[amazonqueen]

[xandiandnothing97]

just drinking your cold beverage and BAM free entertainment :D

[graceydiva]

I like flash-mobs, but not this one they should've used people that could actually dance.

[vinnieroyale1]

The only thing worse than white people dancing are gay white people dancing and clapping thier hands! LMAO!

[vinnieroyale1]

LMAO! If i was eating at this restaraunt while this was going on, I would demand a refund and get the hell outta there! LMAO! Funniest, most boring flash mob I've ever seen...Bwahahahahaha!!

[choclabmax]

way too much gay in one place..

[maelakay]

Wost flash mob ever...

[thekkaro]

I have been watching flash mobs for like 2 hours.

[lefebvrer3289]

is this at baywalk in downtown sp?

[dcv1894]

Mob ??? I dont think so !

[Sophie27987]

What is this the rich gay guy flash mob? Hey, whatever, they keep it classy!

[goscott2]

@Sophie27987 - Hahahaha!! You read my mind. I was thinking the same thing!

[PainkillerCheesus]

@ThackinFlorida

It's usual, that everyone is doing the same thing. So in this case, everybody had to dance the same moves. Or it will look like that!

I was in more than 1 xD

I have experiences with Flashmobs. And that for sure!

So don't blame people, unless you don't know them.

[redskrs]

Flashmob?.... uh..... ...uhm... no comment.....

[ThackinFlorida]

@redskrs Go to Wikipedia and look up flash mob...

[TheSparklingDinosaur]

I bet some people who werent even part of the flash mob just thought whatever and joined the dancing.

[ThackinFlorida]

@TheSparklingDinosaur They did! The beautiful blonde woman got up and started dancing with us!

[jleo71]

@ThackinFlorida

If you ever want to put together a Flash Mob again please contact me. I have 32 years experience as a ballroom dance teacher as well as training in Jazz and Modern and am very interested in creative public entertainment.

[sloofuss]

Guess it was all about everybody dance,cause it certainly was not choreographed.LOL!

[detectivestella101]

i live in florida they need to have one in miami

[Vclancy1964]

I thought it was great. Wish I could have been there. I love the dog involvement.

[jhechevarria]

Hey where is Ellen Degeneres?

[ThackinFlorida]

@jhechevarria I wish she was there! LOL

[vmj28]

not the best that i have seen, but good try and what really matters is that you did it for a good cause and got free publicity for your event, good job putting this together.

[Sgod100]

This looks like so much fun but I have to say it's poor video quality.

[jayloveshammer]

@ThackinFlorida please do another flashbomb, my friends and i are in need of another good laugh

[ThackinFlorida]

@jayloveshammer Hey Jay, here's a thought: Why don't YOU do a flashmob? See if you can put one together, get over 100,000 hits on youtube, and raise $5,000 for charity while your doing it! You sound like a hateful and negative person, I pity you.

[Asummervlogging]

I would have been like "OHH PICK MMMEEE!"

=] I love Flash mobs and I hope to be in one sometime soon!

[ThackinFlorida]

@Asummervlogging Thank you!

[jayloveshammer]

what a hot mess, this should be call flashbomb. what a waste

[mmeischa1]

We should all dance more, sing more, love more....loved it :-)

[ThackinFlorida]

@mmeischa1 Thank you for you positive response Meischa! I totally agree with you!

[pastry1650]

more more more flash mobs everywhere, everyday. such joy and positive energy...great family fun...annette in newport, ri.

[ThackinFlorida]

@pastry1650 Thank you for your positive response!

[s10018]

Geograpy?

Nowhere?

No real dancing just clapping xD

:P

[lifevorce]

It was a facetious rendering of government entities attempting to control their agents. As in previous posts where the Philadelphia Police toldl crowds not to play around---as in 'participate in Flash Mobbing--because fights broke out--it looked like the System was trying to Take control. That's all I'm in support of the Action--

[lifevorce]

DCI to operatives---"Do NOT Participate in FlashMob dances or any other activity! This goes for you, too, FBI!!" [This was an illustration of actual events, as in Memooo......]

