If We Give You a Set of Instructions for YouTube, Want to See the Crazy Thing That Happens?

Mar. 1, 2013 3:10pm Liz Klimas

Step 1. Turn on your speakers volume or put in headphones. If you’re in a public place, don’t turn the volume up too high.

Step 2. Go to YouTube.com.

Step 3. Type in the search bar “Do the Harlem Shake.”

Step 4. Boogie

Now if you were not playing along (it’s Friday so have a little fun) we’ve put together this video to show you what happens if you didn’t want to go through the steps and see the surprise yourself:

If you’re utterly confused about what’s going on, YouTube has created its own version of the viral trend the “Harlem Shake.” The trend took the video sharing site by storm in February with groups from the U.S. Army to a university swim team to the Miami Heat making their own dance videos.

TheBlaze has more details about the viral nature of the Harlem Shake and its dance components in this previous post. We’ve also recently brought you the Harlem Shake on a plane that is now being investigated by the FAA.

This isn’t the first time Google, which owns YouTube, has put together a surprising twist in its products for users.

Here’s another fun one if you missed when it was going viral in 2011.

Step 1. Go to Google.com.

Step 2. Search “Do a barrel roll.”

I prefer to make fun of the idiots (sheepel) who do the Harlem shake. Don’t be the crowd, stand out from it.

I went to utube and saw the original and it wasn’t as nasty as the copy cats were so I don’t know what the problem is.I’m 58 years old and yep I watched it along with some of the copy cats which those were some disgusting moves but I didn’t see any of it in the original so lighten up people.Thanks blaze for the smile of the day.If we could get people to work the way and as fast as they dance could you imagine the productivity in this country LOL.

It’s just a ploy to give Google money, no thank you? I’m highly entertained just reading this stuff, I have my video plug ins disabled (so hackers can’t turn on my camera, muh ha ha ha ha). Wait, I don’t have a camera? Don’t you miss that girl on SNL, reminds you of a time, when you didn’t worry about politics, we laughed when she said “Neverrrrrrr Minddddddd”?

Hey BLAZE!!!

Do you know what the first words to that stupid song are???

“Con Los Teroristas!” translates to “With The Terrorists!”

Boogie to THAT, will you…

I had the misfortune to watch the compilation of the top 10. I thought that way I’d get a well-rounded idea of what’s going on. Blaze… Really… If you’re going to recommend your readers watch something, PLEASE let it be something that doesn’t make us sick to our stomachs! I feel like I need to wash my eyes out with soap.

I would love nothing more than to have a bunch of these brainless zombies go out on a frozen lake for a filming of the harlem shake…For that title, “hilarity ensues” would work just fine :)

No. Mute it.

That tune is disgusting and the accompanying video’s aren’t funny.

  I agree. Waste of time. For the Kim Kardashian crowd.

  It’s hard to be happy, when our country is dying before our eyes. Just today the Republican House caved and reauthorized the Democrat Party’s radical feminist, Violence Against Women Act. I mourn over the innocent lives (mostly men and children), that will now be destroyed at the hands of this VAWA, this EVIL, as shown in the following short, homemade, videos at Youtube:

For the gangnam style thing, i was almost… *allllmost* wondering if I was old or out of touch for not wanting to watch it or have anything to do with it. Then the Harlem Shake comes along and confirms that I was right to not want to have anything to do with these latest “viral trends”. Really, really, stupid.
