OK, I'm sure you've all seen the viral "Gangnam Style" video on You-Tube. Here's the Klingon version.

I still don't get what's so funny or particularly entertaining about the Gangnam Style video. I mean the song is catchy and the video is fun and all, but nothing that jumps out as hilarious.

That said, the Klingon version had be in stitches!

Agreed!

They must have got the local Star Trek club in on it. They had a mixture of uniforms; TOS, TNG and movie (TWOK).

It took me a while to place Data's dance, but I finally remembered where I'd seen it before: at 3:39 in. It's probably from somewhere else originally.

Did you notice the scene where the klingon was drowning the tribble?

A video doesn't have to be funny to go viral. I think it's mostly just the catchy music that did it. The production value is also amazing. I don't watch many music videos but that one is just plain amazing. It's all in the editing, the pacing, and a few visual gags.

Look up pretty much any music video by Spike Jonze and you'll see some amazing production value. My favorites are "It's Oh So Quiet" by Bjork, "Weapon of Choice" by Fat Boy Slim ("Praise You" also by Fat Boy Slim is pretty interesting).

Also, Michel Gondry is an AMAZING director of music videos... Check out "Come Into My World" by Kylie Minogue, "Hardest Button to Button" by the White Stripes (or "Fell In Love With A Girl" also by the White Stripes).

The videos I just listed are some of the best done music videos I have ever seen, and had YouTube been as popular back when those were all released they would likely have gone viral. They aren't funny, they are just plain entertaining (and in the case of Michel Gondry's work the timing, and the level of details because of his use of stop motion techniques and and multiples layers of video in the editing room were videos that I studied over and over and over when I was editing video myself... trying to learn from his style).

Had to give you a funny because of Data's smile.
He did always have trouble with the nuances of emotions and facial expressions.

He's been doing a very good "demonic" on Warehouse 13, though...

"It's Oh So Quiet"

This one at least is on youtube. I haven't checked the others, yet, but they are probably there as well.

That's not where I remembered it from; the link was where I remembered it from. But the dance in "Klingon Style" was probably from the link that you provided. It was nice to see that one again. Thank you.
