  I just saw that a TikTok trend involves filming your friends going out to see the new minions movie in suits: https://www.distractify.com/p/minions-movie-tiktok-trend https://www.distractify.com/p/minions-movie-tiktok-trend It’s getting some credit for a ticket sale bump. I wonder if the joke for some kids isn’t just that the minions are lame but movies as a whole are lame?

    It’s Morbin’ Time (Morbius) was a similar recent joke where the comedy came from pretending a bad movie was good.

    I recall reading that was a TikTok scheme created by a marketing agency for the opening of the movie in the Israeli market. And yes, it helped drive a better opening weekend than was normally projected.

    I just think it's a cyclical response to life becoming increasingly casual. In my public high school (~2005), we started doing "Formal Fridays" where we would dress up in suits. It was just a dumb, ironic fad that spanned multiple cliques and essentially went viral. At its peak, one enterprising friend bought a gross of hideous yellow-and-black "swiss cheese ties" and started selling them. Teachers were extremely concerned that it was some sort of gang/hidden meaning thing... But I digress. Altogether, I think it's good for the industry that kids are gathering at movie theaters again and doing things like this that make memories.
