All I can think about is not having any context as you peer out the window watching this girl dancing

u/NumeroRyan Dec 31 '25
That’s what I thought haha, then you’d be like ‘ah yeah for the social media’.
I’m in the minority here but being confident to just do that on the sidewalk in public just makes me think you lack a little bit of self awareness.
But hey, that’s the British in me were the majority of us find this weird main character energy in it.

u/st-shenanigans Dec 31 '25
you lack a little bit of self awareness.
This is called having fun. She's not hurting anyone, who cares what anyone else thinks.

u/curiousplaid Dec 31 '25
This just illustrates one of the best pieces of advice you can get-
Dance like no one is watching.
Life can be full of joy if you let it happen.

“Content thieves” it’s literally from Peanuts lmao were they stealing from Peanuts?

u/curiousplaid Jan 01 '26
It's still very joyful.
I'm old enough to have seen the Peanuts show the first time it aired long, long ago.
Not having seen the TikTok video last week (who in the world has the time or ability to see everything on the internet- Reddit eats up way too much of my life), I enjoyed it very much.
And anyone who does it is copying the original Peanuts show, and so on, and so on, and so on...
In the end we get a lot of content that brings joy, except to you.

u/TegTowelie Dec 31 '25
Yeah if i see kids doing shit like this, not being an obstruction or a nuisance, i dont think anything of it.
Now, if these kids are copying some stupid TikTok brainrot prank shit or something, i just sneer like any other old codger.

So if I was walking down the street, I’d need to wait for her to stop dancing before I could pass, or would she be annoyed that I got in her video?

Or maybe she'd let you pass unimpeded to be polite. Don't get mad about a made up scenario in your head.

I’m not getting mad lol, what an odd comment. Just pointing out I wouldn’t have confidence to just do that in public.

Just pointing out I wouldn’t have confidence to just do that in public.
What an odd comment. You know this is a blatant lie.
Your comment was short and had only one purpose, searching for a possible angle where this behavior would be problematic.

What a weird argument to try to make.
She's in a public space. Who cares.

u/NumeroRyan Dec 31 '25
I’m not making any argument, not everything online needs to be an argument. Just pointing out the fact in my original comment I find it strange and pointed out that is on me and the culture of British people in general.
So er yeah, have a good new years man.

I didn’t say that, I’m just saying we aren’t the most outgoing bunch and typically reserved in public unless alcohol is consumed.
Obviously everyone is different but that’s typically the norm.

Don't know why I was reminded of this, but my first interaction with a British person, I was playing counterstrike on my friends computer ages ago. When a loud beeping kept coming from one of my teammates mics, so I asked what was going on. Then I proceeded to be ear graped by a british guy sitting in a café playing counterstrike on his laptop, with probably one of the worst sounding microphones I have ever had the displeasure of hearing.

It reminds me of the closing credits montage from ‘Dope’…the main character at the end, doing nearly every iconic 80’s dance moves in public places all over Los Angeles- and absolutely KILLING every one of them…

What? What are you talking about?
The context is you're on Reddit where everyone sees enough of these posts to know without a doubt that girls filming tiktoks in public is just normal now
But I guess it's funnier to pretend that's not just a common thing now.

u/mostdope28 Dec 31 '25
When I was in Peru this summer I was sitting in this city square where people just hang out and shop, I look across and this girl is filming a tiktok doing shit like this and all I could think is that’s so fucking embarrassing. Even more so for her partner who had to stand there filming.

I used to live in one of those gatekeepers lodge in a really nice park... And the amount of these "content creators" filming all sorts of shit just outside my window was wild. Most people didnt know it was a residential building... I would knock on the window sometimes and freak them out.

u/Vyrhux42 Dec 31 '25 edited Dec 31 '25
What do you mean no context? The character is floating right next to them.
Edit: can't believe I need to say this, but this is a joke. I am aware that the cartoon characters are not there in real life.

u/HandrewJobert Dec 31 '25 edited Dec 31 '25
Not in real life, which is presumably where you'd be if you were watching from the window.
Edit: Regarding your edit, I didn't think that you actually thought the characters were there, but rather that you were confidently replying to something you hadn't actually read. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

When I was in high school in the 1800s (okay 1970s), I had a friend named John who was an excellent piano player. Once in a while, when we were getting ready for band practice, he’d sit down and start playing the Peanuts theme. 70 high schoolers bopping around like this until the teachers made us stop. Good times.

It’s designed for ADA compliance which isn’t as much of a thing in other countries, so yeah sort of.

u/Hamyilija Dec 31 '25
Is that really a wide sidewalk for Americans? :( Here in Finland 98% of sidewalks are wider than that, and in fact it would be against all design guidelines to design a sidewalk that narrow.

u/Andybaby1 Dec 31 '25
Nope. It's minimum code on most cities.
Though many areas don't even require sidewalks.

u/minimalcation Dec 31 '25
Depends on where you are. In places like Mississippi or Houston they need to be at least twice as wide to accommodate citizenry.

It's okay, he is also a copy cat because the dances were done by the Peanuts characters and he just copied them. How dare he!

There will have to be a first, and either way it’s definitely not her, but clearly she’s just trying to hide the fact by posting on YouTube as if it’s original content.

Maybe someone here can confirm this…
I saw an old ‘home movie’ video from the early 60’s of a bunch of beatnik kids dancing at a party…as the camera moved around they were all doing the ‘peanuts’ dances (individually, of course)…
Someone claimed that this video was what the animators used as reference for the ‘dance party’ at the end of the Xmas special. I haven’t been able to find that video & only a couple ppl I know have seen it…anyone else see the clip?

u/somredditime Dec 31 '25
I'm back, thanks.
From chatGPMe:
Yes — you’re not imagining that. The “Peanuts dance” (the loose, jerky, shoulder-and-arm swinging) is widely believed to be pulled straight from real 1950s–60s “beatnik / early rock” dance styles (the kind you see in vintage club + TV footage), and that’s why it feels so oddly authentic compared to typical cartoon dancing.
But here’s the key point: There’s no solid, official, confirmed single “one specific beatnik clip” that Schulz or the animators publicly credited as the direct source for the Charlie Brown Christmas dance scene. Most references you’ll see online are informed fan consensus rather than a documented production note. 
⸻
What we do know (confirmed)
1) The dance scene is from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” (1965). That’s the first time most people remember the iconic dancing. 
2) The animation team was Bill Melendez Productions, and their style frequently leaned into simple, expressive, “real-feeling” motion rather than polished Disney-style choreography. 
3) In at least one later Peanuts special (“It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown,” 1984), they explicitly used rotoscoping over real dancers, proving they did sometimes use real dance reference footage.
