This Robot Cannot Human

This Robot Cannot Human

This self-proclaimed “little nerd robot” sure can dance. Bryan CHIBI Gaynor’s moves are more machine than human. This Robot Cannot Human has a knack for choreographing robotic dance moves to unlikely songs like Alice in Chains’ Them Bones, Tool’s Schism, and Weezer’s Island in the Sun. Find more of this robot’s creative videos on YouTube.

(PG-13: Lyrics) Marquese Scott, BluPrint, iGlide, and AndreAndroiidRucker follow up their incredible dance video from 2012 with another sick set of robotic and slow-motion maneuvers. We want to see these guys in a dance-off with World Order.
