I bet you can't watch this video without smiling (Gangnam Style)

I tried my best to resist posting this because I know a lot of people will view this as YouTube spam but holy fucking shit this is the catchiest, funniest music video I've heard/seen in ages and it simply has to be shared.

It's called Gangnam Style by PSY, apparently the dude is some South Korean hip-hop genius that had his first 2 albums banned for being unsuitable for younger audiences (the best way to get your music heard by young people) and now this song from his latest album has kinda blew up.

He directed the choreography, the video itself, did all the composition and lyrics and now I share his musical 'gift' with you.

After some further digging, there are rumors (aren't there always) about him possibly performing at a GSL event, with someone from what I assume is GOM TV asking on reddit if people would like to see him perform live.

I seriously hope this insane song becomes the anthem of e-sports or something. Forget Basshunter man!

Interested in seeing some reactions, hopefully this wont be locked!

I love the elevator part. When I seen this last night I laughed hard at that part.

It is fucking amazing, music is art.

This video/song is so dang addicting, ive listened to it at least once every day for the past week now (heard it on a TSM stream)

@RTSlord: I heard it yesterday and even now I just watched it 5 times in a row. I'll be devastated when this song isn't stuck in my head.

Easily my favorite song and music video of the year.

This is what the GSL does for us.

If a mod closes this they are a soulless fun hating monster. Also Korean girls are hot.

Another reason for me to move to South Korea!

I don't know what I just watched, but it did make me grin abit. So you won the challenge.

Wow, that is totally hypnotic. I can't stop watching this damn thing.

Any one know what he's saying?

So... beautiful...

WOW! I had no idea Norm from Tested was a rapper techno guy!

@SexyToad: Something about wanting a girl who isn't like one of the ones you find in Gangnam, which I guess is a place in Seoul where rich, young people go cause it's full of clubs and stuff. They filmed some of the new bourne movie there too apparently.

@Benny: Darn you beat me to it. I have been waiting for someone to make a youtube-spam thread for a while so I could have posted this. Still, clad this got posted anyway.

@Icemo: Same, I've been searching for something similar and couldn't leave it to chance!

When this song breaks down, then drops with 'oppa gangnam style' I just cackle with laughter. EYYYYYYYYYYY SEXY LAYYYDAAAAAAY.

It's pretty amazing. Saw it posted in a thread yesterday about Kreayshawn's new song.

I continue to love everything about this.

Isnt the girl Hyuna???

Saw this posted in another thread earlier today and was instantly mesmerized by it's greatness. 
This makes it seem like his live performances are appropriately weird, and he seems like a happy guy: 
  

There was already a lot of reactions in that Kreayshawn thread last night. This song is great. Not blowing my mind great, but great.

At first I thought he was talking about opening mechs.....

But nevertheless catchy.

@Little_Socrates: I searched a lot of relevant terms before posting it but didn't see it come up. Glad you like it.

Yep. Looks like her, anyway.

I would love to see him at the next GSL finals.

I get this weird Korean Jack Black vibe. Not necessarily from the music, but from his dancing and appearance mostly.

And I came in here trying not to smile, but I smiled.

i was so scared to click on it,but thank you thank you. whop whop

"The song is characterized by its strongly addictive beats and lyrics, and is thus certain to penetrate the foundations of modern philosophy." I fucking love the internet.

Definite Summer Jam.

I approve 100%.

This song just makes me say "Yes yes YES!"

I came here trying not to smile, but i fucking lost it at the elevator part. This is amazing.

@Benny: Haha.. pretty funny

There are a few cameos in this vid. Guy in yellow suit is Yoo Jae Suk, he's seriously the most famous, most loved man in all of Korea. He's known as the "Nation's MC". He's fucking awesome. Check out his show Running Man, best show on TV.

Guy on the elevator is Noh Hong Chul. He's also an MC. You can see him on the Infinity Challenge (although not many episodes are subbed) also with Yoo Jae Suk.

Then the girl on the train is Kim Hyuna of 4 Minute and also solo fame. She regarded by many to be the sexiest woman in Korea. I can't exactly argue with them.

Wut the fuck?

Yup. Elevator part made me burst out laughing. I want somebody to gif it.

Wow. Awesome

"The song is characterized by its strongly addictive beats and lyrics, and is thus certain to penetrate the foundations of modern philosophy."

Yeah, sounds about right.

catchy song with a crazy video and korean chicks...genius!

@PhatSeeJay: Genius.

i love when the fake snow is blowing at them, the girls are getting it in their face and laughing, he just doesn't give a fuck

Open condom star!

Anybody who can watch that without smiling is fucking dead inside.

Now someone needs to macro in "Shut up, boyee!", cause that totally looks like what he's saying.

I don't know, this just reminds me of Korean LMFAO, cant say I enjoyed it. And dude really needs to tie up his bow tie.

My girlfriend showed this to me last week so I guess I'm desensitized to it by now, but my first reaction last week was "What the fuck."
