The John Fetterman of Hollywood.
I get not dressing fancy all the time but this guy dresses for an award show like my toddler going to the park. I’m surprised they let him in lol
If your famous enough, they’ll let you slap people on stage these days.
He wears what’s comfortable, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Adam Sandler is famous for shooting movies in exotic/fun locations so that it doubles as a vacation for him and the actors/crew. He’s beloved in the industry, and widely regarded as a good, friendly, loyal, down to earth person. Why on earth should someone like that be excluded from an awards show?
I think it was also part of a skit.
Hes rich, that’s the only reason. I like to dress comfy too but if you show up to a black tie event in shorts, it’s not being comfy, it’s being a disrespectful jerk.
Please explain how wearing a hoodie to a “black tie event” is disrespectful, and who it’s disrespectful to.
People need to find things to be mad over apparently. No one was disrespected. They clearly let him in dressed like that. And aside from the chat here no one is talking about this…
No one was disrespected
I say it’s disrespectful to the attendees who put in the effort and money into looking nice for an evening where everybody agreed this would be the norm. I can’t speak for these celebrities, but if it were my party and it was explicitly formal, I’d be annoyed about someone not following decorum.
It’s disrespectful to the people who set it up and to everyone else who is there to have a nice evening. Im not big on wrestling formal attire but I got invited to see the nutcracker at the symphony so I put on a nice sweater. Imagine you invite someone to a wedding and they show up like that, you’re gonna say that’s not disrespect I mean if you don’t find dressing like that to a black tie event disrespectful that’s just a reflection on you
How exactly does “seeing a man wearing shorts and hoodie” affect your “nice evening?” Seems weird to let something so small that is completely unrelated to you affect you so much that you feel disrespected. Honestly I’d argue your projection is more a reflection on you here.
Ok boomer
It’s disrespectful to the people who set it up and to everyone else who is there to have a nice evening.
How
I mean if you don’t find dressing like that to a black tie event disrespectful that’s just a reflection on you
How
I’m begging you, explain how it’s disrespectful. I don’t think you can, because I think you agree with me that it isn’t actually disrespectful.
It’s not my job to educate you or teach you manners or how to live in a society. How can I explain all that in a chat reply when you’re clearly ignorant and weren’t raised right. I can’t fix you dude
If you understood how it’s disrespectful, it wouldn’t be hard to explain. Here’s an example:
Sexual assault is disrespectful because it violates a person’s bodily autonomy, which is a fundamental human right.
See? Easy. Now, try that for “people who dress wrong”.
The community is selectively bred Redditors, fam. We’re just lucky they ban the obvious racism here.
Just pop your head into the threads about how showers are a scam or whatever and keep it in mind whenever you’re talking to them
Dress codes. We just went over this.
Did we?
Yes
I just read the whole conversation, and I don’t believe you did.
There are two kinds of people, people that understand context
And those to make shit up in their head got you and I know which one you are.
Wait this is not photoshopped?
Probably not, there’s been a lot of discussion about him never dressing up.
Personally, I think this is one of his more admirable traits. Most of his movies are mediocre, but dude’s just keeping comfy and keeping his friends around for his movies. Seems to be enjoying life and I think that’s more important than the imdb ratings.
As someone living in a very touristic place, it’s really hard to distinguish Americans from wealthier Brits. You pretty much have to hear them speak. Poorer Brits definitely stand out and I’m guessing so would poorer Americans but we don’t get a lot of poor Americans (for obvious reasons). It’s easy to spot Scandinavians and as I’m from eastern Europe I can easily pick up Poles and tell them apart from Russians and Ukrainians. Spanish and Italians are also easy to recognize and distinguish. I’m not a waiter so I don’t know which ones are the worst customers.
It’s funny being an American in Scandinavia wearing Haglofs, Fjallraven, and Mascot. Everyone is confused as shit when I greet them in their language but then immediately pivot to English.
Honestly; I hate when tourists do that, because it gives me linguistic whiplash and then i can’t parse the first English sentence following the greeting.
I know the French seem to be more friendly and cooperative if you start out with whatever little French you might know, but Scandinavians generally prefer if you just start out in English.
In Spain, in museums or coastal towns I can have entire conversations with someone such that I’m speaking Spanish and they speak English. They just don’t register that I’m speaking Spanish. In other places they don’t speak English so there are no issues.
After working with poles for years, I can recognize them on the street without them saying a word.
I would hope so? Are you a lineman?
Yeah, for the county
Unpopular opinion: the Wade Hayes cover is superior. I’m sorry, it just is.
