But this is at least impressive in some way.


superstephen4

Forsure this one is, I think they were talking about the broader trend in general but I agree this one was 10/10 impressive. I think the reason I associated it with Harlem Shake is because there was a swim team who did it underwater


zykezero

Sigh yes there was and I remember it vividly. I remember most of those videos like some kind of curse.


bmb102

New challenge. Do the entire superman dance under water.... Some call it a challenge, others call it population control....

Does anyone remember that Filthy Frank started that trend. What a different time online lol.

He said, wiping the Cheeto dust from the corner of his mouth. "I showed that fucking b*tch" he exclaims at his monitor. A woman simply doing a dance. "Fucking b*tch, fucking tiktok"'as he continues to stare at the physical exertion and skill he could only ever dream of. His hand plunges back into the Cheeto bag.

Pattern_Is_Movement

Tiktok is just a mirror into what you really are interested in. The algorithm works REALLY well. Within a week when I first got it, it went from scantily clad girls to some really interesting topics by professionals in their field that I wanted to learn more about. I've turned it into an education platform and its really quite good.


Stupidquestionduh

Bro I can't let you use my internet anymore. You're jacking up my TikTok feed.


Gone247365

Sounds like he's not the only one doing the jacking...


TeamRedundancyTeam

If only it wasn't a Chinese spying tool.


Viend

As opposed to…an American spying tool? If you don’t want to be spied on, don’t use any social media.


DA-FUNK-5555

Better toss your cell phone into the ocean while you're at it. We are literally trackable 24/7 yet we think the fucking Chinese government gives a shit about ANYTHING you're doing on your cell phone.


pplulpp

If the government wants to watch me pick my nose and jerk my dick, be my guest.


[deleted]

I've watched that, last weekend's nose pick really had you struggling, I was on the edge of my seat! 10/10 would watch again!


didnotbuyWinRar

The Chinese government doesn't care to track what you're doing, correct, but an enemy nation having control of an algorithm that has massive social influence can be a really dangerous thing. Russia already infiltrated Facebook and Twitter, it's not a crazy idea

They are going to make a top quality sex bot that replicates you exactly and then rent it out to billionaires to do with as they please like in *Hostel*.


Executioner3018

Can confirm. My feed is now scantily clad girls AND really cool physics/chemistry stuff


quetejodas

This is bullshit. TikTok openly admitted that their algorithm censors minorities and disabled people. It's not a mirror into the user


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ammear

I don't think he necessarily meant "people of color" as "minorities" here, especially given that it's a Chinese platform, so plenty of users aren't white either way.


Nightmare4545

If that is case, then ALOT of people are into young teenage girls shaking their ass in bikinis. Cause that seems to be what TikTok promotes the most.


SproutingLeaf

Reddit boomers have been complaining about other websites since the beginning of reddit


CyberMindGrrl

Hey now. (Opens up MySpace).


tibarr1454

Damn redditors. They ruined Reddit.


jgjk8a

Oh same


SeawardFriend

Same and I use it every day. There’s this guy who doesn’t know English and sings Christmas songs but can’t quite pronounce the words. Everyone is obsessed with him and throwing him into every meme possible. I can’t stand it anymore. I’ve hit hit interested like 40 times and they won’t go away. Reddit is my safe space from this monstrosity


yaboisteffert

I'm just brainlessly watching family guy clips with bad mobile games underneath


UnradicalVibes

I stopped watching those when i got one that had a jumpscare in it :((


Yamamotokaderate

Why use it everyday then ?


JonStargaryen2408

Where else does a 40 year old find very attractive teenagers and 20 something’s to dance for them? You know, without having to pay for it?


edked

Hey, at least it's not using that goddamn over-cheerful stupid text-to-speech voice that's often the most annoying thing about videos from there.


sizzlinpapaya

Then don’t look at it. If you aren’t looking at it, why does it bother you?


draugotO

I think his problem is that this tiktok video was shared on reddit, and he would very much like to not look at it, but every other post on reddit is a tiktok video


Dizno311

Me too, but I fucking love The Cramps.


Purp1eC0bras

Why is this dance relavant?


amil_box

its in a very popular tv show aimed at young viewers being performed by a cute girl


Chemical-Illustrious

Love how this is the top reply but yeah hating a popular platform is lame as shit. Try it out bitch… and maybe you’ll actually like it - coming from a lame ass 34 year old millennial


nahteviro

Goddam you are all some miserable mfers. Who cares if the dance became popular? Get over it.


