Jasmin and James tackle the suit and the "Smooth Criminal" lean

The white pinstripes are in place, but a green-suited helper makes this Michael Jackson tribute a comedy double act.

I FINALLY GOT THE MJ SUIT! 😩😮‍💨

A white fedora, pinstripe suit and blue shirt get the look right. Holding that impossible forward lean takes a little assistance, and Jasmin and James make sure the assistance gets screen time too.

Their Michael Jackson-inspired Short has passed two million views in 19 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for this format. It is one of several uploads carrying the same MJ-suit title, alongside a Barbie Swan Lake outfit clip and another dance routine.

Here, the dancer puts on her hat while a man in a full-body green suit kneels behind her. As she tips forwards into the "Smooth Criminal" lean, the effects reveal him supporting her back. Rather than preserve the illusion, the routine turns its mechanics into the joke: he becomes clearly visible again, then points and cheers her on as she rises into a toe pose.

The musical reference has reached the comments, too. Viewers name Michael Jackson songs, with one suggesting "Smooth Criminal" as the soundtrack to match the outfit. There is also a smaller visual gag to catch: feet poking out from behind the doorframe while the main pair get on with the performance.
