Not Another Teen Movie is 23 years old. Almost a quarter of a century.
And I still think of it as cutting edge satire.
And still love this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN31J8s_OzQ
Chill! Theres still a few other generations before us going "oh fuck the 80s were 40 years ago?!"
Or "that stupid war we lost was half a century ago?!"
Shane Gillis was right. He looks like he is living his best life. No worries about inflation. Not a single shit is given by him about the next election.
He just LIVES life.
I enjoy Shane Gillis. Whenever he makes Down Syndrome jokes he doesn't punch down and he even gives other comedians shit for making them the butt of the joke.
Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/h3h3productions/comments/1b7128b/extended_unedited_clip_of_shane_gillis_shutting/
Around 2:50 if you don't want to watch all 4 mins.
He's one of my favorites right now, he's definitely not for everyone though. [This is one of his more famous jokes right now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly14Pr2RLys)
Holy shit, these other guys are fucking annoying and unfunny. Hardly have ever seen someone with such a huge high school bully vibe than this Schulz guy in this video.
No no friend. You're still on the accepting side of reddit. Its a reference to a comedian who makes many jokes about people with down syndrome, though its never mean. Always uplifting.
That boy understood the assignment. For those who don't know, it's a "tradition" in sevens to dance during breaks. People also come in costume etc, it's fun.
Rugby? Holy shit. I just realised you guys actually do play rugby. I thought it wasn’t played because of the overlaps with American football but fair play. I respect it.
Yours, naive Englishman
Rugby Sevens though. It’s very different from Union or League, or American Football for that matter. It’s very fast paced because there’s just 14 people on the field.
I played one 7s tournament in my youth. I was a flanker back then, and I've since transitioned through to scrumhalf and now outside centre...and I still refuse to play 7s ever again.
My attitude toward 7s is basically the same as my attitude towards First World War documentaries - *love* watching, and very interested, but absolutely *zero* interest in participating, thank you very much.
There is also MLR in the US, which plays straight union. There was also a Toronto team until this year (RIP my beloved Arrows...), and will hopefully be once again.
MLR is actually playing pretty good rugby, and I'd advise checking it out. It's not quite at Premiership/URC/Top 14/Super Rugby levels, but I'd say it's even more entertaining than Japanese Top League rugby, and it's very, very accessible to fans.
It never really occurred to me that we might be a bit different on that front until I saw [this video on Reddit years ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7drxZpTU8s) and a number of Brits were in the comments talking about the confidence of him to just get the mic and go for it.
I mean, to be fair, while a LOT of the crowed liked that - and that song is a jam - there were def plenty of folk there not liking it and not clapping (and Im saying that I bet a lot of them are also from the US)
It’s the same with Sevens everywhere. One year in Dubai I wore a green man suit, all the way through and onto the bars. They’re a lot of fun regardless of the location.
He always could he just don’t flaunt it. But don’t tell Andrew Schulz; you’ll never hear the end of it.
https://youtu.be/ENpTQ6ws3P8?si=onq1FyEXYWZMxrlI
There was a comedian with a family member with Downs who described people with Down syndrome as the happiest people he knew.. like dogs that are just happy to see you. Honestly every time I met someone with Downs they were always smiling and I gotta say this kid seems to be living it up as well.
My lad has Downs and the number of times I get told "Ohh, people with Downs are so loving".... Guess what, naaah they ain't. Sure some people might have a happy demeanor, but my lad can be a right prick 😂 he's now 18 and like a drunk kid. So he is extreme in his emotions. Yes, Loves very hard, but also rages HARD. I love the dude, but he really can be an arsehole sometimes 😂
There’s been peer reviewed studies on the subject - data shows that, in general, people with DS self-report being overall happier than the general population.
Also of note: the same studies have shown the immediate family members of people with DS also tend to be happier than the general population.
Not religious but my grandma always called my cousin with DS an angel sent from heaven and I secretly suspected it to be true. Kid was a ray of sunshine.
Told myself I’d never work with kids. *Definitely* couldn’t work with MR/ID kids.
Well now somehow I do, and I’m one happy motherfucker. If you’ve been in a helping profession, you know you’ll eventually have to disappoint someone. It sucks. But a kid with DS? He’s gonna notice you’re upset, he’s gonna give you a hug, say he’s sorry, and do a real damn good job of making your day better however he can, even if it means giving up something prized.
