Do americans really do this?

>>80359773
Why do you think the rest of the world calls them "americlaps"?

>>80359822
i dont call them that

>grown ass men behaving like babies..
Dont you have an active military and a capitalist doogy eat dogg society?
Why are so many of you so infentile?

>>80359773

Yes. Not every movie. But yes. Most recently I saw it when I went to see Arrival. It was a matinee at a sort of artsy independent theater and the audience was mostly older people. A good number of them applauded at the end.

>>80361569
KEK that's just sad as fuck.

All it takes is one lone clapper to start

>>80359839
you arent part of the world, you silly neet.

>>80359773
I'm Malaysian, and for the first time in my life, I witnessed a bunch of people clapping at the end of a movie. It was the first screening of Logan at my local theater

>>80359773
Sadly yes. I noticed it start happening around the 2000s.

It's probably from the South like most shitty parts of American culture.
When I was a kid in California no one clapped at the screen because, why would you?

>>80359773
lol yes we do.
When i voted for trump at the local highschool, they even clapped for me because it was my first time voting.

>>80362379
literally the same thing happened to me last election. this election i just went to the booth, found a card that said which options were part of the Trump ticket, checked those and left. didn't even stay for the voting BBQ.

yeah, people clap all over the world. its a social thing, not that a raging autista like you would understand anyways.

>getting triggered by applause

>>80359773
yes anon, 4chan memes are real. things people tell you on an anonymous anime website are never false.

>>80362429
The people who made the movie aren't hearing your applause. It's pointless.

>>80362511
Except Americans actually do that.
Again its a pretty recent thing though, at least on the coasts. And only with some movies.

>>80362467
lmfaoooooooooo

whats that? jazz hands? what the fuck is this faggotry?

these people are insufferable.

>>80362585
>my date can open the door for herself, it's pointless

>>80362598
What a shit analogy.

>>80362585
but they want to communicate the rest that they enjoyed the movie. this is not for autistas, as stated.

>>80359773
i only see ppl clap when its a matinee and only the first 2-3 weeks , but ya its fucking weird


my mom claps

>>80362632
great argument, friend.

So I like the whole Americlap meme but if you actually want real talk about it, yes, more crowded theaters will often clap at funny or exciting moments or at the end of a decent blockbuster.

If someone genuinely thinks there's something wrong with clapping at a movie they're probably on the spectrum.

>mfw im the clapstarter when the plane lands

if you dont do this, you all live an existence of misery.

>>80362276
>All it takes is one lone clapper to start

A lone clapper who doesn't get any back up is always kinda fun though

>>80362773

wait what? everyone always claps at the end of a plane ride. that isn't a common practice outside america?

people didnt know if clap or not at the end of Elle in my cinema. it was just too tonally weird.

>>80362593
I took "intro to philosophy" to cover a GE a couple years ago. Students would snap their fingers in agreement when our professor of a student said something agreeable. One of these chimps even asked the class to substitute their clapping for snapping because "clapping is loud and it triggers people."

>>80362813
but do they do it ironically?

my plane is always super ironic, bordering post ironic.

I start the clap at every movie I see. Especially when there's less than 10 people in the theater

>>80362702
You're equating courtesy given to an individual to giving it to someone who isn't there.

Reminder

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XSq0PvVxMs

>>80362845
holy shit. i would gladly snap their fingers so they cant perform that faggotry ever again.

>>80362680
Who gives a shit if some stranger liked a movie I just saw?

>>80362873
the authors of the film have nothing to do with the clapping.

>>80362884
>europeans have to file a form in triplicate and wait six (6) months for tentative approval pending review from the municipal government before they can host a pig noise contest
>get fined 500 euros for noise complaints from the local refugee shelter because it's prayer time

>>80362942
Then the analogy is shit because it has nothing to do with manners.

>>80362979
it's manners to the theater staff that played the film for you, you dense autist

>>80359773
They're actually watching me bang OPs wife right now, not a movie.

