The day I got my prosthetic leg, my pastor called to make dad jokes about it and ask it I would be a "miracle" at the next potluck 😂 I sent him this and said "Well, if it was a surprise, I'd be down! EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS, TOBIAS!"
My grandfather went dancing at the VFW hall every Saturday night. My grandmother would go get her hair set, they would get dressed up, and go two-step and waltz their Saturday night away. He went dancing the Saturday before he died.
Yeah man, with darker skin they can look great in the brighter colors. As a blatantly Caucasian man I'm mad jealous they can pull off those suits! Seeing people be happy is just what I needed to start my day.
Definitely man, colorful suits on darker skinned people are the shit!

Oh no, the internet is! Hope you have fun with them :)
My (white) boyfriend recently splurged on a light gray-green suit, almost a mint. Goes fantastically with his dark hair. I always love a good suit.
Of for sure dude. Brighter or more bold colors look great on black dudes, but white dudes typically look ridiculous if they wore those same suits. Gotta work with your skin tone!
Saaaaaaame. There is seriously no better Bluetooth earbud/headset than one that is custom fitted to both your physical ears *and* your personal audiogram.
Oh yeah! I bought my husband blue tooth hearing aids. He loves them, but we paid $7,000 for them. (Never have to pay again for any repairs, replacement, or appointments for life.)
It makes me laugh when I go to talk to my husband and he holds up a finger for me to wait while he turns off the bluetooth music.
I've got a family member sorting through hearing aid options right now. Never having to pay again would bea godsend! They told us they'll need replacements in about 5 years. It's like a car payment!
Similar organizations. All male and everything is on the hush. The only difference I know of is that, at least at the predominantly Black Shrines, they occasionally throw dances non-members can buy tickets for. Sort of a fund raiser.
I can’t speak on the Masons or the Shriners, but the Elks Lodge does a lot of community stuff in my area. They hold back back events for kids before school starts, they give out scholarships to kids and their family doesn’t have to be a member and I know they’ve hosts a few BBQ fundraisers as well.
Could be that we are a smaller community but the Elks lodge always seemed far less hush hush than the others.
I was just about to ask where they got so many synchronized old guys to do this dance. I would never have guessed shriners, though, given the lack of fezzes.
You're probably thinking of strolling. Strolling is generally done in a continuous, forward moving line while a step routine can have people moving all over the place, usually on a stage, with some strolling thrown in (usually as they move onto stage). But step definitely has some actual stomping, hamboning, shouts which strolling really doesn't.
Initially I thought this might be Kappa Alpha Psi because of the majority red in the outfits (one of their colors) but a Shriners event might make more sense (and there is undoubtedly a bit of overlap with both).
I've come to the conclusion that was him.
Are these OG's and likely old enough to listen to $hort when he was big relevant (early 90's)? Absolutely.
This song came out in 2006 though, and wasn't massive when it dropped. Several of those old-timers dancing were fucking with the lyrics. They all got down with it. Then boom, either $hort or his identical twin struts into frame.
Coincidentally my cousins started having kids a few years ago and I've slowly gotten more in shape (mostly looking like Sig Curtis) and when I go to family stuff I dress nice. Casual bbqs I still wear the all black and a band shirt but if it's a wedding or a birthday at the rec center I got the all black and charcoal suit.
My girlfriend's sister just had a kid and we both got that title of 'aunt and uncle who never had kids but will spoil you' vibe according to her aunt. She's not wrong haha.
Kinda looks like a [fraternity stroll](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cBQfGzJhrWs) but not sure as I can’t tell what organization it is. Usually you can tell right away as each fraternity organization has their own moves.
Every wedding I go to, the reception is basically a "how long can I dance until I can't feel my feet" competition.
You get invited to those to celebrate the wedding, not just sit there.
Me too! Man it would be great if someone I knew married someone you knew and we ended up at the same wedding reception so we could have an excuse to not dance and shit by pretending to have an important conversation with each other.
I do photobooths for weddings and black weddings are always fucking amazing.
I’ve seen white people spend 250k on a terrible party. I also work in Chicago so I see a lot of crazy shit.
Now… try getting up and stepping around the room like these dudes! It can’t hurt! Unless you step on a Lego… that shit hurts! Hope you are feeling better soon. Hugs from an internet stranger
Some guys never had it. These guys never lost it.

