The third guy seemed to really be doing it because he wanted to dance. Guy #2 was mocking guy #1, and didn’t count on the fact that guy #1 took the song to heart. If the band knew what they were doing, they would have played that song another 20 times.
Corona Pyrrhus that’s just human nature for ya. We have to see someone else do it to realize it’s okay for us. We all want to fit in, and not be out of place, so we join in when others do because we realize it’s okay if others are doing it too
I’ve seen this video dozens of times over the years. The lesson I learned is that you can go from crazy man to visionary in a matter of minutes. And all you need is commitment.
@ Probably the fear of looking stupid or awkward. Which makes no sense considering this WOULD be the place to dance and groove but since not enough people were doing so, nobody partook until the man, the myth, and the legend showed up. I guess a lot of people don't like standing out.
Right? First one is a leader, second one is the brave one for joining when the rest where laughing at him, all the rest are just followers wanting to be “in”
He's simply giving the crowd a tutorial on what you're _supposed_ to do at a music festival instead of sitting there like it's a regular Tuesday night listening to music in your room.
My friend's 16yo son was getting dressed up for his first school dance and he said something about how nobody wants to be the guy dancing alone... I showed him this video and encouraged him to have a good time no matter what. He pretty much did what the dude in this video did, started a party on the dance floor and became Mr. Popular overnight.
@Tryingtosex I think they just danced, and all the dudes saw him dancing with a lot of girls and decided that he was cool. It's easy to impress virgins.
Without the 3rd or 4th or 5th or 6th or 7th or 8th or 9th or 10th or 11th or 12th or 13th or 14th or 15th or 16th or 17th or 18th or 19th or 20th or 21st or 22nd or 23rd or 24th or 25th or 26th or 27th or 28th or 29th or 30th or 31st or 32nd...... you get my point.
Actually it wouldn’t have happened without the first guy you piece of shit... the second guy is no different than all the other people who came after him. Anyone could’ve joined the first guy. And if the second guy didn’t come, eventually someone else would have. It was the first guy who is the trend setter. Everyone else is just a sheep
@@LeskoBrandon2x thank you dude, I was literally just about to write the same fucking comment. Now I don't have to, I can go back outside and do something meaningful...
the exact thing happened with my friend in a under 18 club. 100 people all talking and my friend amari starts break dancing and yelling at people to start dancing. Whole club was lit for 4 house after that. Easily the greatest man I ever knew. After that at another party he was the first to get on the roof and starting a concert with tupac in the background. then he jumps into the pool with everyones cell phone out. whole county saw that man do wut he does best, rule his people he is forever the king to my group of friends.
As a musician who's played countless gigs, small and large, over almost three decades I say, we love the crazy lone dancers! They can get the deadliest of audiences to cheer up! Be one, one day! \o/
Djs love me for that reason. Always the girl to start the dance floor lmao. Have met a lot of djs who come talk to me after their set for that reason 😅
I was at a NYE folk festival in Australia. About 11:30 a downpour started and flooded the area. The band started playing again about 11:45. My drunk stoned mate tackled me and we had a bit of a wrestle in the mud. Within 5 minutes about 200 people were mud wrestling. about 12:30 nearly everyone stripped off and went swimming in the creek. A weird and wonderful New Years.
@@liamgross7217 That's so cool. I went to carb day in Indianapolis, which is a huge concert/hangout before the Indy 500. I went for Papa Roach and Staind.. There is long hill that I was on top. I was walking toward my friends. At one point the crowd was thick, so I had to walk on the side of the hill. It was a setup. Somebody baby oiled all the way down the hill. I started sliding on my feet with my cooler rolling behind me and a beer in the other hand. I knew I was going to fall down and be covered in oil. I was getting more and more pissed off by the second. I knew my night was ruined. It must've been quite the scene. I could hear the people at the top ooooOOO, oooOOOO each time I nearly lost my balance. I was so pissed off, I knew I was going to chug a few beers and go(try to) kick somebody's ass covered in baby oil. There must've been 300 people watching. When I made it to the bottom, still, somehow, on my feet, I turned around pissed off, and the people started hooting, and hollering, cheering, and clapping. I chugged the beer in my hand, opened my cooler, then smashed another one. Round 2 of cheering started, except way more intensely. I was no longer pissed off, I felt amazing. . . . This felt like the right place to share that story.
