Keep it TIGHT, BRIGHT, & SEXY! This Vancouverite strutting his stuff in Australia is a shining example of young Canadian manhood.
Spandy Andy's audition for So You Think You Can Dance Canada. Spandy Any on Wipeout Canada. Insights on bullying, displays of brotherly love, and adorable hip-thrusting home videos in the Vancouver Film School's documentary "SpandyAndy - Tight, Bright, and Fearless."
Credit for spreading the positivity and spandex across the internet goes to Helen Killer, who commissioned a Fiverr Valentine that sparked Spandy's wild popularity among the Fat Jealous Loser commentariat. Beautiful GIFs ensued (credit blackgermanshepherd).

Only in Australia! St. Kilda is looking good. I'll keep my eye out for him at Bondi.

If I ever need to make a fully live-action version of Going To The Store, I will cast this man.

Actually, I take that back, he probably wouldn't raise an eyebrow at Venice Beach.

Uh-oh. I'm getting that special mix of horror and lust that I normally associate with going to bars in West Hollywood.

You can actually see Crocodile Dundee in the background at about 1:35. He appears to be putting-out a cigarette in the sand before placing the butt in the trash.

Ha, this guy lives near me. He had his boombox on the Skytrain one night and was doing his thing (wearing a sparkly bodysuit). Everyone on the train had a big grin on their face. A Skytrain attendant got on the train to check out the commotion, and broke out his own grin, and then radioed to his cohorts a sort of "no big deal, it's just a kid dancing" type message.

So Canadians go for those kind of budgie smuggler swim pieces as well? At least he has the physique to pull it off.

One more thing to add to my list - Brian, Celine, Burton, Nickleback, and now this guy. Surely there are laws against this? Why is this being allowed? Where is the police state when you need it?

Pity he's from Vancouver. He should stay and join the Liberal Party.

It's cold and gray and depressing here today, and all the news is bad news... so, as surprised as I am to be uttering these words, I must say that the guy in the skintight sparkly speedo doing the thrustygrindy moves is really cheering me up. Thanks for the grin, Spandy Andy!

Thanks for the inspiration ! That was great, and I had never heard of this guy. He's innocent and mad. Cool.

How can anyone hate Spandy Andy? He's one of those rare people who can be goofy and fearless, and put a smile on everyone's face. His only agenda is happiness, be nice.

Aw, he should come to Coney Island for the Mermaid Parade this summer. New York would get a big kick out of this fellow!

It's amazing how much bad dancing and ego-strutting can get glossed over by the distraction of a moderate cultural transgression and a popular song.

It's bad dancing, but it's done so well! Watch him, some of that stuff is really technical. He just puts it together in the goofiest possible way.
My five year old loved it. She wants underpants and sunglasses JUST LIKE THOSE now.

I am totally proud of Spandy Andy! His positivity is inspiring.
But no, Canadians in general do not go in for his sort of thing.

He performs downtown all the time. It's a nice, random break from the relentless overcast and dour faces.

I'd actually prefer party boy - this is like the Canadian version, and it is just too fun and polite for the abrasive and self-involved egotism inherent in such a performance. FUCK YOU CANADIAN PARTY BOY YOU ARE DESTROYING CANADA'S REPUTATION!!!
oops sorry I am OK now

This generation that... invented dancing? And street performance?
You're right, we have a lot to answer for.

Yay him!
Yay fun!
Yay people having fun just to have fun!
The world needs more fun!
(Seriously, depressive or not, I have made it my life's goal to add a few more quanta of joy to the world. Dance, however, will never be my milieu.)
Also I want to kidnap his knees for an illegal, underground knee transplant.
(And I had to bust out the LMFAO after watching that. Cheese it might be, but it is happy-making cheese to me.)
