The San Jose Sharks released a cringe-worthy, holiday-themed rap video to wish their fans a happy holidays, and, I guess, give the fans something to laugh about.
Unfortunately, the the laughs were few and far between, and the Sharks rap video is by far the worst organized sports song-and-dance routine I have ever seen.
See what you think!
Obviously, the video was always going to be bad and was meant to make fun of themselves, but it was far worse than I even expected. As a cynic, I’m rarely shocked by how bad something is. So, what does that tell you about the video?
I cringed, literally, the entire time.
This rap video isn’t the “Super Bowl Shuffle,” which wasn’t great but is immortal because of its significance at the time.
It’s not the 2012 Harvard baseball team and their “Call Me Maybe” music video. That video was actually funny.
It’s not even the Miami Heat doing the “Harlem Shake,” which was also semi-cringeworthy but has aged better with time.
No, the San Jose Sharks ruined holiday sweaters for me.
The tone is droll. There’s no energy among the players. And, quite honestly, the announcer guy, who happens to be Sharks’ broadcaster Dan Rusanowsky, should be embarrassed for his role in the video.
Imagine if Rusanowsky was your dad. How could you go to school the next day? Could you ever respect your dad again?
I don’t think so…
I’m all for professional athletes doing activities other than their profession in their spare time, but seriously, Sharks players, do not quit your day job. Ever.
