In a small town, everyone believed that ancestors passed down not just heirlooms but also an “aura,” a cosmic vibe that determined your social standing. Young Timmy discovered that he was burdened with a hefty “aura debt” because his grandfather had been notorious for his questionable decisions—like starting a potato fashion line that inevitably failed. So there Timmy was, trying to make friends at school, only for kids to dodge him like he had cooties because his aura reportedly smelled like stale fries.
The hilarity ensued when Timmy’s mom took matters into her own hands, insisting they hold a “family cleansing” ceremony to improve their vibes. Armed with sage and an old disco ball, she awkwardly waved around the ball while singing off-key in an attempt to “revitalize their spirits.” Instead of boosting their aura, the odd scene attracted a crowd of curious neighbors who ended up thinking it was a quirky street performance. Suddenly, Timmy’s aura wasn’t just about family heritage; he became the unexpected star of the town with a flair for disco vibes—debt cleared, and he was popular for being the “antique potato king’s” great-grandson who danced like nobody was watching!

Generational aura liability

P
Quite the impressive combination of simultaneous coordination and uncoordination
B
That’s tricking while drunk
C
The amount of times I’ve seen extremely talented and coordinated people do questionably wtf things while intoxicated is astounding.
E
yeah that sideways flip-roll was kinda dope until gravity kicked in
D
He came way closer to landing it than was originally anticipated and then it kept getting worse
E
He doesn’t kick his leg as high up as he should. Might be trying to “keep it small” intentionally because it’s indoors and he doesn’t want to kick anybody, but… that’s also a great reason to not try the move there lol
P
I think it was a decent effort of something.
C
Thank God people didn’t have video cameras and the internet to record and share the humiliating moments of my awkward teenage years. Unfortunately, they do have them for my awkward middle-aged years.
T
Can’t tell you how happy I am to have grown up in the 90s before everything was being recorded all the time.
L
Cell phones should be banned at all parties. People need to live in the moment. These are the exact type of kids you want to have at your party. Instead he’s gonna get ridiculed online for it.
H
And concerts… I’m always surrounded by people recording a concert while there live. You’re never going to watch that again.. if you did – it wouldn’t come close to the actual show. Put the phones down and live in the moment.
V
My husband learned that lesson back in 2013 while replaying his footage of a Motley Crue concert. He discovered the microphone picks up the voice of someone close by, much differently than in person. Let’s say that person is belting out the lyrics as loud as they can, and let’s also assume they can’t hold a tune to save their lives. That’s right, if anyone has woken up today with an insatiable need to watch the MC concert from Dawson Creek, Canada 2013 with Yours Truly as guest vocals, hit me up. I’m sure it’s still around here somewhere.
B
Dawson Creek is a real place?!
K
100% it us. In British Columbia, Canada!
E
Tool banning phones til the final song has been such a fantastic change
H
Completely agree.. Maynard for president 🤘
G
1 or 2 pics at the most to remind you of the event, not a whole feature film
R
What is particularly annoying is the number of times you see this in professionally recorded concert videos. Enjoy the concert then buy the DVD.
T
Reminds me of a video from awhile back showing clips of the different eras and the 90s was just a black screen.
L
We left no proof of our activities… Because that would commonly referred to as “evidence”
C
on the real. If i was a kid I would make that a thing. Call it “off the grid chill” or some shit. And if someone at the party gets caught with their phone out they would get ice water dunked on them or something. Let there be consequences but in a laugh-it-off-even-though-I-am-really-annoyed-but-no-real-harm-done kind of thing. Why *isn’t* that a thing?
N
Because they’re like 16. You wanna go home at 16 years old after your mom’s been blowing your phone up for the past 4 hours wondering why you’re not answering? Next thing you know the cops show up looking for you…. I did not have a good childhood
R
Totally agree. This is the shit me and my friends would’ve done. But instead of being alone we all would have been laughing together, helped the friend up, gave him another beer, and chugged them all together…then we’d high five each other about it all night long, and laugh the next morning during hungover breakfast.
