Top 10 "Harlem Shake" Videos From Phoenix (Plus One New Times Made)

Categories: Lists, Video

Phoenix Suns Edition

We're a little biased toward rooting for our basketball team, but seeing the Suns Gorilla go crazy in the team shop is pretty entertaining. The room fills up quite a bit, including some folks in retro Suns uniforms, crazy fan girls and a guy spinning on the floor drinking a big baby bottle. And of course, no Suns video is complete without a jab against the Lakers (look at the sign in the back).


Phoenix Zoo Version

This video automatically made the list because there are three very real giraffes in the background at the start of the video. They mysteriously disappear after the jump cut, as the dancing tiger is joined by his animal buddies and a kart-driving panda. Bonus points for the kids who tried to dance with the bear and the wolf.

I don't think it's because I'm getting old, but I just DON'T understand shit anymore... This makes exactly as much sense as that planking bullshit, how does this crap catch on? How do people figure out what the "rules" are when the whole thing makes no goddam sense in the first place?


Lastly, why the hell are video cameras so cheap nowadays?

@Mikey1969 It's popular because it's simple, stupid, funny to simpletons and very easy to re-create. The rules were set in place by the original video.