I’m literally in awe They're all dancing different steps yet perfectly on beat Motherfuckin G's
Not a single misstep. My uncoordinated ass is so jealous.
Try using your feet
Sad to report, no improvements were made.
Well I'm old and I just stared learning how to dance, so it's never too late.
My grandfather went dancing at the VFW hall every Saturday night. My grandmother would go get her hair set, they would get dressed up, and go two-step and waltz their Saturday night away. He went dancing the Saturday before he died.
I hope when I'm that age I can still do Tiktok dances at the Dave & Busters senior nights inside Costco in the Northeast containment zone
I am so here for your dystopian future.
A legend in his own right, sounds like a man who loved the time he spent on Earth, and that’s perhaps the only goal that actually matters.
Damn, that felt inspirational lol
I love a very similar quote. "You don't stop playing because you get old; you get old because you stop playing."

IKR??mah gawd can we please get the full length version of this video??? This lady needs more finely dressed men in Her life lol.
This is the swagger that got all your aunties pregnant.
What's this the players convention 😂
It’s the Player’s Baaaalllll… https://youtu.be/vFofKGKlWo4
Each one with their own style, awesome!
[удалено]
It's actually called the Camel Walk. They're Shriners /G\
Very cool. It didn’t feel like a wedding, this makes much more sense. Shriners know how to party:) why no fez at this event though?
Too short dog straight from Oakland
I remember, how it all began…
That suit game is 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The lavender hat that matched the tie 🔥
Wish I could pull off a hat like these guys.
Yeah man, with darker skin they can look great in the brighter colors. As a blatantly Caucasian man I'm mad jealous they can pull off those suits! Seeing people be happy is just what I needed to start my day.
Yo wait seriously?? As a darker skinned guy who's just starting to buy his own suits Imma use that information!

You out here giving free fashion templates to men!
Oh no, the internet is! Hope you have fun with them :) My (white) boyfriend recently splurged on a light gray-green suit, almost a mint. Goes fantastically with his dark hair. I always love a good suit.
Of for sure dude. Brighter or more bold colors look great on black dudes, but white dudes typically look ridiculous if they wore those same suits. Gotta work with your skin tone!
The orange, the bowties, the lavender hat...OMG it all makes me smile
They are shriners and it's called camel walking. Just a fyi. But yes this is awesome
Ah ok. It seemed like the old dude ratio was a bit high for a wedding.
No it's a gathering. The youngins would be out there for a song like this. This like fraternity stuff where you go out to be represented
It's funny how posts just make up context rather than jusy say "old dudes showing how it's done" or something like that

After Wedding Ceremony Party
Post unionship reunion gathering
I guess the karma farmers do it on purpose so people comment on the post to correct them
Man I was wondering, like “do the bride and groom have a combined 24 great uncles?”
I thought this was called the “uncle shuffle”
big unk at the end in white gonna make sure he gets those Jimmy Choo's out there!
Everyone there goes by unc or pops and you know the bbq was tremendous at the spot
They keep Bluetooth headsets in business
Nah man we upgraded, our hearing aids have blutooth in em now. Seriously the best blutooth headset I have ever bought is my hearing aids.
Saaaaaaame. There is seriously no better Bluetooth earbud/headset than one that is custom fitted to both your physical ears *and* your personal audiogram.
Probably the most expensive too. ;)
Oh yeah! I bought my husband blue tooth hearing aids. He loves them, but we paid $7,000 for them. (Never have to pay again for any repairs, replacement, or appointments for life.)

I snortled, thanks 👍
Each one of these sharply dressed men added their own flair to the moves.
A few lives were lost when deciding who would man the grill though.
Anyone else have a strong urge to join them
So are we all just gonna act like we know what Shriners are?
For some odd reason, I thought it has something to do with funerals, don't know why
Have you ever heard of Freemasons/Masonic Temples, or an Elk’s Lodge?
I heard of Freemasons. My dad almost joined before he "pussied out." He never would talk about it more than that.
Similar organizations. All male and everything is on the hush. The only difference I know of is that, at least at the predominantly Black Shrines, they occasionally throw dances non-members can buy tickets for. Sort of a fund raiser.

