Back in 2006 a man by the name of Mistah F.A.B. released a song called "Ghost Ride It" into the airwaves. With the theme song of Ghostbusters sampled in the background, the track was an ode to the act of blasting music from your car and dancing outside the car, while it's still moving. Naturally, people have been imitating the video ever since. Inspired white kids everywhere thought it'd be awesome to film their attempts, most often failing in the process. The dumping grounds for these videos? YouTube. Check out the comedy gold we found in the archives, as we explain 10 Reasons You Should Never, Ever Ghost Ride Your Whip.

You Might Cause Serious Brain Damage

You're Going to Crash
You'd think this dude would get in the truck and stop once it started banging against the curb, but no. He had to stick to his plan. What's that get him? Some bumps, some bruises, and a big, crashed heap of metal.
You're Going To Fall Off Your Car
This dude has the most impressive wipeout of any ghost ride video we've seen. We just wish he would have landed it.
You'll Be a Copycat
The Oakland A's were in trouble of being moved to Fremont. The only way to protest and prevent this from happening was letting a car idle, putting on ridiculous outfits, dancing outside said car while it's moving, and standing on top of said car while it's moving. Hey, the A's are still in Oakland, aren't they? These dudes were some of the original YouTube ghost riders.
You're Going To Look Like an Idiot
We can only laugh at stupid for so long. When you've seen the same thing over and over and over again, it's obvious when people are trying way too hard. We hope this tape was leaked to these kids' schoolmates, and each and every one of them was shamed for the rest of their high school careers.
People Will Think You've Lost your Mind
Rhett and Link are pretty Internet famous, so it's not surprising this has gotten a lot of attention. The comedy is there, though, as the two dance next to tractors, horses, and power wheels. What you know about that electric shopping cart life?
You'll Announce to the World You Have No Friends or Life
The ultimate ghost riding: driving another whip around your whip! And having that whip actually be a tractor. But you're still whipping it around in circles, so we can still call it a whip.
You'll Shatter Your Window
It's obvious that people ghost riding and standing on top of their cars don't give a shit about their vehicles, but we don't think this is what they had in mind.
Your Vehicle Will Run Away From You
Judging by how this kid acts, he's probably been cranking the throttle a little too much lately, if you catch our drift.
You'll Never Do It Better Than the Grandparents
1. Grandparents driving a Scion
2. Grandparents listening to a dude named Mistah Fab
3. Grandparents gettin' their grove on in the middle of the street. In the tone of Ricky Bobby, if you don't like this video, then fuck you.
