  • Simmonssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ss

  • @bigzzz29 Okay, I give. What does this even *mean*????

  • @boochibabe Bill Simmons is a write on ESPN.com and there was a link to this clip in his recent article.

  • @RobJC99 Ah, gotcha! Well, thank you, Mr. Simmons!  : )

  • Mark DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • Do the D.A.N.C.E (of joy)

    Stick to the B.E.A.T (of joy)

    Just easy as A.B.C (of joy)

    Do the Dance (Do the Dance)

  • I loved this show when I was little, but I didn't get that it was called "Perfect Strangers." My parents just knew I loved Balki, so they would say "wanna watch Balki?!" or "Balki's on!" leading me to believe the show was simply "Balki." I was too little to get that he was supposed to "foreign" either, I just thought he was silly!

  • I used to wear sweater vests and call myself Balki when I was 7 or 8. Good times. :)

  • @pecky143: Because its easier to destroy than to create. If only 5% of what is available influences to evil, then it will dominate over the 95% that influences to good. If something like 55% of the content brought into people's minds is whole some and good, then the 45% will overwhelm it. It's not conspiracy theories or anything of the sort, and those numbers can't be used to say 95% of people are good and 5% bad (which is more unwholesome thinking). The small evil you do undos the good.

  • How can anyone dislike the dance of joy? What are you? Mypiot mother muggers???

  • Ah nostalgia. :-) One of my best friends and I used to do this all the time back then! We loved this show that much, lol!!  Great times. Great memories.

  • DANCE OF JOY. HELL YES

  • i used to do the same dance routine with my brother:))))

    

  • And I was expecting Numfar of the Deathwok clan.

  • I used to do the dance of joy with a friend back in 1989

  • oh what memories, I grew up with this show! and they don't make them like they use to, sadly :(

  • Who wants to learn this with me?!

  • You and me. Hey Doctor Emmett Brown. When are you done putting the finishing touches on the Delorean?

  • @afghi420 True that ;)

  • @Negropolis Lol oh The Langoliers...

  • What are they so happy for? They're just over cooked meatballs!

  • I find it a little unnerving that the first part of "The Dance of Joy" is them singing the word "Die" about 11 times straight.

  • that must've been difficult to work with.

  • If they bring back the comedy they had back in the 1980's for today's sitcoms, I be so happy I'll do the dance of joy.

  • @eugene680 Just don't jump into my arms!! lol

  • ROTFLOL! Nostalgia combined with feelings of holiday, couches and jars of crisps

  • @SonicStantz "babes in Babylon." they win a trip to Las Vegas and Larry gets gambling fever. Season 2 I believe.

  • me and my sister (23 and 21 years old) actually dance the DANCE OF JOY!!! but just in the swimming pool, that jumping in the arms thing at the end can be dangerous you know XDDD

  • @JeanneLaHaine oh yeah our dance of joy!!!!!! lol

  • @JeanneLaHaine BAH!! thats why ya leave such things to TRAINED PROFESIONALS!

  • The Dance of Joy scared the little girl.

  • @Marketh00 scaring the LITTLE GIRL?! Lady!

  • I was actually saying to myself dai-dai dai-dai d'dai d'dai-dai-dai... trying to remember what it was from. LMAO!

  • @afghi420 well at least I'm not like those kids of today. And I'm just 17 XD

  • @Matthawk12 IF YOU ARE 17 ...........you are in the middle of what started "ONE OF THOSE KIDS TODAY"

  • poor mans Latka Gravas.

  • @afghi420 You're def' onto something. I work for a not-for-profit that works with kids from 10 - 6. We had set up a toy farmer's market with stuffed vegetables and play money. One of the 9 year old girls held up the fake money and said, "I'm Snookie from The Jersey Shore lets go to the bar!"... true story... O.O

  • This is show is innocent. In this show, there was NO gangsta-type talk, fashion, violence, and behavior. None of that baggy pants half-way-down-his-ass type of thing. It is simply about a very nice, foreign guy (Balki) who traveled all the way from Mypos to start a new life in the U.S.A. (namely Chicago, IL). There he meets his long-lost American cousin (Larry) and moves into his cousin's apartment.

