A lot of fun there. I liked when they did Cotton Eye Joe and put a cowboy hat on the dancer.

My vote is the Michael Jackson “Billie Jean” one. The moon walk fits perfectly. Not to mention, Michael had experience with setting himself on fire....

Once you pull the pin Mr. Hand Grenade is no longer your friend. A very basic lesson that needs to be taught to young people.

Now that was funny. I saw it on the news and actually laughed.

The guy was not too good at “stop, drop and roll.”

"I heard that he is still in the hospital with burns on his legs."

Are you just trying to make us feel good? I like the part where one of his bruhs is attempting to beat Burning Man to death with a shield. And with all those "press" and "medics" around.

Yes. Actually fanning the fire with a garbage lid shield. What morons.

You know what, my legs aren’t burned because I’m not an idiot protesting civil society.
