Jimmy Fallon and Kate Upton Boogie Back To The 80s

by

Jimmy Fallon is known for providing us plenty of belly laughs with his crazy videos with guest stars on The Tonight Show. Never one to back down a challenge, he and his recent guest Kate Upton decided to take on old 80s dance moves. The duo made sure to dress the part as they copied dances from aerobic videos in this hilarious video.

80s Fitspiration

In the age of Social Media, many individuals have earned a blue check next to their name with fitness instagram accounts. Millions of people follow fitness trainers like Kayla Itsines and Jeanette Jenkins to attempt their heart-pumping workout routines. While it might seem a modern concept, getting in a sweat session to workout videos was a fad that took off in the 80s. Jazzercise and other dance workouts by 80s legends such as Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons were sure to get their audience moving in a colorful, crazy way. What better way to commemorate these memorable exercises than through a joint aerobic dance challenge?

A Color Coordinated Duo

If it’s one thing that stands out about fashion from the 80s, its the bright colors. Jimmy Fallon and Kate Upton knew they couldn’t properly recreate an 80s aerobic dance challenge without an outfit that suited. The two were decked out in headbands, leotards, scrunchies, and leggings of all different colors and prints that made viewers take an instant trip back in time.

A Modern Day Twist

The dance moves that the two performed were beyond ridiculous. It’s no wonder these didn’t make it to the 21st century! However, there were some similarities to some of the dance fads of today. Upton at one point commented, “That’s kind of like the Eighties version of the dab.” After their individual routines, the two then joined forces to attempt some partner routines. In reality there should have been a “don’t try this at home” warning, for some moves just looked outright dangerous! This challenge is definitely not for those who are lacking in the coordination department.

80s Flashdance

Naturally, Fallon and Upton’s routine could not truly be complete without attempting the famous “Flashdance” scene, even using real water. Upton, being a professional model, knew exactly how to pose her body for the scene. Whereas Jimmy... well he tried.

Green Shirt Guy Is The American Hero We Needed

by

There are certain situations that we find so uncomfortable and upsetting, that sometimes we don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Alex Kack of Tucson, Arizona, chose the former, as he burst into sidesplitting laughter during a City Council Meeting that Trump Supporters tried to disrupt. His response was so strong that he became an overnight Anti-Trump hero on social media, known as “Green Shirt Guy.”

Tucson Meets To Become A “Sanctuary City”

Tucson City Council called for a meeting to discuss putting the “Sanctuary City” measure on the city’s November ballot. This would make the city the first official immigrant-friendly city in all of Arizona, a contentious and relevant topic with the recent detainment camps and deportation raids in USA.

Trump Supporters Butt In

During the meeting, a woman and man wearing MAGA hats began protesting the “Sanctuary City” measure, spewing lots of anti-immigration opinions. Most people in the room began to boo the couple, and even began leaving the meeting. All the while, Alex Kack, who was wearing a green shirt and sitting near the couple, began to laugh uncontrollably, catching the camera man’s attention. He continued laughing as the two were escorted out by police to allow for the meeting to resume.

Twitter Applauds Green Shirt Guy

The infectious laughter of Kack turned into a trending hero on Twitter with the hashtag, #GreenShirtGuy. Even celebrities like Chrissy Teigen, Kathy Griffin, and Patton Oswalt shared their love for the reaction on Twitter. Kack’s laughter turned into the Gif and Meme we all needed, putting a positive spin to the moments when we want to just scream and yell at the ridiculousness of it all. A few golden Twitter moments are below.

Finally finding Trump’s Kryptonite…

An all-to-accurate representation of the international community’s response to America during these troubling times…

Move over Superman, America has a new hero in town.

And everyone wanted to be just like said hero, leading to the mass purchasing of the exact green shirt from Original Penguin.

What Green Shirt Guy Was Really Thinking

Alex Kack is a local activist who works on various liberal causes, including Peoples Defense Initiative and Tucson Families Free and Together. He is working towards passing the “Sanctuary City” measure, for he believes “Families deserve to be together and all people deserve the right to feel safe.”

