These days, fads and memes and modes of entertainment emerge in our shared zeitgeist like bubbles reaching the surface in boiling soup, and they pop almost as soon as they reach air. Most will be forgotten within three months. But one fad from an entire three years ago has stuck with me for its weirdly wholesome vibes, which is how I found myself looking at the big viral chicken jockey meme out of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/review\/551004\/minecraft-movie-jack-black-jason-momoa\">A Minecraft Movie<\/a><\/em> and realizing I miss the days of GentleMinions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Chicken jockey videos are currently going viral on TikTok. There\u2019s a scene in <em>A Minecraft Movie<\/em> where Steve (Jack Black) and Garrett (Jason Momoa), a pair of doofuses from the real world, attempt to grab a quest item in <em>Minecraft<\/em>\u2019s Overworld in order to get back home. They get captured by Vindicators and tossed into a makeshift boxing ring, where Steve is tied in a corner and Garrett is ordered to fight a blocky little chicken. But then the Vindicators drop a <a href=\"https:\/\/minecraft.fandom.com\/wiki\/Zombie#Baby_zombies\">baby zombie<\/a> onto the chicken, and Steve screams \u201cCHICKEN JOCKEY!\u201d with all the manic energy Jack Black can muster. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23689495\/jack-black-peaches-super-mario-bros-movie-billboard-hot-100\">Which, as we all know, is quite a bit.<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The fad has audience members (and <a href=\"https:\/\/minecraft.fandom.com\/wiki\/Chicken_Jockey\">fans of the game<\/a>) responding wildly to the line. In some theaters, fans just scream the words along with Steve. Other videos have viewers riding each other\u2019s shoulders as if they\u2019re in a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chicken_fight\">chicken fight<\/a>, leading sustained cheers, stomping or clapping, and throwing popcorn or drinks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe title=\"INSANE THEATER REACTION TO CHICKEN JOCKEY\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Wf4gVcFmTs?rel=0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@eddie_vikings13\/video\/7489679323813776671\" data-video-id=\"7489679323813776671\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@eddie_vikings13\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@eddie_vikings13?refer=embed\">@eddie_vikings13<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a title=\"chickenjockey\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/chickenjockey?refer=embed\">#chickenjockey<\/a> <a title=\"minecraftmovie\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/minecraftmovie?refer=embed\">#minecraftmovie<\/a> <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"viral\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/viral?refer=embed\">#viral<\/a> @Brennan <\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - eddie_vikings13\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7489679322840648478?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; eddie_vikings13<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Naturally, the trend has thrown new fuel on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/entertainment\/536352\/talking-during-movie-credits\">constantly burning online conversation around theater etiquette<\/a>.

You don\u2019t make a huge mess and leave it for someone else to clean up. (Unless you\u2019re paying a premium for exactly that, which is standard for a lot of <em>Rocky Horror<\/em> and <em>The Room<\/em> screenings, where it\u2019s expected that people will throw toast or plastic forks.) Even the theaters holding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cineworld.co.uk\/static\/en\/uk\/blog\/a-minecraft-movie-dont-miss-cineworlds-special-chicken-jockey-screenings-in-4DX\">special \u201cChicken Jockey 4DX\u201d showings<\/a> \u2014\u00a0meaning \u201cwhooping, clapping and shouting \u2018Chicken Jockey!\u2019 as you see fit\u201d is permitted \u2014\u00a0still ban throwing anything. (Or recording any video of the screen, but that\u2019s a different issue.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">And \u201cspontaneous response\u201d is harder to buy when people are recording their own friends\u2019 attempts to live up to a viral trend. At that point, participation is demonstrably less about a shared experience in the theater, and more about gunning for likes after the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">All of which has me missing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23196860\/minions-rise-of-gru-gentleminions-yeat-tiktok-trend-meme\">the GentleMinions phenomenon<\/a>, a similar social media trend led by TikTok in response to the release of 2022\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/23188355\/minions-rise-of-gru-review-despicable-me\">Minions: The Rise of Gru<\/a><\/em>. That fad <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/films\/news\/a-minecraft-movie-uk-cinema-chaos-b2728588.html\">similarly got out of hand<\/a>, with participants trashing theaters and getting kicked out of shows, leading to theaters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-61988793\">banning viewers wearing suits<\/a>. But when the GentleMinions business started, it was just about people dressing up for the theater and acting fancy \u2014 about whimsy and conjuring up a comedically dapper vibe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">GentleMinions had two important things that \u201cChicken jockey!\u201d lacks. First, the social media elements were primarily about pre-show ritual. Initially, at least, the stunt was about performing suaveness outside the theater and in the theater before the movie, instead of trying to outdo each other with programmed audience response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">And second, the GentleMinions trend had a clear author and a clear face for the movement: teenage TikToker Bill Hirst, who posted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@bill.hirst\/video\/7114190265358847234?lang=en\">original viral GentleMinions video<\/a>, and went on to give interviews asking people to stop ruining other people\u2019s theater experiences. \u201cThere&#8217;s a way to have your fun and also be respectful,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/pop-culture\/pop-culture-news\/gentleminions-teen-trend-says-viral-video-was-inspired-childhood-nosta-rcna36754\">he told NBC News in 2022<\/a>. \u201cBeing polite throughout the film is probably the best way to go about it. \u2026 Obviously, turning the cinema into a mosh pit is not the right thing to do.\u201d The chicken jockey fanatics could use a little of that spirit themselves. And also maybe a nattier dress code.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-bluesky-social wp-block-embed-bluesky-social\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:vqo3mw5pirzzorbo7d2vze4s\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3lmaha5z2as2m\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreie2d2je6kj66edqioamm72wdn7ephnzemq3pgpebgajfv2gvpxtvy\">\n<p lang=\"en\">\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:vqo3mw5pirzzorbo7d2vze4s?ref_src=embed\">PocoAgitato (@pocoagitato.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:vqo3mw5pirzzorbo7d2vze4s\/post\/3lmaha5z2as2m?ref_src=embed\">2025-04-07T17:09:24.212Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/opinion\/554404\/a-minecraft-movies-chicken-jockey-meme-makes-me-miss-gentleminions\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part of the fun of cultural acceleration is that it\u2019s now possible to feel nostalgia about things that happened as little as a few months ago.
