Fucking brilliant. I'd do this now but then the poor stripper i hired would have to convince people that i'd had a sex change.

Then again, there are always Chippendales

You know... Huh, I dunno.

I was not one of the 'popular' people in high school by any stretch, but you know what I liked about my highschool reunion? Seeing that those who thought they were top shit, and who bullied others had turned out to be no hope losers. It wasn't a case of 'look, I've done so much more with my life' or anything like that, it was a case of finding out that, you know, us nerds and geeks and the like seem to be a whole lot happier in life than the 'popular' set. It was great to hear how well other 'unpopular' people had been doing and their great jobs and families etc. And not feeling at all like you had to one up anyone, well, because I was pretty damn happy where I was at the time. (Even more so now.)

That was really great.

That and falling into a comfortable rhythm with old friends again and just having fun.

Doing this is... um... wow, there's a lot of anger and hatred there. Perhaps one might think about letting go a bit rather than doing this which, what? Did what exactly? Cost her a lot of money in tickets and hotel room and crew and setup... for what? What real payoff? What was she really hoping to achieve?

I upvote because, well, she had this insane idea and actually went through with it, but I don't upvote with great force because I really fail to see how this is a get back at them, or a showing them up, or anything really.

My 10 year reunion is probably happening this year, but I couldn't care less... there weren't very many people I hung out with, and what they think of me isn't particularly important.

I happened to be in Hometown for my five, and that was pretty good actually. I hated highschool and wasn't popular but for the reunion I was just happy to see a lot of people I didn't think I'd be especially happy to see, and so much of the old negative attitudes had fallen away from pretty much everybody. I hosted an impromptu party that night, plenty of people attended and it was a great friendly soirée. I haven't seen most of them since but no matter. And oh yes, echoing spoco ^, most of the former underdogs seemed to have carved out nice lives for themselves and most of the shitbirds not so much.

As for the 10, I don't think there was one -- I think people didn't care or else forgot. So be it.

Some of the people at the event commented in the youtube video. I can't work out whether I think everyone else were the fools, or she was for going to such lenghts over something so meaningless as a high school reunion.

I think the woman is someone who hasn't managed to carve out a life too much better than the one she had in high school. Sad.

However, she maybe an aspiring documentary maker who simply wants to turn a novel idea into a viral video, thereby launching her career. Kind of like the "supersize me" guy.

I like how grandma is rooting us on.

I upvoted for a snippet of Weezer. Is that bad?

I had three different high schools; they were all in Zimbabwe. I don't see any chance I will be going to a reunion... but on the upside, just think of what I will save in stripper fees.

Hmmm, ya i tend to agree this only seems great to folks who just can't let go of high school. I kinda don't see how it's revenge to show your school that you're a hot mess now ? Especially when she isn't bad looking and seems pretty together ? If it was just to get a viral out to get a show, then i guess good for her. But this is the kind of crap idea that gets shoveled in and crapped out of VH1/MTV. Meh.

Probably gonna get downvoted but whatever... if you didn't like your highschool or the people that went there why not just not go? Or if you do go, why not just be happy or at least content to those that you find there are happy and hopefully just good people. If anything you've all got one thing in common; you've all went to and left that particular highschool. Have fun and hope that's what every one else there is for but please don't be rude. (and yes I know this was all in fun but a few comments made didnt need to be)

*Edit - My hs experience, I was never picked on or bullied... was just very quiet, and no I didnt really enjoy hs.

Reactions to this vid are interesting.

I can't be the only one thinking Andrea herself is way more beautiful than the stripper she hired?? *wtf?

It's a completely different situation where I come from. I might have been the most popular kid in my high-school year, something I only figured out at graduation, but I always thought and acknowledged other folks would definitely be way more successful than me. Nevertheless there never was and hasn't been any competition whatsoever for who's done better or who's turned out most successful, just as there never was any differentiation between 'nerds' and 'jocks', even though we attended the top non-private school in the whole country (so we're supposed to be the most arrogant and elitist). I've been organizing class reunions ever since the graduation. Everyone always has a blast, and they always thank me for bringing the class together afterward and most folks have actually been asking me to try and organize it twice a year. This is why I am completely bemused (≠amused) by this particular "competition" facet of US high-school culture.

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by EDD.

I don't honestly care enough to go to a high school reunion unless it's convenient. For me, there are the friends that I still keep in touch with, and the people that have faded out of my life. College reunions, on the other hand, will probably happen whenever I can make it.

why are we filming into the shorts of the man sitting on the couch?

Wow, I'm so outraged right now. This is just because she hasn't turned out to be awesome and better than everyone else like me. Oh man, when I'm this outraged I always work out and I'm working out really hard now, so I must be really outraged. Oh man, look at my awesome Guns. Aww yeah.

I had 55 people in my graduating class, so I knew just about everyone. I hated high school so I skipped my 10 year. Besides, I still know 1/2 the people and they are either stuck in dead-end marriages or strung out on some drug or are alcoholics lol.

My 20 will be coming up in 3 years. But to hell with that. Reunions are so fake ass. Everyone knows you don't drive your own car to a reunion. You rent the best car around. Fake.

I skipped my 10th because I was working Friday night and its too much hassle to get someone to cover for me. Never had any hassle in school, got along with everyone and still hated the place

I think the whole point of her doing this was to make a funny documentary and end up going to Sundance

I didn't like high school. I did like my junior high/middle school and college.

I got out of high school early by taking a High School Proficiency Exam after my Sophomore year, and started taking classes at my junior college while I waited on the results. When I finally got my results, half-way through my junior year of high school, I just stopped going to my high school classes, and that caused a rumor to circulate that a new dress code had been enacted, one that banned long hair and earrings on guys, and that I was expelled over it or something.

Ahh... good times...

this story was on my local news. way to stay current fox.

vagina.

I don't know, it would be interesting to pay a trillion dollars for a stripper.

whoa. she went to my high school! not my graduating class though...

I would LOVE to do something similar. Only a few problems for me... I went to 4 high schools in my year and a half of it, I never graduated, one school was far off in Germany, and I had so much personality that there's little chance that someone could possibly believe someone else was me. I wasn't popular, but I stood out like a sore thumb that's been hit by a hammer a good hundred times.

But if I could do it, I'd send a really ugly, scuzzy biker dude in my place. Maybe pay an emaciated meth fiend to play his(my) wife.

Really?

Really what? Don't leave us hanging.

Oh, sorry about that. I was just thinking that this video is one of the lamest videos ever to reach number one.
