Found SR1 MP taunts in SR2 files!

They were hidden in plain site. I got confused because in the files taunts are called insults which I didn't know, so I didn't notice taunt_a b and c weren't what I assumed.
If you don't know, in SR1 single player there isn't any taunts and compliments (the saints can do some but it's not dynamic)
However, in the multiplayer with the D-PAD you can do these famous moves that new and old players alike just adore and use very often.
I love bringing pieces of the game that started it all and all it's features to the next best game.

FUN FACT: You can see an NPC do this dance in Saint's Row: The Cooler's trailer. Pretty awesome, its like a post-saints row 2 engine but not as polished as Saints Row 3, shows you how far back this goes.

Cool. Is there anyway to get them to work or is the files disabled in SR2?

It's in the files and everything.. but no one uses it.
You have to add them to preload_anim.tbl and find somewhere to put them, I just replaced a few taunts and compliments.
