I went to a performing arts high school and this is frighteningly accurate
Why does this comment have no replies?
At a school with a conservatory - "...you haven't heard Kamasi Washington's The Epic?... who *are* you?!"
Blue probably because you couldn’t reply directly to people 7 years ago I don’t think
@@ebonynaomi9694
Been on this platform for 15-20 years
As far back as I can remember there were replies to comments
They were displayed differently but...yea
Why type of person goes to a performing arts high school?
"It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed." - U.S Air Force Manual
Modern warfare?
That's just good life advice there
People always get so weird and polarized any time there's a bombing. I mean, okay, so your entire family were blasted to gory pieces of meat and organs or burnt to a screaming crisp in front of you. That doesn't mean you should be rude to the people who killed them! It's called being the bigger person~
@@hazukichanx408 Thank you for being the rare reasonable voice amidst all the madness.
Generally? So there are specific circumstances in which that would be advisable?
I had the same type of pressure at my dentistry school. Every one was like: "Did you read last night's assignment?" And I was like: "I want to be a hygienist! Not a bookworm! Ugh!" And Stephanie would always be like: "U don't even know what a molar is." and I would be up in her face: "Yah, maybe. But I do know what a moron is. You. You are."
The bottom line is 1) there will always be peer pressure and 2) If you want a tooth filled message me and I'll hook you up cheap.
LOL
Cool
you didn't read the assignments?😂
I take my hat off to you for not following the so called “in crowd”. They just want bring u down to their level. Peer pressure could lead to so many negatives. You got the best prices and they can’t even get customers who don’t have unnecessary insurance plans. Jokes on all them haters
ur funny but i wouldnt trust u to fill my teeth lol. sorry
Lost it at fishnet sleeves... Nothing like feeling the Onion's hot breath on my neck in the morning.
I still think it's gold. Even when it's not as slap-your-knees funny, it's still really great and subtle observational humor.
In what way?
Dude just ask a question from a comment that was left 7 years ago
Dylan is a transgender non-binary elephant now that can't reply to your question.
[stares at peanut]
I went to a highly gifted magnet program in middle school... my peers considered it socially unacceptable to wear anything in fashion because they counted fashion as “shallow” and “unintelligent”. Wild.
Wow where do you live lol
They hated being fashion culture so much that they invented their own rules of being fashionable, how fascinating
Judging someone based on how they dress….isn’t that a little shallow 🤔🤔
And if you dare say one bad thing about Patti Lupone you'll get a black eye and be forced to clean the dressing room and build sets
We went to a spoken words and interpretive dance performance last week, and she was the only who did not want to do the impromptu performance. then she refused to wear the spandex body suit.
this made my day as i was looking into art high schools recently
Did you ever find one?
Where did you end up going to high school? I don’t expect specifics for obvious reasons but did you go into art?
so did u go to one?
He is now an investment banker.
@@free22 Sad. Yet another hopeful artist's dreams abandoned for a career in finance.
I went to an arts school. This is accurate. Only, it was which disney movie had the best sound track. Early 90's.
The art highschool i went to for a year had a guy with a foot fetish that always asked girls "everyone has sensitivities, want to find out yours?"
dude
Dan schneider: the early years
bruh??????? i hope he's in jail now???
What the hell? 😂😂😂
Ugh. Student or teacher?
Still shocked that she mentioned Esperanza Spaulding.
You know what I heard? Samantha isn't even gay. She doesn't even pretend for brownie points.
No wonder she's a pariah.
hmmm... looks like she needs some 7up10 to me! great taste and only 10 calories get both with 7up10!
Wow, thank you dogshit!
What is “7up10?” 7 ten ups? Ten 7ups? Seventy 1ups?
@@Grgrqr it’s a soda pop it’s cherry-lime flavored. It’s pretty good, but not very well-known.
@@Grgrqr nothing
What's 7up with you?
It's tough now, there is a lot more competition out there with CNN, BBC and FOX just to name a few!!
🙈isn't that my awkward experience during my theatre studies
The title saying "goes in depth" but her lines being under a minute, is the funniest part
I support being up to date on the latest Esperanza Spalding album
oh my god, my school has the weirdest peer pressure too. Every one is a hillbilly and talk about trucks, boots, hunting, quads and fishing. Every one also listens to country music it is so fucking wierd
Hey, I like fishnet sleeves.
When read headline thought it said:
High School For The Performing Arts Goes In Depth About Some Really Weird Shit.
It must be a cold day in June
"It's art, so, who really gives a shit, am I right?"
everytime i read an onion video title i lol
Haha, sometimes the comments are funnier than the actual video clip! :)
precisely correct
I think I am that audience, I went to the Butler Tech School of Arts for high school lol
I actually went to the Philadelphia HS for performing arts (called CAPA) for drums and this was the bullshit stereotype everyone at other schools assumed about us. No one was like this
Audio levels for the interview scenes are a bit wonky.
she was nearly impossible to understand.
Still better than getting beat up
I can imagine
In 2021 this would be an actual MSNBC video
I overheard her talking about Interior Semiotics. Said it was "really weird and kind of stupid." Talk about pearls before swine...
The same social currency pressure was applied when a Troy Michigan congregation elder asked the group how many governing body members there are. I knew he wouldn't ask their names because he did not look down at his notes after asking the question. That same elder actually believed the lame excuse of obtaining a library card as the reason for the BORG becoming an NGO of the U.N. It would be laughable if it were not so serious.
