Jumbotron Do's and Don'ts | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Sarah Rodriguez Most camera operators at sporting events do a relatively good job of keeping things moving. Sometimes they’ll get stalled on a pretty blonde girl or a group of pretty blonde girls, but the vast majority of them develop a rhythm over the years.
There is, however, the occasional lazy one who tends to linger way too long. When the operator lingers too long on a specific woman, it can go from comical to creepy in an instant—often she’ll become visibly uncomfortable. When the operator lingers too long on a man, the result is generally something like this video.
At first the Flyers fan is loving life, pulling out all his dance moves before whipping off his Santa hat and gyrating “seductively.” Then it just gets repetitive. After 30 seconds, it’s like he can’t even believe he’s still on the Jumbotron and is completely out of material.
The camera guy definitely overstayed his welcome, which isn’t entirely the Flyers fan’s fault—although he certainly didn’t help matters either. So if you ever find yourself dancing on the Jumbotron for so long that you start to think, “Maybe I’ve been doing this too long,” just have a seat.
