[OC] My friend Austin doing a perfect reenactment of the dance from the movie “Napoleon Dynamite” to his business school classmates. ~50% of the audience had seen the movie, and the other ~50% (comprised of international students) had no idea what was going on.

Your friend Austin is a cool dude and a good dancer. I can’t imagine what those international students had going through their minds during this lol
Outstanding! Even his facial expressions were spot on.
I am equal parts entertained by and jealous of his dance skills.
All 50% of the non-international students had seen napoleon dynamite? Impressive.
Tell your friend an internet stranger thinks he is a bad ass, well done.
He did a great job, even the filled in parts from the movie where they don’t show Napoleon were seamless.
I like how he looks like an aged Napoleon.
I’m getting some Keith Apicary vibes from this guy.
God damn, he killed it! I’d like to grab a beer with Austin some time
Video is from 2014, still great tho!
If you want to hear something scary, the movie is almost twenty years old.
That was pretty great.
The audience is probably just jealous that he’s been chatting to hot babes online all day
Is Napoleon Dynamite worth watching? I’ve seen gifs from it since forever but never considered watching it for some reason.
Your man’s killed it.
“Is he doing the blood elf male?!” – Some portion of the 50% who don’t know Napoleon Dynamite
That was fantastic, his attention to detail, his entire attitude, honestly, that was like a remake of the film. Props to your boy there, it was great
The mouth breathing throughout the entire rendition was so perfect.
The best part is the dude looks exactly like Napoleon Dynamite… At 40.
I still love [this song,](https://youtu.be/vE4VlA_9OrI?t=11) and this movie.
Your friend killed it.
About 8 or 9 years ago there was a freshmen at the school where I taught that looked exactly like Jon Header (Napoleon Dynamite). Big strawberry blond afro, underbite with that lower lip sagging, tall and thin as a rail. I was actually pretty worried he’d get bullied by the other kids. The first rally of the year kicks off, and the kids are all milling around when the DJ plays a song, and this kid stands up and does this dance. Perfectly. The crowd goes nuts and he becomes “that guy” and had a pretty good high school career.
TIL learned Jod Heder changed his name to Austin.
Damn, moves! Pedro gets my Vote!
Wow. I feel old. Napolean was so long ago that he’s now bald.
that…was….amazing.
Ok ok ok… this is me (the guy in the video) – now that Dilanka posted it, I welcome the roasts.
The story is true. My girlfriend (at the time, now wife) & housemates thought I looked a lot like Napoleon Dynamite, encouraged me to learn the dance and perform it as a surprise at a school dance show. I was asked to repeat it in grad school. The reactions went in two directions:
American Students (generally fans): ~’That was hilarious/amazing!’
Foreign Students: ~’Hmm, that was a very interesting dance’
BTW – I appreciate the love. And No, it’s not how I normally dance 😉
Edit: the hardest parts of learning the dance was that, in the movie, the camera cuts to the crowd a few times, so I had to fill in Napoleon-esc moves. Also, if watched side-by-side, it’s mirrored because I watched it on a laptop and copied the direction he moved…hahaha …”*idiot!”*
First time I watched Napoleon Dynamite, I was so baked 🙂
WTF even is business school?
that was awesome
Why is he doing the Blood Elf dance?
This is what the world needed
He’s even got the boots
Good god Napoleon Dynamite was such a wholesome fucking movie
That was AWESOME!
I love technology. Not as much as your dance moves you see. But I still love technology.
The entire time, I’m thinking about the international students….what….the….FUCK!?!?
This is by far the best I’ve seen anyone reenact the dance. *stands up and applauds*. Well done mate.
Impossible not to grin ear to ear while watching this. That dance is still just the coolest fuckin thing I’ve ever seen.
%100 hilarious
Very good! Not perfect… 🤓
