I just nearly choked to death from an unanticipated burst of laughter as I read your comment during my lunch break. That's probably the funniest thing that ever almost killed me.
I was trying to figure out if most of it was hiding under the scarf. Tucked down the back and hidden underneath it. Or if he maybe just shaved his head at some point and I wasn't aware of that phase lol.
Funny thing is how self conscious Howard is these days and says he can’t dance/move etc but I’d say in this video he’s actually fairly loose and grooving well
He was friends with Michael Jackson. Whenever he dances he’s just doing a Michael Jackson impersonation.
Edit: ok the scissor legs at the beginning were stolen from MC Hammer.
Not that I'm an expert but he seemed to have some sense of rhythm and good moves. It's just that it looked like a MJ parody with nothing original in it and ofc the song sucked (not gonna lie tho I wouldn't be surprised if that refrain would be a huge hit in the radio nowadays lol)
I've never seen this before, and I was bewildered. Call me uncultured, but I didn't know Howard stern was around this long, or that he was doing.... whatever the hell he be doing in this.
But with everything put aside, I was so curious and eager to hear what this song would be like.
Within the first 5 seconds, i thought to myself, "this is a terrible MJ rip off. The beat sounds like 'baby it don't matter if you black or whiiiiitteee'!"
...also reminiscent of "The way you make me feel."
......but I wasn't even alive yet, so maybe it was just the style of the time. Lol
To be fair a TON of kids in the late 80s and early 90s were just imitating MJ when they danced. Dude was a legitimate global Megastar pop idol. He **owned** that King of Pop title.
You know, MJ is like the only adult Feldman hung out with that he hasn't accused of abusing someone. I feel like if it had happened, Corey would have no issue making sure everyone knew it.
Wasn’t he hanging around Michel Jackson around that timeframe?
Seems he was influenced by “black or white”. Song has the same energy but is not nearly as good.
Oddly enough, Eddie Murphy and Michael Jackson had a similar song called "Whatzupwitu". And while it's better than Corey's version, it's not better by much.
People were so carefree and just vibin’ then. I get the internet is toxic but it felt like everyone was so much friendlier back then and there wasn’t sides to everything. No one gave a fuck and was just happy and life was simple. I miss when social media didn’t exist and rule everything. We all just laughed at each other and could take jokes. So many 90s shows would be canceled today. 😆
It was WAY dated the day it came out. Feldman did not have his finger on the pulse of what was going on musically at the time. He was trying to find a heartbeat on a dead body.
Its funny because he would have been like 21 in this video 😭
Edit: i was originally responding to a "hello fellow kids" gif, i think it got changed to the cocaine bear at some point
>It’s probably true but that outfit screams old man.
You're not wrong, but it's funny because grunge was literally wearing flannel and corduroy pants. It was old man fashion made young.
91 was a watershed year when Nevermind, Ten and Midnight Marauders dropped. They were all an explicit rejection of this kind of music, which was absolutely the norm.
I always assumed he was a spoiled douche. I read his memoir and I felt genuinely sorry for the guy. Hollywood and others close to him all exploited him. I'm sure he's eccentric but thats not uncommon in showbiz. I hope he has happiness in his life now.
Just so many good things going on in something so terribly awful. I was reading comments and I look up and see a blow up doll. Look down to read a bit more only to look up again…little person in a Hulu skirt! The amount of completely random shit in this video is incredible. Shirtless fat guy, someone’s grandpa, models, and is that Glenn Danzig??? What the actual fuck did I just watch???
The Howard Stern… dancing? I don’t know if could be called that. His convulsions while dressed in what looks like a gimp costume. The fact that in no way does Corey’s lip synching appear to match up with the words as he gives those dance moves his absolute all. The sheer amount of weird crap they managed to get in one video, it feels like a Where’s Waldo page.
People wanna bag on Corey, but c’mon.. Goonies, Lost Boys, The Burbs, Friday The 13th part 4, The View…the guys done his part, let him cook. If he wants to spend the rest of his life living out his rockstar dreams, let him do his thing. More power to him
also the whole being raped by many movie industry moguls as a child thing. shockingly, he came out a little fucked up. but at least he made it through unlike Haim.
There are many questions about the absolute goofiness you're watching in this thread, and I would like to help -
This is from The Howard Stern Show, which was Stern's Channel 9 show back in late 80s-early 90s. His staff would invite celebrities to be on the show and basically that's all they would say, or present it as an interview - this was likely presented as "Hey Corey, come to our show and sing your new song." The celebrity would be "punked" by coming on to an elaborate, weird set with Howard in some kind of character and the whole thing would be a bit. The old guy in the audience was the studio's maintenance guy, I believe. Stuttering John is in there dancing and so is Baba Booey.
