Has nobody noticed that the camera phone seems to be on a tripod or such?

I would love to be able to take quality footage like that standing still - let alone on a tube train....

Image stabilisation?

Where is our british sense of taking the mickey gone? This video was a laugh..the dancer was about to exit..he was pushed off and laughed at by the whole carriage. Thats all! It does look like a pre planned practical joke though.

packed ? Seriously ?

That's what I thought, they should try the central line between Liverpool St and Oxford Circus on a weekday morning.

That's why they pack you in so tight; not only can you pinch bums with impunity, but it also stops people from cavorting like this. Win win.

Probably a fake but pretty funny.

Pilled-up aholes can seem intimidating to other passengers, particularly the elderly if they don't know what's going on. Would there have been as much sympathy for a lairy pisshead?

All in all another good advert for staying as far away as possible from public transport.

Any guy dancing on a packed train is an unknown quantity. Probably a crackhead.

I probably wouldnt be the one to push him off, in fact id stand as far away from him as possible, but i certainly wouldnt complain if someone did decide to remove him.

That's a little bit scaredy Daily Mail though.

Crackheads don't disco.

Wallys like this bloke are ten a penny on the tube and highly entertaining. They are in their own little world and doing no harm. This mug certainly wasn't in anyone's way. The chap who pushed him off was just immature. We should have grown out of things like that once we left school. But, it was Essex so you can't expect too much.

Generally, my rule for chucking people off the tube fits into 3 basic areas: If someone has their knob out, if someone is trying to fiddle with my knob or if someone is menacing/bullying someone.

I suspect that over the years I've thrown a good few people off the tube late at night for just being out of control and threatening. It's a last resort when you feel that changing carriage is not the responsible course of action.

Looked like a setup to me.

It certainly looked like the bloke who shoved him was travelling with the guys filming.

Fake.

Camera held steady up against glass. Pretty obvious.

Looks to be a friend of a friend of mine on FB - no chat of it being staged.

Can you confirm whether said individual is in the habit of riding public transport in a chemically enhanced state?

He can dance if he wants to... He can leave his friends behind. Because his friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine.

What say?

Anyway the push wasn't very safety conscious!

If you say so - haven't seen the vid so was just guessing.

No idea but probably just a bit pissed and a little 'alternative' in nature anyway.

Basically , he was dancing when he was eight, is it strange to dance so late, he danced myself into the tube, is it strange to dance so soon, he danced myself into the tube.

And the sandwich guy was saying I don’t feel like dancing, No sir, no dancing today.

Do you know of a more sensible way to travel on the tube?

Clearly as a connoisseur, you can explain just how, when you are without hats you could possibly dress real neat from your hat to your feet?

This has troubled me for nearly 20 years.
