When the video stops, four of the members entered the main lobby where the rest of the members were lying on the floor.

One of the dancers jokingly caressed a random guy’s face as he made his entrance. They tiptoed slowly as they crossed the casino floor, when the lying members suddenly moved. After that, the speakers played a short lullaby followed with a snoring sound.

After that, it’s time for them to wake up!

Soon enough, the speakers started pumping out “Uptown Funk,” the Bruno Mars hit featuring Mark Ronson. The masked men assemble and start to put on a show with their hilarious dance interpretation of the song.

Their dance has quirky and funny elements that never left the audience bored. When the lyrics get to the part where it says stop, everything froze—except for one dancer who continued to pull off some exaggerated dance moves. After a short pause, the music comes roaring back. Another dancer hilariously points him out as more lyrics play: “Julio, get the stretch!”

All the way up to the chorus, the group kept busting out incredible moves that left onlookers stunned.

Smoothly sliding and jiving on the dance floor, this group of masked men pulled off their flash mob in a very entertaining way.

Near the end of the video, one of the dancers busted a dance move from Drake’s “Hotline Bling” music video. The unmasked members then proceed to beat him up with pillows! After that, he still manages to escape from the fray, and the group ends their performance with a fun and quirky flourish.
