Jim Delos dancing is the best part of Westworld right now. by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman May 14, 2018 12:54 PM UTC Jim, the dancing don of Delos’ oddball jig on [_Westworld_](http://time.com/5244602/westworld-season-2-robot-prank/), has bestowed upon us with some excellent meme material. [_Westworld_](http://time.com/5243701/evan-rachel-wood-equal-pay-male-co-workers-westworld/) asks a lot of questions, but as for how Jim Delos (Peter Mullen) likes to let loose, we have our answer. Jim’s life on this show is bleak central. But that doesn’t mean he can’t have a little fun. On Sunday’s episode “The Riddle of the Sphnix,” the fourth installment of _Westworld_ Season 2, Jim Delos (or some version of him) really gets down to the British rock band Roxy Music’s 1973 song “Do the Strand.” This never-freer corporate overlord swings his arms, “jump-ropes” backward and dances like no one is watching. But everyone’s watching. It’s _Westworld_, and he’s living in a very fancy fishbowl. The head honcho may have played a major role by investing in [William’s (Jimmi Simpson](http://time.com/5247082/westworld-season-2-reunion-recap/)) creepy vision for the park. But somehow, this dance matters more now. Thank you, Jim, for bringing a lot more cheer to the dreary picture. It’s only a matter of time before his moves become an Internet obsession. _Westworld_ airs Sunday nights on HBO. > [](https://twitter.com/Quinstiff/status/995838893755846656) > [](https://twitter.com/hannah%5Ft3/status/995868377620078593) > [](https://twitter.com/michejaw/status/995840196250951681) > [](https://twitter.com/iamadriandev/status/995896990968856577) > [](https://twitter.com/DMosesGriffin/status/995847104907042816) > [](https://twitter.com/BadgrGrl21/status/995838836252037121) > [](https://twitter.com/moZus78/status/995918992706555905) > [](https://twitter.com/Vrtlnsanity/status/995838893114048512) > [](https://twitter.com/kayleeee/status/995838699710697482) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5246062/westworld-season-2-delos-dance/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5246062/westworld-season-2-delos-dance/"},"headline":"Westworld Has Delivered a Beautiful New Dance Meme-in-the-Making","datePublished":"2018-05-14T12:54:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:17.722Z","description":"We see you, Jim Delos","url":"https://time.com/5246062/westworld-season-2-delos-dance/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt323071de97defef8/6989300aab6d7748e16b29eb/84fa97bf6a3018bfcd5c5b8b31b7bb1a5d04ab2f28ea20242466e3a29999c4c3f700c57bc11f9ea5372d99747fa73d02.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt323071de97defef8/6989300aab6d7748e16b29eb/84fa97bf6a3018bfcd5c5b8b31b7bb1a5d04ab2f28ea20242466e3a29999c4c3f700c57bc11f9ea5372d99747fa73d02.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"84fa97bf6a3018bfcd5c5b8b31b7bb1a5d04ab2f28ea20242466e3a29999c4c3f700c57bc11f9ea5372d99747fa73d02","caption":"Jim Delos on Westworld","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/5246062/westworld-season-2-delos-dance/","name":"Westworld Has Delivered a Beautiful New Dance Meme-in-the-Making"}}]}] ```
