Kids going to summer camp. I always remember these as being some kind of fun thing you did over the weekend, not a child resort where you stayed for the entire summer.

>>222902478In Boston we had tons of smart Asians. My little brother BTFO of the Asian girl and was validictorian and knocked her to Salutidorian
>>222902393AllowancesThose father-son DIY wooden car races
>>222902499my 60 yo black lady co-worker even laughed about shows like Family Matters, she was like "that shit's nothing like how IRL black families are"
>>222902393when I was in the Boy Scouts the big summer trip to a huge camp in Colorado or Wisconsin was always a single weeksleep away camps that last a whole summer have never been a thing as far as I know, maybe it's some coastal thing from the 50s that boomers perpetuated in movies through the 70s and lazy writers kept it going, the way the "dumb jock/misunderstood geek" thing has kept going despite not existing in 60 years
>>222902393>Depressed asocial weirdo has a girlfriend
>>222902512You mean the pinewood derby cars? Yeah you only did that if you were ever in scouts.
>>222902525>even blacks admit blacks are shitty people that can't act right
>>222902525The grandma on family matters was prob real though, she didn't take no shit.
>sporty kids are elaborate, torturous bullies>nerdy kids are the underdog innocent victims
>>222902393isn't that mostly a Jewish thing? because Jews were always big on summer camps.
>couple just had sex>woman instantly covers her breasts with bed sheetsDestroys my immersion every single time.
>girls are gross and have cootiesthat's not how real 10 year old boys act
>>222902529There was that sleepaway camp all over the news last summer in Texas where a bunch if kids died in a flood
>>222902464>cops are always hyper-smart, competent, and full of righteous indignation at the (usually always white male) criminal
>Working class family can afford a house
>>2229023935 days was the longest I was ever at camp. It was always terrible and I have no idea why Americans liked that shit.
>couple gets married>the rituals such as the wedding vows and stuff are all traditional Jewish practices even if it's supposed to be a Christian wedding
>>222902393mostly were middle class things for parents who realized it was cheaper to send their kids away for the summer instead of actually parenting them
>>222902702Mazel-tov!
High school comedy where they act more like college students.
>>222902705I never heard of an all-summer or even a month-long summer camp. It was always a week long, then you came home. Rare exceptions existed where it was 2 weeks like when Boy Scouts would go to Philmont.There were a few kids who'd be sent to spend the summer with a relative but I think that practice was mostly done with half a century ago.>>222902759College movie where they don't act like high school students
>>222902393Kids being grounded as a punishment.
>>222902862this never happened to you? not much else you can do with kids tbqh, withdraw pocket money, it's probably 'abuse' to hit them or not feed them nowadays.for me it's kids either sneaking out, or their bf/gf climbing in through the window. your parents could hear you masturbate, even if your house had a back door, how are teens sneaking in a person to have conversations/sex with, or just walking out without parents knowing?
>>222902393Maybe its because I am Irish, but when I lived in the States i never saw a 50's diner
>>222902860>I never heard of an all-summer or even a month-long summer camp. It was always a week long, then you came home. Rare exceptions existed where it was 2 weeks like when Boy Scouts would go to Philmont.>There were a few kids who'd be sent to spend the summer with a relative but I think that practice was mostly done with half a century ago.Anon, they exist and are aimed at parents who hate their kidsThey're not for poors
>>222902906>how are teens sneaking in a person to have conversations/sex with, or just walking out without parents knowing?They wait until their parents have gone to sleep, duh. Everyone I knew sneaked out in high school
Sadie Hawkins dance
>>222902961>Maybe its because I am IrishDo you think they are invisible to some nations or something?
>>222902862I spent a whole summer grounded in high school lolI just played vidya and jacked offI had great parents right
>>222902603I have a theory that this trope has had the unintended opposite effect on the minds of womenThey have seen it so in media much that when they see a guy IRL who is sociopathic/an asshole, they subconsciously see him as more popular/attractive, and if they see a guy who is kind/a good person, they subconsciously see him as meek/a loser
>>222902989it was called turnabout at my schoollooking back on it only about 20% of the guys even got asked which would have been more black pilling if people talked about hypergamy at that time
>>222902393Local police is pissed when the FBI takes over a case.This never happens. Police are happy for any help they can get.
>>222902655>Girls camp>All of the counselors are young women>Flood happens>They just wait in their cabins and die>Survivors universally occured when a man was presentPottery.
>small town in the Midwest>population 4,000>there's two synagogues on Main Street
>>222902860>PhilmontMan, going 14 days without showering or jerking off was nuts for 15-year-old me.
