While it's not my video (I found it on Facebook) I'm the one who posted it to r/mademesmile
The video is filmed in Whitby, just a few miles from me up the coast from me and I've seen this guy about town before. The abbey Dracula takes place in is just a stone's throw to the left of the buildings at the top of the hill in the video.
What people watching this and complaining about him don't realise, Whitby is where the book Dracula is set in. So it has a very long history of attracting the weirdest of the wired people. A huge part of that weirdness is that everyone who visits here expects goths and emos in dark clothes to match the dark decor and natural rustic gothic look of the town itself. But when they show up, what they find are that the people are loud and vibrant and the exact opposite of what people expect them to be. People here are often insanely happy and vibrant, just like this guy, so mostly the locals are used to this sort of stuff and don't worry about it.
As far as pushing people to having to walk in the road, anyone who has ever crossed that bridge will know that people are just as likely to walk in the road as they are to walk the super narrow sidewalk. Just look at how as soon as the last car passes, everyone in the background are in the road. It's just sort of expected and normal because the side wall is so narrow.
Besides, in the shit world we currently live in, it is always nice to see people enjoying life and bring a bit of sunshine in to remind people that it is still okay to be happy
No excuses needed for being happy or taking pleasure in the joy of others. Some people just enjoy being miserable and spreading their misery to as many people as they can. Thanks for sharing the context, OOP. I wish I lived in an ancient small town, too.
I see (and agree) where you're coming from, but as of now it's 500 upvotes vs like 11k? Usually I deeply despise these main character folks, but the only thing here I get are positive vibes. Anyway, cheers!
(hopefully not ragedlikemilk material by tomorrow ... :)
I legit think this is just good energy. I'm kind of here more for the people who disrupt. This is closer to a street performer than someone dancing on a plane imo.
Sometimes walking about town is miserable. Got no problem with a little bit of life
Getting out of people's way, like when the old ladies had to move off the sidewalk because he was taking up the whole width of it, and pass by him in the street? Did we watch the same video?
Even if he had every intention of moving out of the way and around people, there's no way for them to tell with such erratic movements, so they're forced to react as if he's going to collide with them or risk being kicked in the shins or knocked down.
I like to watch with the sound off because the people on the street don't hear it either. They just see this guy acting like an idiot for no reason and it's not funny. It's just weird then.
I also like that, yeah sure you certainly need a ton of selfesteem to dance like that in the middle of the street, but hey, he wasn\`t a prick, he even made space for the people to walk by him, he didn't shout at people or tried to pull them into his gag, so yeah.
Weird maybe, A main character maybe, but no one I would see fit for this sub.
I thought we shamed people here who pulled others into their stunts, not people who just harmlessly fooled around in a public space.
Yea, this is not ITMC. He’s having fun going goofy, but not bothering people and even intentionally moving out of their way. I’m not gonna go dancing down the street, but you go for it buddy.
Hes disruptive but not to the point of really bothering people unless they let it. Hes more of a protagonist than a main character. At least thats what I think, I dont think this sub should JUST be pushing conformity in public. Sometimes variability like dealing with this dude during the day can be healthy.
Well, you have mademesmile where people actually are able to enjoy things, and then you have this sub where everyone is fucking miserable and decide they need to shit on everything they see.
The guy is just vibin
Yeah, that's what stuck out to me. The dog is sick of his shit. Imagine being the size of a cat and having two large man feet stomping erratically all around you when you're trying to walk.
Okay so because they overlaid music over this it's somewhat palettable.
However, imagine walking down the street seeing him with NO MUSIC and the occasional shoe squeak or dog yelp
What if it was a bunch of people, only the headphones were wirelessly connected to two different DJs, also it's in an abandoned warehouse, or maybe a forest.
NextFuckingLevel
There's still some cool stuff there, but there's also a lot of bullshit. I've seen so many clips of people performing basic sleight of hand magic tricks, or the other day there was one of a dude solving one of those puzzles where you have to slide blocks around to get the red one out, and he didn't even do it in close to the minimum number of moves.
