Ninja\u2019s floss at Times Square for New Years in 2018 was not the way to start his 2019 off right. With millions of New Yorkers standing in the rain for the ball drop, the Fortnite star tried to get them moving, but to no avail. Not the one to be kept feeling down by such moments, he\u2019s relieved it to bring in 2020 by uploading a tongue-in-cheek video remaking the unforgettable moment. In a video posted on December 31, Ninja set out to repeat his Times Square floss dance in front of a few less people \u2014 his rather disinterested family. \u201cWelp, this year wasn\u2019t any different than the last,\u201d he said on Twitter, even though he said that this year\u2019s floss was \u201cgoing to be different.\u201d However, not even the iconic line of \u201cI\u2019m not seeing enough movement\u201d could motivate his family into joining him doing the popular Fortnite dance. The tweet has spread like wildfire on New Year\u2019s Eve, garnering the attention of millions of users, and a lot of laughs as Ninja looked back at one of his more awkward moments from the year. Welp\u2026 this year wasn\u2019t any different than the last pic.twitter.com\/M9u5kU0RVx \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) January 1, 2020 The video was posted on the one-year anniversary of the now-infamous clip of Ninja at Times Square celebrating New Year\u2019s Eve with a miserable New York crowd trying to avoid the rain below. It stands as one of Twitch\u2019s most viewed clips at almost two million views, and while the moment was embarrassing at the time, Ninja has learned to embrace it as time\u2019s worn on. \u201cWord of advice. Don\u2019t try to get one million New Yorkers to dance in the rain on New Years,\u201d he said in a tweet hours into 2019. \u201cTrust me.\u201d Word of advice Dont try to get 1 million New Yorkers to dance in the rain on new years. Trust me. \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) January 1, 2019 Ninja isn\u2019t spending New Years on the big stage this year, instead spending it with his family. The streamer has been able to take a bit of a break over the holiday season after signing with Mixer, not having to worry about streaming to get subs across the last couple of weeks. However, most importantly, he\u2019s made sure to start his 2020 right by leaving the New Years\u2019 floss in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ninja welcomes in 2020 by poking fun at his infamous 2018 New Year dance Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has welcomed in the new year by reflecting on his moment of fame \u2014 and embarrassment \u2014 at Times Square in 2018, remaking the iconic floss video at home.