G
Yeah I never thought about the impact smartphones must have on teenager parties. If they existed back when I had 15-20 yrs old I would have been so self conscious it would have ruined it for me.
V
Seriously! I graduated high school in 97. So the 90s were my teens and I think back at all the stupid stuff I remeber doing and the thought of it being on the internet for all time is horrible.
S
Graduated 96, I feel this to my core. Say it all the time, so glad I grew up when I did versus now.
C
Yeah I graduated in ’97 too. I was a hellion when I was a teenager, and I got kicked out of multiple high schools. I remember the group of “friends” I was running with used to take pictures with disposable cameras when we would party together. Then we would obviously get those pictures developed. Those pictures fell into the hands of the police eventually which went about as well as you can imagine. 😬 Imagine if we had all had access to tiny video cameras and access to post everything on the internet? We’d all probably just now be getting out of prison. 🫣
F
Seriously. I used to walk around with one arm in my jacket like Auron from FFX. It was just a regular jacket, and I thought I looked so cool. I did not look cool.
S
Me and my friends walked around with unbuttoned button-up shirts and enough hair gel to style a wooly mammoth’s hair. Trying to flaunt our boney six packs and scrawny chests. I cringe thinking about it We thought we looked AWESOME. Sigh. Wish I still had that kind of confidence, though. lol
A
I never meant to, but it’s wild looking back how many times I ended my night in an unbuttoned button up shirt and board shorts. And everyone just accepted it. I talked my way out of trouble with the police dressed like that on MULTIPLE occasions. The confidence and charisma of youth is something special.
T
I (male) was rocking a 90s middle-part hairstyle in the mid-aughts. I looked like an idiot. I was giving off Crispin Glover vibes instead of any 90s heart throb.
P
I wore the double popped collar polos so I know how you feel.
C
Dude, I was a teen from San Diego in the 90’s. Chola wasn’t just noun, it was our life lol Tbh, though, i was looking back at some pics the other day and I was like” how tf did I do that with my eyeliner?!?” So even though I lost epic eyeliner skills I am no longer wearing pants that are 4 sizes too big and obsessing over creases, which is a win lol
S
He needs to commit to the break dancing career now and flood the internet with better videos to cancel out this one.
B
There really does need to be some kind of law. These poor kids having their childhood stolen out of fear of looking dumb not just in front of the people there or the other kids at school but in front of the whole world
D
You’re right on the money. It’s a problem much deeper than missing out on being young and dumb for fear of being immortalized on the internet in embarrassment. They’re growing up afraid to take risks or be themselves. Afraid to be goofy. Afraid to shrug off common sense and just live even as young adults. They can never take off the mask they put on due to always being on camera. It’s so sad. This young man in the video did something stupid because he was inebriated. Cool. We’ve all been there. Now he will never live this down even as people forget it will always be on video.
M
The internet and concept of always filming turns a child’s life into a prisoners through the concept of a virtual panopticon
X
It’s not even that they’re laughing, it’s that they seem shocked that he had the audacity to even *try* doing that. It’s almost like they’re offended more than amused
K
And it becomes like a defining moment for this kid instead of just the thing he wakes up thinking about at 40. It really has taken a lot away from the growing up experience.
J
Yeah I think it’s bad this kid got videoed and made fun of. It should be forgotten as a fun silly thing that happened among friends not put on the internet for everyone to see
G
> Thank God people didn’t have video cameras and the internet to record and share the humiliating moments of my awkward teenage years. No need. My brain recorded all of mine in perfect quality and reminds me of all of them on a regular basis.
S
“Dance like nobodies watching!” Goes the old saying. Just kidding now kids, be on guard all the time forever. You have a bad day and snap at someone or do something stupid and it can be immortalized on the internet and end your social life as you know it for even a single slip up.
S
Is that a milk or beer or wtf is going on?
N
Its obviously pocket milk
J
Sh-sha!
U
Damnit, Dale
V
Canadian with a bag of milk in his pocket
A
For his milk steak?
K
Better that than a denim chicken
C
And raw jelly beans