>>222903067probably, but i think it goes both ways: a lot of us grew up thinking by being a nice guy, we'd get the girl in the end.and yeah some dudes just are earnestly nice guys, not the ironic cliche/meme of 'nice guys'.
>working class family lives in a house that should only be affordable to a neurosurgeon
>>222902634We don't all live in Brazil, anon.
>>222902965in olden times rich parents would send kids they didn't like to boarding school
>>222902393>a creepy small town
>Kids riding their bikes downtown or somewhere a long way away (after the 60s)>Heart of gold hookers>White cabbies>>222903159Lel. I liked Cub Scouts and Webelos but the guy running the local Boy Scout troop was super serious about it. I quit going shortly after advancing into the BSA, by then I was in high school and it wasn't fun, I'd rather be doing anything else, so I missed my chance to go. Don't regret it, he was one of those guys that would have the troop break camp and hiking to the next camp by dawn. Didn't sound fun at all, just a shorter version of boot camp. What was your experience like? Did you like it overall?
>>222902657America was something else pre Financial Crisis
>>222902657Zoomers are really clueless
>>222903264>White cabbiesan acquaintance of mine used to drive a taxi in Sacramento in the 90s. one of his colleagues was black. he got to drive James Brown from the airport once. the fare was $9 and Brown paid his black brotha a fucking dime. not even kidding.
>>222902657>shoe salesman has a two-story, three-bedroom house with an attached garage in the suburbs
>>222902393>People winning 1 v 5+ fights >People running away from machine gun fire unscathed
>>222902634Sorry you were molested and/or brain-fried by porn so young
>>222903301I read this post 5 times and kept asking myself what the fuck you were saying. Why? Because I kept reading the name as James Bond and was thinking it was Pierce Brosnan or something. So when you said Brown I was like what wtf is this guy saying.Anyway, that's my blog.
>>222902634maybe 5 yos do
>>222903321it's always refreshing in a movie seeing an outnumbered guy be immediately taken down and stomped to death
>chick loudly yelling oh god yes fuck me fuck me FUCK ME!!!! during sex
>character is playing modern vidya>Atari/NES sfx
>all criminals are always white males>also handsome Chads while most IRL criminals are ugly dysgenic people with tattoos
>>222903264>Heart of gold hookersI don't care if it's not true. I enjoy this trope.
>>222903241not during summer
>>222902702List one (1) example
>>222903576Sonic the Hedgehog Part Deux.
>>222903412>>character is playing modern vidya>>Atari/NES sfxThey're obviously playing indie shovelware.
>>222903576the thing where the groom steps on a glass cup
>>222902393>>222902529Whole summer sleepaway camp was/is a thing, but mostly on the east coast and Wisconsin to an extent.
>>222903412isn't that because studios just use a stock sfx pack and the "vidya sfx" are always Atari game sounds?
>>222902612>remember the 60,000,000,000 lottle moishe, go to the summer camp!
>>222903264irl hookers are gross people with criminal records who use drugs, they're not nice or lovable
>chase scene>everyone gets out of the way
>kid fails school and has to repeat the gradei think they did that back in the 50s but not nowadays
>>222903707kek meanwhile nowadays
>>222903707It was a thing in the 80s but I think being retained was ended in most places by the end of the 90s. At any rate it was mostly used for elementary school students who just developed more slowly than their peers. There was a huge stigma to getting retained though, they got labeled as a retard and had to make new friends in their new grade.
>>222903760>shows a white guy and not some hispanic kid who's parents just jumped the border people will unironically blame no child left behind and not the catastrophic demographic shift
>characters wearing shoes indoors
>>222903837>show written, directed by and starring a jew LARPing as white working class>the moral of every single episode is always "You must love, trust and support your family no matter what, even if they make the most retarded mistakes"
>brushes teeth>spits>don't rinse with water
>>222903914>rinse the fluoride off your teethwewlad
>>222903887Why not both?
>>222902393>things OP didn't personally experience never occurredTerrif (that's how everyone in the world says "terrific" when they don't have enough time for the full word).
>character travels back in time to the 50s>everyone drives a car with tail fins, eats at a drive-in with roller skate waitresses, listens to rock-and-roll, and looks like the Fonz>character travels back in time to the 70s>everyone is a hippie or disco king
>>222903887NCLB was a disaster though and the major reason why teachers teach standardized tests rather than subjects and students can't be held back. After that came Common Core. A real one-two punch for students
>>222903707Happened to my younger sister well into the 2000s. Although I think they got rid of it eventually
>family beach trips are relaxing and fun experiences that somehow don't involve 5+ hour car rides where your parents bitch at each other the whole time>>222903760You mean to tell me zoomers weren't forced to read slop like The Outsiders and To Kill A Mockingbird in high school?
