Harlem shake vs Gundam Style. Which dance is better to you?

They are both a freaking joke if you ask me.

Well, if you are talking about the actual Hip Hop Harlem Shake, and not those viral videos, then I prefer the Harlem Shake over Gangnam Style.  Easier to do and more versatile and laid back.

For those who were not aware, the Harlem Shake is an actual Hip Hop dance step.  You can see how to do it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3KRbJR5OGc

Well said. The actual Harlem Shake is much better than either the meme / dance to Baauer's "Harlem Shake" or Psy's Gangnam Style... Here's an MSNBC Footnote about the actual dance from the 1980's:

And the music video that popularized that dance:

If the OP was asking between Baauer's and Psy's songs (and the dances to them), then I'd have to go with Psy. At least he actually made up that dance, and it was made as a statement about the social culture in the Gangnam district of Seoul, S. Korea. The "dance" to Baauer's "Harlem Shake" is actually just an internet viral video meme that has nothing to do with the original Harlem Shake dance, and only slightly to do with the song (in that that was the song used in the original internet video, but the artist nor any of the producers actually made a video featuring this new Harlem Shake).

Definitely Gangnam Style. Harlem Shake is 30 seconds of pure chaos. It isn't entertaining in the slightest and became down right annoying, real fast.
