I can't even count the amount of WTFs here... is it the Grandma with the sunglasses on the side? is it the Obviously friendless brother that can wield a butterfly knife? is it the choreography?! It's amazing and WTF at the same time.
bravo for the find!

*Quality and strange!

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Sagemind.

My brain just can't parse this video - all these incongruous elements: Non-chalante entry of little brother; but then obviously choreographed sequence. Painting hung on the outside of their back door. Obvious planning of video and angle, but then they include grandma, dog, garbage, and mop in shot. Mix of stereotypical martial sequences and just kind of "high school dance bobbing". Lack of facial expressions. Mix of well-practiced and fairly inept moves with swords. Whole video.

Anyways, awesome find. But I have to stop watching or my brain is going to start leaking smoke.

Walks out, hands grandma a beer.... Grandma gladly takes it, but never drinks from it....

dude, she's holding it for him until he's done dancing with his sword-swinging sister while wielding a butterfly knife. get with the program.

Pets and blind senior citizens will not bode well in that household.

I think maybe this is genius.

Or maybe not, but that even makes it MORE genius.

Do my eyes deceive me? Could that possibly be a snoopy ice-cone machine I see?

Watch the guy open the sliding glass door. Why is it so windy in the house?

That's good stuff.

I think that might be my grandpa.

This is an independent nerdy film in the vein of Napoleon Dynamite waiting to happen. I already have back stories and a few scenes for every character in my head...it's amazing!

I'm sorry, I thought the title said "Epic Sword Dancing"... ?
Is there a sarcasm button for video titles?

I think my head just exploded.
What's with the stroke victim arm?
Utterly speechless and fantastically amused.

From Dangerous Minds:

This [clip, called "one minute and 23 seconds of some kind of weird bliss"] makes me ecstatic - the music, the sword moves and all the odd little details within the frame. I love the old lady sitting placidly like a Buddha, the plump little dog who couldn’t care less, the giant boom box, the way the boy casually hands off his beer to Buddha granny and gracefully slips into the girl’s vortex immediately getting into the groove, the thrift store art hanging on the door, the mop, bucket etc. It’s extraordinarily ordinary like some kind of super-realist painting set in motion. I don’t know, it’s just fucking inspired.The Tao flows through suburbia on Jian swords of bliss. Who are these people and how do I become one with them? I did not want this to end.

You will definitely start to smell viral. You get treated to a solo performance by little brother. Grandma is there as well with a beer. There is even a plastic bag (the same one I think) on the wall.

That thumbnail is perfect.

This feels like a viral for Napoleon Dynamite 2, if anything.

Agreed! I think that it is!

Rarely do I get to use this phrase, but I believe it is most appropriate here.

"What the shit fuck?"
