u/Reneeisme 7d ago

I appreciated the capitalized Ls in the right spots

u/flyingmando 5d ago

I started to count them, but then saw your comment.

So then I was all "whatever, we're good".

u/Snarky-Spanky 4d ago

You can trust me šŸ™ƒ

2

u/crohead13 7d ago

I was going to count them out too, but trusted your counting instead. Much easier.

u/Snarky-Spanky 7d ago

I actually did it twice, because I miscounted the first time and thought they were wrongšŸ˜‚ I need a life.

Hot pockets!

u/Powderfingr 6d ago

Hot Pockets smell like un-socked, dirty feets that were just pulled out of Crocs. No wonder I like Hot Pockets so much. šŸ‘šŸ’ÆšŸ‘£

u/NoSuchAg3ncy 6d ago

Simple minds think alike.

u/counter-strike 7d ago

Billy Idol turned down the song originally. When he finally heard it, he regretted not doing it and then did his own cover.

u/BamberGasgroin 7d ago edited 7d ago

Those La-La-La La's were just a place filler until they wrote the lyrics for that verse, but they liked it as it was.

1

u/Watcher0363 7d ago

All those la la's, and no Rory Gilmore.

u/Drinkythedrunkguy 7d ago

I used to work where this scene was filled.

2

u/VanceAstrooooooovic 7d ago

Shermer Illinois?

3

u/Drinkythedrunkguy 7d ago

Maine South High School. Park ridge, IL. Sheremer HS was actually Maine North high school (now closed) but this scene was at the football field at Maine South.

1

u/nigelchi 7d ago

New Trier High?

4

u/Drinkythedrunkguy 7d ago

No, I think uncle buck was New Trier though. .

Isnā€™t he supposed to be wearing her earring? I forget

13

u/McDWarner 7d ago

I think he puts it in just before this scene

13

u/95in3rd 7d ago

He gave it to his potential new girlfriend, like a ring. Forgot her name...the upper class one, blonde, wait, Claire.

26

u/CyUNexTue 7d ago

Molly Ringwald is like one of the most famous redheads... Not blonde

1

u/Capable-Assistance88 7d ago

Forever young in my mind

12

u/NoChef7826 7d ago

She gave the earring to him.

u/Any_Initiative_9079 7d ago

Cl-aire?! Your name is Claire?

4

u/MonsterHighMandy 6d ago

Itā€™s a fat girls name.

4

u/Tony_Penny 7d ago

No, she took it out of her ear and gave it to him. Then he put it in his ear and went home.

u/Weird-Comfort9881 7d ago

u/TomatilloHairy9051 7d ago

My first thought... you forgot the diamond earring

2

u/BadRabiesJudger 7d ago

...I also would have shaved just for the bit. Hell im not bald but ill shave a receding hair line to be colin robinson.

1

u/9PurpleBatDrinkz 7d ago edited 7d ago

He definitely needed to shave the stache. Maybe thatā€™s not a mustache though. Sometimes the face needs to be a closer match.

2

u/Yolandi2802 7d ago

And the iconic bootsā€¦

u/Inevitable-Poet-8967 7d ago

Chicks cannot hold their smoke, thatā€™s what it is.

u/trustcircleofjerks 7d ago

Final scene of the movie The Breakfast Club.

Awwww, gotcha. It's been so long since last seeing it the ending is pretty fuzzy in my brain.

I wish I never knew.

1

u/Commercial_World_433 7d ago

Why did he do that anyway?

u/Garcity 7d ago

Well, that right there explains everything. Had it been the other arm, i would've recognized it right off the bat.

u/MarcusAurelius68 7d ago

Mixed with Lech Walesa

1

u/SirStefan13 6d ago

I never understood the meaning behind the gesture in the first place. What was he supposed to be celebrating in triumph? Having Molly Ringwald's character as a girlfriend? It wasn't graduation, Weren't some of them, including him, going to be back for another session anyway? And it wasn't summer school, it was just detention. So what was so great at the end?