>>80362884

i don't see what footage from a local city council meeting has to do with watching a movie

>>80362813
>wait what? everyone always claps at the end of a plane ride. that isn't a common practice outside america?

Good grief. Why in the fuck would you clap? You were more likely to die in the taxi on the way to the airport.

>>80362929
they arent strangers anymore. you spent 2 hours with them enjoying a movie, synchronizing your brain waves with theirs. if the movie was good enough, youll be left with lots of questions and feelings and musings about what you just experienced, the rest too. but, as already stated, people on the spectrum cant do this, among many other things.

>>80363007
Americlaps clap for anything

>>80363022

it's awkward to clap for the taxi driver cuz he can hear you

>>80362884
Americans are so fucking weird

>>80362996
>>80363033
No, that can't be. That's simply retarded. I'm sorry, I'd rather be an autist.

>>80363033
Yeah, except most people from most nations don't do this. It's clearly just an odd burgerland ritual.

>>80363077
lots of cultures could be described as weird too. but americans are above all else, super gaudy. they are a whole, collective act of bad taste.

>>80363136
most nations can't afford theaters

>>80363165
>american education system

>>80362416
>voting BBQ.
silly amercans

>>80359773
No they dont. It's a meme. I've been to the theaters almost a hundred times in my life yet I have not once seen people clap at any point, not even at the end.

The worst that they do is laugh at stupid shit.

>>80363205
you've probably been wearing the complimentary earplugs the whole time you retard. you know you're only supposed to put them in when you get tired and want to nap right?

>>80363136
Like tipping in general, but especially the food delivery guy. Fuck off, you just did your job, there was nothing personal about it, unlike a waiter. You don't tip the UPS guy.

>>80363205
maybe you live in a boring ass state?

>>80363077

As a culture, Americans are basically like a poor person who wins the lottery

I saw it happen one time but I was like 8 and it was a special screening of some religious movie so everyone there was super amped for god to be affirmed on screen.

>>80363165
>MUH DICC
>MUH MONEY
literally niggers.

>>80363291
i bet you love rick & morty.

Yes they do this and it sucks

>>80363331
Because I saw a religious movie once and it's the only time I've ever been around people clapping in a theatre?

>>80362767
I've seen clapping at theatres twice, once for a sold out showing of Shin Godzilla in an upscale, modern theatre, and the other at a small town renovated 1920s cinema screening Devergent or some shit. The first had enthusiastic fans, 2nd was A lot of older people.

>>80362361
>happening around the 2000s.
When LOTR came out. Everyone is chilling and having fun with their friends at the theatre bro.

>>80362845
>not saying there snapping triggers you and asking everyone to say K'Chow

I live in Europe and people clap all the time after movies.

>>80363476
wrong

Depends on the movie, the crowd, and the time. I've seen the entire theatre clap -- but that's a rare event -- usually everyone just shuffles out like usual.

This meme has a kernel of truth.

>>80359773
Im from saudi arabia we clapped during "9/11 The Two Towers" when it was broadcasted live in our theatres.

>>80368100
ayo famo where u get that rhodie bag?

Do Americans wear their shoes indoor? I'm asking for a friend

>>80368100
>our theatres.
There is one theatre in saudi arabia that only plays science documentaries

>>80368147
There isn't an "American" policy regarding shoes indoor. It kind of differs from household to household.

>>80359773
Clapping in a movie is retarded.
But so is clapping after a plane landing.

It's the pilots fucking job to fly. I'll clap if he does something out of the ordinary, like makes a safe landing after a fault in the plane.

Fucking burgers man. Do you clap when a ship captain brings you to port? A bus driver gets you to your stop? But then again, you fuckers even tip your pizza guys.

>>80368147
I think it's somewhere in the constitution, between the part about clapping and the one about retarded, unnecessary small talk.

>>80359773
Yeah, theyre stupid
They yell "Woooooh!!" and "Yeeeeah!!!" alot.