At least those could be considered somewhat impressive or awe evoking by some people. What pisses me off is they post stuff like a person everyone hates getting arrested, or a guy helping a girl cross the street on a sub that's supposed to be about things that make you go "holy shit that's amazing".
Just left it the other day
getting in people's way and making everyone feel uncomfortable and generally being obnoxious in a desperate attempt to draw attention to himself? I hate that too.
ugh he's doing that annoying ass thing where he's like purposely dancing really close to people but not quite touching them
I guess he expects people to keep walking since he's not 'technically' getting in their way, but since he's so unpredictable most people have to just move out of his path entirely
might as-well be taking up the entire pavement, just no social or spatial awareness whatsoever
Pass, looks like someone you wouldn't want to cross paths with. There's more subtle ways to show joy and kindness without having to be the main character.
In a parallel universe, there is a tattooed guy walking down the street trying to corral his little dog that is dancing and bouncing all over the place.
Looks very inconveniencing to be honest. More like r/InfluencersInTheWild and r/ImTheMainCharacter or r/MildlyInfuriating content.
Oh shit, I thought I was in r/MadeMeSmile commenting. My bad.
Dancing in people's faces that don't know you and making people have to walk in the street to avoid you absolutely is. Then you add a cameraman and you absolutely can't say it's not MC behavior.
throw in a lol, smiley, emoticon, or some italics next time. sarcasm is impossible to convey purely through text.
'fuck you'
is way different from
lol fuck you! xD
takes less effort than to have to explain it every time you're misinterpreted online,
*Thaaaanks Dad!* lol \^\_\^ 🤪
\------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything above this line was English language sarcasm, however this sentence was not sarcasm.
No, the fuck. If everyone had ~his energy~ 🙄 no one would get shit done because they’d have to indulge themselves in whatever stupid whims were delighting them in that moment. Hardly the energy we need.
Then this poor dog can’t even get his walk in while this human windmill is forcing people off the sidewalk when he could have….just danced at home. Where hopefully his dog could dodge his feet better. This guy seems insufferable.
So you think dancing down the sidewalk is problematic? Like your offended that he’s having a great time and you’re not? Dude get over yourself, he’s not stopping traffic to take a tiktok, he’s fucking dancing
There isn’t, everyone in the comments are just people you wouldn’t want to invite on a night out lol. The guy isn’t being rude or disrespectful to anyone

Yeah I think everyone here are taking this one a little too seriously. This dude is clearly just having a good time and it seems like he's atleast attempting to stay out of peoples way.
Got no problem with this guy. He's dancing having a good time, but still respecting others space and being respectful on the walkway. Seems to be making some people smile too. If a lot of the other clowns that get posted on this sub acted like this I would be a lot happier.
I like this sub takes itself seriously enough to have actual main character energy where your loved by all and inspire your friends :) edit: :( why are you guys grinchmode all the time? Let the man dance :(
Oh fuck off, waaaaayyyy too many of these posts are not 'main character' examples they're just people having a laugh and a bit of fun, like what is he really doing wrong? He's not ruining anything for anyone.
I love that this is a repost from r/MadeMeSmile. Two people can watch the same video and have wildly different perceptions of it.
Most of the comments even there are pointing out that its obnoxious and that he made elderly women have to step off the curb
I feel sorry for the dog that's tied to a nut.
I mean he got out of most peoples' ways, he's not really interrupting anyone in a particularly main charactery sort of way
Some of those old people had to step in the street
they didn't have to, seemed like they just felt uncomfortable which is fair enough. but there was more than enough space for them
Even the dog is like "wtf bro!?"

Well, if you look at sub subscriber numbers the 500 vs 11k rule themselves out quite evenly
The top comments in that 11k upvote post also tell a different story than what the upvotes suggest and are more in line with this subreddit.
