The Offspring Reunite with ‘Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)’ Video Star at LA Show

The Offspring reunite with the iconic video star for a nostalgic dance moment during their LA gig.

A Pretty Fly Reunion in Los Angeles

If you grew up in the late ’90s, you know Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) is a song that defined a generation’s quirky edge and punk pop vibe. So, imagine this: The Offspring bringing that vibe back to life on stage—literally—by reuniting with the original dancer from the video during their recent Los Angeles concert!

On August 29th, The Offspring rocked the Kia Forum in Inglewood, and as the show was winding down, something special happened. Frontman Dexter Holland teased the crowd with a promise: “There’s only one thing that can make this better right now... We need some dancing, some real pretty fly dancing. Do you know anyone who dances well? I’ve got someone in mind.” Before the audience could blink, out came Guy Cohen, the very same dancer who nailed those signature leg-hook moves in the ‘98 video.

“Please come up, pretty fly guy,” Dexter cheekily invited, and Cohen launched into his unforgettable dance as the band blasted the track to a roaring crowd. It was a moment steeped in nostalgia and pure joy—like revisiting an old favorite book and finding it still just as thrilling.

There’s something beautifully meta about this reunion—the dancer who helped catapult the band’s quirky hit to iconic status, returned to the stage to remind us all why Pretty Fly is still etched in our collective memory.

The Guy Behind The Moves

Guy Cohen’s dance moves weren’t just a footnote; they became part of the song’s legend. Directed by McG, who later soared in Hollywood directing blockbusters like Charlie’s Angels and Terminator Salvation, the video is a pop culture gem. Fun fact: The band initially wanted Seth Green for the “white guy” role, but Cohen’s charm and moves won the day. He even made a cameo in the follow-up video, Why Don’t You Get A Job?

Cohen’s stage presence isn’t new either—he famously joined The Offspring at Woodstock ’99, an intense festival etched in rock folklore. If you want a blast from the past, check out that legendary performance here:

Supercharged and Still Going Strong

This LA gig is part of The Offspring’s Supercharged Worldwide In ‘25 North American tour, wrapping up soon with stops in Washington, Utah, and Colorado. The tour supports their 11th studio album, Supercharged, which the band proudly described as “quintessentially Offspring.” Dexter Holland and guitarist Noodles spoke about how the album channels their early punk roots while also embracing collaborations with artists like Ed Sheeran, Brian May, and Yungblud, who acts as their hype-man.

“We’re just getting warmed up! I want to keep it going and I’m still looking for ways to make it bigger than it ever has been before,” said Noodles. “There are still parts of the world that we’ve never been to; we’ve never played Hong Kong and we’re going to Dubai for the first time soon. These are all things we’re looking forward to.”