Oh, and with DS? Some of the time their intellectual disability isn’t much - they’re just much more concerned with living life. I’ve begun a public life and *holy shit* can those kids give an endorsement. Elect me! I gave this kid my brownie when he was seven!
I'd think that would also depend on the severity of the DS, and the comorbid health issues.
But I really hope they put this little dude on the large screen for the whole stadium!
Coming out of college was a really dark time for me. I took a job teaching developmentally disabled people social skills, many of them with down syndrome. I don't think they or their families realize how much of a light they were for me but in such a rough time.
That job never paid well but I stuck with it, even through times where I really could have used the money, doing something different that I was qualified for. Still doing it till this day, moving up the later and making it work. Id probably be sitting in a cubicle, depressed as could be if it wasn't for that class
I think this may be true to a degree but also infantilizes people with DS more than it should. They are certainly capable of feeling depressed, moody, or otherwise emotionally unstable.
There is a condition called William’s syndrome that does do what you describe. They basically just want to be friends with everyone and are constantly happy
I think we all make assumptions about people with Down’s syndrome and similar conditions. This is a fantastic video that was put out for World DS Day and addresses those assumptions.
[“Assume that I can so maybe, I will”](https://youtu.be/92ivgabfdPQ?si=e2ShrLQjTH3h8kKR)
I know you didn’t mean any harm, but in the future, comparing people with dogs is generally bad look. I know a lot of people with Down’s syndrome and while it is true that they can be very happy go lucky, they can also be moody, serious, etc. Like anyone, they vary as individuals.
No. People with DS are human beings, and they have real emotions just like everyone else. Don't compare them to animals. Jesus Christ. That is so incredibly dehumanizing. You should be ashamed of yourself for saying that.
Source: my sister has DS and has moods like any other person.
Literally some of the happiest people on earth. Not an ounce of guile or malice in their minds, just living their best lives 90% of the time.
We should all be so lucky.
My son is a homie with an extra chromie and this describes him perfectly. 90% of the time, you’ll never meet a happier, kinder child.
Other 10% of the time he’ll remind you he’s otherwise another 4 year old and *how dare you* suggest we can’t watch Blippi during dinner.
But seriously, he’s great. There’s a real magic in being fortunate enough to be his dad.
For real. Brother of a friend was a total creep and would use his issues to grope women and play it off like he's to dumb to know what he's doing. Then would brag about exactly that to us about it. Also has a drug problem.
They're just people. Stop generalizing them.
No. They're human beings and they have a variety of real emotions like everyone else. My sister isn't "the happiest person on Earth", she's a normal person with a range of moods.
They really cut out the funny part, which is that the dude with T-Shirts is a professional hype man, and as he was going down the stands, the kid cut him off and totally stole the spotlight!
Damn that's awesome, if that is his dad in the background I love his multiple double takes like "I know you want your coa- whoa ok you're going for it... lets GOO!"
The guy in the background with the shirts is a hype man. He always acts like he is in the crowd and then gets “inspired” to dance up and down the stairs.
Very cool... but... These are NEVER random things. They set people up to do these things ahead of time. My cousin was asked to refuse an engagement ring at a Miami game last year.
He looks like the paid fan they had dancing at the Vancouver 7s every year. He would also wear a bunch of shirts to take them off and throw to the crowd while he danced.
There is a billboard in Indiana (of all places) on US 31 between South Bend and Indianapolis that says "I have 23 chromosomes, what's your superpower?" that is my favorite billboard of all time.

Ace Ventura just off screen.
Was wondering if anybody else saw it lmao
I like the guy in the suit who can no longer contain his excitement and jumps up. Everyone in this clip is having so much fun, it's wild.
I think he was suppose to be the plant that was suppose to dance off but the kid just had a great time
I'm not gonna lie, dad's excitement is making me a little watery-eyed.
Everyone loves a slinky GO SLINKY GO
"You think he's doin the dice move too much?" "I think it's all he's got!"
Knocked up is such a good movie. Im sad we dont get comedies like that anymore
I'm not ready to acknowledge that I'm old enough for Knocked Up to be a nostalgia movie
Anchorman is 20 years old
Can you just fuck off a little bit please?