[ThackinFlorida]

@lifevorce Could you please explain your comment?

[virgilsheart]

fabulous...!!! one song - one dance for life. keep up the good work.

[ThackinFlorida]

@virgilsheart Thank you very much! I appreciate your positive comment!

[VerityinStereo]

LOVE IT!!!! :D Can you bring this party up to Jersey?  Its cold up here! :)

[ThackinFlorida]

@VerityinStereo Thank you very much for your comment! I really appreciate it!

[VerityinStereo]

@ThackinFlorida You're welcome!!! Check out our music video when you get a chance! :D

[xkcman]

i think dr. barnett used to be my doc yearrrs ago, sorry about his passing.

[ThackinFlorida]

@xkcman Thank you.

[Twillo24]

HAHAHA I love it! It takes some guts to do that!

[ThackinFlorida]

@Twillo24 Thank you very much for your reply, I appreciate it! Happy Holidays!

[poobao2k3]

Damn, why does the only Asian guy in this video have to be so gay?! (1:00) I'm putting my flip flips back on, picking up my shih-tzu and getting into my Jetta and getting the heck outta here.

[ThackinFlorida]

@poobao2k3 Because he IS gay! Please drive away in your Jetta, and take your negative hateful comments with you.

[mandupie]

Love it! I would have been there dancing as well! I love seeing everyones reaction to it, it's really great :D

[ThackinFlorida]

@mandupie Thank you!

[BritGirlJay]

I like these kinds of flash mobs - see how everyone smiles when they see it.

[ThackinFlorida]

@BritGirlJay Thank you!

[OnCloudNine62]

I would have been right there dancing with them!

[ThackinFlorida]

@OnCloudNine62 Thank you so much for your positive response!

[ThackinFlorida]

@OnCloudNine62 Thank you!

[OnCloudNine62]

@ThackinFlorida You're welcome my friend...after all it is CHIC! ; )

[tacumaki]

watching this really makes me happy, thanks for uploading :))

[ThackinFlorida]

@tacumaki Thank you very much!

[LoverMusic13]

VERY fun, wish I could experience something like this live! Maybe I will have to plan one. Thanks for sharing and posting! :)

[ThackinFlorida]

@LoverMusic13 Thank you SO much for your positive response, it made my day.

[Mikkelsyd]

Hmmmm......... walking around clapping is now called dancing ?!? ;-)

[ThackinFlorida]

As the creator of this video I feel the need to make this comment. When I created this, I posted it on Youtube to create some excitement for a charity dance I was doing here in St. Petersburg. I posted it so local people would see it, I never thought 90,000 people would view it. Most of the comments made have been positive, but the negative comments show how some people are so negative and discriminatory. Loosen up people! This is just some people having fun, and trying to make others laugh!

[kindanice101]

@ThackinFlorida ....well you succeeded...thanks! loved it!

[ThackinFlorida]

@kindanice101 Thank you very much!

[Zapppo]

this was so  GAY !

[commentsbyjss]

gay club

[EffervescentMe]

Very sad

[juanmora19910209]

Mostly Male Dance Party FTW!

[splatty56]

Fantastic, loved it

[ThackinFlorida]

@splatty56

Thank you very much for you positive response!

[MrLongSofty]

lol

[zyzyzy121212]

lol..this is very gay...but it looks harmless and fun.

[MsSem2010]

Зачет !!!

[thetailoredtot]

Love it, love it, love it! Dancing just makes me smile, whether I'm doing it or watching it! I'd have been right there with you! Congrats on the money rasied for your cause!

BTW, I'm constantly saddened, though not surprised, by generally negative people in this world! A quote comes to mind in this situation: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." ~Hanlon's Razor

Dance on! ;)

[OnCloudNine62]

@thetailoredtot Well said my friend!

