I was not consulted for this video, the word shameful comes to mind. Had I been driving a car I would have been compelled to drive through this crowd.

Most of these kids are RA/MUSG goons who are the only ones that ever go to MU Late Night sober.

The saddest thing about this video (and there's so many to choose from) is that 1.) If this song is supposed to represent "college life" due to Animal House, they need to examine the source. The classic scene was a drunken house party, which is pretty much the antithesis of what this is. It's like Justin Timberlake acting in a performance of MacBeth.

It's pretty much exactly the same as the South Park episode where they spoof High School Musical.

"This....is cool?"

2.) Congratulations on all the hard work and hours that went into choreographing it, but for what purpose? This has got to be the tiniest flash mob that I've ever seen. There's seriously like 30 people. Check out what they did at North Carolina;

admittedly a state school so you can get bigger numbers, but also note the following
-More people having fun
-Fewer people looking at them with a "what a dumbass" expression
-No need for country line-dance choreography
-No matching T-shirts
-More genuine school pride

what a bunch of wankers!

Wow, tough crowd. 

I'll bet their parents thought it was worth the entire $120,000 tuition cost.

I think I might stay in school an extra year so I will not be in the same class as these people.

[Desert_Eagle]

Are all alumni and chapman pompous a**holes or is it just you guys? I'm guessing the latter.

How about we stop being uptight pricks and just enjoy this?

Why the hell are people bashing this video when they don't even know what there watching? For the idiots who don't know what this is, its called flash mobbing.

Although it is pre-planned, it is completely spontaneous in where it happens and when it happens. You can't see it in the video, but if you were there to witness it, you would see that there were several hundred people in central mall who were watching it.

The best example of this is this video that some of you may have seen

So in reality, it was awesome and epic. These were just some seniors having fun, I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

I'd enjoy something if it was of any quality.

Thanks for showing up to the game late Falkinator. Go up and read NKC's post, we know what flashmobing is and this was a piss-poor attempt at it. So take a moment to realize you're own failure. Not Kirt is right saying it's a besmirching of an Animal House Classic moment. If you're gonna play "shout", play it at a house party and do it right. Though I'd say anyone who was in on that choreographed piece of crap wouldnt know what a "house party" is.

Notkirkcameron pretty much summed it up.  If this is an attempt at "flash mobbing", someone should submit it to FAIL Blog.  Awesome and epic was the drunk guy that was running around the 17th St. alley in his underwear waving a plastic sword earlier in the week.  They have to let a guy like that plan these things.

Count me in with Desert_eagle. 

I'd like to see you haters do better.   You organize a few dozen people, choreograph a routine, spend a few hours practicing, execute it, post it here, then we'll compare the two.

+1. Lay off. They're just having a little fun.

Anyone who was at Murphy's one night during Senior Week last year (possibly friday...its all a blur frankly) knows what SHOULD happen when "Shout!" is played....

[reinko]

C'mon 1104, some details...

[Jay Bee]

C'mon 1104, some details...

  Everyone takes a sip of their Miller Lite and high fives each other, with a hearty, "Yeah dude, I'm so ripped!".

It's quite a sight, so I hear.

Jay Bee some bouncer at the Bars take away your fake? or you get your girl stolen there?

GOMU1104 - I am looking forward to my blur of senior week. I hear 2am on Saturday nite before graduation is indescribable.

H-top, d-eagle --> come to murphs/caffs during senior week. you could easily come up with a  better video. And we wont be lip syncing then either. And we'll be more true to original  "Shout" scene.

Nothing like having beer sh*ts and sweating through the ceremonies...not to mention some jabroni putting you to sleep with his speech.  Only entertaining thing was the beach balls.
