Tyler Marcum will heretofore be known as the man who made a “sensible mashup” of himself dancing to “Landslide” in his underwear at age 20 and again at age 30. The moment I saw his “I’m Getting Older 2″ video, I knew two things: 1) that we needed to be friends and 2) that he was going to be an Internet sensation. The Internet sensation thing is already happening. His YouTube video got nearly 67,000 views in the span of one day. The friendship thing, well, I think our first conversation went well. We talked about lots of exciting things like unicorn masks, “winding it back,” and the importance of dancing in one’s underwear. Check it out after the jump. Keep reading »

A Sensible Mashup
Tyler Marcum's 30th birthday gift to himself

When  self-described “human unicorn” Tyler Marcum was 20, he filmed an interpretive dance to “Landslide” in his underwear. Cut to a decade later. Tyler is turning 30 and he decided to pay homage to his last decade of life by filming himself doing the dance again. Being auteur that he is,  he had the good instinct to create a “sensible mashup” of his dancing selves entitled “I’m Getting Older 2.”

There’s nothing sensible about it. But that’s why I think it’s a new Internet classic. His dance stylings are so fine (I particularly like his belly wave and butt shimmy) that I’ll give him a pass for thinking that the Dixie Chicks were the original artists of “Landslide.” Happy Birthday, Tyler. You’re only getting better with age.  I’ll be looking forward to “I’m Getting Older 3″ when you turn 40. [YouTube]

“Bitchy Resting Face” Sufferers Unite!

"You're not alone."

Do you suffer from “bitchy resting face”? Are you constantly being asked by loved ones and strangers “what’s wrong?” Do people misinterpret practically everything you say as some kind of snotty reproach? If that’s the case, you’re not alone. There’s lots (dozens) of us suffering from “bitchy resting face,” plagued by the fear that people think you’re just being super snotty all the time. And if you’re worried that women are unfairly saddled with “bitchy resting face,” just remember that men have “asshole face” to contend with, too. [Taylor Orci] Keep reading »

Hold me closer, treadmill dancer!

Dear Treadmill Dancer,

Do you know how hard it is to find a man who loves to dance? Who is also in excellent aerobic condition? And who seems to have absolutely no inhibitions? You are truly the whole package. Maybe someday we can choreograph a couple’s dance on a pair of side-by-side treadmills. I’ve gotta start practicing. See you at the gym!

Seeing-Eye People Will Help You Text And Walk Safely

No need to look up!

For Improv Everywhere’s latest stunt, they decided to experiment with the idea of “seeing eye people”: neon-vest-wearing guides to help distracted texters safely navigate the streets of NYC without ever looking up from their phones. They sent a bunch of seeing eye person/distracted texter teams to walk around the city, and filmed the reactions of passersby. It’s pretty funny, but also a little scary–could this be a glimpse into our social media obsessed future? [YouTube via Laughing Squid]

"There's nothing wrong with being a slut."

From the mouths of old people. Seniors say the darndest things. Seriously. There are so many needlepoint worthy quotes from this video of old people talking about gay sex. It has singlehandedly soothed my fears about aging. From here on out, I’m going to surround myself with senior citizens who remind me that “there’s nothing wrong with being a slut.” And the next time someone asks me how I identify, I will answer “OLD.” [Buzzfeed]

Eminem, TLC, and Jar Jar Binks, oh my!

It’s been a really long time since I’ve thought about the song “If You Steal My Sunshine,” the movie “Bicentennial Man” (shudder), or the Y2K scare, but this video forced me to confront all those 1999 memories–and many more–in exactly 10 minutes. Before you hit play, be warned that side effects may include involuntarily singing along to Limp Bizkit, confusing feelings about Enrique Iglesias’ leather pants, extreme heartache for TLC, and nostalgia-induced vomiting. Godspeed. [YouTube]

Romance At It's Finest
"It's one of those copter things..."

Another day, another couple finding a weird way to make their engagement our business. Today’s viral marriage proposal involves an aerial drone. (You know, like an aircraft without a human pilot. Kind of like a remote control car robot thingy with wings. You may have heard about them recently because the U.S. is currently using them to drop missiles. Anyway, depressing, sorry. Back to the proposal.) So, this guy Jason brought his pregnant girlfriend Christina to a park and landed an aerial drone with her engagement ring. I know, swooning to death, but that’s not even my problem with it. I’m not a huge fan of romantic fanfare. If you call motorized planes romantic. Whatever. I’m happy for them.

My issue being: the production value is just a little too slick. I mean, there are multiple camera angles and credits at the end and Jason figured out how to make his proposal go viral. Isn’t it enough just to propose to the person you want to marry without making it a gimmick fit for internet consumption? Or maybe I’m a hater and aerial drone proposals are the next big thing.

"Worry about yourself!"

When Ryan Hunley asked his daughter August if she needed help unbuckling her car seat, she got annoyed and responded with a comeback I’m going to use from now on whenever anyone gets all up in my business: “Worry about yourself!” This video made me laugh when I really needed it. I hope it does the same for you. [YouTube via Laughing Squid]

You are the dancing queen!

The name William W. Purkey might not mean anything to you, but he’s the guy who coined the phrase “dance like nobody’s watching.” That’s pretty solid advice, we think. Take this unidentified woman grooving along to her headphones at a bus stop in the British town of Eastleigh. Who among us hasn’t secretly danced at one time or another? She’s a shining example of Purkey’s saying, and to her we say “bop on.” [YouTube]
