wow it even exceeds evolution of dance by 4 times
PSY is good peoples. Grats to him.
Just me or his sunglasses looks like a cheap photoshop in that pic? :v:
Lets go for a billion.
good for him, honestly i also think it's cool that we have a video that a rather sizable portion of the world's population has seen, i'd really like to see it break 1 billion
A perfect demonstration of the power of virality combined with the internet. If anyone is wondering why of all things, this is the one to become so immensely popular, its most likely the fact that its extremely novel and is appropriate for any age group. Its catchy, the video is funny, it has a quirky/unique dance associated with it and its extra novel since its sang in another language. Once it had enough exposure to reach mainstream media like news channels and radios, it was carried everywhere.
It's an alright song and I enjoy listening to it occasionally, but holy hell is it overplayed.
I think I hear it about 3 times everyday, but I still think it's better than most pop music nowadays. I'm glad it's this song that's the most played video of all time rather than "Baby" or something by -generic rapper yo mang drake lil in da hoz-
I like the song. I hate the shit people have done with it, like failed flash mobs or horrible school songs sung like gangnum style.
RIP charlie bit my finger.

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;38600897]And good riddance.[/QUOTE] You have no idea what it was like to go through grade school with the name Charlie. "Charlie bit my finger" EVERY. FUCKING. DAY.
[QUOTE=Bryceanater;38600824]RIP charlie bit my finger.[/QUOTE] I never saw why it had so many views, it was nothing special.

Gangnam style is one of those memes that isn't that bad.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38621168]Laugh all you want, but Facepunch is full of real hipsters, who liked everything before it was cool and hate it now because it's mainstream.[/QUOTE] Sometimes its okay to hate mainstream, Gangnum is a perfect example. It started off as this thing that you and some friends found, it was funny a few times. Then the next day at school some other kids were talking about it, thats pretty cool. Before you know it, your whole class knows it, its sort of cool, it hasnt got annoying yet. But then that faggy blond bowl cut hair kid who does the school announcements every morning with just as much pep has he had on the first day of morning announcements 3 years ago talks about it, sings a little quip from it. It sort of "meh" now, its pretty old by now, at least 3 weeks but people keep talking about it. Then the school talent show happens, some anime club does it for the show, its insanely cringy, and you notice all the parents are loving it, those 40 year old stay at home moms crying in joy. You come home from school, your Mom asks if you know what gangnum style is. Apparently she found out by Oprah earlier that day. Now the news has it and all the radio stations and before you know it, their is a flash mob attempting it at the apple store while you are trying to buy an iphone or something. By now its the most annoying shit in the world.
