Today, my dad walked in on me filming a Harlem Shake video. He stared for a moment, then said, "Son, I don't have a problem with homosexuals, but… nevermind", shook his head and walked out. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I asked my dad if he'd like to see the photos of my wedding, which he didn't bother to come to. Reply: "What the fuck, are you gay or something? Keep that homo stuff to yourself." My wife started laughing so hard she was crying. FML
Today, my son had to help out at the local retirement home for his community service. He got in serious trouble and came whining to me about it after he tried threatening some of the residents into taking part in a Harlem Shake video. FML
Today, my dad met my boyfriend. It took less than 10 seconds for him to accuse my boyfriend of being a "queer" because his handshake was "too limp". FML
Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML
Today, I walked in on my dad singing along to a song on Sesame Street. He tried to divert attention from what I'd just witnessed by angrily grilling me over "just barging in" and not respecting people's privacy. Apparently he forgot that we were in the living room. FML
Today, I came out of the closet. Now whenever I'm getting ready to go somewhere with my dad he says, "Lesgo, lesbo." FML
Today, I video-chatted with my mom and showed her my new, very short haircut. My dad walked in, took one look at me and said, "I can only attribute this to penis envy," and walked out again. FML
Today, I finally came out to my dad, who is a priest, as gay. He responded by splashing me with holy water to "banish the demon within" me. FML
Today, my dad seemed moody, so to lift his spirits, I told him I loved him. He just snorted, "You gay or something, boy?" Really mature, dad, really mature. FML
Today, my father contacted me for the first time in years to ask about my upcoming wedding, and possibly walking me down the aisle. He claimed the only reason he left was because he thought I'd be gay. I am. FML

All the Harlem Shake videos should be destroyed. I dunno why you thought this would be a good idea.

What about the Heat's video?
FitForFun 11
That's not very fair, the first few we random and funny. All the ones after that were okay just not as great. I found them funny. It gives people like me with ADHD hope in this world since I feel like doing that most of the time.

Harlem Shake went out of style within the week it was started. YDI.

The Heat one was the first time I saw the Birdman. I'm from Miami and was like "Who the hell is that?"

I think that the Harlem shake only got as much hate as it did because it got so popular. There are a lot of funny ones (but i agree that after the explosion died out, sorry, but the opportunity to do one now without looking foolish is gone.)

#12 Shut up. EVERYONE these days "has ADHD". some people really do have it, yes. but a lot of people being treated for it are morons.
wallandpiece 16
Don't see why everyone hates it so much. It's only people having a laugh. Those videos did nothing to affect you personally. Yeah it is quite old now but so are all other trends from months / years ago. It's as if you're using "it's out of style" as an insulting phrase..

Have you seen how gay some of them get? It's basically guys dry humping each other for thirty seconds... A definite YDI
Pyro_Wolf 17
48- as a bi guy, I see nothing wrong with that.
Zimmington 21
50- Then there's plenty for you to get out your lotion and enjoy.

ADHD isn't a proper disease, it's just an excuse to be a moron.
Blackcatluck 19
Says who?
wallandpiece 16
Would you mind explaining what is wrong with being gay, and why you decided to use the word in a derogatory way?

#66, I have ADHD and I'm really smart, I get A's and B's in school. I'm a bit random, hyper and weird at times, yeah I get it, but that doesn't mean that I'm a moron.

That's how you do things in medieval Scotland

I agree

What did you guys have on? What items were in your posesion to make him say that?
NoMore_CoolNames 14
Has it really come to the point where we can't just laugh at a gay joke?
thepunman 11
No. Why should gays be made fun of? I bet they make straight jokes all the time.

Op was probably planking all over the house last year... And now this! His dad sounds like a trooper.
Furytalon 14
He has a point
eddeeezzyy 19
Yeah! Plus, at least it wasn't a Harlem Shake Poop video.
Zimmington 21
32- what's a Harlem Shake P.... Nvm don't want to know
eddeeezzyy 19
Go to HarlemShakePoop.com. I don't think very many people know about it.
southernbelle_rn 16
I should have known better. #75...I hate you. Alot.
MidnaLink 33
I'm NOT sorry. Dude, for a Harlem Shake video, you ******* deserve this!
wallandpiece 16
Why?
N3766 20
because f*ck you #46, that's why.
MidnaLink 33
46 cause those videos look so stupid. I'm no elitist, but personally, I'd be embarrased to speak to anyone I know who willingly participates in that crappy dance.
wallandpiece 16
But you can't just say someone deserves to be insulted for making a video, just because other people think it looks 'stupid'. You need to explain why it's stupid, or however you describe it. Most people seem to like them, which is why they became so popular.

Well, this escalated quickly

It's not stupid. It's dead.

How long ago was this? It couldn't be today.
graffitied_love 20
Exactly. The Harlem Shake has been "out" for a little while
Wizzlbang 10
It was never "in"
SerenaSerenadex3 13
Maybe he mistook it for the YES dance?

"But I do have a problem with anachronistic homosexuals, the Harlem Shake was so four months ago!"

YDI for making a Harlem Shake video

Oh boy. You have some explaining to do!
