Funny Music Video: Prison Thriller

This is a very popular funny music video originally made in the Philippines. It is very weird seeing these inmates at the very start walking as if they were zombies of some kind. Are they possessed or something? Yet at the same time you also hear the number 1 Michael Jackson hit “Thriller” being played. How was this even possible? With all those prisoners, it is almost unimaginable how someone, maybe the warden, got all of their shoes together to participate in this extraordinary activity.

It is an unbelievable feat on how all these people gathered, not forgetting to mention that they are all prisoners. I guess we can’t underestimate these people nowadays. We often thought of them as laden individuals with a typical laidback lifestyle. Although with some internal disputes happen inside the cells sometimes, still it is very amazing how many of them cooperated just to dance to the beat of this music video. It is very funny seeing these individuals do moves simultaneously. The choreography was indeed great overall. Did they even use prosthetics because I think they did? They were wearing their traditional orange uniforms and the overall effect is spectacular. Like one of those “great” Jackson videos, this one also highlights formations and arrangements at a very big scale. There were really a huge number of prisoners who joined the dance maybe reaching over a thousand. The overall impact is simply one of a kind. I’m pretty sure that after watching this clip, you will have another perspective about our dear inmates.

Other sources claim that this video even made it to the top ten of Time Magazine’s 2007 most popular videos registering more than 16 million YouTube hits to date. Now I think that’ really something.