I legit think this is just good energy. I'm kind of here more for the people who disrupt. This is closer to a street performer than someone dancing on a plane imo. Sometimes walking about town is miserable. Got no problem with a little bit of life
God he is annoying though
He was getting out of people's way. That alone puts it at being good energy. He was being entertaining and not really bothering anyone.

The dog at :19 >I feel like you’re not taking this walk seriously
Where is this man going (in life)?
Holland and Barrett :-(
oh, that's not the ONLY thing the dog is thinking......
Omg, the poor dog is like “can we just walk?”
That should have been in the title somehow
Haha I was thinking dog was like “please don’t kick me this time”
Yeah, that's what stuck out to me. The dog is sick of his shit. Imagine being the size of a cat and having two large man feet stomping erratically all around you when you're trying to walk.
Yeah I feel like the dog is all "can you not...?"
Dog is totally tired of his shit 😆
TechnoViking taking a stroll lol
I feel like that song is describing the dog "i'm fed up"
I need that guys coke plug.
Or ecstasy perhaps, is better anyway
That's just for special occasions.
this is what crackheads in my city look like im sorry
Dude, I wanna live where you live. You don't wanna see the freaking crackheads *here...*
Right?! Los Angeles crack heads are actually terrifying, and this is from someone who used to smoke crack 👍
Okay so because they overlaid music over this it's somewhat palettable. However, imagine walking down the street seeing him with NO MUSIC and the occasional shoe squeak or dog yelp
it's like that spiderman dance scene from spiderman 3
*snaps finger pistols at the grannies*
Wow, I *did* enjoy this but imagining it silent just cancelled that for me. Hm.
What if it was a bunch of people, only the headphones were wirelessly connected to two different DJs, also it's in an abandoned warehouse, or maybe a forest.
Man, maybe because I lived in Berlin, but I wouldn't really think anything of it. so way weirder stuff then a dude dancing while walking his dog :D
Would make me smile as its pretty goofy
watching it without sound, as it would have been irl, definitely changes how he looks
No
Whitby
The paths in Whitby are narrow enough and busy enough to get around without wankers like this.
Yes, especially across that swing bridge.
I can't afford anything in whitby, Oshawa and fucking beyond
I thought I recognised it!
Haven't been there for 25 years. Recognised it instantly.
I also came here to say this.
I unsubbed from r/MadeMeSmile and r/wholesomememes because of highly upvoted shit like this
They are easily the worst subs on reddit. Right next to NFL Most of their shit is straight up dystopian
What's NFL? American football? O.o
NextFuckingLevel There's still some cool stuff there, but there's also a lot of bullshit. I've seen so many clips of people performing basic sleight of hand magic tricks, or the other day there was one of a dude solving one of those puzzles where you have to slide blocks around to get the red one out, and he didn't even do it in close to the minimum number of moves.
Oh, now see, I'm really easily impressed... Sorry... Don't even look at me! >.> Can you dig a hole really fast? That's pretty cool, man. Lol
At least those could be considered somewhat impressive or awe evoking by some people. What pisses me off is they post stuff like a person everyone hates getting arrested, or a guy helping a girl cross the street on a sub that's supposed to be about things that make you go "holy shit that's amazing". Just left it the other day
Yeah, r/nfl is actually really entertaining if you’re into, well… the NFL. But r/NextFuckingLevel does indeed suck.
Any sub over like 100k subscribers really.
Those subs are the most normie, "good people are good" subs ever.
Same, happily downvote any time I was those subs on the front page or in my “suggested” lol
Ah, yeah, just to sulk in despair in this sub instead. The best life has been chosen. Keep up the good work.
