Jimmy Pope, Cleaning Dancing Roommate, Goes Viral

The morning after a blowout Halloween party, Justin Chen recorded his half naked roommate Jimmy Pope cleaning their apartment while singing and dancing to Sheena Easton’s “Morning Train (9 to 5)” while their pets looked on disinterested. The hysterical video has gone viral over the weekend and has received over 4 million views.

This being the Internet Age, it’s easy to be cynical and call this video fake. And it probably is. Pope’s Twitter lists him as a dancer by trade and his and Chen’s Facebook pages are inundated with teases about major announcements and exciting news, so this is likely a forced attempt at promotion, complete with its own hashtags like #ifeelpretty #jimmythepope #prettyjimmy #willworkforpants