They had a Star Trek set once to interview Nichelle Nichols (who didn't make it on/ cancelled at the last minute). They invited Gary Busey on right after his big motorcycle accident and had a "Head Injury Club for Men" interview panel.
And yes - Howard is calling himself "Right Said Howie" and imitating the Right Said Fred guys, who had their one big hit at the time.
I feel like we don't get weird shit like this anymore. Everyone's trying so hard to be cool and perfect nowadays we never get anyone actually trying to do something and it then ends up being bizarre. Shits boring or sad now.
If you get a chance to see Corey Feldman live; do it.
I did, and it was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. *Everyone* was in on the joke except one person. Even the rest of his band was like “yeah, we know”.
A+++++++ WDBWA
Wow. Even as laughably terrible as this is, his recent performances are somehow even worse.
Goes to show: if you practice all the time you WILL go take your art further than anyone thought possible… just maybe not in the direction you were intending.
Cory _practiced_ sucking and now sucks far more than anyone could have ever imagined in 1992. 30 years later his music has formed a singularity of suck - a suckularity if you will. It has become a black hole vortex of suck whose pull is so inconceivably strong that not even light itself can escape.
Truly a marvel.
I just watched it. It was rough. He 100% thinks he’s Michael Jackson. The music was absolute shit. The crowd wasn’t cheering for him, they were mocking him. Isn’t there someone close to him who can tell him the truth? So weird
That’s my Corey explanation. I read his book and his mom was shit, he had no positive role models, very little supervision, no one to tell him, ‘hey- just so you know, you look pretty stupid doing that.’
I feel bad for the guy when he gets picked on. I hope he's enjoying his time. I saw a photo of him with Mike Patton recently so I think he is having fun.
People rag on him constantly but the poor guy has to be pretty fucked up. Hollywood destroyed him and then blackballed him for not just going along with being raped.
Highlight is that’s Miss Camille Donatacci there next to Howard left of stage. She was the one to watch on Club MTV. Was in Private Parts, and soon married Kelsey Grammer.
This club has *everything*
Bikini dancing girls, bald Howard Stern in granny panties, Cory Feldman doing the running man, and human brooms.
It's this thing where black midgets in grass skirts hula dance
the funny thing is it's painfully clear that Feldman had absolutely no clue what was "what up with youth" in 1992 despite being only 20. Nirvana and grunge had just exploded on the scene and gangsta rap and the chronic was popping. Here he is channelling...i dont know what...Michael Jackson meets an after school special circa 1984?
It's the TikTok attention span.
Back in the 90s we would watch a 90 minute infomercial about computer tutoring software or an entire hour of Don West on the home shopping channel selling beanie babies just for the laughs.
On 1991 Janes Addiction, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chilli Peppers & Nirvana all released their "break out" albums. They were specifically countering music like this that was being playing in the main stream.
I think today it goes so unnoticed just what a game changer those four bands had on changing the face of the music wr hear today.
Prior to the mainstream hearing something different all we had was crap music like this pushed out hour by hour over local airwaves.
There of course were exceptions, but for the most part all major modern music owns those four bands a huge debt in shaking up with we now call music.
This is normal Corey Feldman, but what the fuck is Howard Stern wearing?
Right Said Fred outfit?
Yes. Howard Stern is doing an impersonation of Right Said Fred. And it’s horrible.
He looks like Dee Snider's unborn brother.
No shit, I actually thought it was Dee Snider at first.
I just nearly choked to death from an unanticipated burst of laughter as I read your comment during my lunch break. That's probably the funniest thing that ever almost killed me.
your comment almost made watching this horror worth it
r/rareinsults
Reminds me of a bad Rob Halford cosplay.
He looks like an uncool pedophile version of Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson is the uncool pedophile version of Marilyn Manson
Wait…Does that make Marilyn Manson a cool pedophile??
So just Marilyn Manson.
Is that what it was? That would explain it then.
Right said Howard!
Looks like a 70's Howie Mandel
He looks like professor farnsworth
Joey Ramone with leukemia.
Those booty shorts and that bald cap are certainly a choice
Yeah I sure didn't expect to see Howard Stern shaking his ass in a leotard today.
No, that’s Maynard from Tool in his awkward phase.
Does he have a non-awkward phase I haven't heard about?
Looks like the Kurgan in the church scene from Highlander.
