That made me burst out laughing. It happens in shows as well, for example 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Musical' and it happens all the time in movies (Bollywood Hollywood).

Haha, those were really funny. I've never seen that before.
Haha, I loved the one about martial arts, when the lights are off everything is visible but blue, and if you decide to dance in the streets, everyone you meet with know the steps. And also, when you are singing in the streets, everyelse also know the words. Haha.
