CHELSEA — Think you've seen some bad performances during your subway commutes?

"The worst NYC subway act I've seen," a YouTube video posted on January 31 by Jon Brooks and shot at the 14th Street-6th Avenue subway station, is claiming to have you beat.

In the clip, two subway performers wearing military fatigues are seen performing an interpretive dance that involves a bunch of bizarre homemade props, some gyrating dance moves, walking handstands and epic background music.

The climax comes as the male performer grabs what looks like a pair of stuffed stockings and starts whacking them against the wall in a frenzy.

YouTube and Reddit commenters offered plenty of thoughts about the performance.