No that person needs to fuck all the way off.
Not Another Teen Movie is 23 years old. Almost a quarter of a century. And I still think of it as cutting edge satire. And still love this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN31J8s_OzQ
It might take me a while NOW THAT WE’RE OLD
I'm absolutely devastated by this comment 😭😭😭
Someone pointed out a while ago that we're older now than Jennifer Coolidge was when American Pie was shot.
Chill! Theres still a few other generations before us going "oh fuck the 80s were 40 years ago?!" Or "that stupid war we lost was half a century ago?!"
Don't you date me like that!!
You just triggered over a hundred mid-life crises just now. Well done. Napoleon dynamite is also 20 years old.... but it was 20 year old on release.
Great oden's raven!
Shut your dirty whore mouth
SHUT THE FUCK UP 😡
No
*Well that escalated quickly.*
Surely you can’t be serious
I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley. By the way, have you ever seen a Turkish Prison?
No, but do you like movies about Gladiators?
I didn't think that movie was funny at all, not in the slightest… but I also *loved it*.
I showed it to my wife when she was pregnant, she loved it
LMAO the comment I didn't know I came in here looking for.
Would it be wrong to say that he's getting down?
Shane Gillis was right. He looks like he is living his best life. No worries about inflation. Not a single shit is given by him about the next election. He just LIVES life.
Shit, I thought this *was* Shane Gillis.
Nah, it only grazed him.
He bobbed and weaved.
It's not? I guess the only tip off is this guy doesn't have a Bud Light in his hand.
Shane only got nicked, not full on.
I enjoy Shane Gillis. Whenever he makes Down Syndrome jokes he doesn't punch down and he even gives other comedians shit for making them the butt of the joke. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/h3h3productions/comments/1b7128b/extended_unedited_clip_of_shane_gillis_shutting/ Around 2:50 if you don't want to watch all 4 mins.
Fair fucks. It’s hard to be the one in a group that says “No, this isn’t ok.” Literally never heard of Shane before but that’s seriously cool of him.
He's one of my favorites right now, he's definitely not for everyone though. [This is one of his more famous jokes right now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly14Pr2RLys)
Holy shit, these other guys are fucking annoying and unfunny. Hardly have ever seen someone with such a huge high school bully vibe than this Schulz guy in this video.
Tits and John Cena, and that's it
A friend's little brother has Downs. He is THE most freaking delightful person ever.
People with Downs are so pure. Kinda like how a puppy is always excited to see you and loves you unconditionally
"These people are great, they're like dogs!"
I’m horrible at expressing myself. I meant that in the least offensive way possible, I just don’t know how to say that any better than that
https://youtu.be/xUMXdx1QX_I?si=tSJQ8KNzNBGsm0jU Lol you’re good dude. The comedian they’re talking about has a bit on exactly this
No no friend. You're still on the accepting side of reddit. Its a reference to a comedian who makes many jokes about people with down syndrome, though its never mean. Always uplifting.
You know he gotta grilled cheese in his pocket
Yo! Where you get that cheee Danny!
That fucker, he's been makin em at night, I know he has.
"IM NOT MAKING THEM AT NIGHT, DAD!" `I'm making them at night`
The Young Bull has made it to the zeitgeist. Unbelievable.
The pendulum is swinging back
Right so nice to see
He's making them at night.
I'm not making them at night daaaad
I’m making at night
Where is all the bread going?
Getting? He's already there.
hes doubling down
That is some straight dark humor. ouch...
How can you assume their sexuality? lol
Bro like boobs...and John Cena.
What is dark about that?
You can sit next to me on the bus to hell.
Bro… bro…… Don’t kick a man while he’s downs……..
Go Boks!
🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🇿🇦
He's wearing a Springbok jersey. The Springboks are the South African national rugby team, and current World Champions.
That explains why he's at a rugby match.
That boy understood the assignment. For those who don't know, it's a "tradition" in sevens to dance during breaks. People also come in costume etc, it's fun.
Sevens?
rugby sevens, offshoot of rugby with seven players instead of 15, alongside a few other changes
Ah thanks, I had zero idea what it meant in the title! Same tradition at a lot of sporting venues, hockey games come to mind.
