1 | [[RuleOfFunny As with any series]], ''Just Dance'' has its funny moments. |
2 | |
3 | !!Just Dance 2 |
4 | * The DLC routine "[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Funny/JustDance Here Comes the Hotstepper]]" shows a [[VideoGame/RavingRabbids Rabbid]] attempting to dance with the farmer. The farmer is annoyed and repeatedly shoos off the Rabbid. HilarityEnsues. |
5 | ** Near the end, the Rabbid is struck by lightning and the farmer continues his choreography by [[AgonyOfTheFeet holding his foot]] and spinning his right arm around. He accidentally kicks the Rabbid high into the sky and [[TheNotCatch "tries" to catch him]]. The Rabbid falls and smashes into the ground and the front wall of the barn falls over, revealing many Rabbids packed inside. |

7 | !! Just Dance 4 |
8 | * [[https://youtu.be/07ToHS-MaJI "Never Gonna Give You Up"]]. The dance has a superhero dancing in front of a city that's being invaded by aliens, a giant dinosaur, and giant robots. He's ''JustForFun/{{Rickroll}}ing it.'' |
9 | * They Might Be Giants' "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" in ''4'' is performed by a group of anthropomorphic animals. [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140511181605/justdance/images/8/80/Istanbul.png Just take a look at the dancers]]. |
10 | * The alternate version of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is performed by the purple wrestler from "Final Countdown". [[https://youtu.be/GFHgy3nrOOE?t=27 Just watch]]. |
11 | * ''4'''s version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj4THGBblFo "We no speak Americano"]] is funny as HELL. |
12 | |
13 | !! Just Dance 2014 |
14 | * In 2014's Battle Mode, every battle ends with the winner doing something against their opponent [[PlayedForLaughs hilariously]]. |
15 | ** If "Kiss You" wins against "Pound the Alarm", "Kiss You" holds "Pound the Alarm" in his arms, {{Almost Kiss}}es her, then drops her and walks off casually like a {{Jerkass}} as she disintegrates into hearts. If "Pound the Alarm" wins, she bumps "Kiss You" in the hip and lets him disintegrate into confetti. |
16 | ** If "C'mon" wins against "#thatPOWER", the "C'mon" panda deactivates "#thatPOWER", as he is a hologram. If "#thatPOWER" wins, the panda [[GainaxEnding deliberately jumps off the screen for no reason.]] |
17 | ** If "She Wolf" wins against "Where Have You Been", [[AnIcePerson "She Wolf"]] slowly freezes "Where Have You Been". If "Where Have You Been" wins, [[PlayingWithFire she]] slowly melts "She Wolf". Talk about [[ElementalRivalry ice vs. fire]]. |
18 | ** If "Fine China" wins against "Gentleman", "Fine China" spins around like a tornado and "Gentleman" attempts to do the same, but falls and breaks into marbles. If "Gentleman" wins, he pushes "Fine China", who gets BlownAcrossTheRoom. |
19 | * In ''2014'', the dancer for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOE78EQAKNI Alfonso Signorini]]" turns into a flamboyant superhero after the intro and performs an exaggerated dance. |
20 | * "[[https://youtu.be/Ylppj7E7Jbg?t=29 The Love Boat]]" features a showman dancing an energetic, passionate dance on a wrecked piece of a stage that holds some still working lights and a broken piano. In the background, other wrecked stages float by with a couple dancing to the music, a few members of the live band pass by and perform to the music, while the titular Love Boat slowly sinks into the ocean. |
21 | |
22 | !! Just Dance 2016 |
23 | * Ladies and gentlemen...[[AscendedMeme the]] [[https://youtu.be/AWO_SIlz2u8 Ievan Polkka.]] |
24 | ** [[https://youtu.be/uN4pMAJ65No The Community Remix]] has a feet in this trope and in Sugarwiki/AwesomeMoments. Specially for the cosplayers, the dancers who got toy/plush leeks to dance with, and those who improvised dancing props with stuff like umbrellas, guitars, pillows, toy swords, rolled-up magazines... |
25 | * The JD version of "[[https://youtu.be/CCa11EJTxdg the William Tell Overture]]" is heavily based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_comedy silent comedy]]. And it '''shows'''. |
