For finding a fun way to kill time and express himself at the same time regardless of anyone thinks of him. This Harlem Shake dance is trending worldwide right now and I personally find all the videos funny as hell lol

Extacy trended one time too. "jus sayin'"
Laughing at someone acting the fool, I get. Respecting them for it... I guess generations have different criteria.
Respect for the sense of humor he has.
Respect for the entertainment he provides.
Respect for the vulnerability to ridicule he shows, and the self-assurance that lies behind that.
Respect for the vibe he puts out ... the guy is having fun!
Respect for the gift he shared and the spirit in which it was.
There's more but you get the idea. I enjoyed the funny video and respect the man who made it.

He did open himself up to ridicule just for the laughs and entertainment of others, he didn't hurt anyone or anything and it was funny.

See, all that stuff you mentioned might get appreciation, but I don't see the respect. I respect you for your knowledge and accomplishments. However, I would not respect you if, say, you ran around a parking lot with your underwear on your head. I would laugh, and say you're crazy, but it's nothing, IMO, earning respect. I too, am a joker at heart... the family clown. I make light of the issues that confront us, but don't see where respect comes in.

But like I said, any idiot can do that. I'm not calling TJP an idiot, just saying that the act is that type of comedy. I'm sure the Numa Numa guy wasn't an idiot, but what he did was ridiculed because it fell into that category. I laughed at him too, and was glad he made the video. But I don't respect him for it.

Well please tell us when something piques your interest. I'll be sure to do the Mashed Potato for you.
On second thought, I'll do the Charleston. You're more likely to recognize it thru your Alzheimer's.
And, as I recall, a guy named Jerry Seinfeld did pretty well with a show about nothing.

That is correct, you do not see the respect. Respect is in the eye of the beholder. If you don't see it, you don't see it, and if I do, I do. There's nothing more to it than that.

I'm asking what constitutes respect these days. You're making it more difficult than it has to be. "Just because" is not a very good answer.
Hey Hawk, you better look outside, I think there's some kids on your lawn.

When I use the word "respect" it means the same thing these days as it has in all other days. If it is a precise definition you want, I'll give you the one from Merriam-Webster that is most appropriate for this convesation: "high or special regard: esteem"
If you wish, you can go to my post above and where I said "Respect for" substitute "High regard for."
If you are using the word "respect" in another way, kindly explain.

Honor. Holding in high esteem. Yeah, I know the definition. I'm asking what constitutes it... as in, does EVERYONE deserve it these days? A pulse and a dance? Having balls, regardless of what the result is? If that's the case, Jackazz was a show FULL of "respect".
IMO, the word can go right alongside "hero" and "patriot" to being way overused these days. It meant something back then. Today, it's simply to acknowledge that someone exists.