People.dont do what they really want ! They wait for others to do it first and. See if everything is ok! That is sad... We live in a world of limitations and prejudices!!
That's how society works, it's the nature of the beast sometimes!!!!!!!!!, all it takes is 1 person to do the opposite to what everyone else is doing and be different, then the second guy joins him either mockingly or supportingly, and it usually takes off from there, depending on the mood of the people of the time
I got laughed at in soton for wearing kickers in late 88, a year later everyone was wearing them. So I painted mine lilac, pink, silver and everyone's jaw dropped. Weirdly about a year after that kickers then introduced multi coloured ones.
@@slabbyrider8665 similar thing at my old high school, when I was in grade 10 the whole class and school wore nike shirts, nothing else, so I wore Adidas shirts to school to be different, a year later everyone was wearing different brands to school
Wow, so nice to stumble upon this again after what, a decade? Thanks TH-cam! This is a real gem! It can't get any more uplifting than this, really! Long live this video!
Dreymon Green Thank you. I was being serious guy #2 obviously set it off! He jumps in after 22 seconds but guy #3 doesn’t show up for almost a full minute. Obviously the crowd felt shirtless man was a bit much but guy #2 makes it all ok for guy #3 and then the world joins in. Concert dynamics 101
Dreymon Green Guy #1 is possibly high enough to make it happen sans oxygen but you’d still be right because a lone person does not constitute a party 😢
Guy #3 really helped too, clearly was just having fun and being self depricating rubbing his belly and twerking which let the sheep think "well at least i won't be the silliest looking dancer if i join and it looks fun".

I watched this live. Cannot tell how far it is zoomed in but I would have been not far behind the person recording. This guy was a hero in the campground.
@@dakinichick I am sure they were. But they decided to dance by thus guy. This video shows maybe 5 or 6 people not dancing. I was there, everyone was dancing already. Also, if memory serves correct (it's been a long time) this was like the afternoon of the 2nd day. People were still tired from the night before. The day shows aren't usually a raging dance party.
One dude dancing..."what a wierdo" Three dudes dancing.."haha" 10 people dancing.."I want to do it!" 30 people dancing.."I better do it so I don't look wierd sitting here!" Human psychology is fascinating
That’s a common pessimistic misconception. I reckon there was actually very few people believe he was a weirdo when he was dancing alone. In fact they probably urged to him on but didn’t want to be the first to join him. People aren’t as dark as everyone thinks.
@@barbarusbloodshed6347 dancing is not dumb. It's literally a universal experience that every single culture in the history of homo sapiens has engrained in their culture.
This fucking legend of a video is a good metaphor for life. Always be who you are through and through and never be afraid to show others your true self, those who resonate will gravitate to you and you to them. Love yourself, love others, and love life❤️
@@pat3770 yeah, it went from weird to cringey when the second and then the third guy joined in. But the crowd came to rescue and eventually everyone were like "yeah let's dance"
I did the same in france two years ago. There was an amazing queen cover band and it was such a pain to see how everybody was just sitting down and doing nothing but watch. At one point I couldn't hold myself back anymore, just jumped into the big empty space in front of the stage and just started dancing. More and more people joined me and when I had a little chat with the band members after the concert we even thanked each other. That was beautiful.
Indeed. There is nothing more important right now than to get all bundled up together and wave our arms around in reckless jubilation. COVID-19 approves.
@@ZorgoXorgon They just want a leader. That's how pathetic we are. We don't have the balls to go dancing and look awkward. Then this happens. Moral of the story: do whatever you please, do not care if others look at you.
@@norpriest521 Some people are natural leaders others gravitate towards them. I don't find that pathetic whatsoever. Most people don't like to stand out. There's nothing wrong with that.
Definitely one of those things that if someone had it written up and posted it on the internet, there would be that one guy that would comment "r/thathappened"
I didn't think about that at first, but your right. I miss this type of activity. It beats the crap out of what's going on now. The Covid, people killing each other. We need to go back to the lighter and nicer times. Thank you for bringing this to light.
This is how I live life every day! When we were kids, we just met other kids and had fun. No objectives, just having fun. And that's how I still interact. Now some women I have dated hated it, cause I would make friends every place I went. But I think we have to stop hindering that inner happiness 😊
This just shows you how much people WANT to be themselves, but need validation first. As soon as another person joins in, it's now socially acceptable.
@Zac Ariah It's entirely true. People are, in general, much too worried about their own image to do what they want. Once it's suddenly acceptable the herds show up.
