Gary Brolsma is the famous Numa Numa Dancer. In 2005, the then 19-year-old became an overnight lip-syncing sensation after his hilariously heart-felt and arm-waving rendition of “Dragostea Din Tei” by the Romanian band “O-Zone” from his bedroom in North Jersey. Millions around the world saw his performance on the Internet. It was such a catchy performance that he was interviewed on national news shows before he retreated from all the attention and disappeared from the limelight.

The Subservient Chicken is a man dressed in a chicken outfit. Type in any command, and the chicken will do it. And I mean any command. He can do, or at least will attempt to do, hundreds of tasks. Juggle? Do the riverdance? Fly? Walk on his hands? Do a cartwheel? Get angry?  Bow? Pray? No problem! He will try these and more. (Courtesy of  Amy Welborn's blog)
