Do u even realize how much of a legend the person in the coffin is.

[doritosboi]

It’s weird seeing them do this without the Astronomia music playing

[peaks]

the person in the coffin has no idea how famous they are

[gopalpoudel]

Imagine, u r on hospital bed and these people are standing at the door.

[muhammadfarid]

The only difference here is, they're not playing astronomia as the music...

[fullydusk]

The real legends here are the people who wrote comments 2 years ago

[saminajim]

The YouTube algorithm has a funny sense of humor recommending this

[simiankleurde]

I hope that these guys' business goes international after lockdown.

[Jaworth]

Imagine the body bouncing around the coffin just vibing

[TheDepressedMemeCat]

When you're trying to rest in peace but your friends won't let you

[asianpower]

A person has died but a meme was born.

[fishyeah]

Teacher: what do you want to be when you grow up?

Me: *C O F F I N D A N C E R*

[albanwang]

Everyone else: carrying the dead


These guys: carrying the future

[eagleelites]

Editor in 2017: what kind of news is this? You’re fired!
Ex-reporter in 2020: I want my job back!

[Tay]

2017: what the?

2020: *became the most famous meme on 2020*

[needsomebunny]

This is actually brilliant. Emotion is just energy. They are processing their grief in a positive way and celebrating the life that was lived vs the life that was lost. I love it

[kayharukawa]

“so who would want a funeral like this”

literally every cultured person on this planet

[DRGIZMO]

Everybody's gangsta until the coffin slipped out from the dancer's shoulder

[msterrr]

It’s funny how this is 3 years old and it turned into a meme when we have a global pandemic.

Stay at home or dance with them

[AWholeLottaLola]

_it’s a shame the person in the coffin couldn’t know how lovely their funeral was._
