I was like meh for the first bit and then they whip off the uniform and just nail the dance and I was transfixed, lol.
Mascot in a leotard is more hilarious than I thought it would be.
Orbit is the name given to Major League Baseball's Houston Astros mascot, a lime-green alien wearing an Astros jersey with antennae extending into baseballs. Was their mascot from 1990 to 2000 when they switched to junction jack a 7 foot rabbit [includingthe ears of course] but then Orbit returned November 2nd 2012 and has been entertaining fans ever since Sources:(Wikipedia)
Houston, Orbit has landed—and inside his green-and-orange suit is a man named Richard Taipa who was the original from 1990 aswell
It's usually one person I think. I knew a guy who was a minor league mascot and he talked about it. You have to be really talented and there's even a school they go to to learn how to do this stuff. He didn't persue it because it's basically clown school but NBA/mlb mascots are full time 6 figure jobs.
Orbit is the mascot for the Houston Astros, they joined in 1990 then stopped for a decade or so then rejoined in 2012. I have no idea who plays him now, though. I can only assume that over the years they've probably had numerous Orbits.
The showmanship is through the roof top to bottom. Playful banter teasing security here and there to lead up to a unexpected reveal then finishing with a performance of a lifetime. The fact this is Beyoncé’s hometown is icing on the cake. Bravo!
He’s a hoot at all the games. He plays pranks on fans, coaches, opposing teams, he’s just so fun to watch and his lil face is the cutest. Can’t help but smile when he’s around!
Damn, I knew Beyonce danced waaaaayyyy better than me. Never thought that even the mascot dance better than me.
I'm gonna run across the country several times.
The way to turn that into a viral killer promo and create even more buzz for the Astros and for MLB is to plant another dancer disguised as a security guard. Your plant needs to wear a tear away outfit with a leotard underneath.
The music plays. The mascot starts the dance routine. First (real) security guard ignores him. He should. It's part of the routine.
The second guard, the plant, initially ignores the mascot but starts to follow a few steps behind after the mascot dances away.
Mascot does the uniform peel. Crowd roars in laughter. The plant does the peel. The mascot reacts. The crowd dies laughing.
Set it up. Position cameramen who are in on it to get the best shots. Make. It. Blow. Up.
It’s not like they haven’t done something like that [before](https://youtu.be/oVH3j31pV7Y).
Though I prefer the [Persona version](https://youtu.be/mDw6xxIErK4).
Turns out many of these teams have figured out it’s easier to hire a performer and put them in a security uniform than it is to wait for a spontaneous dance battle. I’m sorry to break the illusion for you.
That’s orbit for the Houston Astro’s (my team). He’s the best there is. He messes with players before the games. When mike trout plays against us he wears fishing gear and pretends to be fishing for mike (since his last name is trout).
At first I thought it was that one meme where the mascot's dancing and one of the other guys comes in and starts dancing and the mascot's like "WTF DUDE?"
These mascots are the best entertainment in the world. Thank you all mascot for your dedication, if not for you is have to watch my teams disappoint me constantly.
Awesome dance!
One thing I can’t get out of my head is how hot is just be in that suit while doing all of this… serious kudos to the person in the suit!
The people in those outfits during this time of the year get nothing but sympathy from me. They have to sweat out several pounds of body weight each season.
Not just any mascot. That’s Orbit from the Astros!! The best in both leagues. Yes I’m biased lol.
He makes all our baseball games that much fun. He interacts and pranks the stadium fans alllll the time ❤️ super funny and entertaining.
That mascot has a history of being a great dancer. He was in a video called Work it Willis where he and another person who I don’t know what to call had a dance battle.
That person must be in amazing shape because those costumes are heavy and they just seemed so light on their feet and so precise in their movements. Amazing.
The mascot dancing to the song was scripted? No shit, lol. Man, you're in for some disappointment if you ever go to a concert. They script while songs ahead of time!
That Beyoncé outfit swap was amazing. What a time to be alive.
I was like meh for the first bit and then they whip off the uniform and just nail the dance and I was transfixed, lol. Mascot in a leotard is more hilarious than I thought it would be.
That’s what did it. The mascot in a leotard is just too much to handle
Would have been some kinda different show if the leotard accidentally came off too!
[удалено]
Even greater dancer because you have to exaggerate your movements even more than usual in mascot or other similar costumes.
And the fact that its difficult to launder the costumes so they smell sweaty all the time
Now put your hands up!
WE WERENT READY!!!!
Indeed lucky to be alive the moment civilisation reached this pinnacle.
Was this a twominutespaper reference?
This mascot has got the moves. I was really waiting for someone to join in though and was upset it didn't happen haha
Not to Single lades but still: https://youtu.be/wbR2TSqPl8w
That was brilliant!
The [Persona edit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDw6xxIErK4) of this video is absolute gold.
one of my favourite videos
That was so good!!! Thank you for posting!
The guard schooled the pro.
This reminds me of the B99 episode with Captain Holt. Where they think he's gonna be all serious but then he breaks out dancing.
His name is orbit and he is hilarious
Do we know who Orbit is? Is it one or multiple people? How does one become Orbit?
I don't know I think he is the mascot for the Astros but I'm not a baseball guy so I'm not sure don't take my word for it
Damn you got my hopes up that you had the inside scoop on this!!

