funny walk
Silly way moving
A funny walk is an exaggerated, silly, or unconventional way of moving on foot, often performed for comedic effect.
The term is strongly associated with Monty Python's "Ministry of Silly Walks" sketch, where bureaucrats demonstrate absurdly contorted gaits.
More broadly, any deliberately awkward or theatrical manner of walking: The kids were doing funny walks down the hallway.
