It’s not the sneakers they’re laughing about. Sorry man.

23

u/McJuggernaugh7 1d ago

Definitely not. Those sneakers are killshots 2 pretty timeless pair of casual shoes. It's the white socks and shorts that gotta go.

u/hotk9 1d ago

So barefeet in shoes and underwear?

u/PM_me_ur_claims 1d ago

What kind of shorts are cool now? I have kids and never get out and never have time to consume media

u/WoodBoogerSpork 23h ago

As an AARP member, those shorts seem fine to me. The socks on the other hand.

u/CucumberBoy00 1d ago

Maybe these were the ancient harpees

Everyone is gets criticism from these crazy bird's, I like how they are laughing so much,😁😆🤣😂

u/SoothingDisarray 1d ago

At first I thought it was one of those awful laughing audios that people for some reason put over nominally amusing videos in order to make it clear we're supposed to find it funny. But, no, it was the birds!

These birds could get studio work doing laugh tracks for sitcoms.

u/ReasonableExplorer 1d ago

What do they mean by dragged?

71

u/loveincarnate 1d ago

It's not common slang but it basically means insulted, and is short for 'dragged through the mud' or something like that. The other person who responded is a dumb jerk, don't mind them.

u/loveincarnate 1d ago

u/Realmofthehappygod 23h ago

Considering it's slang, likely the opposite.

u/Godspams 1d ago

I think it's the socks

u/Walter_Armstrong 1d ago

I'll throw shade at you, my pretty, and your shoes too!

u/mrplinko 1d ago

For sure the hat. 😄

u/badRLplayer 22h ago

After reading the comments, I assume the parrots are saying "what are those?" But I can't hear anything over the laughter.

2

u/MyBigRed 21h ago

Where is this?

2

u/Prudent-Froyo5177 19h ago

Unpopular opinion: that’s the cool way to wear socks again

2

u/Cute_Definition_6314 17h ago

It's the socks.🤣🤣🤣

u/Hanyodude 1d ago

Who’s flaming new balance shoes? They’re by far the most comfortable for people who stand/walk a lot

If we’re gonna shit on a “shoe”, it’s either crocs or nike slides

u/Danilo-11 1d ago

I had a parrot just like those when I was a kid, I can’t wait to get another one.

u/Goldencol 1d ago

What's wrong with New Balance shoes? I'm out of the loop for some time

u/Iused2bdead 1d ago

Pretty sure those are Nikes. SWOOSH

u/PushPullLego 1d ago

Read the title again.

u/DadCelo 1d ago

I think the swoosh was meant to emphasize it's a joke

u/Objective-Bike-4292 1d ago

I don't see them dragging him anywhere...

u/rotatorkuf 1d ago

i hate the way ppl talk theae days man, just use any random word as an adverd or adjective and let them sort it out

u/Objective-Bike-4292 1d ago

It's like they don't understand the language they speak.

6

u/LouisIsGo 1d ago

Yes, English, a language known for never changing over time. /s

u/outlawpickle 1d ago

How ironic that you don’t understand that being “dragged through the mud” is an idiom, and being “dragged” is shorthand to refer to this.

Yeah, who tf supports Nike still. Gross.
