About

Pennywise Dancing, also known as Pennywise Can Dance to Anything, is a video remix series featuring a camera-recorded clip of the antagonist Pennywise from the 2017 supernatural horror film It dancing with a variety of humorous songs dubbed over the background audio.

Origin

In September 2017, a camera recording of a scene from It in which the monster Pennywise dancing on a stage before grabbing Beverly Marsh by the throat was leaked on YouTube. While the original uploads were removed, a reupload by YouTuber SkilledJay remains on the site (shown below, left). While the exact origin is unclear, some have cited a video uploaded by YouTuber AdrenalinGnome as the first popular remix of the scene. In a comment on YouTuber PrestigeGamez channel, AdrenalinGnome claims the video received nearly 500,000 views prior to its removal. ^[1] The original video has since been reuploaded to AdrenalinGnome's alternate CxVEN channel (shown below).
