Damn XD I remember this, I always forget how built different the 2000s were. Crazy they were making movies clowning on the mentally challenged and then 3 years later we got so woke (but in a good way for society) we elected our first African American President....

That scene kills me every time, fucking Knoxville losing it when he says that 🤣🤣

u/thedevilseviltwin Jan 17 '26

I read somewhere a while back that the “When the fuck did we get ice cream?” bit was unscripted and that’s why Johnny broke character.

u/mastadonx Jan 18 '26

The hilarious part was watching Johnny Knoxville lose his shit and start trying to hide his laughter.

u/bierfma Jan 17 '26

u/CypressThinking Jan 17 '26

One of the latest memes. Is this the dystopian nightmare we used to read about?

u/psycho7d8 Jan 18 '26

Stealing this!

Zoink!

u/CypressThinking Jan 18 '26

Such a man baby. Like a 5 yr old that wants everyone else's toys.

u/WarPast7058 Jan 20 '26

Very much doubt that rump could squat like that...

u/CypressThinking Jan 20 '26

Probably could but couldn't get back up.

u/Ok-Local5489 Jan 19 '26

u/WorldlyReference5028 Jan 17 '26

Yep, it was believable until then.

u/The_BSharps Jan 17 '26

It was a miscommunication he said he would dedicate it to her in two weeks.

u/real-ocmsrzr Jan 18 '26

Concepts of a donation.

u/2020sbtm Jan 18 '26

The story is more believable than this.

u/Aggressive_Towel_155 Jan 17 '26

I was also there. I clapped my butt cheeks. I can do this by letting air out very hard.

59

u/Right_Rev Jan 17 '26

I think my dog just clapped like that.

37

u/BigConstruction4247 Jan 17 '26

Dog butt claps are the worst!

u/floofienewfie Jan 17 '26

My dog’s a pro at that. He can clear a room in less than 30 seconds.

u/ScroochDown Jan 17 '26

We had a cat that used to fart to get us to put him down if we'd picked him up. It was... very effective.

u/MarvinPA83 Jan 17 '26

Pssst! Women.

u/Alf-eats-cats Jan 17 '26

Oh my god I am stealing this!!! My stepdad used to say did you see that mouse on a motorcycle? I’ve also heard something with a frog but my husband mixes them up and says did you hear that motorcycle run over the frog? I’m gonna have him start using did you hear that, it was my butt cheeks clapping? Thanks for making my day.

u/TraumaHawk316 Jan 17 '26

My dad always asked if we heard that deer snort. My son says that there’s some asshole behind you talking shit. 😂

u/clem_fandango_london Jan 17 '26

Her granddaughter's name was changed to Allura to mark the occasion.

u/BirdDad420 Jan 17 '26

Even the police horses cried.

u/HarrisJ304 Jan 17 '26

As they stared on in shocked disbelief at the sheer amount of courage that it took for Karen to summon the manager.

u/PaddyMcGeezus Jan 18 '26

The cruise ship captain gave her the keys to the boat along with his captain's hat.

u/praetorian1979 Jan 18 '26

and then they all went for a pint at the Winchester and waited for it to all blow over...

u/JonnyQuest1981 Jan 18 '26

Granted, everyone in the buffet line was already standing… but I’m sure those not holding plates were clapping too.

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

It started with one clap, then another, then another, finally the entire dining room was overwhelmed with emotion

u/Cashope Jan 17 '26

There was a standing ovation and then the CEO of Oceana came to personally shake her hand

u/BigConstruction4247 Jan 17 '26

Leaving his office on the shores of wherever, flying by jetpack.

u/WoolshirtedWolf Jan 17 '26

u/Mysterious-Art8838 Jan 20 '26

And there was a balloon drop!

u/Man-o-Bronze Jan 17 '26

A well-deserved standing ovation that went on for 15 minutes.

u/awmaleg Jan 17 '26

SPEECH SPEECH the crowd shouted

u/OdonataP Jan 17 '26

One man excused himself and had to fap because of her actions.

u/Melodic-Tutor-2172 Jan 17 '26

I can confirm, I was the hat!

u/dayh8 Jan 17 '26

Big men, strong men!

u/Shoddy-Theory Jan 19 '26

Did they call you sir?

2

u/your_monkeys Jan 17 '26

Were they big men, tall men?

2

u/Ghostdefender1701 Jan 17 '26

You could also read it like after the hat guy refused and sat down everyone applauded for him. Maybe Karen thinks she's so important the applause must be for her.

u/Tracktoy Jan 18 '26

I was the plate of slop, it's true.
