Keith Apicary, YouTube’s Favorite Dancing Nerd, Dances to Flo Rida’s ‘Let It Roll’

Posted by Jasmine McGee ⋅ June 21, 2012 ⋅ 1 Comment

There is just something so intriguing about watching horrible dancing that’s meant to be hilarious. In itself, it’s actually a unique art form; the art of dancing horrible. It often looks so effortless, but it must require a lot of effort to move your body off beat and dance like an insane idiot.

Well for Keith Apicary, dancing like an insane idiot is the norm. Perhaps you’ve seen Keith Apicary, YouTube’s favorite dancing nerd, while browsing the web or reading other blogs. But if you’ve read my blog in the past, then you might recall a blog post I wrote about Nathan Barnatt. Click here to read that hilarious post about comedian and actor Nathan Barnatt and watch his hilarious videos as he takes on his character Keith Apicary and dances his ass off.

His dance moves are horrible, but his effort is surely not to be mistaken. He’s aiming for greatness; being the greatest horrible dancer in the world. Oh, and on top of his lack of dance moves, Keith Apicary is such a nerd with an outlandish hairstyle and ghastly glasses.

Yet, despite his appearance, he’s got heart and knows how to start the party. Which is probably why Flo Rida enlisted his help for his video “Let It Roll.”

Everyone’s favorite dancing nerd does it yet again and brings the funny in Flo Rida’s music video for his infectious pop-rap single “Let It Roll.” Normally I’m strictly against rappers jumping on the EDM bandwagon, but Flo Rida did a great job with Avicci’s “Levels” and “Wild Ones” isn’t half bad either. But I think the only reason I truly love this video is because of Keith Apicary and his silly dance moves. Dude, it must be hilarious to party with that guy!

P.S. Nathan Barnatt is currently in the works of getting his own Adult Swim Show. Sweet!

Awesomesauce | A Rap About Thinking…Yes, A Rap About Thoughts

Posted by Jasmine McGee ⋅ June 21, 2012 ⋅ Leave a Comment

I often ask myself “Do rappers ever actually think about their lyrics?” Seriously, some of the rap songs hitting the airwaves today are just filled with such mundane ignorance. It’s not even exciting ignorance (as if ignorance can be exciting.) After awhile everything just becomes this big clusterf**k of nonsense, which leaves my pondering is there any in depth thought process involved?

Well I’m not sure what compelled Rhett & Link to do a rap about thoughts, but maybe it has some underlying message about the reality of thoughts and what you can actually rap about. In their latest YouTube video,”Thoughtful Guy,” Rhett & Link rap about…well, their thoughts. It ends up sounding like this cool stoner vibe, but it’s actually a pretty good rap.

Peep the video below. Imagine if you sat down and just rapped about your thoughts. Would they be fuming with intellect and curiosity? Or would a rap about your thoughts (like some rap songs I hear) be riddled with jargon, deeming it a big clusterf**k of nonsense?