I despise the "fanbase" surrounding the performing arts.
they don't think it be like it is, but it do
In the path of Art.. these troubles are what makes one stronger.
Would Michelangelo left such a brilliance upon this world if not held back by those around him. OF COURSE not..
I see a great future here for this student.
‘The latest Esperanza Spaulding albums’ loool
lol shooting for a small audience with this one, onion.
Esperanza Spalding, ha!
I'm sorry but isn't that school at Broad and Washington? Because that's a different building.
She should really talk to Silent Bob about it
Whatchu know about Esperanza Spaulding Youngblood?
Everything that a normal high isn't like. It's pretty much the best thing in existence. Not to mention the academics at my school are also off the charts, so it's basically all that I could ever hope for in a high school.
You often think you would see less of this in artist, creators, designers and such.
But the sad truth seems to be, most people are conformist, with a high tendency for groupthink.
:(
you actually see less of it in the sciences where people are very independent thinkers who challenge each other constantly. creative people develop a herd mentality quite easily - insecure egos all around, why would anyone be surprised?
@@A.Vagrant That's an illusion you have. In reality they are just as twisted.
@@timefortee no. Everyone's twisted, but there is definitely a difference.
@@timefortee non conformist mindsets are the reason that science has gotten this far.
That poor thing.
Nobody else comment, we must preserve this 7 year old comment section and all it’s wholesomeness
To be hated...
ARTS HIGHSCHOOL WOOOOOOOOOO
This one ain’t even a joke
true
When annotations are on, there are two watermarks in the bottom-right.
Looks like she could use some 7UP 10. Great taste, only ten calories! Get both!
Both ten calories?
Anyone else get this recommended now
me when my friends peer pressure me to watch anime
He left a while ago, RIP.
Not their best work.
She must work for The Verge.
poor girl :(
My point was obviously that this video can't be used as evidence for your claim that the Onion currently sucks. That should be clear. I didn't express an opinion about the current quality of the Onion. Unless of course you didn't intend to use this video as evidence. But in that case, why comment on this video? Obviously you thought it was new and now you know it isn't. For which, you're welcome.
I can relate
pfft, yeah right.
i go to an art school now and it is accurate
No really?
In this case "practice" means "scouring twitter and tumblr for avant garde bullshit."
Wait, I thought it was CAPA, not PAVA
Thought the thumbnail was Alexi Laiho
What do you mean you don't have a, migration background, vagina, gender disorder, handicap, or a different skin color, gender, or sexuality?
Haha! You must have it soo easy in your life. - is now the current standard at schools
the*
She had a Jack's Mannequin shit!
the sad part is that it's true, i go to a tech school
Hey random person on the internet, how are things going for you at your tech school?
Me in band class.
Hostage by your mom well by distraught people Rob
This is why I rejected art school.
That girl is clearly not 16 lol
I hope you're joking. They just went from really crude humor to more ironic humor. Get over it.
damn hipsters
I GO TO A HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
Noah's ark is the Achilles Heel of the bible? What are you talking about?
The Bible is the Achilles Heel of this Bible.
Meh...she looks 18 to me...
Ha Ha ! LOL
I think hipsters are pretty global thing
16? more like 35.
This is what I'm going through just as an artist, it's making me realise how much it doesnt matter n I should just do my thing
meh
wow! The replies show a lot of you people have no idea which channel posted this!
There is nothing sadder and more futureless than a teenager with some kind of artistic talent.
What about a teenager with some kind of philosophical talent? It was me, I was that teenager.
@@Hakajin How did you do?
@@lampyrisnoctiluca9904 Well, I'm an MA in Language and Literacy Education now, but I STILL don't know what I want to do with myself after that. Lol.
@@Hakajin Like our wishes ever come true... Everything that counts is a strugle to get. You would never have the perfect life you expected in your yought. Whether that life would be good depends on you and your circumstances. Just do something meaningfull with your life. You are the one who decides what meaningfull means.
I was a "gifted" student. I exceled in nerdschool that focused on science and wanted to became a real scientist. I somehow managed to get bachelors in environmental science, even though I was seriously depressed while in college. I believe I deserved a medal for it. College is so much harder when you are depressed. So, I am successfull. I went thru shit and still graduated. It is not your destination that counts but how you got there.
What I meant to say is not to waste your time on "is it really for me" nor "do I really want it" nonsence, because nothing is really for you and you have no idea what do you want. I got off track. Just go on and watch how not to get miserable or depressed. If you find something that you want, go for it. If not, focus on other things in your life. :)
she doesn't look like 16
You’d think a performing arts student would enunciate better.
art students ≠ hipsters
hahah BURNED
i thought the onion was supposed to be satire?????
For purely educational purposes you might like to check out UA-cam vids "Atheists - Jesus and the Dinosaurs" and "Gay Scientists Isolate Christian Gene" Knowledge is power. Humor is having power over Knowledge. ;)
wtf onion
what happened to narrator man!
i came in expecting hitler jokes
i love this if you get it its fucking hilarious
Yes, you may be right. SInce lions sleep about 16 hours a day that would be in keeping with why Jesus has been sleeping for the last 2000 years. The lion idea brings to mind that other Biblical problem from the Noah's Ark story. When the water "rettreated" and two of each animal were free to roam, each time a lion ate an animal it would be eating half the existing species. I wish the lion had eaten a mosquito.
I don't know who she's taaalkiiing abbouuuut
I don't fucking care eeiitherrr
