Ice-T on The Harlem Shake: "Flash Mob of Stupidity" [Watch Videos]
Law & Order: SVU actor Ice-T discussed The Harlem Shake internet craze while he was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on March 26. The takeaway, he doesn't like it.
During a segment called "sound off," Fallon asked Ice-T to say how he felt about the internet sensation.
The Harlem Shake, a song by Baauer, led to an array of YouTube videos featuring groups of people dancing and, particularly, "air humping."
"I see a bunch of white people jumping around doing something called the Harlem shake and it doesn't even look like the Harlem shake," he said. "Did they even go to look at what the real dance looks like?"
The video typically start with just one person dancing, then when the beat on the song drops, the video cuts to a shot of a large crowd of people joining in.
"It's like a flash mob of stupidity," Ice-T added.
At the start of the show, Fallon said that the Basktreet Boys recently uploaded their own version of the viral sensation. Other videos done by celebrities include the Miami Heat with LeBron James and even Oprah Winfrey with her OWN staff.
The Huffington Post explained that Fallon had created his own version of The Harlem Shake with his crew, and didn't discuss it with Ice-T.