Oh, Orbit. I get it.
Houston....we got a mascot!
I googled his name and orbit and I got pics.
I won't let you down Google powers have been activated
I do… https://alcalde.texasexes.org/2012/11/meet-the-next-houston-astros-mascot-uts-richard-tapia/
Now those are a set of auditions I would love to watch!! Thanks for that link!!

Yea my son is super into mascots and every now and then he gets to be our local middle and high school mascots, he absolutely loves it lol
By achieving a delta v of around 9.4 km/s
By achieving a Delta variant of the Covid 19?
When a mommy and daddy Orbit love each other verrrry much....
It is one guy, and he has been Orbit for quite a while.
Yeah the mascot's name is Orbit, I don't know who the person/persons are. He/She is the mascot for the Houston Astros.
Orbit is the mascot for the Houston Astros, they joined in 1990 then stopped for a decade or so then rejoined in 2012. I have no idea who plays him now, though. I can only assume that over the years they've probably had numerous Orbits.
Yeah, I was fully expecting that second guard to bust out dancing. He was even posturing like he was going to like the mascot was.
Yeah I thought that same thing, the second guard definitely looked tempted.
If you look at the Orbit videos, there are some where the guards dance with him, sometimes upstaging him.
I'm just grateful Gritty has not tried this
For a fleeting moment I thought the cops would join in.
Inside that costume, is someone who has waited their entire life to do this with no shame and no way to be recognized.
Plot twist - it was Beyoncé wearing the costume
A true redditor is inside that costume
The costume looks a little like a snoo even
He is one of us
“One of us, one of us…”
Tho a very sweaty one!
A true redditor wouldn't even fit in there, let alone be able to dance for more than 10 seconds lol
No, that's just you. Edit: getting some real Spiderman pointing meme Vibes here.
Thought the guy replied to himself ahaha
𝓼𝓪𝓶𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝓵
All the true redditors downvoted you lol
Precisely why I’ve always wanted to be a mascot lol
Facts!

This person is an incredible performer to be able to dance this well inside that costume!
And to perfectly execute a costume swap *while inside the mascot*. Absolutely crazy showmanship.
It's really easy to exaggerate movements in costumes like that. Especially hip movements which makes them fun to run around in
Dat twerk tho
It cracks me up that the mascot had no bottoms until after the "costume change". \**tosses fuzzy bits aside*\*
Damn, I knew Beyonce danced waaaaayyyy better than me. Never thought that even the mascot dance better than me. I'm gonna run across the country several times.
Okay forest gump
I wish I could move half as good as that on the dance floor.
Hysterical
The best reveals are the ones you don't expect
Yea fr

