When you need a good laughter for that gloomy work day... Anything goes!!

Alex Shibutani is a real gem!  Call Me Maybe from The Ice 2012 and Amazing Basketball Trick Shots from Champs Camp 2012.

I am late to catch up with the fluff pieces from The Ice Show 2012, the samba dance battle is real hilarious too :)

I do not understand how a certain Russian has not yet made it into this thread...

Mind you, after getting tired of taking off his clothes for an audience, he switched to cross-dressing instead.

That Sex Bomb routine is my favorite Plushenko program ever! It's even funnier when you've seen how formal Plushenko can be. :D

The only words I understood were 'ina bauer'.

That had to be one strong skater in there, or maybe they put the costume on different people for different skills and cut the video together.
Yes I'm in with the 90's. I have a skating blog. http://icedoesntcare.blogspot.com/

Japan has a ridiculously competitive singles program, so I imagine it was a strong skater with higher double jumps at least. Apparently this green guy is a dinosaur called Gachapin, a popular know-it-all cartoon character in Japan.

Recently someone also shared a Sailor Moon cartoon episode that featured figure skating, but alas, people spun on top of their toe picks... :P

You can tell based on their single jumps and overrotated axels (I really did think they were going for a double at first!) that it has to be a higher level skater in there :)

I did not finish watching that episode, looks like I missed much of the fun:



That's challenging to glide in that spiral position LOL!!!!!

*blinks at the gifs*

Did Sailor Moon just do a sextuple Axel?

Actually, when I was a kid, that was one of my favourite episodes, even before I knew what figure skating was.
