No, I’m right with you. I’m not sure why these became popular in the first place; at least Gangnam Style had the fact that it wasn’t an absolutely garbage song going for it.

Only the original ones are good in my opinion. Anet made it original least i think so. However i seen loads where they were all the exact same costumes and everything and hardly did much dancing.

Agreed! If I jumped about like that in the Papermill I work in, I’d either end up sacked or inside a paper mulcher!
It clear that some have way to many breaks or free time, I do hope their bosses see these vids and start handing out the real fun!

Smaller companies with a much different culture have begun in recent years to treat their employees more like humans and less like cogs in a machine.

In fact… in many newer/startup companies… and smaller companies… freedoms such as this are benefits that are advertised BY the company to attract talent.

At the papermill you are an entirely replaceable set of hands… at a creative or research based company its the employees market not the employers market.

Personally… if you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working? If you have the chance to work at a company that treats you like a live human, take it… many people are.

Exactly, people should come to work not for the money (not solely for the money at least), but knowing that they come to work to have fun with the people they work with.

So true. Just as i was about to send a resume to arenanet after asking questions during their one live cast, the position closed.

And its been over a week since i sent one to Riot, and no response. Some people just don’t understand how companies (especially retail) treat you like bags of meat.

. . . why it got popular on the internet . . .

Look, this is the same thing that allows Creepypasta, 4chan, SomethingAwful, Reddit, YouTube, Channel Awesome, and Spoony to exist within four clicks of each other. I gave up trying to figure out how things become popular on the Internet.

And I even like some of those things I mentioned above.
