Homer Simpson, Larry David, George Castanza, Stewie Griffin.

Got to give a nod to The Boss and Monica for inspiring it!

That was the way 99% of white people danced, back in the '80s. The New Romantics were notoriously bad dancers.

Anyway, back to Alfonso, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd4C8_FMdjA&feature=related

By the way, the proper name for the Moonwalk, is the Backslide. The Moonwalk is another move altogether, where the dancer goes around in a circle. Oh, and Michael Jackson didn't create any of these moves. The Backslide has been around since the '20s, and was first recorded on film in 1932.

If there was an award for worst dancing ever recorded on film, this man would definately be in with a chance of winning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi5IsOqLOi8&NR=1

Yes, but Alfonso Ribeiro credits Courtney Cox as his inspiration.

I'll go back even further and nominate 'Sergeant Bilko'.

Absolutely!

And:
The Crane Bothers.
Homer Simpson.
And take your pick from the cast of That 70's Show. Oh, you know the one.

Both Sheldon and Leonard are works of brilliance, IMO.
