You’ve probably seen at least one video of people lobbing popcorn everywhere while watching A Minecraft Movie by this point, because it’s not enough just to cheer and have a bit of a chuckle when the chicken jockey scene pops up. Well, it now looks like at least one moviegoer has taken things even further into ‘you’re kinda being a bellend’ territory, by smuggling a live chicken into a screening.
Yeah, there’s now a clip of an actual animal being roped into a scenario that probably scares the life out of it because these kinds of memes always have to turn into a p**sing contest to see who can make them not quite as funny in thre quickest time. In this case, two instances of that have happened at once – thanks, real chicken smuggler and Jimmy Fallon.
As far as the former’s concerned, TikTok looks to have limited viewing and sharing of the original clip showing them and their actual chicken because it’s unsurprisingly concluded that the video “may not be comfortable for some audiences”.
Naturally, this being the internet, there are plenty of pages across the socials that’ve yoinked the clip and uploaded it themselves, because it meets the lofty criteria required to be ‘HOURLY🕑 shitpost’ material. As you might expect, it shows the live chicken being brandished by someone riding on someone else’s shoulders as the chaos erupts in reaction to the chicken jockey line. There’s also a shot of it seemingly walking around in the cinema’s concourse afterwards.
Look, we here at VG247 appreciate a good gag, but putting a live animal in this situation ain’t cool. I know it might seem it if you’re an edgy 12 year old in search of clout, but trust me, leave the chickens at home. Also, it’s kinda dickish to waste good popcorn.
The good news is that we may well not have to worry about people taking the chicken jockeying any further than this, cos American late night TV host Jimmy Fallon and his Tonight Show have just done what they do best – killed the joke dead, RIP. I mean, just watch the clip below.
Do you really want to be the person who keeps on making chicken jockey gags now that people might be reminded of that when they hear or see you? No, you don’t. It’s over. Time to find the next thing.
Hey, maybe you might find some material in this feature if you don’t want to wait for the inevitable sequel. There’s a chicken jockey in it, I swear.
