If this was an audition tape for So You Think You Can Dance, I doubt they’ll be going to Vegas. Because the judges haven’t been kind. It’s been called “lame.” And even… “creepy.”
If you haven’t already seen the Microsoft Store employees cutting the rug in Mission Viejo, then check it out:
The store’s shoppers seem a little perplexed with the PC guys. But their grooves are getting MAZEL TOV! from the viewers. It’s garnered nearly half a million clicks on Youtube in a couple of days.
Take that – all you emo Apple Store employees!
But “I gotta feeling” about the PC’s resemblance to an earlier group. You know, the one that tore up the Disney Channel a few years back:
(The Wiggles in their prime.)

VIRAL is right.
So is TAMALE TRAIN.
Lone Star Steakhouse could hire them for their dance routines.
If it does not work out for them here at Microsoft, Johnny Rockets likes dancers too!
that was lame!!! Where’s the grand finale??? 4 1/2 minutes of my life wasted – thanx ocregister.com
Looks like Joe’s Crab Shack without the disco balls…
Welcome Eugene
Thanks to everybody for weighing in!
Totally lame. I thought they were there to work. What a joke. Must have taken a long time to learn that routine.
Now Windows 7 will work with my anti-virus.
PURE STUPIDITY….15 SECONDS GREAT, BUT 4 FRIGGIN MINUTES? WHO’S I CHARGE? WHAT AN IDIOT!
No wonder Al Quaeda hates us! If they see this video no doubt we’ll be hit again.
I want my money back! Really, for all the PC’s that I have owned, I want my money back NOW! Stupid and just plain stupid. When I get the money back, I’m buying a Mac!
Idiots!
That sucks! Sooooo lame and definitely creepy!
Really….Really…..WOW! When I was in that store I saw no dancing thank goodness cause I would have run right outta there. MICROSOFT DANCE CLASS 101 coming to a store near you.
The girl shoplifting at the 2:15 mark is priceless… She shoves it right in her bag, and keeps on dancing!
OMG!
Looks like it’s just a catalog or something, not shoplifting…
A few seconds of dancing, sure… but almost 5 full minutes? Complete insanity.
Scary. At first I was thinking, well, hey, if it makes it fun for them to work there, boosts morale, kinda different for the customers…..but OMGosh
!!!!!! It went on waaaaayyyyyy toooooo long. NO ONE likes watching that dance. It’s not even fun for the person doing it after the first couple rounds, and it’s excrutiatingly boring for those made to watch even when they have a cocktail in their hand at a wedding, but waiting for customer service??!! I’d walk out, and down the way to good ole Mac, who would never do such a thing.
What does “Blocked by CFC” mean in front of my name here where you sign in to comment?
It means your comment was considered spam. I’m not sure why some comments get tagged that way.. I just approved both so you’re good to go.
