Dance is often used as an expression as drama, so it was great seeing it used in comedic form. This excerpt featured two air guitarists falling in love. At first, there was just a male air guitarist, fooling around -- dropping the guitar, fitting it into his pants, etc. Then when he meets the female air guitarist, they try every which way to air guitar off of each other, and even while they’re dancing. The actors’ facial expressions made the whole dance hysterical, and it was well received by those in the audience. It was as if the excerpt had its own laugh track."
