Go to YouTube and put in "Best Buy Dance." Apparently, this sort of thing is amusingly common.

Fantastic! How I pine for sound.

The best part is Geek glancing around before joining in and WORKIN IT.

Um, just out of curiosity, how exactly did this little bit of goodness get from the cctv archives of BestBuy out to the interwebs?

My follow-up question is: is a store allowed to use/distribute your image for merely being in the store?

Thank you, I'll take my answer off the air.

Some white people can dance. Video evidence to the contrary notwithstanding...

What a bunch of haters. That guy's awesome.

That guy's a Car Audio install tech, not Geek Squad. He's not wearing the most honorable agent attire.

Technically, he's a Geek Squad Installer. (Thus the GS logo on his uniform)

Because they thought it would be a great viral marketing tool?

It might also have been staged.

Disclosure: I'm not paranoid - just a marketer.

I love dorking out and dancing in stores and stuff. So does my finance.

In grocery stores, when she's throwing stuff to me to drop in the cart, I'll just let an item sail by and yell, "STOP THROWING THINGS CRAZY LADY! I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!"

Awwww... As my wife said, the guy is just having fun.

Tenn, I thought the best bit was how long the goon was actually considering it (looking over his shoulder, checking who was watching) before seizing his moment and leaping in for some moob-shake.

Shoulda held off a bit longer..

Nah, unless that's what the Home Theater techs are called now.

Most of the install guys wear BBY T-shirts. The only uniform similar to that is Geek Squad Ops, which is a black polo shirt.

Or it could be a promotion day, there's something written on the back of the shirt. The nametag he's wearing is definitely not Geek Squad (since it's not a big pewter badge or and ID card on a zipline).

#16 - If the guy is a goon, all 4 of them are goons.

THINK I SMELL A FAKE. How much did Best Buy and the Satelitte radio company have to pay to have Crispin Porter or W&K do this?

I agree with the "That guy is awesome" comment.

He was much better than those lame women, anyway. They looked like they were acting like dancers - he looked like he WANTED to dance.

Take a look at this

I gave a black girl a lap-dance for her birthday once, and I'm sure it looked eerily like that. I was her waiter.

Your Finance?

Sweet Dancing bliss. You can't fault anyone for dancing, no matter how they dance. It's when you don't shake it out when they feel like it that's a shame.

we should all be very happy. None of these people were instantly cut down by Security gunfire as "potential threats due to Non-required Behavior.
Yet.

my fiance Merci thinks this is fake. like martypants said up above. this is a good advertisement, the camera angle is held right, it's released surveillance camera footage, etc. :-)

Yes, many people everywhere have found themselves unable to resist the powerful and compelling force known only as "tha JAM".
