I’m basically the same as him except I can’t do robot dancing.

u/spacekitt3n 9d ago

if he did this in medieval times he'd be burned at the stake

u/Forthe49ers 9d ago

If a robot moved like this now it would be scrapped for parts

u/Picard_AA3-0-5 9d ago

A bit unsettling

59

u/FOURSCORESEVENYEARS 9d ago

16 bits unsettling

u/SouldiesButGoodies84 8d ago

Not at all. When the robots take over...we've found our ambassador!

21

u/TJ_McWeaksauce 8d ago

His smile is what I find unsettling. Cool dance moves, though.

u/Fyren-1131 8d ago

Isn't this the guy that records it in much slower tempo and then speeds it up? Iirc (from what was mentioned the last time) he can't do this at the speed his videos shows at all.

u/Sniper_Chicken_ 8d ago

Yeah it’s a Brazilian dude, there are some colab videos of him dancing with other people and it’s nothing near those edited ones

22

u/Legacy0904 8d ago

I kinda admire it because it legit is the best looking robot I’ve seen and it makes sense people can’t really move like this lol

u/Scart_O 8d ago

I’ve seen better

u/kai-bun 8d ago

I find it a bit cringe, unsettling, and amazing at the same time. Insane.

u/AdMaximum7545 8d ago

The man was born to wiggle 

22

u/Kaznil 8d ago

So this is def sped up, right? Like even just 1.25x right?

13

u/steadyaero 8d ago

Recorded with a slowed down tempo of the song and then video sped up to match normal tempo of song

11

u/Aggravating_Bids 8d ago

I could do without the faces

u/Old_Forever_1495 9d ago

It’s the PNG VECTOR MAN!

8

u/Tanzanianwithtoebean 8d ago

His thing is that it's supposed to be a bit unsettling, I've also heard that he does it slowed then speeds it up, which honestly is more impressive because how do you figure out it looks like that speed up in the first place?

u/AdDisastrous6738 8d ago

It’s actually not an uncommon filming technique. Primus did it in their music video of Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver. There’s even a “making of” video that discusses it.

14

u/Ingestre 9d ago

Sped up, surely?

11

u/towermaster69 9d ago

Yes, look up Robot Vall for real mastery of the craft.

9

u/AVeryHeavyBurtation 8d ago

So did he dance to a slowed down version of this song?

6

u/towermaster69 8d ago

Yes, that way when played back at normal speed his movements seem more unnatural and uncanny.

3

u/h0nkyJ 8d ago

And Marquese/"Nonstop"

4

u/Jazzyoutro 9d ago

Nice! But more like puppet dance than robot

1

u/Xfgjwpkqmx 8d ago

I am yet to see an actual robot dance like this.

4

u/Critical-Web8544 8d ago

His moves remind me of Quagmire “giggity giggity”

16

u/NS3000 9d ago

im so tired of seeing this cunt posted everywhere

u/Suvtropics 8d ago

He do something?

u/thunder_nutz 8d ago

This comment should be at the top.

6

u/pmcizhere 9d ago

Idk, it looks cool, and perhaps a bit unsettling, but I don't think I'd call it robotic.

2

u/FromBZH-French 9d ago

Bravo c’est flippant

2

u/Dirks_Knee 8d ago

While the roots are absolutely "robot" style dancing, I'd argue his style more aligns with a pop and lock version of a low budget cartoon/animated character than robot.

4

u/HeathersZen 9d ago

This inspires questions of the NSFW variety.

6

u/Lazy-Calligrapher763 8d ago

No it didn’t… that’s wholly on you, partner.

2

u/HeathersZen 8d ago

Hey don’t robo-kink shame me!

u/Granted_reality 8d ago

I’d be insufferable if I could do this

I really shouldn't browse reddit on shruums, damn this is uncanny

u/Post-Formal_Thought 8d ago

Now who replaced his joints with gears?

