That Cringey Viral Dance Video For Michael Bloomberg's Campaign Was Actually Just Part Of A Comedy Show

That Cringey Viral Dance Video For Michael Bloomberg's Campaign Was Actually Just Part Of A Comedy Show

Supporters of Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg unveiled a dance routine online recently.

Not to be outdone, supporters of another Democratic nominee, billionaire Mike Bloomberg did the same.

Or so people thought.


That now viral video of people doing a (badly) choreographed dance to Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" while holding "Mike Bloomberg 2020" signs wasn't from a campaign event.

It's pure parody folks.

Now WHAT could they possibly be making fun of?

Oh, yeah. That.

The Bloomberg video was shared on Twitter by Nick Ciarelli. He claimed to be a campaign intern.

Here's the latest awkward dance craze (not really, please don't try this at home or anywhere else).


The Bloomberg campaign begged to differ on Ciarelli's credentials.

Campaign spokesperson Julie Wood stated:

"Nick is not associated with the campaign."

But they'd welcome him aboard according to their Twitter post.

Ciarelli is a comedian with the improv group Upright Citizens Brigade. Per their website, he and his writing partner Brad Evans host a monthly sketch comedy show which was the scene of the choreography crime featured in the supposed Bloomberg video.

The duo kept the joke going for some time on Twitter posing as a fired unpaid intern and a social media manager for Bloomberg.

Ciarelli told BuzzFeed News the video was filmed in Atlantic City and confirmed no one involved with the video is affiliated with the Bloomberg campaign.

"We are not associated with the Bloomberg campaign, we just volunteered our time to make his campaign a viral dance that they didn't seem to appreciate."

Considering the Buttigieg dance, people fell for the parody hook, line and sinker.





Sorry, folks. If you're looking for awkward official campaign dance moves, you'll have to wait.

Hopefully for a really long time.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
