If you’re hunting for funny music videos to watch on YouTube, this one should shoot straight to the top of your list! Chilean DJ and production duo Aerobica serves up housey beats and belly laughs in equal measure!
Their newest track, “Papi,” is the standout release from their EP, ‘Work Me,’ which is being dropped on Chloé Caillet’s SMIILE label.
Teddy Bears Gone Wild
The music video for “Papi” is where things get seriously hilarious. Nico Castro and Pepo Fernandez are shown struggling through their day jobs as company mascots, and not just any mascots, but full-on teddy bears!
Moreover, the whole gig isn’t working out for them, but their comedic misfortune makes for an amusing addition to the funny music videos to watch on YouTube.
Just when you think these visuals can’t get any better, a fabulous crew of drag artists decide these struggling teddy bears need a serious intervention. Their solution? Voguing dance classes, of course!
From Mascots to Voguing Virtuosos
The transition from bumbling mascots to dance students creates some of the funniest moments in the whole clip. Watching these DJs shed their fuzzy personas and embrace the art of voguing creates a hilarious transformation.
What’s more, the House beat of “Papi” provides the perfect soundtrack for this unexpected dance journey.
The climax of the video delivers an unexpectedly awesome synchronized dance routine that shows just how far Aerobica has come. But what makes this even more special is how they incorporated clips of their actual fans performing the same choreography.
What’s Voguing Anyway?
For those who don’t know, voguing is a highly stylized modern dance form that originated in the Harlem ballroom scene of the 1980s. It’s characterized by model-like poses, angular arm and leg movements, and dramatic freezes that mimic fashion magazine poses.
The dance style gained mainstream popularity through Madonna’s “Vogue” but has deep roots in LGBTQ+ Black and Latino communities.
Voguing continues to evolve today, making Aerobica’s incorporation of this expressive dance style into their funny teddy bear venture both culturally relevant and entertainingly unexpected.
