You Can’t Outdo Black People: Soul Train Edition
A couple of months ago, I came across this video and the commentary made me laugh SO HARD. I watched it about 7 times in a row and cackled just as much as I did the first time. Since then, it’s been shared on Facebook over 2,000 times. The person behind it is Darell J. Hunt (@darelljsings) and I had to give him ALL THE PROPS! I’ve been obsessed with it since so I had to share it with y’all.
This video is EVERYTHING. My first time slayed was “How you do all this in shoulder pads?” But he kept me howling with “Ain’t been to a single dance class but got on leg warmers. I LIVE!” “Just all kind of good hand geometry.” “She got that new vigorol honey.”
*DEAD*
GOLD. GOLD!!!
I’m pretty sure I’ve memorized this entire video as many times as I’ve watched it. This is why I now use the phrase “you can’t outdo Black people.” I need him to hurry up and create more videos because I am itching for his foolery!

Where has Darell J. Hunt been all my life??!?! He is everything and more! Yaaaasssss!!!
I got my life every time I watched his vid!!! I can’t get enough of it or Darell. Every time I watched it I heard something else that made me laugh even harder. I had never heard the phrase “hand geometry” but damn it if I knew exactly what he was trying to tell me LOL. You can’t out do Black people summed it right on up!
This video gives me life every time I watch it!! My friends and I have incorporated “Come on pumps” into our daily lingo!!
This NEVER gets old!! I say “come on pumps” at least once a day!! I had to befriend him on Facebook and TRUST he gives us something EVERY day. He’s just all around a sweet person.
I, too, have befriended him on FB. He never fails to deliver!
Debbie Allen Realness. The End.
“headband…Debbie Allen realness.” I live for this video it is still funny no many how many times I watched it. Lmao at him wondering is Cheryl (yes I know her name b/c I love Soul Train) ever sold her hair. Cheryl was the Asian J-lo of Soul train baby body and could move!

“She got that new vigirol honey! Body! Body!” I just laid out!

So glad you let us know the genius behind this gem! I’ve been saying, “work mother,” and “pumps,” for MONTHS now, LOL! His commentary is PURE gold.
SUBSCRIBED. And I want that gold leotard too.
I saw this a few months ago and watched it at least 20 times in one sitting, then shared it on my FB page. Some of my faves:
*Debbie Allen realness
*Come on pumps
*Giving us Michael
*I LIVE!!!
Lol
I seriously died. looool.
If you want a double laugh, watch this on YouTube with closed captioning on. Here’s a sample of what they think he said (and I’m not making this up) when the first dancer came down the line:
“Work mark…yeah drought is and shoulder pain…come on parks abner.”
You can’t outdo people who have no clue what black people are saying.
This Youtube video is on my “favorites” list. YESSSSS. My fave? “Come on pumps!”
I need to thank him for expanding my vocabary. “Werk mother!” “C’mon pumps!” “Hand geometry” and “You can’t outdo black people” are just a few of the phrases that I now say daily!!!
