More hilarious footage of a US man reproducing well-known pop culture references on his ample tummy, then dancing.

From the New Year's Eve countdown to "Get Lucky" to him fully painted as a gorilla, Phoenix, Arizona-based Jared Stradling became an online celebrity by creating these short videos every Tuesday from June 2013 to June 2014, in which he wiggles his decorated tummy to pop hits.

"My wife is a face painter, so she painted my stomach with a pop culture reference. I would Vine myself dancing to a song that matched the theme."

Vine was a short-form video hosting service that closed in 2016.

He created "#TummyTuesday" and did 52 videos in total. Some of his paintings could take up to three hours.

For Stradling, the videos were a way to show his creative side.

"Friends and family would tell me that I should be a comedian, but I had anxiety around crowds. When I discovered the Vine app, I realized that it was my comedic outlet."