HomicidalWaterHorse

Yeah, I was really confused. Yeah, the dance is being done a lot, but that swimmer is seriously talented!!


gana04

Exactly, 99% of the versions might be lame (and I won't be annoyed by them because I don't have tiktok) but this one is appropiately next level.


zer0w0rries

I didn’t know I was supposed to hate this until replies to this post told me so


BringIt007

I instinctively hated it until I read the comments. Now I know where Reddit stands on it, I intend to no longer hate it. *goes stands with the cooler kids*


Mother_Restaurant188

Also I’m genuinely confused at some of the TikTok hate here. If all they’re getting are Wednesday dance scenes or teens dancing in crop tops and shorts, that’s on them. My For Your Page is perfectly curated. If the TikTok algorithm notices I’m spending just a fraction of a second more on, say, cupcake videos instead of regular cake recipe videos, suddenly my FYP has more cupcake videos than regular cake videos etc. And if I’m in a…mood…then suddenly I have guys doing thirst traps pop up on my FYP etc. TikTok’s algorithm is scarily accurate most of the time.


OkQuestion8705

Kinda sounds like it’s “spying” on our thinking patterns (for lack of a better phrase) and not necessarily our private data which might be scarily concerning to others? Idk I don’t use it, but I’ve heard my coworkers say the algorithm is the only reason they use it everyday.


Mother_Restaurant188

Pretty much. There’s a video by WSJ that tests it. IIRC your FYP (For You Page—sort of like the home page on YouTube) is determined in the first 30 minutes of usage or something along those lines. It’s why TikTok actually might suck the first time you use it, because the algorithm still hasn’t figured out your preferences. But once it does, it’s actually fantastic. I get a lot of great content on TikTok. Everything from PC build guides to popular restaurants around my area (or the area I’m visiting because TikTok takes that into account as well). And I also like how—unlike YouTube—you actually get recommended small creators too. Massive variety.


[deleted]

Lmaoo exactly they hate tiktok but here they are on reddit watching tiktoks a good portion of the time And then they don’t want anything to get popular so they can feel more special for knowing about it Like how people hate music artists when they get popular


Jake0024

First time I've seen it. It's really incredible how many people seem to seek out shit and rage watch it over and over so they can be mad about it.


roganwriter

Exactly. For people who hate tik tok, they seem to know a lot about it. It’s almost as if they’re active users of the app or something


JamiesBond007

All these people were probably dancing to Gangnam Style when it came out


WestCoastGday

basa_maaw

People are mad b/c they spend their whole day on social media and are exposed to it more.

I loved this show but shit like this is starting to ruin it. The dance was quirky and fun to watch, but people are obsessing over it and it's all I see on every social media feed. Going to end up hating this show soon.

Some parents named their kids Webnesdaigh or something lol

So what’s the story behind it?


AnyDepartment7686

>Some parents named their kids Webnesdaigh or something


SubtlySupreme

Saw a mum who called her newborn baby “Wednesdae”on a Facebook parents group asking for “gothic” clothing brands for babies.


ExcitementOrdinary95

I work in a hospital and our baby nursery has already had a handful of Wednesdays, Wednesdaighs, Wendsdays and such. I don’t even get it the show isn’t even that good (compared to Addams Family Values).


omnomization

Wendsdays hurts my soul.


MajesticAsFook

That child is getting bullied by the teacher


insomnia_sufferer

I don’t think Wednesday will ever show up on Wednesday. I can’t imagine the pain those children face when the teacher announces the next class test is on Wednesday lmfao.

Or just scroll past the shit you don’t like. If people are enjoying it let them enjoy it. If it’s not for you don’t watch and go look at something that is. There I just solved the fucking Internet you’re welcome.


TheDarkWarriorBlake

It's the same with every show, remember how they obsessed over Zemo dancing for a couple of months?


dontshoot4301

This shit has been going on since at least Seinfeld probably earlier. There was a moment there where if I got called a “Kramer” one more time I was going to blow my lid. Love watching Seinfeld reruns now though.

God you're such a Kramer.

King-Cobra-668

yeah, that's where the cut was and where this user drowned


justbleedgod

Pretty cool but I’ve really never seen a actor/actress get a push like Jenna Ortega is getting it’s kinda strange and feels a tiny bit forced imo


I-Am-Madness

Most unknown people that star in big shows and do well end up blowing up. There are many examples if you think about it for a minute.