As for his nonstop laughter, Kack admits to laughing at the absurdity of the situation, for “Who has the time in their day to come into a public space just to spread hatred and negativity? Like honestly what happened that made them so ridiculous and hateful?”

Words well spoken. We are hoping the green shirt becomes the ultimate antithesis to all Red MAGA hats.

We Are “Wowing” At The Latest Meme Of Drake

by

Drake and Chris Brown are two of the most successful hip hop artists, so when they produce a track together you know it’s going to be a bop. Their song collaboration “No Guidance” has already made its way to the Billboard Top 100, and fans were ecstatic for the release of the video, which came out Friday. However, it wasn’t the video itself that got all the attention, so much as this unimpressed frame of Drake during the “dance battle” scene.

A Throwback To Drake’s Degrassi Days

Although most people know him as the Grammy winning rapper, Drake first rose to stardom via his role on the Canadian hit series, Degrassi. However, we can’t help but think his acting skills have become a little rusty since his departure in 2009. However, his flat unimpressed face, waving raised hands, and the HILARIOUS “Ooo, wow”  he lets out really does a number for comically expressing how we feel in many life scenarios. So much, that it turned into a popular meme overnight…

The Unemployed Grad

Any recent graduate cane relate to this painfully accurate meme. The post-grad job hunt can seem like one of the most difficult processes in the world, and really makes you question the time and money put in to get that piece of paper…

What A Vision

As a glasses and lenses wearer since the ripe age of 7, I can fully admit how annoying it is when someone brags about their perfect vision. Wow, COOL man!

“Not Like The Other Guys”

Ah, the classic d-bag one liner. This is when all red flags go up, and lack of amusement is at an all time high. With so many guys claiming to be different, it’s no wonder Hot Girl Summer took off so quickly! (Men, take notes.)

Drake As Cheating Tristan Thompson

OOP! He went there! This tweet dives right into the ongoing Kardashian drama with Khloe’s perpetually cheating baby daddy, Tristan Thompson. Too soon?

The ONLY Response To Obnoxious Drivers

The only people in the world who think revving a loud car engine is cool, are the people revving said engine. You’re not impressing anyone, sorry not sorry.

Drake And Chris Brown Dance It Out

Now that you’ve had your fair share of laughs, here is the full video below of Drake and Chris Brown battling it out on the dance floor:

The #WaterGunChallenge Will Soak Your Summer

by

This summer has brought us numerous new challenges, such as the #bottlecapchallenge. With the extreme heat breaking records in many countries, it’s time someone came up with a challenge that helped cool us off. The solution? The #WaterGunChallenge, which involves carrying two loaded water guns while walking around town, and then passing one to a random person on the street and see if their up for the battle.

Inspiration For The #WaterGunChallenge

The #WaterGunChallenge was created and filmed by three friends in Richmond, Virginia. The inspiration for the video and challenge was fairly simple. As stated on their Youtube channel, GET UP & GET IT;

ready to battle in the #watergunchallenge as he waits to see if the stranger will join him.

“It was mad hot. So we bought 2 water guns, filled them up, and walked up to people & tossed them one…just to see if they were down for a quick water gun fight….lets see what happened!”

A Slow Start For The #WaterGunChallenge

At first, not many people were down for the #WaterGunChallenge. The trio walked around many parts of the city, egging people to pick up the water gun, only to be denied. Individuals seemed to be skeptical and unamused, or simply incapable like the little dog on a walk. However, the tag team was determined to not give up. In fact, they RAN UP!

Running Up The Fun

Once the three guys started running to their potential challengers, it did seem to have a positive effect. People were more motivated to at least pick up the super soakers. It could have been out of pity due to the slight appearance of desperation on the faces of the trio… But regardless, once people started to pick up the water guns, the fun truly began!

Can’t Stop The Feeling

The smiles while battling were undeniable, and this #WaterGunChallenge really created a feel good moment for everyone involved. Even if we as viewers were not able to take part in the soaking action, the music added to the fun. “Can’t Stop The Feeling” by Justin Timberlake is an instant mood boosting summer song.