I call it 'mass-effect' the more people do it, the more likely others will join. It works in a debate. When you're the only one standing up for an idea,alone, you're likely to just leave for the other side
@@Setixir It's probably a survival skill to be honest, think about all the people imprisoned or jailed for their beliefs or out of the norm behavior before the recent modern era of the 1800's-2000's
My professor actually showed us this video in business school! Arguing that the first guy to join him, might be the most important, as he normalizes the behavior of the dancing, therefore creating a whole “organization” around it - as more people join, this becomes the new normal, suddenly making people feel that they’re missing out if they don’t join them - so interesting
I actually am more in Awe over the Chubby 3rd guy. I Loved his energy! And actually feel he was the one people Saw and said "Hey if chubby dude can dance like that and enjoy himself, so Can i!!"
Absolutly. He was the real starter of the JOINING of the peoples. The first guy must have had the best day of his life. Started off with no friends and no one to dance with but he said i dont give a fu**. He went home, after the extacy wore off and told his co workers that he danced alone but ended up with hundreds of people dancing the same dance he made up. His co workers would think he was exaggerating lol. Love this video!! May this be a sign of things to come. "You can dance if you want to.. you can leave your world behind, cuz if you dont dance and if you cant dance well youre- no friend of mine"

Note how all the early dancers are men. It is actually confirmed that men are more nonconformist than women (see Wikipedia article on conformity).
Secretly, they all wanted to dance, just needed the guy with the biggest balls to start it
Facts! I wish I could be that first guy!
I wouldn't call that dancing. I'd call it feeling the music.

@@dakinichick I am sure they were. But they decided to dance by thus guy. This video shows maybe 5 or 6 people not dancing. I was there, everyone was dancing already. Also, if memory serves correct (it's been a long time) this was like the afternoon of the 2nd day. People were still tired from the night before. The day shows aren't usually a raging dance party.
where was this
@@samu-chan The Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington aka the Gorge at George. Best outdoor venue in the world.
Within seconds it became weird and uncool to dance alone to all of a sudden weird and uncool to NOT dance. And all it takes is a few daring people.
@McFlickers the 3rd guy too!
and in the end it was cool again to stay on the grass when everyone else had joined the dance. great example of social behavior.
My professor showed this in a business class to talk about the power of conformity. Perfect example.
No just one confident man
By 1:20 it is no longer cool, it's just people copying a trend.
First Guy: The Man
Second Guy: The Myth
Third Guy: The Legend
Thank you for this comment
The holy trinity
4th guy: Nobody
@@kevinmuchiri5162 exactly
Everyone else: the bandwagon
14 years later,,,this shit is timeless!
This and tecnoviking are two videos that I watch over and over again…👍
He’s the main character and we’re all in his world
He's Naruto after saving konoha villagers
Nah he's a main quest lv.83 dancing Sprite that leads you to the rave quest.
@@omniuse6723 nah he's the main character just doing whatever he wants in front of npcs
Never gets old. Definitely shout out to the first guy but the second guy is just as crucial. Without him no one would've followed
What about the drug dealer ?
@@joheb6645 maybe he has a natural high
I’m more a third guy kind of guy my self
@@yoced1468 same, lmao.... the first and second guy have major ballage... we must get to that level
@@joheb6645Yes.He was the real unsung hero here!
That will forever be this dudes highlight! We all need a moment like this 🤪🤣🤣🤣
Still one of the most iconic videos of all time. I hope this man is still reveling in his rave ability.
Dance... and they will come.
Guy 2 is just as important. Otherwise it would’ve just been one dude.
Yeah. No chain no party
Ah, the "Sam" everyone needs :)
@@Heero070 Is this counter strike "sam"?
@@hitanshujain7013 oh, that could be but I am not famliar with that Sam, was talking about Sam "Best friend of Frodo" :)
@@Heero070 Oh lol i thought "sam" from CS because he had max support and skills😂
Plot twist: This guy is a weird introvert, when people joined in, he was the first to quit and sit down.
Relatable
Hey danced the longest probably needed a water break
When he lived?
@@alexr.4746 idk, hope he is alive and good
@@aguynamedsalad7287 aah, that was an assumption. Cuz I was rewatching video few times to catch when he living. Imma fucking idiot)♥
For some reason, I seem to get this TH-cam video recommendation every couple of years or so, and it never gets old. 😂
One dude dancing..."what a wierdo"
Three dudes dancing.."haha"
10 people dancing.."I want to do it!"