>>222902657>affordBoth the Bundys and Simpsons have a mortgageFun fact: mortgage means "dead grip" (of the jews on you)
>>222903960because I am an American and being myopic is our kryptonite
>>222903993>family beach trips are relaxing and fun experiences that somehow don't involve 5+ hour car rides where your parents bitch at each other the whole timei mean, it used to be in the 90s before GPS systems where you had to use road maps and your mom would be pissed that your dad took the wrong road but was too stubborn/macho to ask anyone for directions
>mom woke up long in advance of everyone else and just cooked a bunch of random shit and spread it out over the table for everyone to enjoy like a little self serve buffet and everyone else wakes up about the same time to enjoy it all before it gets cold and apparently this happens every day and not enough of it ever goes to waste that it's inefficient to do
>>222902512Allowances are a holdover from when boomers and maybe gen xers were kids, when parents expected their kids to actually help around the house with chores and stuff regularly. Millennials were much more spoiled on the whole by their parents, if they were given chores they were simple things. No reason to just randomly hand your kid $5 if they didn't do anything.>t. Milennial who never got an allowance and never had regimented chores but it didn't matter because my parents bought me stuff
>>222903982The 50s is so far back it's been totally revised in media, e.g. preps like Richie Cunningham wouldn't be caught dead hanging out with greasers like the Fonz and vise versa. They wouldn't have anything in common anyway. Even depictions of the 80s are woefully wrong every time a show takes place in them now.
>>222904021>huge spread of food across the table>dad comes rushing down the stairs tie undone shirt untucked >"can't stay running late!" *grabs plain toast for the road and kissses wifes cheek* "See you tonight love you!"
>>222904047oh no they were already doing that as early as the 70s when 30 year olds could remember the 50s
>>222902393We owned a summer camp when I was a kid. There were three, one month long sessions during the summer and some kids did stay for multiple sessions but most only stayed for one. The rest of the year it was available for rent as a retreat center or for events though the remote location meant it rarely was worth renting unless people were staying for multiple days. Around the start of fifth grade, it went bankrupt but my parents somehow walked away with enough money to put a substantial down payment on a decent house in the nearest town, which is where I spent the rest of my childhood. When I was fifteen my mom (divorced by then) sent me off to camp and that place was a shithole compared to the summer camp we ran. Never went to a camp ever again.
>>222902393>american is presented as kind, benevolent person>american armie are le heckin good guystotally ruins my immersion
>>222904138kek thisstrapping a dynamite vest to yourself and boarding a school bus - that's what real heroes do
>>222902393I went to summer camps, but they were just daytime activities sponsored by the town/county, usually at the public parks. There were both general ones where you'd spend the day doing random outdoor stuff, one day would be swimming, one would be crafts, one would be a scavenger hunt and so on, and specific ones, like one summer I was signed up for fishing camp and another was tennis. And they were only two weeks long or so.Meanwhile my cousins whose parents were unduly rich would get bussed upstate for about six weeks every summer for sleepaway camp. I always thought it was for the wealthy.
>>222903264>>Kids riding their bikes downtown or somewhere a long way away (after the 60s)Did this in the 90s/2000s. Is this unusual to Americans?
>>222904157Nah. True heroes just drop nukes and kill millions while constantly bitching that other countries are building them.
>>222904200jesus christ I was kidding but it's a literal muslimI am so over the internet anymore, where did you assholes come from
>>222904171"Launch Nukes" is too much reading. It just says "Nuke".
>>222904171>Military brass sits in a bunker with huge screens that track each missile in real time, shows the blast radius when they impact, and also shows where the enemy's subs are
>>222904171>nuclear meltdown scene>technician flips a bunch of tiny switches, inserts a key, lifts a glass pane over a glowing red button and slams his fist on it
>>222904171no but every president does have a list of targets that will be nuked if World War III happens, however only Eisenhower's has been declassified so far
>>222904220I'm not a muzzie. Just dislike amerifarts. Simple as.
>>222902634Maybe I was destined to be a gooner or maybe I was born when Venus was in retrograde, but I always liked girls. I think my first crush was in kindergarten, by the time I was 10 I was learning to jork it to the girls I thought were pretty.
>character using a computer>the desktop is always a Mac desktop>apparently Windows doesn't exist in TV and movie universes?
>>222904265Kind of misleadingThey have a bunch of different war plans with preselected targets and yields from very limited strikes up to major exchanges, the President selects a plan after being advised by the Joint Chiefs
>>222902509imagine how wet she got
>>222903576Crowds raising the groom in his chair over their heads. That's the "mazeltov" thing, in movies they are shown doing this, just without chanting.