  • I miss this show so much!!!! That brought back so many memories. Thanks for posting that!

  • MY WIDE ANGLE LENS IS ABOUT TO BURST

  • @Mechanicaldrugs98 BAHAHAHAHAHA HILARIOUS!!!

  • @afghi420 I agree. None of the Saturday Morning Cartoons are good anymore. Nothing impressive about today's cartoons. As a matter of fact, they're just repeats that goes back to 1999 and they never made anything new or groundbreaking. The 80s and 90s cartoons are way better. As for live action TV, all we ever see are reality shows that would do nothing but make me sick. I wish to go back in the 80s or 90s for high-quality TV.

  • HAPPY 52ND BIRTHDAY, BRONSON PINCHOT, AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!

  • 22 people can't do the dance of joy.

  • The Dance of Joy! I used to watch this show every morning before school. Good times.

  • LOl! I remember watching this show when I was a kid.

  • What episode is this from?

  • This continues to be something that makes me smile every time I think of it. Love that show!

  • So cute...dance boys dance...

  • i absolutely enjoyed this show.

  • doing the dance of JOOOY?! LADY!

  • Balkie Bartockimuse was the greatest character ever on TV. Pure joy!!!

  • TGIF!!!! i miss those days, the good old days. before taxes and bills and we had no idea what rent or mortgage was. I would never want to be a teenager again or live through high school again, but I would LOVE to be able to watch these types of shows again. a million times better then the crap thats on now!

  • Tha hay days of television. Oh, how I miss them.

  • I tried the dance of joy by myself, i busted my ass a few times...

  • Dance was funny but the looks on their faces in the end was a bit weird

  • my uncles do the dance of joy when they were teenagers when they would win a baseball game and they still do it and they are in there 30's now :) WIERD

  • @gardenfly1994 thats awesome

    

  • @TheReddisKid not really it kinda creepy cuz there in there 30's now and it a little wierd but funny at the same time

  • @afghi420 I wouldnt let my kid a thousand yards near a TV with flavor flav on it.

  • @contact1araya It's not just Flavor Flav though, all these shows where they live in a house together, they usually have a fully stocked bar so they people can stay drunk most the time. It's just trash TV, same thing with the media today, all lie's and nonsense. Lady gaga is voted one of the most influencial people of the year?! I guess it is just all part of keeping the majority of Americans sidetracked and not thinking about real issues. Any important issues blows over in a week.

  • It's the 25th anniversary of the show today! Happy Birthday guys!!!!!

  • haahahah remember that!!!!!

  • The last look between those two was pretty weird.

  • @CarlitosDK

    I knew that in this crazy day and age, someone was gonna point out an awkward thing...

    I feel sad for kids today.

  • Scaring the Little Girl?!?!

  • @Negropolis do you know the name of the song he plays when doing God? ... is the same he uses with BOMMER WILL LIVE.... and the same he uses when optimous prime says I DIED FOR YAR SINS

  • @Negropolis I always knew that guy as Jean Luc from step by step. I completely forgot about this show. LOL Ohh Nostalgia Critic forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MY WIDE ANGLED LENS IS ABOUT TO BURST!!!

  • @LangostaProductions NC reference for the win!

  • @LangostaProductions Toomey was insane long before he stepped on that plane.

  • @chakotay24

    That just means that his WIDE ANGLED LENS was at risk of bursting long before he stepped on the plane then. So yeah nothing has changed.