30 people dancing.."I better do it so I don't look wierd sitting here!"
Human psychology is fascinating
100%
That’s a common pessimistic misconception. I reckon there was actually very few people believe he was a weirdo when he was dancing alone. In fact they probably urged to him on but didn’t want to be the first to join him. People aren’t as dark as everyone thinks.
Agreed! Weirdo at first then the lemmings join in and now its a free spirited dance... lmao
Sheep mentality
@@stoo8441 They really aren't
Humans first: “Weird”
Humans after: *Fear Of Missing Out*
Yeah so f what everyone thinks be you
peer pressure in action... this is actually a good example how even the dumbest idea can get traction in human societies.
lets fomo in
@@barbarusbloodshed6347 dancing is not dumb. It's literally a universal experience that every single culture in the history of homo sapiens has engrained in their culture.
@@AlmostaFlipinSkater so is taking a shit. Dancing is dumb, deal with it 😎
Thanks TH-cam algorithm for bringing this back to me again years later...
Absolutely captured the essence of what it's about and why it was created 😊 ❤
I once tried this at a pool party. And I ended up dancing alone the whole night. I think people thought I was on drugs or something.
The party was full of lames then smh, I would’ve joined you
@@franciscovelazquez616 i second this
Same
Maybe you were the only fun person there.
They were scared to be fun
The first guy who joined is the friend we all need.
Not if you are in tune with yourself and moved by Spirit, then you will find the friends you need.
Agreed. Probably even help someone move😂
This fucking legend of a video is a good metaphor for life. Always be who you are through and through and never be afraid to show others your true self, those who resonate will gravitate to you and you to them. Love yourself, love others, and love life❤️
Ive danced first many many times and when done in joy, people always follow!
Whoever originally filmed this probably was thinking “god this guy’s weird”
While on the other hand he is the real weird one sitting down and filming another man, who is just enjoying himself and the music haha
... and didn`t know the dancing man had such power
@@simonshura9144 I dunno those dance moves were pretty weird 😂
@@pat3770 yeah, it went from weird to cringey when the second and then the third guy joined in. But the crowd came to rescue and eventually everyone were like "yeah let's dance"
@@simonshura9144 haha
This shows how everyone actually wanted to party while nobody had the guts to be the first one to start: unless this guy.
That first 3 guys had the balls to display that raw stoke, the rest were dumb compensating sheep 😂
I did the same in france two years ago.
There was an amazing queen cover band and it was such a pain to see how everybody was just sitting down and doing nothing but watch.
At one point I couldn't hold myself back anymore, just jumped into the big empty space in front of the stage and just started dancing.
More and more people joined me and when I had a little chat with the band members after the concert we even thanked each other. That was beautiful.
Anna Ya im a happy dancer and have often been the only one to dance :)
This shows how people follow the herd instinct
people normally sit on the hills and dance in front
One of my favorite videos to ever exist, peace and love
We all need a second guy in our lives, just as much as we need to be a second guy in someone else's life.
The hero that we don't deserve, but that we need now more than ever.
Indeed. There is nothing more important right now than to get all bundled up together and wave our arms around in reckless jubilation. COVID-19 approves.
Indeed
@@Ragnarock619 Worth.
I approve this message
Keeping distance tho
god damn all of those people wanted to dance and were holding it in
HILL ROCKIN' 1:06
First person in this video is why you shouldn't do acid. Last person in this video is why you should do acid.
Block Kingdom reminds me of that episode of Doug where everyone wanted to go swimming but they were afraid to be seen in their bathing suits.
Block Kingdom I
+robizzlor As Kate T. Williamson said, "You are a fool to dance and a fool to watch; if you are a fool either way at least you should've danced". :)
I smiled the entire time, what a beautiful video
So proud of my state :) and the gorge! Love you guys!!!
0:01 awkward dancing 2:00 awkward sitting
Funny how quickly social dynamics can change.
Yeah haha
@@ZorgoXorgon
They just want a leader.
That's how pathetic we are.
We don't have the balls to go dancing and look awkward.
Then this happens.
Moral of the story: do whatever you please, do not care if others look at you.
@@norpriest521 Some people are natural leaders others gravitate towards them. I don't find that pathetic whatsoever. Most people don't like to stand out. There's nothing wrong with that.
"Oh how the turntables..."
