That "clap and shake" move works with any song.

[@raymonamartin232]

I invented the clap and shake

[@vamtheanomaly]

Even Guile's Theme Goes with Everything?

[@rt09pachuau21]

It even works with Church songs 😂

[@Dkpiano15]

I've seen my dad do more than half of those moves!

[@beamimibee]

yeah I know...my father dances more than your.....( yeah i know that one too !! my father has the bigger one yablah ! )

[@Blondfoxy24]

...that smiling face with that wig and those glasses....TOO FUNNY!!! great Jimmy

[@NellieKAdaba]

Yeah!

[@markusneulaniemi4444]

+Lydia D C Yes! The stupid smile, horrible glasses, pants too high up. Jimmy Fallon is so good with characters!

[@ragevanilla]

the slippery snake just kills me every time! too funny!

[@TheFlicka28]

My Dad does the slippery snake...

[@makelaful]

I'm watching this 9 years later and I'm still impressed that Jimmy nailed these dances!

[@EVILOSERUN]

the random pointer is the real thing!

[@Momo_Minomo]

+Mighty EVILOSERUN LOL the first thing I thought of when I saw the pointer was Kaidan from Mass Effect 3! And they say the Shepard Shuffle is bad!

[@lizzoiwana]

The clap and shake is soo hilarious, I've seen many dads doing the same movement

[@Lauraaaaaaaab]

my dad did the grab and thrust once, i haven't been able to see ever since.

[@livs4721]

😂💀

[@louisabowman4608]

Dying at the wrong macarena

[@GiovanniMariaTommaso]

This is surly one act out of many that will become a classic! And for all of you out there who don’t know how to understand subtle humor, pay close attention, for Jimmy is a natural. Jimmy is undeniably one of the greats. Versatile and always an open character playing to the audience without pretense or fabrication. He’s a Dean Martin and a Jerry Lewis rolled up into one. Praise God for the man’s talent.

[@SisterCaliGal]

agreed!💃🏻

[@amandathomas2367]

When you realize you're dad does all of them

[@EasyBreezy41]

Gotta love the roots....those beats

[@bobbillings]

I dance those moves now and I'm NOT a dad, dam!!

[@nro24markkua]

[@bjam89]

[@greeneyes011765]

[@HavanaSaint]

"nordic track" and "clap and shake" lmao

[@usr9524]

My dad always did the clap and shake when I was a kid.

[@scattysafari7742]

Until you hurt your back." LOL. If you're middle-aged with a bad back, this is too funny.

[@ZimmermanTelegram]

the 'random pointer' had me in stitches. So true.

[@videofreak40]

Totally hilarious! How does he get to do these moves from the 80's/90's so flawlessly? Clothes, hair, moves, facial expression and music is soooo spot on! Amazing talent !!

[@SeiKawaii]

Thanks for the moves...now I can dance like a pro

[@IsabellaM1989]

The YMUC.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Yes, because the sad can't do YMCA.

[@BMarie774]
