‘The budget lowers every video’: Man Can’t Stop Hiring Michael Jackson Impersonators To His House Parties

TikTok user hires multiple Michael Jackson impersonators to dance for him at home

How many Michael Jackson impersonators does one person need in their party? Most people would answer just one, but TikTok user ‘domthetroll.tiktok’ had an unusual response to that question.

In his three-part series, he hired an increasing number of Michael Jackson impersonators in his ‘house party.’ Strangely enough, in each video, he would claim that the party had been cancelled. Nevertheless, Dom would still invite the impersonators in—letting them dance and show off their impersonation skills.

In the first video, Dom hired two Michael Jackson impersonators. At one glance, anyone could tell that the two are professionals. They emulated Michael Jackson closely, from their dance moves down to their ‘heehee.’ Even if the party was cancelled, the impersonators had a dance-off, with the winner being declared as the ‘real’ Michael Jackson.

So, who won? You guessed it—it’s Michael Jackson.

More Michael Jackson impersonation videos to come

The first video, although random, gained 29.7 million views. So when Dom uploaded the second Michael Jackson impersonator video, most TikTok users thought he would bring in another professional—perhaps one that resembled Michael Jackson even more. When the third impersonator came in with obvious face paint, huge clothes, and questionable dance moves, TikTok was shocked. Placed side-by-side with the two initial Jacksons, the third one looked like a kid dressed up for Halloween.

Then, the third video came, titled ‘I hired 5 Michael Jackson impersonators to perform for just me.’ Shockingly, the door opened with five people that hardly looked like Michael Jackson. Only the latecomer, the sixth Michael Jackson, who was also in the previous two videos, looked serious about the craft of impersonation.

As one TikTok user puts it, “The budget lowers every video.”

Perhaps the most hilarious twist in this story is that Dom isn’t finished. He plans to hire ten Michael Jackson impersonators in a future video. Maybe he’ll get to a hundred one day or finally hire Fabio Jackson—TikTok’s most famous Michael Jackson lookalike.

Either way, TikTok users are amused, with one noting that at the very least, this is “completely legal.”
