Dude, over a bunch of days, goes out for his smoke break. He turns into a dancin’ fool, [dancing](http://www.collegeslackers.com/video/michael_jackson_bus_stop)like Michael Jackson.

Fun, but it’s filmed in a few different segments; note the different clothing.

_Slaps self on forehead_.

Boy do I feel like an idiot. My apologies to the OP. I clearly read your entire sentence except for those five words.

That is awesome, I think it’s even better because it’s shot over several days, with different outfits and hairstyles.

Guy is enjoying life. We need more people in the world like that.

No kidding - he’s waiting for the bus or whatever, and he’s having a great time dancing while he does so - I wish I enjoyed my waits on things that much.

No apology needed. It’s all good.

And yeah. Dude’s just having fun. Nothing wrong with that.

Wow…ok, I assumed from the start the guy was English. I don’t know WHY, either; cars are clearly on the right side of the road, as opposed to left side.  
I think he just puts me in mind of the lucky loser in “Love, Actually”. 😛

I’m guessing someone in an office across the street found it hilarious so just filmed him occasionally. Guy looks sort of like Michael Anthony Hall circa Farmer Ted. And some of his moves were more Vanilla Ice than MJ. Still, agree that we need more people out there just enjoying the moment. Do wish he’d pick up his butts, though.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he did after he was done dancing.

If he is really going for authentic MJ he should be drinking Pepsi, not Coke. Fun video though.

I was thinking he looks like Anthony Michael Hall from The Breakfast Club too. This kid is stuck in the 80s. And it, well, it makes me wanna dance…  
OOOOCHA OOOOO!

That’s hilarious! Laughed so hard I started to tear up a little. The more you watch it, the funnier it gets, for some reason.
