Fan's Jokes #9 in English

I saw this guy imitating Michael Jackson's moonwalk dance. Although he was practicing really vigorously, his dance was too naive (ridiculous/embarassing) to watch. I couldn't help giving but give a pat on his shoulder, and said,"Son, would you please go back home to practice? You are almost humiliating Michael Jackson." He stopped, answered me in a blank look,"Who is Michael Jackson? I just stepped on a chewed some gum..."

Naive works by definition, but most people don't use it in this way. I would use embarassing, as it indicates his performance is so awkward/bad/ridiculous that I'm embarassed for him.