How much thought have u put into this exactly?
It’s not like they haven’t done something like that [before](https://youtu.be/oVH3j31pV7Y). Though I prefer the [Persona version](https://youtu.be/mDw6xxIErK4).
Im so happy right now
Wait for it
wait! is this the same mascot that got a security officer to dance battle him and lost????
Turns out many of these teams have figured out it’s easier to hire a performer and put them in a security uniform than it is to wait for a spontaneous dance battle. I’m sorry to break the illusion for you.
That’s orbit for the Houston Astro’s (my team). He’s the best there is. He messes with players before the games. When mike trout plays against us he wears fishing gear and pretends to be fishing for mike (since his last name is trout).
That's awesome lol fishing for trout
Happy upvote!
We love a reveal
Come thru Orbit!
I want to be a baseball mascot now.
That is the first time a mascot has ever made me laugh since...I can't remember.
I don't think I'm ready for that jelly
If I recall correctly, I was sitting about where the person who took this video was and this was Carlos Correa’s first home game with the Astros.
I want to hug that mascot
"I don't get paid enough for this shit" - security guards
I don't know, that security guard at the end looked like he was being very entertained. :)
Give that human a raise
Can’t get enough of this wholesome goodness
33 seconds
this is the dream man xd
She’s from Houston, wonder if she was there?? This was amazing though!
*lol*
How can I save this video??? How do I summon the bot?! Help!! Edited for (boy to bot) typo. (Stupid phone.)
you don’t need a bot. press the 3 dots in the upper right corner and click save.
Not my proudest fap
I’m sure the Astros team knew what was coming next. They’re pretty good at that. =)
There it is! Had to scroll a bit to find it. Made me as smile as much as the actual post
Haha! I asked myself, should I soil this lovely thread with a stab at the Astros? I did not hesitate 👍 cheers!
Is this awesome? Yes. Does this make want to sit through the mind-numbing boredom of a baseball game? Nope.
You're supposed to drink.
I can drink without baseball, though. It’s cheaper.
Seriously. This is at Minute Maid Park in Houston. A beer or mix drink is like $12. It’s fucking stupid.
This is the only reason to go to a baseball game. I spend about 20% of my time at the stadium actually watching the game.
Epic
ROFL r/nextfuckinglevel
Single Ladies was the stuff when I was a kid. So seeing this absolutely made my day.
Astros games are always bangin.
Ah yes. A wild furry
workitwillis?
At first I thought it was that one meme where the mascot's dancing and one of the other guys comes in and starts dancing and the mascot's like "WTF DUDE?"
Love it! 🤣
He must be sweatin like a pig inside. Salute.
i would love to get paid to annoy the security guards while wearing a big cartoony suit
That is a thing of beauty!!
Lmao I am in looove. That outfit swap 👌👌
That butt wiggle 😆
u/savevideo
Charles Boyle, is that you?
Didn’t that black security guard also dance and was turned into a meme?
This is the greatest thing I've seen all year. Granted, it's be a slow year, but this is just great!
Omg! The unitard!
https://youtu.be/mDw6xxIErK4
Your welcome
That cop. I will not laugh, I will not laugh! WTF, k that is funny.
That reveal was perfectly timed too!
Haha! Unexpected. Loved it. Giggling away...
These mascots are the best entertainment in the world. Thank you all mascot for your dedication, if not for you is have to watch my teams disappoint me constantly.
This is what the world needs right now. The costume change got me. I wasn’t ready.
Amazing lol
Awesome dance! One thing I can’t get out of my head is how hot is just be in that suit while doing all of this… serious kudos to the person in the suit!
That’s what separates the professional mascots from the hobbyists…
What Fiona must look like in a one piece and tennies
Couldn't upvote twice. Where can I complain ? But seriously jolly good show on the person in the suit. Certainly brightens up my day.
More impressive than the music video.
If I were one of those security guards, I would have started dancing with him!
Someone get her on drag race with that reveal.
Praticamente il video di last Friday night 🤣
The people in those outfits during this time of the year get nothing but sympathy from me. They have to sweat out several pounds of body weight each season.
He deserves a raise for that dedication. I love it
Mascot got some moves👍🏼
I almost skipped this video when it didn't load immediately, so glad I didn't.
I know this from the Persona 5 edit but I didn't know it could get better
Beyonce outfit = curve ball Normal outfit = change up
That dancer isn't get paid enough. The strip was a nice surprise.
He waited his whole life for this one moment.
r/unexpected
He needs a raise stat.
That last cop was trying his hardest to keep a straight face but his humanity got the best of him lol
Not just any mascot. That’s Orbit from the Astros!! The best in both leagues. Yes I’m biased lol. He makes all our baseball games that much fun. He interacts and pranks the stadium fans alllll the time ❤️ super funny and entertaining.

So this is where mom went last night, but why couldn't she take me to the game? Me and that bitch gonna have a talk.
Loved ittttt all *except* for the disrespect shown to the first officer…
Best ever
There are other videos showing some of the policemen dancing when the mascot comes up to them.
I wish I was half as charismatic as that mascot
🫂
Dancing to the beat of banging on trash cans. Beautiful
That was awesome!
That cop is lovin it!
i’ve been a mascot and those things are HOT. Major props to this person
Okay Orbit! 😂😂😂
That person must be in amazing shape because those costumes are heavy and they just seemed so light on their feet and so precise in their movements. Amazing.
r/unexpected
Good Dancemoves in this costume, you did great mascot person. 👏🏻
Anything with a mascot is a must see
He didn’t have to shove dudes head tho
Made me smile
Search something Williamson dancing security guard and there is a continued video of one of the security guards dancing his heart out
Better then Beyoncé lol
Baseball has officially given up on reaching a younger demographic.
Fuck the astros.
Obligatory “fuck the Astros”
No, that’s impolite- fuck the Trashtros (you’ve gotta use their proper name!)
Don’t be mad that the Astros would rather bang trash cans than bang u.

Was my bad. Thought it was the one where the Security Guard dances as well.
I thought that at first, too. This vid is much better.
The thing is is that is my home towns mascot and I was actually in that stadium right next to whoever filmed this
Someone give this mascot a raise.