26 | * "Chiwawa" has an already hilariously cheesy routine, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3tCHG6KYow in this World Challenge video]], one of the dancers is joined by a little boy. Much [[HilarityEnsues hilarity]] [[Sugarwiki/HeartwarmingMoments and cuteness]] ensue. |
27 | * The [[https://youtu.be/vjL0LLw5RqQ Community Remix]] of "I Gotta Feeling" has many, ''many'' cosplayers. Including ComicBook/{{Spider Man}}, [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]], [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]], [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Bugs Bunny]]... |
28 | ** Same goes to the "[[https://youtu.be/UY-o-EjuZe0 Break Free]]" Community Remix which has people cosplaying ComicBook/BatMan, ComicBook/BatGirl, ComicBook/TheFlash, [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers the Red and Green Rangers]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], [[CallBack the "hero" from "Never Gonna Give You Up"]], ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}... |
29 | * The Seated Dance for [[https://youtu.be/RTBkbZDjz2s "Teacher"]] in ''2016'' is one of the funniest levels in the series. It starts with Coach 2 goofing around with the car's radio before breaking into an exaggerated dance once the main song starts playing. Coach 1 behaves as the StraightMan for a while, until eventually proving to be NotSoAboveItAll and joining in with the shenanigans. It was so memorable they were even brought back to a similar level in the following game. |
30 | * "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFvwMj6qocw Drop the Mambo]]" has Mehdi Kerkouche [[WholesomeCrossdresser in drag]] and [[LargeHam hamming his act up]] to incredible levels. |
31 | |
32 | !! Just Dance 2017 |
33 | * ''2017'' has the game's rendition of {{Music/Haddaway}}'s [[https://youtu.be/U2rxDPT9GvI "What is Love"]]. And if that's not enough, its [[https://youtu.be/v8dJ-Qe-psc alternate routine]] [[Series/SaturdayNightLive should seem]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFt7Br1VRVw familiar.]] |
34 | |
35 | !! Just Dance 2018 |
36 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X6b19ukfTA Backpack Kid]]'s dance actually made it into the routine for "[[https://youtu.be/Ls_FWxWo9PI Swish Swish]]" in 2018. |
37 | * Playing "Make it Jingle" in ''2018'' is hysterical - not only because of the lyrics and twerking reindeer but also because of the fact that it's ''completely'' unexpected from an E10+ game. [[https://youtu.be/ETVdSfgXlw0 See for yourself]]. |
38 | * Also from ''2018'' is [[https://youtu.be/9iCubMhbVy4 "Carmen"]], which has players acting as if they were in a bullfight, which means that one player will be the bull. |
39 | |
40 | !! Just Dance 2019 |
41 | * The dance from "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1o4dGFDrhc Shoot]]" by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlocBoy_JB BlocBoy JB]], which [[MemeticMutation became popular]] thanks to ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'', was used as a move in [[https://youtu.be/gC9LRhH4RZA "Rave in the Grave"]]. |
42 | * The furry monster who keeps showing up in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSrx_ekgmOI "Bum Bum Tam Tam"]]. So random and out of place its funny. The way the coaches turn away and lunge at him even looks like they're annoyed at him. |
43 | ** While looked down upon, [[https://youtu.be/OPmjpp9RjNs?t=40 Mad Scientist version of "Bum Bum Tam Tam"]] is still this. Two {{Absent Minded| Professor}} {{Mad Scientist}}s fool around in a laboratory overlooking some corn, mindlessly allow the prohibited hazelnuts into the system and let the machine overheat, fight over the control board P1 was using, and [[FridgeHorror maybe drown]] in an ocean of popcorn. |
44 | * ''2019'''s [[https://youtu.be/9rfSsJbAORw?t=30 "Miłość w Zakopanem"]] is a nonsense and sugary routine about [[CatDogDichotomy cats and dogs going to war against each other]] and then making peace and dancing to the song. They [[RecycledInSpace go to outer space]] at some points. |
45 | |
46 | !! Just Dance 2020 |