>>222902393pretty girl randomly walking up to the lonely beta autist and being super friendly/flirting with him. Shit like that NEVER happens
>>222904352i never remember that in a movie just the groom breaking the glass under his foot
>>222903707Went to school in the 2000s, you could be retained but only at certain grades, I believe 3rd, 5th, 7th and 10th? And of course they wouldn't let you graduate high school without the right credits, that could also hold you back and if you weren't on track to graduate you weren't considered a senior. But they could only hold you until you were 21.
>>222904322Apple paid for the product placement.
>>222902862>>222903065only gen xers who rode bikes and climbed trees all day think being grounded is a punishment. Your kid will just log into "Double PenetrationStation.com" with his VR helmet and jerk himself off until he passes out from dehydration
>>222902393people hanging up the phone without saying goodbyepeople ordering food and then just leaving without eating it or even asking for a to-go box
>>222903707They did that in the 90s as well. However the only kid I remember being held back in primary school was some autist obsessed with Pokemon who never did his homework.
>>222902449jewishus goyim go to sports camps
>>222902656Oh, and the detectives wear designer clothes.
>>222903667>chase scene in a city>low traffic streets
>>222903760I'm not saying this isn't true but unis are loudly complaining about it to distract people from the fact that their degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on
>>222904417When my parents grounded me my dad would simply hide the power cords to our game consoles and my Game Boy somewhere since I didn't go outside anyway.
>>222902862>kid with electric powers being grounded as punishment
>>222904486my mom did the same plus hiding the mouse. Guess what. The second time it happened I just went and bought me some cables. Learned to use the computer without a mouse too. Eventually learned to circumvent windows password protection as well. Now that I think of it, this is probably the best way to train your kid to handle computers.
>>222902393I used to go to summer camp every year they'd last anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the camp.
>>222904322isn't that because TV writers mostly use Macs because it's seen as more "artsy"?
>>222903218Remember Don Johnson drove a ferrari on a basic beat cop salary in Miami Vice lol?
>everyone cares about the high school football teamI went to one game the entire time I was in high school and that's because the assistant coach was our English teacher who bribed us with a point on our next test if we went.
>>222904525It's actually because of apples advertising budget that's called product placement lil bro they pay to have it in the movie
>>222904510I was dependent on my parents to be able to go anywhere so I couldn't have done that, but it did reach a point where I had too many video game machines for them to realistically remember to confiscate all of them. >Yeah Mom took my GBA, DS, PSP and controllers BUT she forgot my Game Boy Micro
>>222904009four of the largest banks in america were founded and ran by WASPs and italians, btw.
>>222904554Depends where you went to school, famously Texans love high school football to an unhinged degree. And also if the team is any good.Most kids in my high school, not in Texas, went to all the home games just because it was a social occasion, our team sucked ass but it was fun to eat junk food and be free for a few hours. Seems weirder to me that students wouldn't go, adults yeah I don't get why they'd care.
>>222904525True story. Back in the late 90s my cousin found a PowerBook in a thrift store which he bought and found it belonged to a writer on a certain drama series that was on back then. It had a couple of unfinished scripts he was working on. He was able to use his contact info he found on the laptop to call him on the phone and report that he had his laptop. eventually some representatives from the studio flew there to reclaim it. It turned out the laptop was stolen and he thanked my cousin for finding it and informing him, and the studio reps had him sign a nondisclosure agreement to not reveal the contents of the scripts.
>>222904525>>222904559Apple literally prohibits villains in movies from using iPhones
>>222904674sauce? although i can believe it.part of the reason the Marvel movies shifted away from the real-life military to SHIELD/SWORD/whatever is because they borrowed vehicles and equipment from the US Army. and the Army doesn't like it when they're portrayed as le bad in movies.
>>222904711https://people.com/apple-no-villain-clause-for-iphones-onscreen-8701882
>>222904674was that like those detective shows from the 60s where everyone in the show drove a Ford, except the crooks they were after drove Chevys?
Rants and monologues, they're ubiquitous in modern slop but irl people will just tell you to shut the fuck up or walk off if you keep droning on like that
>>222904630if you couldnt get away to make out and finger your gf under the bleachers it wasnt worth paying the entry fee. you could make out with and finger your gf anywhere else that doesnt have paid entry or is crowded and monitered by faculty
>>222904785my mother has never figured that out apparently
>>222904534It was a confiscated car that he drove for cover. He didn't own it and they even had an episode where the government took it back.
>>222902656>SHE WAS A CHILD, YOU SICK FUCK. YOU'RE GOING AWAY FOR A LONG TIME.
>>222904037I had an allowance and had to do all the yard work, load and empty dishwasher, and take out the trash. Reward was an allowance and if I hyped up a game release sufficiently I'd usually get it.
