Have the judges on E!'s The Funny Dance Show ever been this impressed? This preview clip for Wednesday's brand-new episode of the dance competition show provides a glimpse of Esther Povitsky's performance to Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi," which all three judges end up loving. In the beginning, it appears that Povitsky is being photographed on a red carpet like any normal famous person would be. However, after a couple of twirls, it's revealed that unbeknownst to her, her dress is tucked into her underwear. That is the reason she's being swarmed by paparazzi, not because she's actually famous. The routine has a happy ending, though. When Povitsky...

Sherry Cola and London Brown know how to bring that "Boom Boom Pow." In this clip from tonight's all-new The Funny Dance Show, the comedians for Team Heidi transform into hilarious superheroes for an epic duet. Dancing to The Black Eyed Peas' 2009 hit, Cola and Brown are "so 3008" in their bright-colored body suits, capes and masks. While the twosome looks the part, do they dance the part? The answer: Yes! Between the robot, the running man and their Dirty Dancing-esque lift, Cola and Brown's dance is certainly impressive. Not to mention, their usage of props and comic book-like set pieces adds to their superhero story. No wonder competitor Jackie Tohn looks nervous...

A dance Kevin Bacon will be proud of. In this clip from Wednesday's all-new The Funny Dance Show, actress and comedian Sherry Cola cuts loose as she dances to Kenny Loggins' famous song, Footloose. Thanks to the hay bales and plaid shirts, it's clear that Cola is channeling the 1984 film starring Bacon. For those who've never seen the musical drama, Footloose tells the story of a Chicago teen who moves to a Western town where dancing is prohibited. Yet, it appears she has also incorporated The Red Shoes fairy tale into her number. As seen in the clip above, Cola doesn't find her country groove until she puts on a pair of bright red sneakers. Upon putting on the trainers, the Good...

Talk about perfect partners! Adam Ray and Brad Williams are competing on Justine Marino's team on tonight's all-new episode of The Funny Dance Show, and based on this clip alone, they seem to be totally in sync.

I think that's a good one." When the two hit the stage, they're dancing to Sia's "Elastic Heart." Ray is dressed as the pop star while Williams is impersonating her frequent collaborator, Maddie Ziegler. Throughout the performance, the...

Talk about a twist! When comedian Ron Funches takes the stage on this week's The Funny Dance Show, you're immediately transported to another decade. As seen in the above preview clip, Funches is sporting a letterman jacket and dancing alongside poodle skirt-clad women to "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys. However, in the blink of an eye, the Grease vibes are gone and a funkier sound takes over: "Brick House" by The Commodores. Funches' attention is diverted to one of his fellow dancers who's wearing a Pink Ladies-esque jacket, and the two spend the rest of the routine playfully getting down. As his team captain Heidi Heaslet put it, the performance...

Heidi Heaslet's team on The Funny Dance Show better watch out! In this clip of tonight's brand new episode, Justine Marino's team member Fahim Anwar brings the heat while dancing to Bobby Brown's late '80s hit "Every Little Step." And judging by his moves—along with how well recreated the former New Edition frontman's music video for the song—the judges will likely be very impressed. "You're an amazing dancer," Marino tells Anwar as he wraps up the dance number and prepares to get feedback from judges Justin Martindale, Loni Love and Allison Holker. "How do you feel about that?" Anwar's response? Good, despite having...

Apparently, the song choice was an easy one for Feimster. "My inspiration was that I love milkshakes. And I love ice cream. And I love bringing boys to the yard," she explains at rehearsal. As Feimster practices her moves with the help of numerous male backup dancers—which requires her to "touch a lot of dudes," something she says she hasn't done...

If you're not already watching The Funny Dance Show on E!, Loni Love just might convince you to start.

Carly Jibson may've been a Broadway baby, but she's got her work cut out for her on The Funny Dance Show. In this clip from Wednesday's all-new episode, The Guest Book actress tackles Right Said Fred's feel good song, "I'm Too Sexy." Jibson kicks off her solo routine draped in a black cape, where high heel-clad back-up dancers emerge from.

Despite nailing certain aspects of her routine, Jibson purposefully messes up at other moments. Slapstick humor at its best, right? However, we did not...

Tonight's episode of The Funny Dance Show gets a surprise appearance from none other than Shaquille O'Neal! While the real Shaq doesn't take the stage, actors Hana Mae Lee and Parvesh Cheena do dance alongside an extra-large cutout of the NBA legend on stilts. The combination doesn't really make sense until you consider the song they're getting down to: "Love Shack" by the B-52's. Dressed in purple and gold jerseys in a nod to Shaq's tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers, the duo quite literally dances circles around the two incognito stuntmen that make up the fake basketball player. The choreographed number ends with Hana and Parvesh collapsing to the...

If you've seen Pitch Perfect 2, then you've certainly seen Flula Borg bust a move or two. As one of the leaders of the German a cappella group Das Sound Machine, Borg's character held his own while facing off against the Barden Bellas.

In a preview clip for E!'s new dance competition show, The Funny Dance Show, Borg and accompanying backup dancers can be seen getting down to Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out."