47 | * For hilariously unexpected songs, there's a cover of "[[Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian Always Look on the Bright Side of Life]]" (based on the ''Theatre/{{Spamalot}}'' version of the song), [[https://youtu.be/djGyoCJeiss?t=24 which features]] a quartet of spooky characters (a vampire, a zombie gal, a skeleton, and a big purple {{Cthulhumanoid}}) doing a ''chorus line''. |
48 | * [[https://youtu.be/UBaA_Y89Mgw "Fancy Footwork"]] is amusing enough, with a guy in a bathrobe getting ready for a night on the town and imagining himself as a suave disco dancer. But ''WebComic/{{Homestuck}}'' fans who remember the song being used in the "[=WH4T=] NOW?" meme might just bust a gut when it gets to the bridge. |
49 | * The fact that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5Pga2imWF0 "Skibidi"]] uses the exact moves from its [[MemeticMutation viral dance challenge]]. Heck, even the coaches from different routines began performing with the song's coaches in the background. |
50 | ** At one point, you can even clearly see the coach for "[[Music/ArianaGrande god is a woman]]" [[FingerWag wagging her finger]] at the coaches, [[OnlySaneWoman thinking that they are crazy]], [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere before leaving the routine completely and never be seen again]]. |
51 | * Even though "Infernal Gallop (Can-Can)" is a public domain song, Ubisoft decided to make it even more hilarious by creating a cover that is made out of nothing but animal sounds and even edited the coaches so that they have animal heads singing to the song while dancing to it too! |
52 | |
53 | !! Just Dance 2023 Edition |
54 | * While the return of ''[[Music/BritneySpears Toxic]]'' in ''2023 Edition'' is epic, there are still some funny moments throughout the map. |
55 | ** During the chorus, Agent D faces up against assassins dressed in tuxedo, forcing her to dance battle with them…''[[BlackComedy and throwing them out of the plane.]]'' What makes this funnier is that Agent D continues and smiles like nothing ever happened. Unsurprisingly, this has been met with shock by many people. |
56 | -->'''littlesiha:''' ''[nonchalantly]'' You heard it here first, folks. Murder is legal in the Just Dance Cinematic Universe. |
57 | -->'''Dan, Head Editor of WebVideo/GameTheory:''' ''[worriedly]'' I knew flight attendants were trained, but I didn't realize martial arts was part of the onboarding process. |
58 | ** After getting rid of the assassins, Agent D arrives at the front of plane to meet the Pilot of ''Dragostea Din Tei'' tied up in rope, doing a little victory dance of her own. There's something funny about her nonchalantly spinning and shaking her hips while her partner struggles to free himself. |
59 | ** Once everything's said and done, the Pilot is about to stand up before Agent D stops him to let her have the steering wheel. The Pilot could only sit back down, dejectedly. |
60 | |
61 | !! Just Dance 2024 Edition |
62 | * Much like ''Toxic'', the cheery Agent D returns in ''Gimme Me More'' to show the many missions she has been on…[[FunnyBackgroundEvent while the Pilot is chased by their rival assassins.]] While the dance is spectacular in its own right, the story unfolding behind Agent D is pretty ridiculous. One can wonder how Agent D didn't snap so soon by the constant trouble her partner gets into. |
63 | * As huge the DissonantSerenity could go, the map for [[Music/BrunoMars "Treasure"]] is a trippy, dreamy reflection of Jack Rose's arrogant fantasy. From duplicates of himself to his clones taking selfies of themselves to him dancing in front of a crowd filled with ''hundreds'' of Jack Roses. Even ending with a ''gigantic statue of himself!'' The routine could be said to be ItsAllAboutMe at its finest. |
64 | * A meta type for [[Music/{{SZA}} "Kill Bill"]] where there has been mass confusion towards censoring "kill" in the chorus. All they did was replace it with a [[SoundEffectBleep sword slicing sound effect]]. The implications of the lyrics are still there, making the song too funny to take seriously. |
65 | ** Though, then again, the song seem to be a little satirical on the narrator's intention to kill her ex... |
66 | |
67 | !! Non-game-specific Examples |
68 | * Any song involving AmusingInjuries, such as "Limbo" from ''2014'' and "Never Gonna Give You Up" from ''4''. |
