The joke NO ONE got in my cinema...

When Rick was telling Jill he no longer loved her, everyone in my cinema was confused when he said "You're no longer in my Top 5." Loads of people were asking their friends "What's Top 5?" and their friends just shrugged or didn't respond. I was really shocked. Well, actually, I wasn't considering 98% of the audience (my friend and me being the other 2%) were aged 12 - 16.

Anyway, that's just my two cents that I thought I'd share.

"Perhaps it is simply not funny. [shrug] "

this.
I am 14, and that joke has always seemed terrible. Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie, but this joke is terrible and it's gonna be dated very soon, and even then, it's just a reference to something with no real joke attached. Like Family Guy.

Nobody got the top five joke? I thought they were talking about cellphones.

i'm pretty sure that it was about the cell phone plan thingy that you can call unlimited or w/e with the 5 people you talk to the most :]

i got it right off the bat, but i can see how some people couldn't

I laughed. I thought it was a MySpace joke. xD

[–] raypdaley182 16 years ago

he held up a mobile phone when he said it.
so why would you think it was about Myspace?

[–] xXKangriXx 16 years ago

Because in MySpace, you have a Top 8, which is a list of your Top 8 friends.
And he was holding up a Sidekick, which has internet capabilities, so he could have been on MySpace.
But the joke was obviously about T-Mobile's Top 5 plan.

Those people in your audience apparently don't have TVs either. I got the joke since I've seen those "you're in my five" commercials last year.

[–] JudgementEden 16 years ago

He was refering to the plan with T-Mobile. They let you put up to five people on your phone to call for an unlimited amount of minutes. Golly, does EVERYONE use Verizon!? I got the joke right away, since I have T-Mobile.

I thought that was one of the funniest gags.

[–] lunarose 15 years ago

I have verizon, but I think anybody with cell phones and a TV is familiar with T-Mobile's "Top 5", since this is one of the things they push on their TV ads.

I'm not in the USA either but when he said it, you saw I think 5 icons on his mobile, so I figured it was something like this.. not that hard to understand.

What're you, friggin' nuts? Top 5 is not Top 8, so why would anyone assume because the type of phone he held up (you actually think everyone in the audience knew the brand and style of phone? You need to get out more often. Maybe try and find a girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever)they all automatically would assume "oh, he must mean top 8"???
Damn, cut back on the rock, dude.

[–] FrmSyriaWithLuv 13 years ago

Idk what wrong with the person above me, but you can change your top friends to any number you want on myspace. I have a top 5 list. Buy anyways I got the joke, not just because I had that plan when I had my razor, but also because of the tv adds which led me to get it in the first place, so I don't get what was wrong with those idiots in your theater...

Don't let him gonna! No, don't wanna!

Not sure why anyone would have a problem with that joke, I have cingular and I got it right away just from the TV ads about "My 5"
