| Just one of many bizarre scenes from the viral Little Big video and dance craze "Skibidi" |
There's a viral video out there by a Russian rave band called Little Big. (They actually have several viral videos, but this one is the latest, and biggest hit yet.)
The bizarre video that I can't stop watching is at the bottom of this post. The Skibidi mostly involves walking with legs out, doing high steps, while punching your fists crossways in front of your chest.
There's a few intermittent hip thrusts, wobbles and hand motions as well, but you get the idea.
The lead protagonist in this video is a very stern, determined, rather creepy blonde man with a mustache. He's a bit like a scarier version of Borat. In the video, he hooks up with another member of the band, who vaguely resembles a highly maniacal version of Debra Messing.
There's also a potential street fight, which devolves into a Skibidi battle The song itself is all electronic, with random dog barks and other sound effects. Other creatures get into the song, including a dog, city highrises and a Godzilla-like monster.
In other words, this video is so stupid, so tacky, so tasteless, so absurd, so weird that it's absolutely fantastic and mesmerizing.
Other Little Big videos are hits, too, like Faradenza, in which our blond mustached guy seems to attract the babushka type women. Another tune, called LollyBomb, appears to show North Korean leader Kim Jung-un having a torrid love affair with a nuclear bomb.
They're worth watching, for laughs and giggles.
But really, you have to watch Skibidi. And learn the dance, too. And always do the dance while walking down the street. Just because. Everybody else has. People are being challenged worldwide to do the Skibidi. On Twitter #skibidichallenge is trending.
The Skibidi video had more than 42 million clicks as of Sunday. You can watch it too, if you haven't already:
