waaaayyyy earlier than 1933
He looks like Harold Lloyd.
Later his soul got born in Michael Jacksons body. I'm sure
This looks like Jack Stanford
O verdadeiro molenga.
I can imagine he wasn't doing that much into his 30s 😅
Looks a bit like Harold Lloyd.....
This looks like 1923, not 1933. Who's the dancer, it almost looks like Harold Lloyd.
Jack Stanford and I agree it’s more 1920’s than 30’s
.. It is Harold Lloyd...❤🕯️🙏🌹💐🌴🏆
🗿
People should realise there was no dole, you ether found something to do or you starved
He was just waitin’ for TikTok
This needs music.
needs a great rock track to this.
F-FFFFFFFFF-FREESTILER
Imagine him being drunk.
Мая так ни уметь. Сцуко.😢😢
i beleve the dancer in question is al "rubber legs" norman.
!!!!
It is Harold Lloyd 100%
Jack Stanford, 100%

why is this so old
It's not; it was made in 2020 during the pandemic. That's why everyone has a mask on in the audience.
It's created by a thing called time.
Harold Lloyd ?

its Jack Stanford
I found a website where they say «I think it's Jack Stanford the elastic dancer of this video». It looks not very sure.
not every lanky black-and-white guy in glasses is Harold Lloyd.
Snake dancer
It is female dancing
That is the proof that hip hop dancing is not from black people of America
Black people were doing dances like this way before the 1930s. This guy just studied black dancers before him.
He died after this film was taken
So did lots of people.
Moves are nothing like Michael's. It lacks the soul and rhythm michael had.
wtf is this shxt 😂😂😂😂😂
why is this so old
Because the film was hidden behind a bookcase for 91 years.
Where's me washboard?
Because.........it was filmed a long time ago, the more pertinent question is why are you watching it!?!