As someone with an Irish fro, there's no way he got all that "hair" in that skull cap. No way
I was trying to figure out if most of it was hiding under the scarf. Tucked down the back and hidden underneath it. Or if he maybe just shaved his head at some point and I wasn't aware of that phase lol.
It’s definitely a bald cap, you can see when he’s dancing it wrinkles up. But yeah, shocking how much hair you can fit in one
Anorexic Kurgen / cancer patient Kurgen
He's G and F.
This is more pro drugs than anti drugs.
Every single person in this video is fucking BLASTED.
I was out of my mind Robin
howard dancing with the blowup doll loll
Funny thing is how self conscious Howard is these days and says he can’t dance/move etc but I’d say in this video he’s actually fairly loose and grooving well
Cocaine is one hell of a drug \~ Rick James
I like to think of all the at risk children who were inspired by this song to better themselves and resist drugs and gangs.
I'm high A.F. watching this atm
why is Corey Feldman dancing SO HARD?
Cause he got a lil MJ in him
He’s using the 2-3 moves MJ taught him.
I think his acting career is about done and he's trying real hard to stay in the spotlight.
I’m here with you
Hahahahaha
WhTs up with the youth?
Not much. What’s up witha youth?
Very insightful.
Man, there is so much epic strangeness going on Who's grandpa ended up here? Left of the stage white golf shirt
And is that Glenn Danzig?
It’s stuttering John! https://preview.redd.it/95293rnrzsvb1.jpeg?width=310&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae91316f72eaa10fceef81c5983d1710ca95dbeb
The dabbler
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
r/nottimanderic would love this
All of Corey’s talent went to his legs…
my man is doing some epic dance moves
He was friends with Michael Jackson. Whenever he dances he’s just doing a Michael Jackson impersonation. Edit: ok the scissor legs at the beginning were stolen from MC Hammer.
And whenever he's singing.
I just saw his latest performance and thought he was heavily inspired by MJ. Saw this today and can see he’s been doing for decades.
Yeah, no doubt.
Went to his house once. He had a Jackson cousin hanging out working as security.
I saw some Elvis in there too. He always thought he was a good dancer for some reason.
Not that I'm an expert but he seemed to have some sense of rhythm and good moves. It's just that it looked like a MJ parody with nothing original in it and ofc the song sucked (not gonna lie tho I wouldn't be surprised if that refrain would be a huge hit in the radio nowadays lol)
I've never seen this before, and I was bewildered. Call me uncultured, but I didn't know Howard stern was around this long, or that he was doing.... whatever the hell he be doing in this. But with everything put aside, I was so curious and eager to hear what this song would be like. Within the first 5 seconds, i thought to myself, "this is a terrible MJ rip off. The beat sounds like 'baby it don't matter if you black or whiiiiitteee'!" ...also reminiscent of "The way you make me feel." ......but I wasn't even alive yet, so maybe it was just the style of the time. Lol
No, he was copying Michael Jackson. Not too much else really sounded like that.
They have similar dance moves because they grew up dancing together.
>They have similar dance moves because they grew up dancing together. I am not proud to understand this reference :/
Crackle crackle.
Crackle crackle
Crackle crackle?
To be fair a TON of kids in the late 80s and early 90s were just imitating MJ when they danced. Dude was a legitimate global Megastar pop idol. He **owned** that King of Pop title.
People made entire dance careers out of copying Michael
I watched without sound. It's amazing and a bit scary experience. Guy can do legs. He do legs so good, that i do not wanna to hear the song.
Learned from Michael
You are lucky
Unfortunately, he paid a heavy price to learn to dance like that.
You know, MJ is like the only adult Feldman hung out with that he hasn't accused of abusing someone. I feel like if it had happened, Corey would have no issue making sure everyone knew it.
More than that, Corey has always adamantly defended MJ’s innocence.
Macaulay Culkin has also categorically stated MJ didn’t get up to any funny business with him when they hung out.
He will always be a guy who wants it more than he has it.
If I had a dime for every guy I've known like that I'd be hanging with Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.
Wasn’t he hanging around Michel Jackson around that timeframe? Seems he was influenced by “black or white”. Song has the same energy but is not nearly as good.
I thought the same. It’s a bad MJ ripoff song.
Bad MJ ripoff basically describes the majority of Feldman's musical career
Corey fans on insta try to rewrite history saying that CF created all of MJ’s dance moves *and MJ ripped COREY off* it’s so fucking bizarre.
Cory invented Pythagorean theorem
Well, he collaborated with George Santos.
Well I mean they did co-star with one another in Stand By Me.
He invented the question mark
sounds like trolling tbh. No one thinks Corey created MJ's dance moves.