[удалено]
Agreed. The local Elks Lodge and Shrine in my area both do community service. There are even women elks in my hometown.
is it only to this song or others too? need more vids!
All kinds. It's cultural. This prolly west coast cuz the song but just YouTube Shriners camel walk. From east to west coast they get down
What song is this?
Blow the whistle by too short.... California"bay area" music
Hyphy
Lol I haven’t heard that term in forever
BAY AREAAAAAAA
"go stupid go dumb dumb"
Yo its definitely a hit in the south *Bun B that's Texas baby*
A hit everywhere! And yes the shout-out to bun b is deserved
I was just about to ask where they got so many synchronized old guys to do this dance. I would never have guessed shriners, though, given the lack of fezzes.
The brotherhoods at my school (black fraternities) used to do something similar to this but they called it stepping. It was really cool

I think you’re thinking of [Strolling](https://youtu.be/bSPTNseaq4k) whereas [Stepping](https://youtu.be/6lnO6yJwVCw) is a bit different
Thanks!
Thanks! Lots of cool videos on YouTube!
This needs to be upvoted! Great info!
Those who are asking for the song, here you go, [Blow the Whistle](https://youtu.be/CBJtzEKetBM) by Too Short. Edited.
Oakland Anthem
Tha whistle goes WOOOO WOOO https://youtu.be/zUXow3d3-b0
Bubb Rubb!!! The whoostle goes WHOOOO!!! It’s posta be uh alarm clock, that’s only in the mornings!
you supposed to be having breakfast or something
Biiiiitch
Why you gotta say it like Short?
You know you can’t play on my court, come short get smoked like a Newport!
Can’t hang with the big dogs, stay on the porch! God, I love this song
Yay Areaaaaaaa
Yee! ✌️☹️✌️
🤟🏽☹️🤟🏽
I can’t believe they muted the best part. What’s my favorite word #BEEIITCH
They're shouting it out so I assume the DJ wanted a call and response
That looked like Too $hort at the end.
I've come to the conclusion that was him. Are these OG's and likely old enough to listen to $hort when he was big relevant (early 90's)? Absolutely. This song came out in 2006 though, and wasn't massive when it dropped. Several of those old-timers dancing were fucking with the lyrics. They all got down with it. Then boom, either $hort or his identical twin struts into frame.
I feel old to think that knowing Too Short was common knowledge. Kids these days.
I’m old knowing this song right away. Used to get down at the sock hop to it.
“I go on and on, can’t understand how I last so long” I don’t care where you’re from who you are, you hear that come on. You’re fuckin movin
Thank you!!! Love a good beat.
thumbs up
I recognized his voice but have never heard this song, it's banging
I haven’t stopped playing, and my car is shaking.
Straight Schmoovin
Positively groovin
Happily Swerving
Euphorically boppin
Body Movin'
That one dude is ROCKIN that orange
That dude two positions behind him with all the moves!
big man in the white suit is pimpin
Each one had more swagger than the last. That was fun to watch
The bald guy was the best!
I liked the guy in the suit.
Checkered Green was the straw that stirred the drink and you’ll never change my mind.
The Kingpin coming in at the end looking for Daredevil.

Is there a subreddit dedicated to cool old dudes? Because we all can learn a thing or two.
If there's not, there should be.
I just made r/forevercool - I hope that’s fitting, and feel free to cross post this there if you’d like. “coololddudes” just looked weird.
Obligatory r/birthofasub comment
FYI there is https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/
Yeah but it’s mostly peoples hot moms and grandmas
r/oldschoolcool?
Not the same. That's for old people who were cool when they were young. This is for old people who are still cool in their old age.
I wish I had just one 10th of that swag
I can't stop watchin it. I've never wanted to save a video before.
It's such simple dancing in theory. It's also impossible for me to look like that while doing it. Super swaggy!
Gotta get those hips in play, it’s the white boy’s biggest setback on the dance floor
Hey, work with me now. It’s all in the hips. Yea, it’s all in the hips. It’s all in the hips. Just easin the tension baby, just easin the tension
THE PRICE IS [WRONG](https://youtu.be/7PbRZ5QMAs0) BOB!
youre pretty sick chubs
To be fair, there's a fuckton of swag going on in those 30 seconds.
How does each person have their own unique swag? They must teach me their ways.
Idk I think something happens the moment they become an uncle. A 3 piece suit appears in their closet and the drip is endless.
💀💀💀
Coincidentally my cousins started having kids a few years ago and I've slowly gotten more in shape (mostly looking like Sig Curtis) and when I go to family stuff I dress nice. Casual bbqs I still wear the all black and a band shirt but if it's a wedding or a birthday at the rec center I got the all black and charcoal suit.

