Fishstick, a brand new dance craze sweeping the nation.

An instructional video by a fellow named Ian that shows you all you'll need to know for doing the "Fishstick", as mentioned in the "You Look Nice Today" podcast episode "Sacks-Minnelli Disease," which has in turn spawned a movement. Whoah, look, some other dude made a fishstick video, and he too is Canuckistani. (thanks, Jamie Scanlon!)

I think that guy really IS doing kegels, his chair is rocking slightly! Hahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!

I do not get the You Look Nice Today thing. Is the appeal that it is not interesting? Nothing about this makes any sense to me.

I don't think it is supposed to make any sense. But I agree he does look to be doing kegels.

For all those needing to know, yes, the Kegels are real. If they're not, you're doing it wrong.

Kegels are good for you.

YLNT is hilarious. That's the appeal: funniness.

By the way, you look nice today.

kegels for boys are actually called "begels."

If there's no kittens, puppies or T.I.E. fighters exploding, why bother?

At least it's not the salmon dance.

And here all along I thought "fishstick" was a German obscenity.

Can you also do the Fishstick to Todd Rundgren's "Loosen Up"? I need to know!!!

[#15 posted by daytripper , May 24, 2008 6:40 AM]

rather than fishstick this should be called
head-on-a-stick (from that horrible wolfcreek movie)

But does it make you Goodbye Depression?

Here are my own awkward first steps toward learning how to Fishstick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRd4BpKVDpI
And the best example so far is by Lonelysandwich himself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID-A4T5geWs