This guy picks up poles. Tsk tsk.
First of all, Adan Sandler is an American saint so shut up.
Secondly, he looks comfortable as hell so what’s the problem.
I see what’s going on here…
So sorry to interruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupt!
But that is America!
Fuckin’ Bruges
I will never forget that group of tourists that, many many years ago, came to see the Pope in Germany and, while waiting for the underground, for reasons that elude me, started chanting: “USA! USA! USA!” 😐
I have a hard time not yelling “play ball!” Every time I hear the national anthem or pledge of allegiance. I also always substitute under dog in the latter.
Just start randomly yelling other stuff in the same cadence. Most of my countrymen (especially those that would do something so rude) are easily confused. “401K! UFO! Free CJ!”
i saw a guy doing that by himself once. at night. in -15° weather. facing a locked loading door at a university campus.
a peculiar breed.
I do that in the bathroom mirror every Tuesday morning while waving my guns in the air.
Do it three times in a row and JD Vance appears and soils your sofa.
Fuck, the mirror-person has guns! Shoot 'em!
Having seen the YouTube, I’ve learned the ONLY chant for the train queue is “im-ho-tep! Im-ho-tep!”
Huh. Fascinating thought process I’m sure, no matter what it was.
I’m sure there was very little thought, let alone a process of them.
Well, probably not. Quite possibly just an instinct.
911 was a really stressful time for the US. It left some… marks on the psyche. Mix that with a general lack of education and you end up with that. Just count yourself lucky you don’t have to live here.
I mean, I get that it’s utter shit right now and has been for some years and I don’t envy anyone who can’t get out. But this wasn’t yesterday. And you don’t see other nationalities going around being very loudly nationalistic and frankly antagonistic like that after they had some national tragedy.
We’re supposed to excuse Americans for what they endured in 9/11 but fuck if we show any signs of empathy with Iraqis that lost half a million people because George W Bush threw a tantrum.
This guy is perpetually a 20 year old man living in 1997
He was already pulling that in 97 when he was around 30 heh. He has become an IRL Billy Madison and I am proud of him.
At least he has that woman that never remembers anything when she wakes up.
some people know how to live
Also, Chinese tourists everywhere.
And god forbid you ever have to be near any of the Saudi royal family.
I worked with a doctor whose in-laws were Saudi royalty. He didn’t need to work at all he was so wealthy.
I heard about him doing an incredibly greedy thing that blew my mind one day; he showed up at a dinner that a drug company was hosting for another adjacent program he had nothing to do with and did not practice in at all. He didn’t even tell them he was coming, they had to find him a seat, and then he sat down, ordered not one but TWO whole lobsters, and when they came he asked for them to be wrapped to go, and he left. Even acknowledging drug companies have large budgets for these kinds of things, to come to an event that has nothing to do with you and do that is insanely rude when you don’t want for a thing in the world.
I know someone else who is very wealthy, and he’s pretty generous and passionate about creating things, he’s far from perfect, but truly wants to make good things and runs a business that gives him zero profit, so the contrast was pretty stark. The doctor also stiffed his professional college for a very large membership bill.
That’s a g move for real. Fuck a drug company, take every penny you can from the locusts.
A drug company throwing a fancy dinner in order to influence doctors to ignore the needs of their patients is so unbelievably evil that fucking with them and stealing from them is always based and worthy of praise. Being rude to them is morally correct, since the act they were committing was already more rude to begin with.
Oh, this drug company is absolutely not like that at all. They are super ethical and invest every dollar of their profits into research. The dinner was to present a new treatment which has become super standard for the clinic, which involved one of our doctors presenting, I promise it was not like that at all. They are truly generous to us. There are not many treatments for this disease and this is one of the best. It was purely educational.
Yea that guy sucks then lol
grew up in a major European city with lots of tourism. Asian tourists are almost invisible on how unobnoxious they are. while Americans are loud and entitled. Germans and English tourists were annoying but only came to get drunk on the beach. Israeli tourists also tend to be entitled and annoying.
other groups were rare so not much to talk about them
I live in Prague and work every day in the center.
By far the worst are the Brits who get fall down drunk and try to start fights. Americans are only annoying in that they talk loudly and are often kind of dumb. But they are generally polite. They don’t hold a candle to the Brits. The rest are generally mild enough as to not be noticeable unless they are in a big group blocking the sidewalk which can be any nationality.
Visiting Prague right now and mostly noticing the Brits xD
Hard to miss unfortunately.
That’s on you though because you got the worlds best beer.
