Her dream of making a splashy entrance was flushed down the drain — and that stinks.
No one stopped and no one stared as Sarah, a creative coed, stepped out of a plastic porta potty, dressed to the nines in floor-length formal wear, hoping to impress her classmates with an outré display on prom night.
But rather than amused, the Gen Zers were totally unenthused about the blonde’s bold bathroom moves, per trending footage of the unsuccessful stunt.
“And the crowd went mild,” teased a commenter beneath the clip, with over 3.6 million TikTok views, noting the sea of underwhelmed youngsters watching Sarah descend from her traveling throne — a toilet hut towed on the flatbed by her father, Nick.
“The whole school has a sense of humor failure,” barked another.
“Do kids these days ever have a sense of humor?” questioned an equally stunned spectator, shaming Zoomers for lacking funny bones.
It’s yet another black eye sustained by adolescents and 20-somethings of the day, who’ve already been labeled as “easily offended” and “lazy, entitled” losers.
But, thankfully, a few members of the new school haven’t completely lost their luster for laughter and lightheartedness.
Much like Sarah, some crafty, clever kids prefer thinking outside of the box when it comes to making a grand debut at prom.
Rather than a limousine or luxury car, Lucas, a UK teen, pulled up to his senior year party in a body bag, while Abi Ricketts, a separate Brit, was carried into her school’s big dance in a coffin.
Not to be outdone by Gen Zs overseas, Sherman Bynum, now a graduate of Camas High School in Washington State, rented a World War II army vehicle, the M3A1 Stuart tank, to serve as his royal chariot during prom season 2023.
“Live your life to the fullest,” said Bynum. “Do whatever you want. That’s what it’s all about.”
Sarah seems to live by a similar motto. And virtual fans of her commode-to-go spectacle agree.
“This is iconic,” raved a cyber supporter.
“She has top-tier humour! This is too good!” another applauded, emphasizing their approval with a series of cheerful emojis.
“I love her confidence to do this when all her school looks like the most boring people! It’s always better to be the one that stands out rather than the ones that frown on the ones that stand out,” added an admirer.
“Sarah is going to have a brilliant life,” echoed another. “She’s got a sense of humour, and understands all the prom, flashy car stuff is utter nonsense.”
