Okay, I know this was a year ago, but I've watched at least 30 reactions to this and I get so frustrated that people who claim to love and worship MJ don't get anything but the dudes doing the Thriller moves. Thank you. How no one picks up on dude sitting in a silver glove with a monkey, I don't know. And Billie Jean. That was so iconic. I haven't seen anyone catch on to that.

Just speculation on my part, but maybe they really are legit MJ fans who aren't lying about it, but whose fandom came primarily from just his music alone (records, radio, CDs, etc.), and not so much from his music videos, perhaps?

@@Britton_Thompson I think it was more of a wanting to do an homage to MJ in a way that would make sense to both die hard fans of Michael and just people who caught the highlights of his career. At least that's what I got out of the stuff from both the band and MJ that's on point. It's pretty obvious they were fanboying hard which is why this is so much fun.

The easter eggs I found in this: 2:09 The lean.. obviously from the original video to Smooth Criminal. Everyone got that one! 2:28 The girl in the wolf head? shout back to the wolf that Michael turned into from Thriller. 2:53 the guys in the chair? small reference to "King of the Hill", as already mentioned. 2:58 note the drummer. While drummers do tend to wear gloves to not get calluses on their hands, he's only wearing one, and on his right hand; the same hand Michael wore his glove on. 3:15 a given. Bubbles the chimp that he had during the Bad/Moonwalker days. 3:23 the sidewalk lights up when they step on it. The same thing that happened with Michael during the video for Billie Jean. 3:48 grabbing his junk and screaming and breaking the windows: shout back to the solo dance part from the extended video of Black or White. 3:54 the King of the Hill guys posing like they're dancing in Thriller. 3:58 That's from Michael throwing the block down on the manhole to make the steam come up, again from Black or White. 4:21 touching everything as it lights up. Again, throwback to Billie Jean when Michael was walking down that sidewalk. And that kid though! Note he was wearing a mask.. like how Michael would back then as well..
