YouTube’s Benjamin Roberts opted for _Dinosaurs_, the early ’90s sitcom that ran four (four!!!) seasons on ABC. The mashup is horrifying, as Earl Sinclair bounds around the frame with all the energy from the show’s run, distilled into four minutes. Earl is an imperfect stand-in for Christopher Wallace; the extinct papa Megalosaurus is nimbler and more expressive than Big Poppa was. There is a solid plus to this video compared with [the original](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glEiPXAYE-U "undefined"), though: There is no Puffy—or Puffy equivalent—stealing the limelight from the star. Maybe that assuring fact will stave off night terrors… Nope. There’s no way. Watch at your own risk. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/11/notorious-bigs-hypnotize-terrifyingly-performed-dinosaurs "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined")_._ _Read next:_ [_Watch Tom Hanks Lip Sync to Carly Rae Jepsen in Her ‘I Really Like You’ Video_](http://time.com/3736200/carly-rae-jepsen-i-really-like-you-video-tom-hanks/?iid=time%5Freadnext "undefined") [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3742084/dinos-lip-syncing-hypnotize/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3742084/dinos-lip-syncing-hypnotize/"},"headline":"Watch Dinosaurs Lip-Syncing to Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Hypnotize'","datePublished":"2015-03-12T14:00:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:17:36.776Z","description":"Heads up for potential nightmares","url":"https://time.com/3742084/dinos-lip-syncing-hypnotize/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Will Robinson / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3742084/dinos-lip-syncing-hypnotize/","name":"Watch Dinosaurs Lip-Syncing to Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Hypnotize'"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Man Alone in Las Vegas Airport Kills Time by Lip-Syncing Celine Dion's","description":"Man Alone in Las Vegas Airport Kills Time by Lip-Syncing Celine Dion's","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/CybKCVnZ/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-06-12T16:55:39.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/CybKCVnZ.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3742084/dinos-lip-syncing-hypnotize/","duration":"PT5M19S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3742084/dinos-lip-syncing-hypnotize/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