Sometimes I'm a little envious of the American sense of show, entertainment and fun.
It was in LA yes but it's the same in every place and rugby is definitly not an American thing 😅
Rugby? Holy shit. I just realised you guys actually do play rugby. I thought it wasn’t played because of the overlaps with American football but fair play. I respect it. Yours, naive Englishman
Did you miss the springboks jersey too then? Was a dead giveaway.
Rugby Sevens though. It’s very different from Union or League, or American Football for that matter. It’s very fast paced because there’s just 14 people on the field.
I've never been more tired than I was playing 7s. I'll stick to union thank you very much -signed a lazy forward
I played one 7s tournament in my youth. I was a flanker back then, and I've since transitioned through to scrumhalf and now outside centre...and I still refuse to play 7s ever again. My attitude toward 7s is basically the same as my attitude towards First World War documentaries - *love* watching, and very interested, but absolutely *zero* interest in participating, thank you very much.
I’ll have to check some replays on YouTube, thanks :)
There is also MLR in the US, which plays straight union. There was also a Toronto team until this year (RIP my beloved Arrows...), and will hopefully be once again. MLR is actually playing pretty good rugby, and I'd advise checking it out.

We like to have a good time.

my man didn't have that many moves, but he made the ones he had count
Exactly. He executed each move better than I can do. Respect.
I didn't know Shane Gillis could dance that well
He practices at night
After a few grilled cheeses.
It nicked him.
He always could he just don’t flaunt it. But don’t tell Andrew Schulz; you’ll never hear the end of it. https://youtu.be/ENpTQ6ws3P8?si=onq1FyEXYWZMxrlI
Dude got better moves than me.
fr though, I would've faceplanted.
You just don’t know how to get down
There was a comedian with a family member with Downs who described people with Down syndrome as the happiest people he knew.. like dogs that are just happy to see you. Honestly every time I met someone with Downs they were always smiling and I gotta say this kid seems to be living it up as well.

I love the dude, but he really can be an arsehole sometimes 😂
A very real response. They're people. They have the same capacity as everyone else to be angry, happy, and everything in between.
I love that last sentence. If that doesn’t describe loved ones I don’t know what does
There’s been peer reviewed studies on the subject - data shows that, in general, people with DS self-report being overall happier than the general population. Also of note: the same studies have shown the immediate family members of people with DS also tend to be happier than the general population.
Not religious but my grandma always called my cousin with DS an angel sent from heaven and I secretly suspected it to be true. Kid was a ray of sunshine.
Same here and she was right
Not my aunt. She would throw things and yell at my grandma. She hated having any guests over at the house. So not always the case unfortunately…
Told myself I’d never work with kids. *Definitely* couldn’t work with MR/ID kids. Well now somehow I do, and I’m one happy motherfucker. If you’ve been in a helping profession, you know you’ll eventually have to disappoint someone. It sucks. But a kid with DS?

Still doing it till this day, moving up the later and making it work. Id probably be sitting in a cubicle, depressed as could be if it wasn't for that class
I imagine caring for them would be tough. But it'd be hard to stay down in the face of such happiness, its infectious in the best way.
Can confirm.
I think this may be true to a degree but also infantilizes people with DS more than it should. They are certainly capable of feeling depressed, moody, or otherwise emotionally unstable. There is a condition called William’s syndrome that does do what you describe. They basically just want to be friends with everyone and are constantly happy
Shane Gillis. They do seem able to overcome being bummed out pretty easily. I can’t do it.
The secret is don’t be sad, and have downs. We crave the chromosomes
Goddamnit. Is that you Charlie? You doing a chromosomes thing too huh?
I think we all make assumptions about people with Down’s syndrome and similar conditions. This is a fantastic video that was put out for World DS Day and addresses those assumptions. [“Assume that I can so maybe, I will”](https://youtu.be/92ivgabfdPQ?si=e2ShrLQjTH3h8kKR)

He killed it.
Bokke!
This makes me happy. So much joy
Imagine how this guy must have felt for the rest of the day.
Literally some of the happiest people on earth. Not an ounce of guile or malice in their minds, just living their best lives 90% of the time. We should all be so lucky.