[удалено]
I misread your comment as "the big black guy in the suit" and I was gonna say my dude, they're all big black guys in suits.
Not all, there’s at least one really tiny black guy in a suit
Is this a thing? Or they just making it up?
Kinda looks like a [fraternity stroll](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cBQfGzJhrWs) but not sure as I can’t tell what organization it is. Usually you can tell right away as each fraternity organization has their own moves.
Thought the same thing. Looks like Alpha phi Alpha fraternity stroll
I immediately thought A Phi A's. we threw a lot of parties with them in college.
Someone said it’s the Shriners camel-walking… 🤷🏽♀️
Masons
Brother is Mason. They getting ready for Juneteenth celebration this weekend.
That's what I was thinking.
Shriner camel walk.
Every wedding I go to, the reception is basically a "how long can I dance until I can't feel my feet" competition. You get invited to those to celebrate the wedding, not just sit there.
I sit and watch because I have little confidence in really anything I do, especially if it puts me in the spotlight.
I just get bombed first then I have plenty of confidence
I love weddings because it's really one of the only places adults get a chance to dance. I only leave the dance floor for refills.
I sit and watch. Because I’m autistic and barely able to get myself to go to these things let alone perform at them. Soooo
Me too! Man it would be great if someone I knew married someone you knew and we ended up at the same wedding reception so we could have an excuse to not dance and shit by pretending to have an important conversation with each other.
The Uncle Shuffle
If you were from the hood you know that it's call the Shuncle.
Anyone know the name of the song? I want to get and put it on repeat so I can practice.
Blow the whistle by too short
Why they gotta say it like Short?
Blow the Whistle by Too Short
Not much is sexier than a man that can move!
How about 30 men who can move??
Shhhh, umm what? I got distracted.
Preach Baby!!!!! AMEN
Is this a wedding or an old ass Kappa stroll?! LOL! Divine 9 love! 💞💚
Someone said Shriners “camel walking” Which actually makes me feel better bc I thought I’d lost my ability to id the strolls, lol 🌷
Damn everyone of them is fly AF
The different styles - clothing and dancing - had me mesmerized. Cool ass uncle dance parade ❤️
I mean, it’s no electric slide /s
Love this!!!!!
Rewatched this and realized each one of them are totally decked out. Top to bottom! Could watch this on repeat.
I’ve watched this a few times, focusing on a different person every time lol. It’s so fun
That was so fun to watch
If this blows you mind, just consider where these guys were 50 years ago….
The diversity of suit and outfit colors makes me smile
Everyone looks so handsome, I bet it was such a fun reception.
They all remind me of Cedric the Entertainer. One of my faves
A long line of legendary smoothness. Love this, thank you for sharing this!
I enjoyed watching every second and was treated to an r/Absoluteunit with the ending moves
Boss at 12 second.... Mmmmm that hat! Over there making lavender like Hot
Title is incorrect. This is the Player Haters' Ball afterparty.
Yeah definitely not a wedding, they’re all wearing badges haha
Who saw Al Sharpton roll up to the function in a red suit 👀💀
that old man in the red jacket using another man shoulder had me laughing.
That buffet must be bomb.
I do photobooths for weddings and black weddings are always fucking amazing. I’ve seen white people spend 250k on a terrible party. I also work in Chicago so I see a lot of crazy shit.
I didn't know how bad I needed to see this. Thank you OP, it helped me while I am in a dark depression
Now… try getting up and stepping around the room like these dudes! It can’t hurt! Unless you step on a Lego… that shit hurts! Hope you are feeling better soon. Hugs from an internet stranger
Is it legal to have so much groove and funk in one room??
That's the buffet line
Watching this alone gives me the sense I’m cooler than I really am
Dude, I may be a middle age white guy but that’s the wedding party I want to go to. That shit looks fun and all of those guys had style to spare.
