One of the first viral instances was a video of a young girl performing the dance uploaded in December of 2008: Soon after the SNL parody sketch, many YouTubers responded with similar parodies throughout the month. The music video features Beyoncé with Justin Timberlake: On November 15th, 2008, the very first parody sketch of "The Single Ladies" dance aired in an episode of Saturday Night Live that Beyoncé hosted. The format and choreography were inspired by Gwen Verdon's performance of Mexican Breakfast on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1969 Knowles premiered the music videoson MTV's Total Request Live show on October 13th, 2008. The video was made on a small budget due to the large amount spent on Beyonce's video for the title single If I Were A Boy. The original music video was directed by Jake Nava, and choreographed by Frank Gatson and JaQuel Knight. Much like Crank That Soulja Boy and Thom Yorke's Dance remixes, Beyoncé's dance moves from the music video have inspired an enormous amount of parody videos. The Single Ladies Dance is a viral dance sequence stemming from the music video for the 2008 single Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) by Beyoncé Knowles.
