It's the dance craze that's sweeping the world, and some recognisable TV shows are getting in on the act.
As reported elsewhere, Saturday Night Takeaway have done their own version with their theme song.

Here's This Morning.

Here's US Wipeout

Here's Swedish Millionaire, this is good

My personal favourite.


Now I'm not usually a fan of these faddy dances, but it shows some forward thinking from the programmes that have been quick on the uptake, to create their own viral hits.

If anyone finds anymore, please post them.

The Last Leg did one. I had no idea what it was. It was the first example of the craze that I had seen.


EDIT: Here it is...

I don't really get it. Perhaps there's nothing to get and I'm trying too hard (this often happens).

The Millionaire one is very good. I'm assuming they don't mention it in any of the speech before or after?

That was the worst one. There was no edit in the middle. The Saturday Night Take Away one used the wrong music too, as has been discussed elsewhere on this forum.

It's amazing how this took off from five random Aussie teenagers posting a clip just a couple of years ago and it quickly being immitated world wide. The Last Leg was the first I saw of it a couple of weeks ago, but it's something TV shows have to be careful about. Those that got in quick got caught amongst the buzz and if they did them well they come out with a bit of online cred, but I think anyone trying now is probably a bit late to the party.

It's just a bit of fun Breks, it won't change broadcasting history...

I can understand people complaining about the SNT one, but I find the music used for the Harlem Shake utterly f***ing terrible, so hearing the SNT theme music is a nice breath of fresh air.

It's a wonder any of the soaps haven't got in on the act yet.

It might be an idea for Comic Relief to do a worlds biggest Harlem Shake, I think a massive sports fixture and a stadium full of people would be required. Didn't Alex Jones do something at The Millennium Stadium once for on Comic Relief night, during a Six Nations game?

What does the original video come under?

I agree. It's worse than £1 fish.