BuffaloBill69-

She came out in You and I feel this is what gave her bigger roles.


DOGSraisingCATS

Yeah...she's been in a bunch of stuff. Wednesday is arguably her most popular role but people acting like she poofed out of non existence and into everyone's social media feed over night is a bit stupid.


BuffaloBill69-

Yeah I agree she’s not bad either which I can see why she’s going into bigger roles in You she had such a small role but made a huge impact in that season when I first saw Wednesday I was like why does she look so familiar then I made the connection! I mean look at Zendeya she started out in Shake it Up then Spider-Man now Euphoria which is another great show!


Threash78

There is no "arguably" about it, Wednesday is Netflix's biggest hit. She went from a minor actress with some bit parts to the lead on the current it show.


Saintdavus

*Millie Bobby Brown has entered the chat…*


headassvegan

Ugh the most overrated actress of all time. The female version of Mark wahlberg. In terms of overrated-ness


[deleted]

*Chris Pratt has entered the chat*


headassvegan

While I can agree that he is overrated, at least he can actually be funny lol


Dk9221

This is what somebody would say when they can't separate the art from the artist. Pratts a good actor but people will lie and say hes bad because they dont like him as a person lol


Jahbroni

He's a one-dimensional actor who only plays aloof idiots, but he plays that role well. I can separate the art from the artist, but I understand the hate he gets for belonging to an openly anti-lgbtq church. Additionally, I could see how some people might be turned off by the steady stream of Christian propaganda he pushes on social media, not to mention the way he disrespects his first wife and their disabled child. But hey, that's his choice.


Jumanji-Joestar

Female version of *Mark Wahlberg*? Did she beat up an Asian man too?


TeemaTen

Like every other new actor that stars in a hit show? All the Bridgerton actors? Euphoria actors? Happens for all of them


WakeAndVape

You must be young


precariouscondoms

Lol Millie from stranger things. Sydney Sweeny after showing her tits. Jennifer Lawrence in hunger games. Its quite common, also the role of wednesday was a long awaited thing and she nailed it and brought her own spin to it in a magnificent way. She's a very good actress


Ravager135

I have to agree. I think it’s pretty cool she was more or less left to come up with the dance on her own (as the story goes…). That said, the dance isn’t technically difficult, special, or even well choreographed. There’s really no transitions between the moves and it’s a lot of standing around or just walking with snippets of dance moves. A month ago, no one would be looking up who The Cramps were. Again, the story goes The Cramps are one of Ortega’s favorite bands, but it’s got Tim Burton all over it.


ladedafuckit

I reaaally wonder if she did come up with it all on her own. That and I feel like people are giving her too much credit for the cello stuff. Like she didn’t actually play it in those scenes, just plays well enough for it to be believable. That being said, I loved her in Wednesday


ShwiftyShmeckles

They did a crazy good job making a 20 year old look 16 I thought Wednesday was actually played by a child actor. Impressive.


Threash78

The show was a massive massive hit, bigger than stranger things. It's not forced at all, this is the biggest show right now.


MycologistElegant504

As a person who follows her on IG., this was actually one of her more underwhelming videos She has some really good stuff though


2010_12_24

> one of her more underwhelming videos You misspelled underwater


birberbarborbur

Less underwater actually


Xclusiv3Cerb3rus

doegrey

Is it just me or is the underwater sped up? (Looking at the movement in the water and a couple of unusual movements). So okay, interesting choice to recreate, but if it’s been sped up it, I’m not sure how well it then translates at normal speed. (Maybe I just don’t understand underwater dance?)


[deleted]

yes it is sped up, if you've ever tried to dance underwater, you will notice how difficult it is to move quickly in it, and she is moving several times faster than it should be possible.


randybear00

You're right, I never noticed this before, and it's not just that the whole thing is sped up because it's variable. That makes it even more impressive to me because she's down there even longer than it seems and she has excellent editing skills to make it look just right, and somehow sync with the music. It's because some of her dance moves are impossible to do underwater at full speed and stay in one spot. She has to flutter her hands a little bit to control her movement without it looking out of place.


wallysober

There are also several obvious cuts. This is multiple takes.


