The setup

The Lonely Island turns a deliberately awkward dance into a confident hip-hop routine, with Nicki Minaj joining the spectacle and John Waters introducing it.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

John Waters introduces a dance built around rigid arms, bent knees and unsettling smiles. In matching suits and glasses, the Lonely Island trio promotes it through a polished hip-hop video while acting out increasingly intrusive situations. Their awkward choreography travels from the dance floor to an ATM, a beach and a maternity ward. Nicki Minaj adds a verse about her own obsessive behavior, and the routine escalates to a coffin-side encounter before Waters returns for the closing instruction.
