LaDainian Tomlinson's Electric Glide

LaDainian Tomlinson made this song and dance video. It is apparently a video Nike has had forever and chose to release now for no particular reason. I have no idea what else to say about it. But I know you should watch it immediately.

Man, that's cool. Takes guts to do something like that.

I saw this yesterday on PFT. The production quality (or lack thereof) is reminiscent of that on The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Here's where they got their idea:

If they didn't have Tim and Eric make it, I hope they at least gave them a little cash for it.

I also immediately thought of Tim and Eric.

It also bears the musical influence of the great "Flea Market Montgomery" video.

It's just like... It's just like... a Mini... Mall.

I think this Eric person was the "director" of the video.

Wow... Just... Wow.

Wow . . . that's awful. Awesome, but awful.

Nice disguise, Bret and Jemaine!

I had a myriad of jokes inspired by "Hit the hole! Hit the hole!" regarding LT trying to have a child, but I'll just keep them to myself... lol

Yes, miscarriages are very funny.

Boo! Boo!!
It was bad!
It was pretty terrible.
I didn't really like it.
It could've been a lot worse.
There were parts that were very good, though.
It wasn't bad.
Well, it was pretty good...
Oh, that was great!
I loved that!
Bravo!
That was wonderful!

There are no words.

It had words.

This is my new favorite RaiderJoe comment EVER.

That was without question one of the most surreal things I have experienced.

"Look at your wife, see your uncle"
HOLY. SHIT.
That must be the most disturbing and horrible line of lyric ever created. Brrr.

I now want LDT to score a TD this week and do the dance.

Sometimes you see something on YouTube the irrevocably changes your life, perhaps like Christian the Lion (I Will Always Love You).

This is one of those things.

Greatest video in the history of videos.

Peter King would agree with you.
If this was the latest thing he saw and if it was 1 on the binary scale, for him it would be the greatest thing ever.

RJ's #19 comment is perfect.

Yes.

When did I die and re-enter the 80s?

sweet

"shake your little hips... ha ha ha ha"

The comments after it are pretty good--I like the one suggesting LT is on PCP.

Of course if I were a Chargers fan, I'd dig a hole in the back yard and bury my head for a couple hours, or weeks.

I like the wonderfully inappropriate backing dancers. The mad tramp they have with the t-shirt saying 'hit that hole' is amazing.

I am Chargers fan and this was a thing of beauty. I was afraid it was going to be some schmatzly, well-produced, "LDT as superman"-type video.

Sometimes the strange and awful transcends to something of surreal beauty, like the occasional piece of modern art that you actually like/get.

It's good, but to be honest, that Tim and Eric vid was superb. Thanks for pointing it out!