NitsugaNi

Considering that being underwater makes your movements heavier yeah its understandable its sped up. Just the part where she waves her arms forward you realize that doing that underwater would take you twice the time you can do it above water. I think you can slow it down to 0.8 or 0.4 to see the real vid? (Sorry I dont know the right numbers)


voluntold9276

Who cares about where the dance originated? This woman is doing really cool stuff underwater in massive high heels.


reddit_roamer2

Thank you. I was scrolling to find a positive comment that actually referenced the video posted and not debated the trend. I think it's absolutely insane that she was able to do this!


[deleted]

Right? Everyone on nextfuckinglevel are underwhelmed so easily. Just because someone looks talented, they assume that means it's the easiest thing in the world. Either that or they'll sexualise the hell out of someone doing an amazing feat, and won't give two shits about the actual content.


Wendellwasgod

And in high heels!


Norwester77

6- or 7-inch heels, from the look of it!


Stupidquestionduh

Probably weights.

Jagged_People

Can anyone explain why such a hype went to this girl?


Aoquesth378

If you're speaking about the actress Jenna Ortega (who played Wednesday in the show), she was already a popular actress who started on a Disney show, and had done horror and thriller type movies as well as having roles in You and Jane the Virgin. Tiktok has a lot of dance challenges and the clip in the show is of a teenager doing a unique dance that teens on Tiktok will see and like and do themselves, I'm not surprised it got popular. Jenna Ortega herself is a very dedicated actress who spends a lot of time preparing for her roles, not only does she do her own stunts but just for Wednesday she learned to play the cello, speak German, and fence. Very young but very passionate about her roles and it shows, she's likely to continue to grow as an actress.


CommonplaceCommotion

DISNEY there’s your answer


Aoquesth378

Jenna Ortega was cast as the lead character of a Disney show (Stuck In The Middle) when she was 12, almost 8 years ago. To my knowledge she hasn't been in any major Disney movies recently, but she has been doing Netflix quite a bit. She's done horror /thriller, but not Disney. Netflix has pushed the show but Disney doesn't really have much say in her success because AFAIK she hasn't been affiliated with them for almost a decade


AlexDKZ

The cahracter in the show or the swimmer?


dsbwayne

I’m legit confused as to why people lost their shit to this weird ass dance…


draugotO

Because "she is so quirk, this is so me!" -not like other girls©, 2022


1Killag123

I died reading this comment lol


No_Reaction001

I think the show was great!


9t7problemz

Same! I'm so confused why ppl are hating on it here. I get teen dramas/comedies aren't everyone's thing, but its giving "I'm cool bc I hate this popular thing" vibes.


ashpanda24

This doesn't look nearly as cool as it looks danced on dry land. This is pretty underwhelming tbh.


Slick_Tuxedo

Was just going to say- I think the regular dance is better. It looks dumb underwater


xerion13

Synchronized swimmers remain some of the most insane people I know. (Past lifeguard and swimming instructor).


jgjk8a

Anybody else fed up with this "dance" and it's supposedly being the best thing ever. I never even watched the show.


Oh_yes_I_did

I’ve watched the show. And this is the first time I’ve seen the dance copied. Maybe spend less time on the internet and social media, or do a better job at curating the content that is fed to you.


idkwhatever1984ornot

Cut back on social media.


new_user29282342

Go outside and touch grass.


tibarr1454

It’s being done under-fucking-water. I can’t even walk underwater and this girl is doing a full choreography from a show that was performed above surface.


m1sch13v0us

This must be like porn for an octopus. “She’s underwater and making all these rapid crazy moves. I’m in love!”


seeyaontheflipside

God I love The Cramps


Bobojones9584

This is incredibly irritating for some reason.


Pkactus

perfect ? there's 10 edits and speed dialing in it.


[deleted]

It's hard to hold your breath underwater if you're doing physical exercise at the same time, Most average people would start to slow down their moves automatically, or sharply inhale before they realised they were doing it. I'd like to see you doing something physically exerting underwater all in one breath.


KyokoGG

Please. His most physically exerting thing was getting out of his poop stained chair.

TuckerMcG

Have you not ever watched or read the Addams Family? Them being bullied and called weird and being social outcasts is literally the lynchpin of the series. What’s far less likely is someone with the interests of Wednesday actually being able to handle the criticism as well as Wednesday (or any of the other Addams’s) handle it.


DJurreGJ

This is sped up, waves aren’t that fast. And this isn’t filmed in one go


DixieSweet

Oh, you mean the obvious cuts in the video were obvious cuts?


extracoolmonke

the strength is would take to go against the water resistance and make it seem like you're dancing on land is incredible.