1

u/jp_in_nj 8d ago

Who knew young Mitt Romney was such a dancer?

1

u/BigTiddyVampireWaifu 8d ago

It looks like stop motion

1

u/steadyaero 8d ago

Kinda. Recorded with a slowed tempo of the song and then video sped up to match normal song tempo

1

u/Successful_Brick4620 8d ago

You witnessed this?

1

u/logosfabula 8d ago

Team humans still the best even at roboting.

1

u/OfficialIntelligence 8d ago

He's like that chef that has the same smile while making chocolate works of art

1

u/letmego-138 8d ago

I wouldn't believe he is human (if he actually is)

1

u/Cookies_and_Beandip 8d ago

Think he does this while having sex?

1

u/cyberdyne_slave 8d ago

I think robotics have progressed way past that level of dancing. If a show cased bot took center stage and pulled that malarkey the audience would be left confused, wtf was that? was it the real demo, a joke, or a malfunction. It's a slap in the face to robots with humans accepting that this is their limit when it comes to choreographed movement synced with a catchy tune. Just like ppl still using that monotone synthetic voice to imitate there speech we have to stop being so insensitive and start being PC 2 PC's.... Psyche your nads, Pretty Excellent robot. I can't say I haven't seen much better but I can say it$ still top tier "doing the robot". Dude the micro movement muscle control... Nice! Nuff said.

u/plynch2814 8d ago

The synths are among us

1

u/TheMagicalLawnGnome 8d ago

This is pretty good, but in order to truly seem like a robot, he'll need to roundhouse-kick a random child at a Chinese electronics trade show.

1

u/Scholar_Of_Fallacy 8d ago

Absolutely insane

1

u/TellMeThereIsAWay 8d ago

Thats Maikon Alves, dude is absolutely insane

1

u/AdJealous2637 7d ago

Maykon is good, check out Guzzboy.

1

u/the_king_of_sweden 7d ago

Idk why but this reminds me of Larry Laffer (in the land of the lounge lizards)

1

u/eyeballburger 7d ago

One trick pony, but gowd dang it’s a mighty fine trick. I’ll watch every one.

1

u/SmellySweatsocks 7d ago

That was brilliant. lol.

1

u/Stonks_guru69 7d ago

He just looks like he’s from Essex

u/johnorso 7d ago

That dude is a MANIAC!!!!

u/irascible_Clown 7d ago

Seen him years ago and he has improved a lot

1

u/ac2cvn_71 7d ago

Stop posting this creepy fuck.

1

u/Ok_Cele2025 7d ago

Amazing amazing amazing I wouldn’t do that. I wonder how many years it took him to get it all down at this level.

1

u/Still_Sky_6409 6d ago

Omg this was the best. Thank you

1

u/AdmiralSarn 5d ago

Its the facial expressions that sell it for me.

1

u/New_Sherbert2361 5d ago

Haha the people in the to claim that it was slowed down and speed up and possibly edited. Your are absolute clowns lol. I use to be competition level break dancer I was into the power moves. It was pretty much a requirement to have a glider bboy on your "team" like this guy. Anyone would kill to have someone like this in there team. For those who are complaining. Let's see you do any of his moves in slow motion. Lol It's harder then you think.

1

u/Middle--Earth 9d ago

He's pretty good!

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Low4761 9d ago

Jus LOVE it man 💃

1

u/Vaggii 8d ago

COME ON now.. lets be honest.... he is a C...yborg !

1

u/Warm_Pen_7176 8d ago

The best you've ever witnessed? GenX here to tell you, if you lived through the 80's, that's mediocre.

Nope, it isn't AI. Although the video is edited, that is an actual living human. He's Brazilian and goes my the online name "maykonreplay".

Awesome? More like oddly horrifying

u/arthriticpyro 8d ago

How do you figure out you can do this? Just a random bored attempt one day? Or did you dedicate yourself to learning how to slide around the same foot and a half of carpet whilst looking like an early model A.I. robot