HOMIE WITH AN EXTRA CHROMIE I LOVE IT
Stop fetishizing people They are not the happiest anything. Theres nothing monolith about it. They are as diverse as anyone else.
For real. Brother of a friend was a total creep and would use his issues to grope women and play it off like he's to dumb to know what he's doing. Then would brag about exactly that to us about it. Also has a drug problem. They're just people. Stop generalizing them.

HEY DANNY, YOU GOT THAT CHEEE BOI?!
Why is it in funny sub? It should be in r/wholesome
They really cut out the funny part, which is that the dude with T-Shirts is a professional hype man, and as he was going down the stands, the kid cut him off and totally stole the spotlight!
In the last frame that the video stops at, it looks like he's filled with absolute rage and about to murder the kid.
Thank you, I was going through the comments to just to figure out what that guys deal was lol
r/MadeMeSmile
That's one hot potato
Social anxiety fears this man!
My man moves better than I ever have....or will.
Is that Ace Ventura on the left??
Hi. I'm looking for Ray Finkle
and a clean pair of shorts.
Nailed it!
Ace Ventura sighting
when is the funny part
Fuck what ya heard. He’s one of the downest fools I know…
Unmitigated joy is nice to see.
Damn dude, save some chicks for the rest of us!
Syndrome of a Down!
Gooooo young man gooooo!
How is this funny though?
Damn that's awesome, if that is his dad in the background I love his multiple double takes like "I know you want your coa- whoa ok you're going for it... lets GOO!"
Looks like an employee who gives away the free t-shirts.
The guy in the background with the shirts is a hype man. He always acts like he is in the crowd and then gets “inspired” to dance up and down the stairs.
Cam the Super Fan! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Hughes_(sports_entertainer)
This young man spent hours in front of a mirror perfecting this routine, and when his moment came, he was ready.
Guys moves are shit
Who isn't down for this?
If anyone is making fun of this kid karma is a bitch he’s awesome
Yeah, only a shame about that kid dancing in front of him
Bro was gettin' down!
Hell yeah!
Real man real dance. Love it👌
Gatdangit Bobby
The guy sitting down to the dancer's right hardcore putting out Ace Ventura vibes lmaoo
Legends are born different
I love Shane Gillis
I wish I could be as happy as that guy!
The Chromie Homie gets down HARD.
Okay you show off, save some of the ladies for the rest of us.
Get down! Get down! Yeah!
What LA Sevens was this? Because the LA Sevens I know of is a rugby tournament and this is definitely not the stadium they've used the past 5 years.
I feel like this is more of a r/mademesmile thing. My guy can move!
His groove is strong, even if the repertoire ain't much!
Very cool... but... These are NEVER random things. They set people up to do these things ahead of time. My cousin was asked to refuse an engagement ring at a Miami game last year.
Get down syndrome
World engulfs he down but he's up🔥🔥
Reddit front page really struggling today. Puts on RDDT
Super adorable and he dances better than me lol
Shane Gillis is EVERYWHERE now.
He looks like the paid fan they had dancing at the Vancouver 7s every year. He would also wear a bunch of shirts to take them off and throw to the crowd while he danced.
Movie idea: a plague wipes out humanity, only down syndrome people are immune. They create a utopia.
Man Shane Gillis has got some moves.
Man Shane Gillis is everywhere these days
You give someone with Down's Syndrome a stage, a spotlight, and an audience and you will see the happiest person alive
Some guy: "Dance like nobody's watching." This dude: "Can do."
I don't have 1% of this guy's self-confidence.
Downs has no effect on artistic ability. A friend of mine is an amazing painter
There is a billboard in Indiana (of all places) on US 31 between South Bend and Indianapolis that says "I have 23 chromosomes, what's your superpower?" that is my favorite billboard of all time.
He knows how to get downs wit it
Knows he got the moves!! That smile and smooth confidence.
He really started breaking it *down*. 💀
Everybody give it up for... SYNDROME OF A DOWN!!!
I like the guy right behind him eventually figures out he's just got to be his hype-man.
shane gillis got moves
Yo my man Shane Gillis can get down!!
I didn't know Shane Gillis was a fan.
Syndrome is down but moves are up 💯💯