The real prize goes to the cameraman for catching this golden moment. This is one of those things no one would believe if you didn’t record it. 😂
Very very true! It was amazing!
True 😂😂
Definitely one of those things that if someone had it written up and posted it on the internet, there would be that one guy that would comment "r/thathappened"
I didn't think about that at first, but your right. I miss this type of activity. It beats the crap out of what's going on now. The Covid, people killing each other. We need to go back to the lighter and nicer times. Thank you for bringing this to light.
I love how you have a body part in your name. :)
This is how I live life every day! When we were kids, we just met other kids and had fun. No objectives, just having fun. And that's how I still interact. Now some women I have dated hated it, cause I would make friends every place I went. But I think we have to stop hindering that inner happiness 😊
My football coach recommended this to me, and it's just beautiful.
It all starts with one person not giving a f.
It all starts with the M pill.
Good and bad
On shrooms
It can also start with one person making a staged video
No. it starts with the second and the third one trusting the first to be right. then the whole lot dares to folow. Amazing video!
This just shows you how much people WANT to be themselves, but need validation first. As soon as another person joins in, it's now socially acceptable.
Its rather sad isn't it ?
@Zac Ariah It's entirely true. People are, in general, much too worried about their own image to do what they want. Once it's suddenly acceptable the herds show up.
I call it 'mass-effect' the more people do it, the more likely others will join.
It works in a debate. When you're the only one standing up for an idea,alone, you're likely to just leave for the other side
@@Setixir It's probably a survival skill to be honest, think about all the people imprisoned or jailed for their beliefs or out of the norm behavior before the recent modern era of the 1800's-2000's
This just got unnecessarily philosophically deep. How about, dude's just dancing to a song and folks wanted to join in and spread some positivity.
Always be these first people , you are the life of every party ❤
I went to favorite it and it was already in my Favorites and Songs playlists
My professor actually showed us this video in business school! Arguing that the first guy to join him, might be the most important, as he normalizes the behavior of the dancing, therefore creating a whole “organization” around it - as more people join, this becomes the new normal, suddenly making people feel that they’re missing out if they don’t join them - so interesting
We watched it in psychology classes I business school as well :)
Good observation! ☺️ Its a good thing to join or to start to get the stone rolling.... I will remember this 😅
I actually am more in Awe over the Chubby 3rd guy. I Loved his energy! And actually feel he was the one people Saw and said "Hey if chubby dude can dance like that and enjoy himself, so Can i!!"
FOMO'd now dump eet
Yeah we used this video as the same material in grade 12 philosophy, just stumbled on it again, always brings a smile
Isn’t it fabulous seeing ordinary people just enjoying life.
It is and I miss this a lot :(
why you talk like a movie villain
@@amir7336 Depends on how you read it.
This is a super spreader event, spreading super feelings of happiness and euphoria ✌️✌️✌️
Yes!!! When are we ever going to get that back😭
I loved every second of this video!
This place is beautiful!
'The second guy' is the most brave. Imagine we did 'the second guy' thing for a good act, for real...
That's exactly my thought. I think the second guy brought in the wave. It was kind of like approval. 🤣🤣
Yep, a leader,
And another who sees it and leads.
Absolutly. He was the real starter of the JOINING of the peoples. The first guy must have had the best day of his life. Started off with no friends and no one to dance with but he said i dont give a fu**. He went home, after the extacy wore off and told his co workers that he danced alone but ended up with hundreds of people dancing the same dance he made up. His co workers would think he was exaggerating lol. Love this video!! May this be a sign of things to come. "You can dance if you want to.. you can leave your world behind, cuz if you dont dance and if you cant dance well youre- no friend of mine"
@@meadow5511 made me think of Safety Dance too
Yes, to lead must follow reminds me of Jesus and the great full dead
me: nothing
youtube recommendation: guy starts dance party from 11 years ago
me: WHY NOT
Not to mention from 11 years ago lmao
lol.. comparing to our present situation i would love to join them 😂
But, I didn't mind tho
Me too. Wtf.
Same choise. From New Caledonia!
The crazy dance is just awesome. It’s proof that confidence changes the dynamic of almost any situation
Absolutely love this!! It made my heart smile
Ditto! 🎶❤🎶
Absolutely insane. Love it and also how lucky we are that someone filmed all this.
I love how anxious everyone was too be the first then one guy breaks it
The good ole days when we could be within 6 feet
