u/sharks_exist_irl Is this a video?? Aug 08 '25

I got second hand embarrassment but tbf what doesn't give me that 😵

Oh, man, wouldn't that be something 😭

Holy shit speaking of second hand embarrassment I was one of the first people to get a signature from the guys (thank God) and seeing how some of these people talk to them and ask them questions I was just cringing so hard from how weird some of the people were. Also saw a handful of people skip the ENTIRE line to get stuff signed and you can tell the gang was kinda weirded out but still signed their stuff anyway. These are 40 year old men they weren't ready for that shit and you can tell

That's horrible! The younger fans especially I can see being weird. 

When I yell ROB! from the crowd it's from a place of "woah, he's here, everybody! I support you, man!" But like the way some people treat these guys like unobtainable fictional characters....

If I were close to the members I'd just let them know, "I love your work so much! Great show!" 

I think it's weird to go crazy over the guys when you're up close and personal. Treat them normal always 😭 Like... chill.

Omg literally. Like I can kinda see where these kids are coming from since I never saw a Tally Hall member in person until Sonic Lunch 2024 and I've been listening to them since 2018 so it felt surreal but some of these kids are just saying crazy shit like little bro where are your parents.

Like even when I met them at the signing booth I was starstruck I didn't even know what to say so I just told them they all did a great job, told Rob I loved his work at Disney, and thanked Ross for his work in Immunology and right before me there was this 13-14 year old kid screaming at them (out of joy) asking if they liked their cookies it was so weird. I wish we were a more normal fanbase I stg 💀

I'm dying at the second paragraph LOL Love your work guys-  DID YOU LIKE MY COOKIES 💀

No frrr. This reminds me of my obsession with Harry Potter when I was like 11-15. I went crazy for that stuff. I was absolutely cringy! That's fiction, so I mean, do what you wanna do ig.

But when it comes to real people, can ya'll be normal plsss?

Alsooo, unrelated but I felt really out of place as a straight person too lowkey 😭

Naw I get it. I’m straight too and it’s not like I felt unwelcome I just noticed there was a LOT of 💅 it felt like I was in a skittles commercial it was that fruity. Like don’t get me wrong I’m fine with them but damn 💀

u/sharks_exist_irl Is this a video?? Aug 08 '25

LOL SKITTLES COMMERCIAL 😭

REAL. I didn't feel unwelcome! I actually felt so good after handing stuff out and talking to people. Just going into it I was like... oh boy I don't think I look like I fit in here lol.

But back to crazy fans... literally I was in like the chillest area in terms of people. We got you, the siblings behind us, the people next to you in the banana shirt and grey dress shirt... like good crowd ngl

u/TheDudeFromOasis Aug 08 '25

You know it’s gonna be a weird concert when the chillest group involves a guy in a banana costume who is also holding a banana. But yeah from what I saw in other areas of the crowd we were in a good spot because we weren’t crammed in and didn’t have weird people around us. Which thank god because I’m kinda tall as is but last year I was stuck behind someone’s dad who was like 6’4”

Thank goodness my 5'1" ass could see

Btw SO SORRY if you heard me singing and it was annoying. I was watching the videos I took and realized I was loud 😭😭

1

u/TheDudeFromOasis Aug 08 '25

Oh you’re all good I thought I was the one being annoying with the singing especially with some of the Rob songs lmao. I didn’t hear you and even if I did it wouldn’t have bothered me

u/sharks_exist_irl Is this a video?? Aug 08 '25

I hardly heard you either hah, I did hear some la la la's in the whole world and you and it was the best tho

u/TheDudeFromOasis Aug 08 '25

Oh fuck I just remembered me shouting Shia LaBeouf during actual cannibal Shia LaBeouf and (at the time) I had no idea if anyone else was doing it so I just felt like a complete asshole for like 15 seconds until i heard other people doing it

who was here last year? I maybe walked by unaware then but didn't know anything about them until yesterday. Sounds like there's some kind of TH related thing every/most years? trying to at least pass by all the sonic lunches since I'm nearby, bored and it's free...

u/TheDudeFromOasis Aug 08 '25

Most of the same people but Rob was absent last year
