I couldn’t decide how I felt about this video, so I made a detailed inventory of what happens in the video and rated each moment to determine empirically whether or not it totally ruled:

Things That Ruled: 12
Things That Sucked: 7

[gv data=”4eNBgHMPsak”][/gv]
Verdict: Totally Fucking Rules.

0:05 – sh-101 shown. (rules)

0:15 – guy in sunglasses rolls by in a shopping cart. (rules)

0:21 – girl shrugs, eats candybar, smiles, winks. (rules)

0:40 – misspelled song title. (rules)

0:47 – closeup of beard guy dancing. (sucks)

0:57 – dude in white scarf & sunglasses plays a drum machine (that isn’t plugged in). (rules)

1:10 – Borat-looking guy jerks around a little. (kinda sucks)

1:30 – chick dancing all stupid. (sucks)

1:41 – more shopping cart shennanigans. (rules)

1:50 – “hey you now, only disco / hey you now, only disco dancing.” (rules)

2:00 – rockin’ the synths in a moving shopping cart. (rules)

2:07 – empty shopping carts crash into each other. what’s the point here? (sucks)

2:09 – Borat-looking guy starts rapping. Brain asploded. (rules)

2:30 – Borat and beard guy have some incomprehensible transcation. I think he buys a candybar from the guy in the store, even though clearly neither of them actually work here. I don’t get it. (sucks)

2:50 – Borat raps again a little. (totally rules)

3:00 – Borat steals something. Pretty cool, I guess. (Rules)

3:10 – ‘Don’t stop, I move your body / I want to dance, in the morning.” We knew that already. (sucks)

3:37 – Beard guy finds a drum machine on the rack at the supermarket. That’s gay. (sucks)

3:55 – Beard guy finds ANOTHER drum machine on another shelf. You’ve gotta admire their tenacity. (rules)