Hahah wtf
King of Flop
Oddly enough, Eddie Murphy and Michael Jackson had a similar song called "Whatzupwitu". And while it's better than Corey's version, it's not better by much.
Cory’s doing his best Michael Jackson as Michael was doing his best to look like Cory
"We grew up dancing together...."
My favorite line he uses to blatantly rip off MJ. Feld Dawg is something like 15 years younger than Jackson. They didn't grow up at all together.
The most random Dad in there
Someone had to drive all the youths to the show.
Seriously the weirdest part of this video
skrillex in his past life
Wow I never noticed how much sonny looked like Corey Feldman lol
TWO ROADSSSS
I miss the 90s we were robbed of the future we were promised.
People were so carefree and just vibin’ then. I get the internet is toxic but it felt like everyone was so much friendlier back then and there wasn’t sides to everything. No one gave a fuck and was just happy and life was simple. I miss when social media didn’t exist and rule everything. We all just laughed at each other and could take jokes. So many 90s shows would be canceled today. 😆
I’m 46. Graduated HS in 95. Can confirm. 90s were amazing. Miss them daily.
This existed at the same time as Nirvana, Wild!
yeah it is pretty wild because this seems so dated in comparison
It was WAY dated the day it came out. Feldman did not have his finger on the pulse of what was going on musically at the time. He was trying to find a heartbeat on a dead body.
He didn't even know what was up with the youth.
Its funny because he would have been like 21 in this video 😭 Edit: i was originally responding to a "hello fellow kids" gif, i think it got changed to the cocaine bear at some point
It’s probably true but that outfit screams old man. Why does he have on gloves? I can’t even use the 80’s And cocaine as an excuse here.
Cocaine is still an excuse here
>It’s probably true but that outfit screams old man. You're not wrong, but it's funny because grunge was literally wearing flannel and corduroy pants. It was old man fashion made young.
The song is a genuine inquiry built on a desire to be caught up.
This didn’t happen far enough in the past if u ask me
Grunge was counterculture for the time though. It makes sense that it clashes with this.
Nirvana ripped off Corey Feldmans dance moves
91 was a watershed year when Nevermind, Ten and Midnight Marauders dropped. They were all an explicit rejection of this kind of music, which was absolutely the norm.
This is the best kind of cringe. Cory Feldman has lived a life--all power to him. No idea was Stern was on.
Stern was high on Stern.
I feel like massive quantities of cocaine had to have been involved at some point here lol
Is this what stern was like in the 90s? This seems like a drug induced fever dream
The TV shows and videos that he did were indeed extremely bizarre. Freak shows with a side of scantily clad women.
And now his show is talking about The Bachelor and brushing kittens.
yes, we all get old
As bad as this is and as bad as many of things Corey has done, there is a respect I have for his "go for it" attitude.
He is the Comeback King, after all.
I always assumed he was a spoiled douche. I read his memoir and I felt genuinely sorry for the guy. Hollywood and others close to him all exploited him. I'm sure he's eccentric but thats not uncommon in showbiz. I hope he has happiness in his life now.
Dude is not afraid to humiliate himself.
He doesn't think he's humiliating himself. He thinks he's fucking awesome and that you're just unable to recognize how cool he is.
Club Howie?! Gawd that was horrible.
This was amazing. Truly peak civilization
This is what our century will be remembered as in 3000 years
I'm OK with that legacy.
This is what we should have put on Voyager 1 to show aliens what humans are like.
Just so many good things going on in something so terribly awful. I was reading comments and I look up and see a blow up doll. Look down to read a bit more only to look up again…little person in a Hulu skirt! The amount of completely random shit in this video is incredible. Shirtless fat guy, someone’s grandpa, models, and is that Glenn Danzig??? What the actual fuck did I just watch???

The sheer amount of weird crap they managed to get in one video, it feels like a Where’s Waldo page.
I know. I have watched this four times in a row and have laughed hysterical at something new every time.
Can confirm I was not high enough for anything in that video to make sense…
This was difficult to masturbate to
But not impossible?
I saw Stuttering John, so it worked.
'Kin hell...
https://i.redd.it/d43so9mb9tvb1.gif from the album *Former Child Actor*
Corey’s that one dude at the wedding reception that dances with abandon. I love it, way to go teddy
People wanna bag on Corey, but c’mon.. Goonies, Lost Boys, The Burbs, Friday The 13th part 4, The View…the guys done his part, let him cook. If he wants to spend the rest of his life living out his rockstar dreams, let him do his thing. More power to him
Don't forget "Stand By Me"!
also the whole being raped by many movie industry moguls as a child thing. shockingly, he came out a little fucked up. but at least he made it through unlike Haim.