If you weren’t smiling throughout, the ending was sure to give you some laughs, as an older man walking down the street joyously joined the fun. He even got the camera man! While it did seem like it was all simply fun and games, there was an ultimate lesson that the group wanted to share: Stay Hydrated. Oh, and get ready for a part 2 coming soon…

“Hot Girl Summer” Is The Unapologetic Meme We Needed

by

With one of the worst heat waves in history due to global warming and a slew of political and social issues happening world wide, it’s reasonable to want summer 2019 to end ASAP. However, instead of getting down in the dumps about the heat, Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion came up with meme we NEEDED to get by this summer, “Hot Girl Summer.”

The Unapologetic Energy We Needed

While this seems like a pretty basic tweet, there’s a much deeper meaning that Megan shared with The Root. And yes, this catchphrase includes other genders too!

“It’s just basically about women — and men — just being unapologetically them, just having a good-a** time, hyping up your friends, doing you, not giving a damn about what nobody got to say about it.”

A Pop Culture Sensation

The theme of “Hot Girl Summer” took the pop culture world by storm. On Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat, people have been posting their brightest and funkiest outfits, sharing their biggest accomplishments, snapping pics from their vacations or even from the comforts of their own homes. Some celebrities like Miley Cyrus have even joined in with this post of her dancing in her house, doing her thang shamelessly.

Even major brands got in on the fun with their own tweets referring to the self-uplifting catchphrase.

Others have been coining the phrase as a hilarious expectations versus reality meme. While all of us would love to look flawless and strut in confidence, the heat often just causes a sweaty result.

“Hot Girl Summer” Anthems

As a rapper, it only made sense that Megan decided her term was deserving of musical accompaniment. She created the “Hot Girl Summer” playlist on Spotify, which to date already has more than 124,000 followers. The playlist features songs by Megan Thee Stallion, along with other powerhouse hip hop and R&B artists, like Rihanna, Beyoncé, Future, and Cardi B. Additionally, Megan said she plans to release an anthem later this summer to make us all really feel the vibes.

A Trademark In The Works

“Hot Girl Summer” took off so quickly, with thousands of shares, likes, and hashtag posts, that Megan has actually decided to try and trademark the term. She filed on July 10 with the hopes of selling t-shirts, athletic apparel, and other merchandise with the term.

The best part about the phrase is that it focuses on living your best life and being comfortable in your own skin. So while negative things might be happening in our lives, it’s important to stand tall and be proud of ourselves this summer, no regrets!

A Spot On Parody of “Guys With ‘Entrepreneur’ In Their Bio”

by

With digital networking on the rise, it’s now more important than ever to have a profile that both captures people’s attention and sells your best talents. However, some key phrases in certain bios have a way of screaming “scam,” such as with the title entrepreneur. While many true entrepreneurs have incredible success stories, such as Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey, there is a fine line between an intrepid self-starter and a shameless failure-to-launch.

The latter is typically a former frat guy who still lives for the party scene as means of “networking.” Comedian Trevor Wallace perfectly and depicts this stereotype in his latest video, “Guys with ‘Entrepreneur’ in their bio.”

A Popular All-To-Accurate Parody

Since its release on July 9th, the video has gotten over 1 million views thanks to its hilarious portrayal of the still-shamelessly-lives-at-home-with-his-parents fake entrepreneur with no real job prospects in sight. The shortened tweet version also got thousands of likes, retweets, replies with people swearing by the video’s accuracy.

You Don’t Need To Be Able To Spell To Be An Entrepreneur

One of the funniest themes that continually pops up in the video is the inability to spell his own career of entrepreneur. But that’s okay, because he can at least spell the name of his car, TESLA. Wait, just kidding, he can’t. Thank goodness for Siri!

Sign of TESLA car.

Influencers… The Latest Entrepreneur?

So spelling might not be this type of entrepreneurs’ strong point, but at least they are great at getting investors. Family investors, that is. The cycle of wealthy individuals having their parents support them to success is nothing new. It just sometimes takes new forms, as seen in this video when he goes “live” as if he were an influencer on Instagram. In reality, his words lacked any sense or true meaning. However, it does get us thinking about the thousands of people who claim to be influencers on Instagram. Could one consider this as the latest version of ‘entrepreneur’ in one’s bio?