[thetailoredtot]

@OnCloudNine62 Thanks! I'm glad you got what I was trying to say there.

[SenderDaniel]

Coooooool :-))) 

[ThackinFlorida]

MrGreenteabandit: I sent out 140 evites, out of the 140, I probably have 10 friends who are African-Amercian. I embrace diversity and love all of my friends, but I couldn't determine who would show up for my flash mob.

[MrGreenteabandit]

Why are they all almost WHITTTTTTTTTTE?

Other races never get a chance. :(

[plainguym]

Count me IN next time!!!

[366314ashley]

@archive972 does it really matter what i use?! there or they're it was just a mistake jeez....... -.-

[smoomin]

i dont care what anyone else says , this is awesome and look how happy they all , people could learn something from this

[Naneoc]

Cooooooooooooolllllll :DDDD!!

[TheRayFrom1989]

awesome... and very brave xDD

[tessamia1]

well...if i knew about this...i could be there dancing too.this is fun!

[IIIIXX]

I gotta do this b4 I die

[MrBigjim1888]

is this a gay thing?

[viveeann]

that's so awesomeeee! : D

every country should establish a 15 minute dance mob at a certain time everyday.

i believe dancing unites and makes everyone happy.

can you really be sad while dancing? xD

[meg92988]

i seen a girl @ 00:43

[366314ashley]

how come there all guys???

[ThackinFlorida]

Out of the 140 e-vites I sent out, about 20 people showed up. There are actually 3 women dancing in the video. My friend Elaine is dancing with me.

[Gulfporter]

@ThackinFlorida

Good research. So now we know that to get 200 people you need to invite 1400 or more. I love St Pete, but it's really hard to get people to turn out, even if it's for something like Amendment 2. It's the resort/retirement mentality I think. That and the fact that most people try to live as close to the beach as possible, placing them as far from the city center as they could be. This is a weird area in terms of gay geography.

[archive972]

@366314ashley

How come you can't use the context of  "they're" correctly. "There" is describing a place, "they're" would describe a group of people.

[Testorshia]

Thats cute ^_^ promoting Everybody Dance by getting random people i.e everybody :-P to dance. Wish I was there

[MegaIntegrity]

I love to dance and see others having fun and enjoying life ! Get it y'all !!! I would have been dancing too if I would've been there.

[ThackinFlorida]

gr81cb86, you are entitled to your opinion, but you seem like a real negative energy vampire to me. This was a flash mob, and while it wasn't choreographed, we had fun doing it, people enjoyed it, and we raised $5000 for our film festival. Try to be more positive in life.

[MegaIntegrity]

Good job ThackinFlorida ! Iloved it ! Do the damn thing !

[gothicreader]

ThackinFlorida - you have brought so much memory when I use hit the clubs in Miami in the 80's with that song. Thank you for bringing a smile. As for your comment to the other poster - ignore them, they have no concept on what fun is. :)

[ryanlovesmike]

@ThackinFlorida I want to do a flash mob also,don't listen to haters you had the balls to do it! Most people wouldn't!

[gr81cb86]

and all there doing is clapping its like a bad version of high school kids learning to dance i love that they had the thought to try this but wtf is it supposed to be just clap the whole time

[gr81cb86]

look at the dancers theyre just dancing no real coriogrphy just plain dancing around like idiots go watch real flash dancers and see if there all over the place like this

[ThackinFlorida]

Yes, it was planned!

[gr81cb86]

it wasnt planned so it doesnt make it a real flash mob

[QuelleKelKelly]

What do ya think the passerbys just up and joined in ?  Of course it was planned - to promote an upcoming event !

[jakari123456]

this is so cute:-)

[TheStevenReigns]

Todd,

I love it!

[dkjohns]

It's true what they say--Todd is a force of nature. Thanks for enriching our community.

[ThackinFlorida]

How much fun was that!

[chuckhenson1]

AWESOME!
