    Don't know if there is a full vid of the Dub one but here is the full one




    How did the UK fook it up?:rolleyes: (Graham Norton nearly split up laughing when that was shown)

    So any boardsies in there? And when was it filmed? I think that is Meeting House Square but not 100%.

    Dancers in the gallery a good idea.

    Flash mob is a Flash Mob. They were a dance group booked to dance there.

    Big Difference.

    Thank you berty! A group of people learning a routine and going to a place at a set time to perform is not a flash mob! Me telling all my friends to turn up in a place in 15 minutes with pillows to have a giant pillow fight is what a flash mob is. Not weeks of planning >.>

    Was expecting nudity and all I get is poxy dancers with good coordination...WTF?!

    Still better than the UK. A drunk jumping up and down in front of the camera and people being lifted through the crowd as though they were on waves. There was no syncronised dancing at all.

    Thats not true, most people there were randomers who went along on the day with a smaller group of pros to help them learn a few simple moves.

    Flash mobs have become boring and overdone. So I don't really care too much.

    However - that is not a Flash Mob, that is an organised dance that was filmed.

    Trust the Brits to fcuk it up, nothing spontaneous about the whole thing though.

    Look at some of the 'dancers' in the middle, they haven't a clue what they're at - particularly the guy in the blue, I think he's even having a laugh! :pac:

    slightly disagree ... :D

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    As Anonoboy said, this wasn't a Flash Mob

    That would carry some legitimacy if our own country wasn't going down the pooper.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 125 ✭✭YouTalkinToMe


    have to say i enjoyed that bit and i thought dublin and sweden were the only countries to do it very well.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Gun laws need to be relaxed slightly in order to allowed irritated citizens to shoot flash mobbers.

    We're at breaking pioint here. There is only so much public zaniness we can take.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    course not. I was on the internet. :)perfect alibi.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,289 ✭✭✭parker kent


    I remember hearing on Ray Darcy's show that they were looking for people to show up on the day. They had the main dancers at the front, but the rest were just randomers.

    I just showed this comment to my British mother, who sighed sadly and said, "Well, that's what we do, isn't it?"

    By the way I loved quite a few of the songs on Eurovision this year, I have ordered the CD, I can't wait for it to arrive.

    That Irish thing where everyone starts going ''WUH WUH WOO!!'', I fcuking hate it!!!

    It was annoying in about 1996 when people started doing it and it's still bloody annoying now.
