H.O.N.D. Aerobic

»Nice-looking poodles sit up and beg, nice-looking poodles wiggle their bums. Nice-looking poodles twiddle their thumbs. Nice-looking poodles raise their hackles. Every dog is a nice-looking poodle…«
This video, which blends animation with live-action film, sees dancing poodles take to the stage and follow their trainer’s instructions delivered from above their heads. Its witty and droll imagery like this that makes performance art socially acceptable in pop culture.
