[Top Gun]

[klutzygirl]

I actually love that scene, but people actually do that in real life? Why? It'd cause so much secondhand embarrassment (LOL, I can't even read "character sings karaoke to another character" fic because it's too cringeworthy) and doesn't seem like that great of an idea.

[(Anonymous)]

I've definitely had karaoke sung to me.

This does not mean it was any less embarrassing or awkward, and I like the guy.

It was quite funny in high school when a friend did it to me when we were leaving a diner at 2 in the morning.

But, I mean, it was high school, and we were leaving a diner at 2 in the morning. You know, the circumstances are what they are, and things are funny in different ways in that circumstance (& one's sense of humor, and of what is deeply embarrassing, is not perhaps as refined as it will later become).

[(Anonymous)]

That scene never pretended to be anything but two buddies doing a routine to impress a woman. I can see not liking that at face value but something about your secret gives me the impression that you think it is trying to be something else or maybe other people took it another way.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh god yes, that would be incredibly embarrassing.

I feel the same way about many of the public engagement videos floating around on YT.

Welp, guess what song I have stuck in my head now.

Secret 9 - Top Gun

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is a screencapture of the movie "Top Gun" where ther is this man in an Air Force uniform (?) holding a microphone and singing? to a young woman in the middle of a crow somewhere indoors. People around them are looking expectantly and smiling, and the woman looks flattered and/or embarrassed.]

I've always HATED this scene and I cringe when people reenact it in real life because it seems like the dudest of dudebro moments. I'd be mortified if someone did this to me.

Navy uniform, actually.

Thank you! Will correct on the other page!

[(Anonymous)]

What exactly qualifies as a dudebro moment?

[(Anonymous)]

Possibly because in the scene, the way it plays out the Kelly McGillis character comes off as a humorless bitch if she doesn't let him (Tom Cruise character) talk to her after singing to her. He puts her on the spot in front of a bar full of his Navy buddies, and it's sparked by a rivalry between him and the Anthony Edwards character.

Or maybe because it's Tom Disgusting Cruise. I suppose it could be worse, he could've grinned like a maniac while jumping on a couch and pretending to be straightstraightstraaaaaaaiiiiiight.

[(Anonymous)]

People singing karaoke to you is about as cringeworthy as all those people who really, really want to do a little show act at someone's wedding despite being completely devoid of talent. I know it's a sweet gesture, but damn, please stop.
