Senior Citizen Flash Mob Might Be The Cutest Thing You See All Day

VIDEO
» 20 comments

This is where the flash mob phenomenon should rightfully end — with a group of cute and cuddly senior citizens from a local retirement home in Lawrence, Kansas, dancing to Glee’s version of “Last Christmas” in Target. How this video has 61 “dislikes” on YouTube is befuddling; there’s literally nothing not to like about it (unless we find out in a week that it’s just a viral campaign for Target).

For now, though, throw all pessimism aside, click below, let your heart grow three times its size, and enjoy what might arguably be the cutest flash mob you will ever see. And then go call your grandmother and weepily wish her a Merry Christmas:

    Did they then storm down the street, pulling young people out of their cars to beat them?

    Ouch. I hope I never get to be that unhip. The only thing hip about that was their replacement sockets. Why is every asinine thing codgers do supposed to be adorable? Is that because they’re like toddlers and the mentally challenged, and any activity is so unexpected and brilliant that we’re supposed to marvel? If they’d had something cool to dance to and pulled off an actual flash mob that didn’t stand around telegraphing itself for twenty minutes with a guy setting up a huge camcorder, now, there you would have a codger coup. Put a couple of hundred doddering old bats to work infiltrating a Walmart and then busting into a sudden dance frenzy over “Can’t Touch This” and you’d have something to be proud of. And don’t have the music therapist from the nursing home applaud them like little children, pat them on the head and tell them how cool they are afterward. Have a denture cream-stealing, clerk-spanking, support-hose-swiping riot on the way out of the store. It’s condescending and offensive to future codgers like me to take these deluded old farts out in public and make them think they actually amount to something. Merry Christmas. Try again. Bah Humbug.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.  It’s a wonder your own mother likes you.  Oh, she doesn’t?  Figures.

    It’s nice seeing seniors using the internet for good instead of trolling political cites spreading out dated hate and racism while wrapped in the flag.

    Oh no it’s the evil old White people all the left wing Mediaite commenters keep talking about!

    Unfortunately my mother is doing time in the criminal ward of the local mental hospital on a mandatory 30-day psych-eval for assaulting a music therapist with a shopping cart.