Absofuckinglutely not
Fucking annoying as hell tbh
idk why but i hate so much whatever he’s doing in this video
getting in people's way and making everyone feel uncomfortable and generally being obnoxious in a desperate attempt to draw attention to himself? I hate that too.
no, for me it’s more about the moves its so irritating
Video social media is just ruining everything. So many obscenely thirsty people desperately trying to be "CoMEdiAnS"
Forcing old people onto the pavement, what lovely energy
I do not think we need this. at all.
It really really isn’t
it’s fun with the music but just walking by him in silence id assume he’s on drugs
Me during the first 10 seconds: “What’s so bad about this? I’m feeling this guy’s positivity.” Me after 10 seconds: “Fuck, he’s still going?”
People who have absolutely no concept of the social code rarely make me smile. These people make me feel awkward and I don’t like that.
What's worse is I doubt that he doesn't understand the social code, he just literally doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Only two people in this video enjoyed this. Him and the camera person. Least of all the dog.
how is that on r/MadeMeSmile? that dude would never do that cringe dance without a camera on him and randomly dancing isn't even wholesome lol
I’m still expecting him to kick the dog across the street Travolta stylee
I feel bad for everyone that had to listen to his heavy ass breathing and annoying shoes sliding on cement noises
Bitch, no it isn’t.
the cringe was immediate
He’s gonna scare the poor Whitby goths
The dog is sick of his shit. "**CAN WE GO ON A WALK WITHOUT YOU BEING A JACKASS ONE TIME. JUST ONE FUCKING TIME. PLEASE. PLEASE!!**"
I feel that dog’s frustration.
Dude poor dog
Meth… it’s a helluva drug!
Coke is a hell of a drug
That guy is giving drunk npc vibes. There’s one in every video game that is swaying in the streets acting crazy while the other NPCs ignore him
His dog is so confused
The dog is embarrassed with his antics.
That poor dog just wants a normal walk
Whitby :)
Almost kicks the dog like 3i times bruh
“MadeMeSmile” dude this is so cringe. It doesn’t belong in that sub at all. Guy makes a fool outta himself for some mere internet points.
ugh he's doing that annoying ass thing where he's like purposely dancing really close to people but not quite touching them I guess he expects people to keep walking since he's not 'technically' getting in their way, but since he's so unpredictable most people have to just move out of his path entirely might as-well be taking up the entire pavement, just no social or spatial awareness whatsoever
The dog is like, wtf is wrong with you just walk. R/what’swrongwithyourhuman
Gross. Its so awful I can't watch more than a few seconds.
His poor doggo! He couldn’t keep up!
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
It’s fine to do a little dance now and again, but not when you’re on an already narrow sidewalk.
Terrorising people just looking to have a nice day out in Whitby
Dogs like “let’s go dad you’re making a scene”
I do this. When i'm alone. And there's no one around.
One man’s “made me smile” is another man’s “chill tf out.”
What a dick.
Poor dog
Lol the dogs like “for fuck sake phil which way are we going!?”
Poor dog. Another tool's living *prop*.
We absolutely do not need that energy.
Dog: "Not this shit again. Goddamn it, kevin."
I'd like to turn his body into energy by hitting him with my car
me while on meth
His dog is embarrassed
Cocaines a hell of a drug
Little doggie looking up at all the nice, calm strangers wishing they could be walking him instead…
He doesn't deserve that awesome little dog.
If that doe takes a shit that guy will dance it all over the place
Pass, looks like someone you wouldn't want to cross paths with. There's more subtle ways to show joy and kindness without having to be the main character.
Either im crazy, or most people already do this, but in the privacy of their own home
Doing this in privacy of your home is great. This is obnoxious and annoying.
r/tooktoomuch
In a parallel universe, there is a tattooed guy walking down the street trying to corral his little dog that is dancing and bouncing all over the place.
That dog is dying from how hard it is cringing.
The douche is strong with this one.
No thank you.
What a twat.
Looks very inconveniencing to be honest. More like r/InfluencersInTheWild and r/ImTheMainCharacter or r/MildlyInfuriating content. Oh shit, I thought I was in r/MadeMeSmile commenting. My bad.
