High School Graduations in the South

We filmed this on Monday. Red Lobster shut down Wednesday. Video debuted Friday. Life comes at you fast, but Chapter 11 bankruptcy comes faster.

"Hold your applause until the end" Meanwhile, the Johnson clan, which has 11 cousins graduating this year, 40 of 'em in the stands, with custom t-shirts, they brought an air-horn, and they'll be damned what that announcer says.

“nobody’s gonna tell me I can’t cheer for my baby” is the realest statement made here 😂

"This would be a perfect time to go to Walmart" SO TRUE

If they'd open the concession stand, they'd make a killin' 🤣😂

Absolutely no one holds their applause until after all names are called. Asking for that is issuing a challenge for people to get louder and louder every time a name is called.😂

You can tell which girls played softball. 😂

Pro tip for the grads deciding which party to attend afterward. The country kid party is way better than the cool kid party. The cool kids just smoke weed and listen to Pink Floyd, but the country kids have a whole pig barbecue, kegs on the front porch, and they take all the furniture out of the living room to make a dance floor.

Cicadas have entered the mix for the Southern Outdoor events. We dont need music now!

The clapping part hits home. My dad decided the moment of silence was the best time to cheer my name. It had a chain reaction and they had to interrupt the moment of silence to ask the crowd to quiet down lol.

During daylight, there will be fewer mosquitoes. It might be warmer, but at least you won't need a transfusion after the ceremony.

🤣👏🏼 "The As will have already graduated college when we're done." 😆

Graduated way back in 1977 BC (Before Computers). In a way, it's comforting to see that there are some things in this world that never change.

I graduated in Texas in the 80's, our class was 434 kids. The football field ( very large ) was packed, and so was the bleachers. Every one of these was spot on. Our high school had a thing were everyone was invited to spend the night at the school to keep kids from getting drunk and getting killed driving. All but 2 or 3 stayed overnight. We had to stay till 8 am. All of the stuff was opened and free. Swimming pools, basket ball court, all you can eat pizza. ( I might have eaten 2 pizzas myself ) The snack machines were set to free and so were the arcade games. I did everything and ended up crashing in the hallway around 6 am. I hated living in TX ( we moved there my senior year from a tiny school in Alabama ) but the beech and surfing kept me sane. No way my little HS back home could have done what the TX school did. As much as I hated TX, that graduating night will never be forgotten. ( mainly because I didn't get wasted and do dumb shit )

Our local high school had the same guy who announced at the football games to read the names. At least a solid 45 minutes to an hour of reading name after name without a break. Gotta love 6A.

"I told you we should have home schooled." LOL!!

This 100% described my cousin's graduation down south of Houston 16 years ago. As somebody that was not used to the heat and humidity I downed about a gallon of water in like 10 minutes and still felt dehydrated.

It would be a good time to go to Wal-Mart considering they only have 2 out of 12 registers open, counting the self-serv.

That thank you card line has me feeling personally attacked

"I thought this school was classified as 2-A." What a great line! 🤣
