In 2013, at the height of the "Harlem Shake" viral dance craze, John released a video titled . Unlike the thousands of other versions of the meme that involved groups of people dancing wildly after a jump cut, John’s version took an extreme, "hard R-rated" turn.

The (archive.org) is often called the "Wayback Machine," but it is more than that. It is the digital Library of Alexandria. Since 1996, it has been saving web pages, software, games, and critically—viral videos that corporate platforms delete or bury.

Since this video is a controversial piece of internet history, a "good" review often focuses on its significance as a relic of early 2010s shock comedy and the later success of its creator. Review: The Harlem Shake (Steezy Grossman Edition)

During the mid-2010s, YouTube aggressively updated its automated Content ID system. Because the Harlem Shake relied on a copyrighted track by Baauer, and YouTube Poops relied heavily on ripping footage from copyrighted television shows, thousands of these videos were systematically wiped from mainstream platforms. Channel terminations were common.

The video begins with the on-screen text "Steezy Grossman". It then cuts to a stark bathroom interior, where Steezy is sitting on a toilet, wearing a tank top, a bicycle helmet, and green sunglasses, all while dancing to Baauer's "Harlem Shake". True to the meme's structure, the video builds anticipation until the beat drops. At that exact moment, a second man enters the frame, also naked and wearing a helmet and green sunglasses. What follows is the gross-out punchline: Steezy Grossman stands on the toilet and, amid a soundtrack of both hysterical and disgusted laughter, defecates onto his friend.

In early 2013, the internet was consumed by the Harlem Shake. Unlike the original 1980s dance from Harlem, this version was a comedic template set to the song by Baauer.

It was the peak of "random" humor, and everyone from office workers to the Norwegian Army participated. Understanding the "Poop" Aesthetic

The Poop Steezy Grossman character, while largely forgotten, represents the internet's tendency to create and obsess over strange, often inexplicable content. The character's appearance on the Internet Archive serves as a testament to the web's ability to preserve and amplify even the most bizarre and ephemeral trends.

The end. 💩🕺📦