Yes. It is at once both a blessing and a curse.
Asian tourists are almost invisible on how unobnoxious they are.
Depends. Those big tourist groups are definitely an issue when the streets are already cramped without tourists and you have places to be.
From Barcelona. they only shop up on line a handful of corners, seems like they get off the bus on the Sagrada Familia or other simpler spots, take their picture and go back to the bus. I didn’t specify which eat Asians, because never gotten too close and no one complains about them.
Eating people is generally frowned upon.
*EAST ASIANS!!! EAST ASIANS!!!
oh fuck, I’m on a list now, aren’t I?
I’ve been to Barcelona, didn’t seem like a particularly cramped city. When I lived in a cramped, touristy city, my university was one of the attractions and right in the middle of the city center.
they do have a lot of policies to not overdo tourism and become a theme park. like banning airbnb or adding a tax on hotels for tourists…
it does help
It also helps that they have really wide streets compared to some other popular tourist destinations. Some of those old european towns have really narrow streets.
funny you mention. the ramblas is usually packed full of tourists. however all the cool local places for locals are a in that neighborhood a street away. all locals know that, and they enjoy that neighborhood, while you’ll rarely see tourists getting lost there.
“Asian tourists” pretty much says all I need to know about this lil anecdote…
Probably just a regional thing.
In the US it means East Asian, in the UK it means Southeast Asians.
I guess most places default to the US definition unless they have a big population like the UK due to the US exporting their language through media.
Doesn’t it mean Indians in the UK?
SEA is like Cambodia etc.
Yeah, pretty much.
it’s because they usually stuck to their buses. no idea if they were Japanese or Chinese, never saw them anywhere beyond talking pictures in some spots.
Sorry bud, you weren’t able to determine what country they were from by visual cues alone? It’s over for you. He knows who you are, deep down.
do they want me to try to remember and guess the nationality of people I saw from a distance 20 years ago?
not going by “they all look the same” but come on. you try to guess the nationality of a tourist you saw across the street 20 or so years ago
Tsk tsk, not having perfect recall about some random people you literally never interacted with? For shame.
He’s dressed like what I imagine Florida man dresses.
Florida Man doesn’t have that kind of money!
😂 😭
Don’t worry, you will hear them long before you see them.
Like t-rex?
Kind of… At least for the pick pocketers who make the mistake of thinking they are easy targets.
mom of eight
Oof. Basically a veteran.
No law against wearing a wedding dress to an opera and sitting almost completely out of frame
European wage + American tip… What’s the problem?
Obnoxious assholes, that’s the problem.
No we have them in Europe as well
If you count Brits as yurop, sure!
Why though? They might get an unusually high tip.
Doesn’t mean the encounter will necessarily be particularly pleasant.
Are we weaponizing discomfort again…already?
I wonder what you are referring to as well. Also ‘weaponizing discomfort’ sounds like something inappropriate while actually discomfort is a real thing and no one has to stand for it (in a certain degree). Not caring at all if you are causing others discomfort is the definition of selfishness. Recompensating somebody with a big tip, because you are a dick doesn’t make you less of a prick.
Weaponizing discomfort is toxic because it uses confusion and shame as control, making someone feel small and off balance instead of safe and understood, turning communication into emotional pressure rather than clarity.
Shame is as old as time, but people are always responsible for their own feelings.
Put another way sticks and stone may break my bones, but some people (kratzkopf) will always find some reason to justify being offended.
Sorry, I don’t know what you’re referring to.
It would be better phrased without ending the sentence with a preposition, such as, “Sorry, I do not know to what you are referring.”
Okay, cool, you did understand me though, yeah? Gonna explain what you meant earlier? The feeling of being scolded for something I said and not knowing what is one up with which it’s hard to put.
And just to reiterate a little more clearly, my whole point is your feelings are on you. I am responsible for my actions and words.
If shame was that valuable, fox news would have had us doing their dirty work long ago.
All I’m hearing is “If my shitty behaviour as a tourist in your country towards people in the service industry makes a person in the service industry feel bad, that’s their own fault (also here are some truisms about connection that seem neither here nor there)” and I SERIOUSLY hope that’s not what you’re saying.
Weaponizing discomfort is toxic because it uses confusion and shame as a form of control. It makes someone feel small and off balance instead of safe and understood, turning communication into emotional pressure rather than clarity.
Shame is as old as time. It is just another way of saying “fall in line.”
Real connection takes far more effort and far more courage. Owning your feelings and your actions is difficult, but it is also infinitely more worthwhile.
