- This page is about the event. For other uses, see The Harlem Shakeover (disambiguation).
The Harlem Shakeover was a channel event in 2022 where Ajit Pai took over SiIvaGunner. It began on the tenth anniversary of the release of "Harlem Shake".
Background[]
- See also: King for a Day Tournament and King for Another Day Tournament
Ajit Pai was a contestant in the King for a Day tournaments. In the first tournament, he lost to Thanos and was promptly snapped out of existence. He then returned in the second tournament as Metal Ajit Pai, but was defeated once again. As seen in "Hello :)", he returned yet again after his ashes were scattered over the SiIvaGunner mainframe, resulting in him reincarnating as a virtual assistant on SiIvaGunner's computer and forcefully taking over the channel.
Prior to this event, the name "The Harlem Shakeover" had been mentioned several times, including directly after his inclusion in the first tournament was announced,[1] in the title for Ajit's first promotional rip, and a few more times on the King for Another Day Tournament MOJO!!.[2][3]
Theme[]
The channel banner was changed to have two added images of Ajit Pai from the infamous "PSA from Chairman of the FCC Ajit Pai" video and the sky and the inside of the lighthouse colored orange, while the channel's avatar was changed to a 2018 portrait of Ajit. The channel description was changed to:
Hi, I'm Ajit Pai. Former chairman of the FCC. Recently there's been quite a bit of conversation about my plan to execute the Harlem Shakeover. Here are just a few of the things you'll still be able to do on the SiIvaGunner channel after after the KFAD-era regulations have been repealed:
- You can still upload high quality video game rips
- You can still submit mashups
- You can still download albums
- You can still binge your favorite rips
- You can still laugh at your favorite jokes
- You can still drive memes right into the ground
And everything else you ever did on SiIvaGunner.
Like, everything.
All of it.
ALL OF IT.
(All content is willingly submitted by a team of content creators; if you use a video for your content, please credit the channel, and do not monetize it if said content consists primarily of/is centered around the video in question.)
Additionally, the @GiIvaSunner Twitter account was changed to have an image of the caricatured Ajit as its avatar, its location changed to Harlem, and its bio changed to an edited version of what was the real Ajit Pai's bio at the time:[4]
Former FCC Chairman, now host of SiIvaGunner. Indian-American, Kansan, husband, dad, Chiefs fan. I own a high quality mug.
Starting on May 28, the channel's avatar was regularly changed to become progressively more zoomed-in. After the upload of "PSA from Former Chairman of the FCC Ajit Pai", the channel returned to normal 4 hours later while the Twitter account returned to normal on June 2. The channel's featured video was changed back to "Athletic Theme (PAL Version) - Super Mario World" sometime later.
Rips uploaded[]
All rips uploaded during this event feature "Harlem Shake", a song included in Ajit Pai's King for a Day tournament source lists as a reference to the "PSA from Chairman of the FCC Ajit Pai" video. Certain videos related to "Harlem Shake" were regularly referenced, such as the opening segment of "FILTHY COMPILATION #6 - SMELL MY FINGERS" by DizastaMusic (the very first "Harlem Shake" video), "The Harlem Shake v1 (TSCS original)" by TheSunnyCoastSkate (the video that started the "Harlem Shake" meme), and "SpongeBob,Patrick,Mr Krabs & Squidward Does The Harlem Shake" (a YTPMV fad). The catchphrase was changed to "You can still read the channel description."
Rips were initially uploaded every two hours. This was changed to every hour on May 24, then to every 30 minutes on May 27, then every 15 minutes on May 29. On May 30, the rip "Athletic Theme (PAL Mix) - Super Mario World" was set as the channel's featured video after being uploaded, replacing "Athletic Theme (PAL Version) - Super Mario World". Near the end of May 30, several rips of VVVVVV were uploaded, all under the mix name "PS Vita Version", ending with the release of HHHHHH, a mod for the game that replaces its soundtrack with the event's rips. The upload rate then returned to hourly on May 31, during which most rips uploaded were related to boss battle themes. At the end of the day, "Trailer Theme - Kolo Terorita" was uploaded to announce the release of Kolo Terorita, an original video game based on the event. The event then concluded on June 1 with the release of the album The Harlem Shakeover.
Three brief pauses occurred during the event after certain uploads, possibly as fake-outs to make it seem like the event had ended:
- On May 27, after the release of "Sneed - Friday Night Funkin': VS. /v/ (Zord Edition)".
- On May 29, after the premiere of "Main Theme - SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake".
- On May 31, after the release of "Don't Forget (OST Version) - Deltarune".

Wanted to give a quick shout-out to the fan artists who've drawn my big mug over the last week (and the thing I drink out of too)! If you've got art of me (or those other, staler meme guys), using the hashtag #siivagunner is the best way to get it seen - you could even get a RT! | |

SiIvaGunner's antivirus has activated, and it wants to the delete the Harlem Shake by force! Play as Ajit Pai and use your weapons to defend the Harlem Shakeover at all costs. Newgrounds: https://newgrounds.com/portal/view/84… itch.io: https://giivasunner.itch.io/kolo-terorita |
Trivia[]
- With 323 videos uploaded over the course of 10 days, this is the second-largest channel event in SiIvaGunner history, behind only the King for Another Day Tournament itself.[5] Ironically, it was even larger than the DJ Professor K Takeover (which had 250 uploads over 9 days).
- This is the first event to directly utilize a King for a Day contestant that did not win, followed by Alien Day.
- It could be considered the second, if counting Cartoon Network Day (which effectively used Johnny Bravo's sourcelist, though it was never shown to be a takeover by him); note that The Harlem Shakeover only uses "Harlem Shake", rather than Ajit Pai's full sourcelist from either tournament (though some of his other sources were referenced during the event, particularly "Reese's Puffs Rap" by RV & Terrence, it was always alongside "Harlem Shake").
- The event's avatar progressing through multiple phases is similar to the second Inspector Gadget Takeover, another infamous channel event which lasted several days and largely focused on one source.
- On June 15, three subject removal edits involving "Harlem Shake"-related videos were uploaded in a row. This was likely done to reference the ending of the Harlem Shakeover, in which Ajit Pai was put into the computer's recycle bin.

(381), DoomFes (498), The Cult of Proto (363) and the Return of The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis (484) are also larger.
