OkaySport: Evolution of End Zone Dancing w/ Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake & The Roots

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

For those of you who aren't very football inclined (no friends of mine), let me bring you up to speed real quick. A few years back, a football fan by he name of Judson Laipply put out a very popular youtube video showing the "Evolution of the Touchdown Dance." He pretty much started from the top and went through every popular endzone celebration throughout the decades of the NFL's existence, from Billy White Shoes' 'Funky Chicken' to The Dirty Bird, to The Ickey Shuffle, to The Mile High Salute, to all of T.O.'s antics, and everything inbetween. Taking it back to the current, the other night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy, Justin Timberlake, and The Roots took a shot at Judson's video, and of course added their own spin to it. The same basic concept, but adding some more updated (and hilarious) additions like the "Taking A Selfie," and the "I Thought I Just Saw Aaron Hernandez." You already know hilarity ensues every time Justin and Jimmy do a skit, watch it all, below. Sadly, with all these new rules in place, we don't get these types of touchdown celebrations in real life anymore, but let's all just be happy football season is back.
