The Office Christmas Flash Mob

Many Reputations Were Hurt During the Making of This Flash Mob

I found this video the other day and it made me remember why I LOVE Christmas. One year ago, our CEO gave us $100.00 to help someone in need. For some reason, a few of us thought that the best gift we could possibly give to the world would be…..(drum roll please)… a FLASH MOB where we showered starving college students with DOLLA BILLS.

For the next week we sacrificed most of our lunch breaks and all of our pride to come up with the perfect dance routine to the N’SYNC classic “Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.” Yes… this really happened.

As you could have already imagined, our flash mob was an absolute fail. Due to some last minute drop-outs, a boom box malfunction, and choreography confusion it didn’t exactly look as planned. As one YouTube commenter put it, “MORMONS ARE AKWARD AS $%#@….unless they are on meth which is likely.”

Even though it tanked, I loved it. It’s nice to know that someone has your back even if it means doing a shimmy in front of an sea of blank faces. Public humiliation does more company bonding than any trust fall exercise I have ever seen. Looking back, I wish someone would have told me I dance like a SIMS character but otherwise I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Giving is always better than receiving especially if you have someone else to do it with in an anything-but-epic way. Merry Christmas ONO.

Oh What? So You Think You Want To Learn the Dance?

Yep, we made tutorials on YouTube in hopes that other people would be inspired to join the BYU Library Flash Mob. Since these were never put to full use, feel free to click on the links below to learn our dance routine to N’SYNC.

Merry Christmas from ONO!
