Vijay’s classic GIFs 2007-2011 – 136

 

After a quick stay in Seven Kings, just outside London, King Leonidas of the Spartans jets off to Africa to dance at an international conference. Love the thumbs up, Leo!

This GIF is based on an infamous dance that former US President George Bush did with the Kankouran Dance Company from west Africa who were visiting the White House in 2007 for a malaria awareness event.

This is probably the first humorous GIF I’ve seen that makes reference to three different films. King Leonidas of 300 (2006) in the guise of Tony Montana from Scarface (1983) guns down Chunk the big kid from The Goonies (1985) with water balloons.
