Their TikTok account, which boasts itself as “your mom’s favorite TikTok page”, features a man dancing it out with his two grown sons.

Brothers Colin and Dylan McFarland decided it was their turn to give the dance craze a shot, with the addition of their father, Dan. Their TikTok channel has more than 900 thousand followers.
The McFarland family’s hilarious video begins with Dan watching actor Tommy Bracco perform the challenge.
One of the sons questions his father:
“Can you do that?”
The other son begs of his dad:
“Dad, people NEED you!”
The dad momentarily questions the dance before agreeing to do it. No sooner does the group run down the stairs into the garage for a hilarious rendition of the 80s-esque dance routine.
Their version will have you rolling on the ground in fits of laughter and tears! After the trio races into the garage, they make it out to the driveway as the Weeknd’s catchy song plays in the background. They begin the routine with a synchronized dab and then offer us some lightning-fast fancy footwork.
Their joyous expressions are contagiously delightful and are sure to lift any spirits.
For the grand finale, the two sons lift their father into the air while he stretches out his arms.
The clip has gone viral, with more than eleven million views.
The comical family has shared their dance moves with the internet before, and have become somewhat of a beloved sensation, with many videos breaking 200,00 views.