  • 21 people couldn't do the dance of joy

  • Comment removed

  • @afghi420 I agree on the Sitcom/reality tv thing you stated, but arn't most cartoons warped anyway, ex: He-Man, a sword transforms an already buff man into a buff man with less clothes, and he fights an evil skeleton that uses magic but somehow has muscles... and theres adventure time, an awesome show that has a 12 year old in a post apocalyptic future (by word of god/creator) that fights evil, such as an Ice King that looks fat with a coat on but is skinny..todays cartoons are more warped!!!

  • @Guypersonmanthing3 Yeah. I know what you mean. I totally agree that stuff like this is leagues better than something like.......Witches of Waiverly Place or Hanna Montana...or any of the stuff that is classified as "sitcom" today. I mean there were some shows that weren't that great, but things like Perfect Strangers and Who's the Boss?, Golden Girls...Shows like those had good writing and moral lessons that were actually relevant.

  • @Guypersonmanthing3 Shows now a days (especially in the past....5-10 years or so) are just so stupid. I would love it if there was a revival of this genre.

  • @ToraYashaChan Trust me, with the double meanings and innuendos, not all shows these days are stupid (Regular Show, Adventure Time) besides shows from any era are either smart, good, stupid, warped, etc. Look at Sym-Bionic Titan, or Young Justice, if you want a live action show example, lost, for sitcoms Malcom in the Middle, smart, funny, well done shows, plus what do you mean by genre, comedy, sitcom, what?

  • hahahahahah xD DANCE OF JOY! oh god I love the old TV shows.

  • The dance of joy never fails to bring a smile to my face. I miss this show.

  • Appropriate for a Friday, ne? Also, does NO ONE remember this? Cause no one ever gets it when I go ..."and now we are so happy...we do the dance of joy..." And i personally still find it rather amusing.

  • @niceliades I feel the same way man. I eventually stopped referencing it because nobody remembers it. It's a shame really.

  • The way they we're looking at each other in the end you know that this is the version they had to compromise on, the best of this scene probably ended up on the editing room floor because of the networks.

  • " I got a package here for a Bal- Kye Barr-Tokoh-Mouse"

    "I am Bal-Kye"

  • jaja QUÉ GRANDES!

  • 21 people were being "ridiculowse"

  • @afghi420 amen . i agree

  • One of the greatest moments in television history.

  • Freeza, allow me to honor you by performing the dance of joy!!!!

  • They should make the dance of joy our national dance . who's with me?

  • @freeasabird12907 But I don't know if I want to be the one who jumps in someone's arms, or be the one jumped on. :P

  • DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!

  • of course not cousin larry, don't be ridiculous!!!LOL!

  • Funny!!!!!!!!

  • Yesterday, my old high school beat our arch-rivals in the Thanksgiving game, which we almost never do. I was so happy, I grabbed my 3-year-old niece and we did the Dance of Joy! Not that she knew what it was, but she's a good improviser.

  • When I was in walmart the other day and found exactly what I was looking for at a great price...I yelled...Now we are so happy we do the dance of joy...and grabbed the first person who was available who just happened to be a lady on oxygen....

  • @doobeedoo58 Wahahahahahahahahahah!!! You got me laughing with tears!!! I used to love this show!|

  • How can you dislike this? Who are these 21 people?

  • Wow I love this show, I bought a few seasons having never seen it before and I love it. Balki is the best!

  • Boy , I wish this kinda television.

  • Back then , I did the Dance of Joy every Friday Nite.

  • My brother and I did this all the time when we were young. Great memories!

  • Greatest dance ever!!!!

  • How can 21 people not be enlightened by the dance of joy?

  • @BADBIKERBENNY  They must have babbasticki for brains!

  • Dai, Dai, Dai, Dai, DaiDai, DaiDaiDaiDai Heh he He he HE HE HE!

  • Back then the TV shows were all talent. They want people who can do it all. Now they want model type "actors ".

  • @eugene680 now, now, there are still some good shows, like House, but sitcoms have gone to shit

  • Nick at Night used to air all of these classic programs throughout the 90's into the early part of this decade. Maybe we'll see more once the war is over (if you want it.)
