This video is everywhere (stop complaining), but if you haven't seen it, watch it first before you continue:
Yes, it's bad...but it is wonderfully bad. I would wager that there is so much more that is right than is wrong with it. First- you really have to give this girl props. She's really into her days of the week and document ing when they happen using prepositional phrases. Secondly, she is ballsy enough to stand on a bench and sing over her friends at someone else's party. She's so excited about her Friday that she forgets to use verbs, people. That's pure.
My only issue- yes, the only one- is why is confused on where to sit in her friend's car. Front seat? Back seat? Girl, there is only one seat available, so sit dowwwn. Why is she confused? Because it's "Fried Egg?"
People always complain about how awkward it is to see 25 or 30 year olds play teenage characters. Well, this is why that happens. Real teenagers are gangly, embarrassingly uncool and need haircuts. The children in this video can't even convincingly pump their fists in the air and shout, "Yeah." That's something you learn to do sophomore year of college at some party where you end up throwing up after one too many White Russians (the drink? the people? You decide.).
I do wish she had focused on Wednesday at some point in this video. Though, skipping sad Monday and shameful, shameful Tuesday was a good idea.
OH heck no is right! And what's with the pseudo sing/rapping in the middle? Like bringing in that guy with a massive watch gives you street cred and lets her cross demographics?! No. But I can't wait til she looks back on this and cringes with embarrassment in 5 years.
