Frank the Tank and Rico Bosco bomb dancing at The Stool premiere
TLDR: Barstool's brand-new dance competition show launched Sunday night, and Frank The Tank and Rico Bosco's routine turned into the first viral disaster of the series.
Barstool rolled out a new competition show this weekend called Dancing At The Stool, pitting 4 teams against each other with, as the promo puts it, zero dance experience whatsoever. It's the kind of low-stakes, high-chaos format the company does well, and the first episode dropped Sunday night with a stage, a live crowd and a full cast of Barstool regulars trying to actually choreograph something.
4 teams. 4 dances. Zero experience whatsoever. Dancing With the Stool is here
It didn't take long for one moment to become the episode's defining bit. Rico Bosco posted his own clip of himself walking up to a wall and just leaning his back against it next to a woman standing beside him, captioned simply "110%" — full commitment to a bit that, by any measure, is not a dance move.
The wall lean got the whole roster piling on. Big Cat asking whether the wall consented was the funniest read on it, and it turned Bosco into the episode's punching bag before the first episode had even finished airing — which, for a show this new, is either a disaster or exactly the kind of chaos that gets people watching episode 2.
Tommy Smokes wasn't spared either. A separate rehearsal clip shows a partner-lift move going about as smoothly as you'd expect from a cast with, again, zero dance experience — someone in the room can be heard reacting with a flat "that's gonna be a problem," attributed to Tommy in the caption.
None of this has hit outside Barstool's own accounts yet — it's a same-night, in-house viral moment, not a story any national outlet has touched. But that's kind of the point of a show like this: it doesn't need press coverage to work, it needs Frank The Tank and Rico Bosco to be the bit people are still quoting a week from now. Based on episode 1, that part's already locked in.