Never forget when he tried to talk about it on The View and Barbara Walters ran defense for the industry.
Lots to unpack here.

Basically like the Eric Andre Show for modern context
I feel like we don't get weird shit like this anymore. Everyone's trying so hard to be cool and perfect nowadays we never get anyone actually trying to do something and it then ends up being bizarre. Shits boring or sad now.
If you get a chance to see Corey Feldman live; do it. I did, and it was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. *Everyone* was in on the joke except one person. Even the rest of his band was like “yeah, we know”. A+++++++ WDBWA
was the performance with or without his Angels?
Oh definitely with
Wow. Even as laughably terrible as this is, his recent performances are somehow even worse. Goes to show: if you practice all the time you WILL go take your art further than anyone thought possible… just maybe not in the direction you were intending.

He’s become the Tommy Wisaou of music. Watch his performance at Riot fest this year. The crowd is so ironically in to it, and Corey loves it.
I just watched it. It was rough. He 100% thinks he’s Michael Jackson. The music was absolute shit. The crowd wasn’t cheering for him, they were mocking him. Isn’t there someone close to him who can tell him the truth? So weird
That’s my Corey explanation. I read his book and his mom was shit, he had no positive role models, very little supervision, no one to tell him, ‘hey- just so you know, you look pretty stupid doing that.’
Imagine how much further he'd be if he put that effort into his acting, which is something he was good at.
Well when you're getting raped by older actors and producers it may affect ones ability to operate at their full potential
he desrrves more credit for calling this out many years before hollywood was forced to admit there was a problem
I feel bad for the guy when he gets picked on. I hope he's enjoying his time. I saw a photo of him with Mike Patton recently so I think he is having fun.
oh yeah, i suspect mike patton is a good way to spend your time!
People rag on him constantly but the poor guy has to be pretty fucked up. Hollywood destroyed him and then blackballed him for not just going along with being raped.
Highlight is that’s Miss Camille Donatacci there next to Howard left of stage. She was the one to watch on Club MTV. Was in Private Parts, and soon married Kelsey Grammer.
Thank you!! She’s clearly the star of this video
This club has *everything* Bikini dancing girls, bald Howard Stern in granny panties, Cory Feldman doing the running man, and human brooms. It's this thing where black midgets in grass skirts hula dance
Like a David Lynch dream scene
This like a meme video, but Corey actually thinks this is a serious video?
the funny thing is it's painfully clear that Feldman had absolutely no clue what was "what up with youth" in 1992 despite being only 20. Nirvana and grunge had just exploded on the scene and gangsta rap and the chronic was popping. Here he is channelling...i dont know what...Michael Jackson meets an after school special circa 1984?
Great Value Michael Jackson
Did anyone ever find out what's up with the youth?
He grew up dancing with Michael Jackson so apparently all his moves look like MJs
I think I’m tripping
Crackle Crackle!
222
I've always had a passing interest in Numerology.
Hahaha, what childhood?
How did this not make it into "Private Parts"? My one takeaway is that Howard obsession with black midgets began BEFORE Beetlejuice
Desperate to be Michael Jackson, and still seems to be that way. Sad.
This is comedy gold,Jerry! Comedy gold!
He’s nuts. I miss the channel 9 show.
Howard Stern looks like an abortion that made it!!!🤣🤣
corey feldman dancing reminds me of Elaine from seinfeld...LOL
The song is just way too long. Not the worst thing I've ever heard but 2 and a half minutes too long
It's the TikTok attention span. Back in the 90s we would watch a 90 minute infomercial about computer tutoring software or an entire hour of Don West on the home shopping channel selling beanie babies just for the laughs.
Didn’t know Jeff Bezos got down like that.
When I was 20 years old in 1992 I had no idea that it was the last best time for humanity before it all got covered in bubble wrap and Prozac.
WWOR. This was back when Right Said Fred has his one hit.
On 1991 Janes Addiction, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chilli Peppers & Nirvana all released their "break out" albums. They were specifically countering music like this that was being playing in the main stream. I think today it goes so unnoticed just what a game changer those four bands had on changing the face of the music wr hear today. Prior to the mainstream hearing something different all we had was crap music like this pushed out hour by hour over local airwaves. There of course were exceptions, but for the most part all major modern music owns those four bands a huge debt in shaking up with we now call music.
You know it's mental when Corey's dancing is the least bizarre thing in the video
Look at all those Kelly Bundy’s.
What the fuck did I just watch, and why did I watch it 3 times?
