Entertainment ensues.

You need to be laughing Maniacally and yelling "Dance Puppet! Dance!" Or maybe a handle on the light to make it look like a cane and a Straw Boater hat. (Looney tunes music optional)
I'm in favor of the cane and boater, personally. I'm not entirely sure why he felt the need to run in place, but then again, I'm also not entirely sure why he felt that he needed to be shot with electricity!
