Evolution of Dance 3[edit]
This was announced by Judson on June 16, 2010.[12] He stated that it was in its early stages and that it was too early to give any details. In a YouTube comment he claimed he was trying to incorporate much older music and possibly include a second dancer. It was uploaded in April 2016, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Evolution of Dance.[13]

Popular culture[edit]
In December 2007, Judson appeared in an advert on the BBC for the 'dance season' during the Christmas Holidays.[14] "Evolution of Dance" was #1 on the show Rude Tube hosted by Alex Zane and Laipply was interviewed on the show.[citation needed] Judson was also featured in the music video for Weezer's song "Pork and Beans" along with several other Internet celebrities.
In February 2010 the video was used as a question reference on the game show Jeopardy! in the 2010 college championships. In "The Delivery" episode of The Office, Andy Bernard does the dance sans music as a pregnancy distraction for Pam. In 2011, Judson also appeared on Tosh.0, hosted by Daniel Tosh. The video has been parodied numerous times on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon through variations such as "Evolution of Mom Dancing" (guest-starring Michelle Obama)[15] or "Evolution of Hip-Hop Dancing" (guest-starring Will Smith)[16] among others.
He did another video, called "The Evolution of the Touchdown Dance", which included memorable NFL touchdown dances, like "The Ickey Shuffle", Joe Horn's cell phone celebration, and famous celebrations from Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco.[17]
In December 2015, he appeared in YouTube's annual YouTube Rewind.[18]