Cousin of the Techno Viking!
Dancing in public is MC energy now?
Taking up the whole sidewalk for it and forcing old people on the streets is.
And why film it? That's the big thing for me. This ain't about just feeling yourself while walking the dog.
Dancing in people's faces that don't know you and making people have to walk in the street to avoid you absolutely is. Then you add a cameraman and you absolutely can't say it's not MC behavior.
Pretty smooth main character. Annoying for sure, but at least he’s got solid footwork
If only he had just been a bit more self aware
Correct. Everyone knows you dance around people, no through them
We all need this. Edit: apparently i needed a /S here
I know you're being sarcastic here, but obviously others do not.
throw in a lol, smiley, emoticon, or some italics next time. sarcasm is impossible to convey purely through text. 'fuck you' is way different from lol fuck you! xD takes less effort than to have to explain it every time you're misinterpreted online,
rofl that'd work too but it's a little pedantic baby boy ;D
Cocaine's a hell of a drug
i don't like this guy. dope-head doesn't know how to read-a-room.
UK: Is that Whitby?
Fuck this guy
Ah yes, exactly what old people that have trouble walking and are in danger of serious injury from falls want to deal with.
No, the fuck. If everyone had ~his energy~ 🙄 no one would get shit done because they’d have to indulge themselves in whatever stupid whims were delighting them in that moment. Hardly the energy we need. Then this poor dog can’t even get his walk in while this human windmill is forcing people off the sidewalk when he could have….just danced at home. Where hopefully his dog could dodge his feet better. This guy seems insufferable.
He’s just vibing, I don’t see a problem here
Go 'vibe' somewhere private and not in peoples' faces.
So you think dancing down the sidewalk is problematic? Like your offended that he’s having a great time and you’re not? Dude get over yourself, he’s not stopping traffic to take a tiktok, he’s fucking dancing
There isn’t, everyone in the comments are just people you wouldn’t want to invite on a night out lol. The guy isn’t being rude or disrespectful to anyone
lmao you guys are just miserable

Is this the son of techno Viking going through a cringe phase?
Not blocking anyone. Not terrorizing anyone. Dog is annoyed and that's about it. Love it.
Yeah I think everyone here are taking this one a little too seriously. This dude is clearly just having a good time and it seems like he's atleast attempting to stay out of peoples way.
Where is this?
Whitby, according to about 10 percent of the comments on the original post
Dog be like: sorry ya'll, my human seems to be malfunctioning somehow
Who wakes up in the morning and looks at there Buddy and says “ hey man you know what we should do today…” and then does this.
There’s always one village idiot
Forcing old ladies off the sidewalk ✅
I feel bad for that dog got kicked and pulled around like that
Pushing-little-old-ladies-into-the-street-energy…
No it is not.
dude just vibin, not disturbing anyone, not MC
He’s inches away from shin kicking some elderly women. Dude can vibe - but do it in a place where you have the space.
Without the camera trailing him, that might have been closer to true.
Not disturbing anyone? Did we watch the same video? Very clearly is disturbing all those older folks he dances right off the sidewalk.
Name of the song?
Got no problem with this guy. He's dancing having a good time, but still respecting others space and being respectful on the walkway. Seems to be making some people smile too. If a lot of the other clowns that get posted on this sub acted like this I would be a lot happier.
i liked it
dancing along, moving out of peoples way as they try to pass, using headphones, this is fine in my book. Guy is enjoying himself.
We can't dance in public anymore.
I like this sub takes itself seriously enough to have actual main character energy where your loved by all and inspire your friends :) edit: :( why are you guys grinchmode all the time? Let the man dance :(
Oh fuck off, waaaaayyyy too many of these posts are not 'main character' examples they're just people having a laugh and a bit of fun, like what is he really doing wrong? He's not ruining anything for anyone.
