home alone is one of those classic Christmas movies that you watch over and over again every year. Released in 1990, the film stars Macaulay Culkin as Kevin, a young boy who is in a hurry to go on vacation with his extended family and is accidentally left at home alone. With two unfortunate thieves in the area, Kevin is forced to protect his house from raids and comes up with some pretty creative ways to do it.
Considered by many to be one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time, the film has inspired quotes like “Dirty Animals…” and the iconic masked scream . It’s the kind of movie the whole family can sit down and watch together as they laugh at the humor and disbelief of it all.
To get you ready to see what could be the 20th, here are some hilarious memes.
What? Do you like Creed?
Like Nickelback and Coldplaycreed was one of those post-90s grunge bands that people somehow didn’t want to admit that they liked. There’s no real rhyme or reason, but Creed is just a band that’s supposed to be loved only by certain types of people.
So this meme shows the cultural bias against Creed, showing what someone will look like when they find out that a potential new partner actually thinks Creed is a great band and is fans of their powerful ballads. Sorry, we may have to cut ties right now.
the house is too big
when you recall the premise home alone, which does not seem absurd. The family is exhausted from packing for the big holiday trip. Kevin is in trouble and is sent to spend the night in a loft with a bedroom setting that rivals any normal bedroom let alone a loft. When people accidentally fall asleep, they frantically get dressed, run to their cars, and head to the airport. A curious neighborhood kid was mistaken for Kevin so they assumed he was there while he was still fast asleep in bed.
While there are a lot of fan theories about how the family was able to afford such a big house, that’s another topic entirely. However, the reality is that the house is so big that parents somehow forget about their children.
Knock
The series’ two unfortunate criminals are brilliantly played by Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci. Pesci’s character, Harry, patrols the place in police uniform. Then he and Malfoy (Stern) plot to target the giant house and see all the expensive stuff inside. They were overjoyed to believe they had found a boy there alone.
They come knocking on the front door, as this meme suggests, using a hilarious script from the song “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”, replacing the word “Heaven” with “Kevin”.
loser
In one memorable scene, when Kevin tells his sister Lynne he doesn’t know what to pack in his suitcase, she tells him he’s what the French call “incompetent” for their upcoming trip. to relive the romantic language of Paris.
In the movie, Kevin is confused because he doesn’t know what that means. This meme shows what would happen if this movie took place in modern times. Kevin, then 8 years old, will probably use a device like a tablet or the family will probably have a smart speaker. So he just asks Siri, Alexa or Google to translate for him, then walks away in rage or revenge.
lost luggage
Interestingly, this line is actually conveyed in the second film, home alone 2When the parents met with the local police, they lost their son a second time, this time at the airport.
The thought of parents joking about losing their son is terrifying. However, you might consider that in this situation, the parents might be too hysterical to make such inappropriate jokes. I know it’s just a movie, but I think it’s funny to think that this family has never lost their luggage but lost their son twice.
pause movie
if you have seen home alone For kids, regardless of age or generation, you know they’re often glued to the TV to see what Kevin will do next – even if they’ve seen this movie 20 times.
This meme represents that perfectly. dinner? no thanks. I wanted to watch Kevin gobble up cupcakes, pizza, and dinner on TV and think about what I would do under similar circumstances if I was run away from home.
what are they doing?
Culkin shows a lot of things with his facial expressions in the movie and it’s amazing. A sly smile or a raised eyebrow and you know an idea is brewing. So when any kid looks at you like that, you know they’re up to something and it’s probably not good.
That can be some heck of a game, though not as complicated as Kevin’s setup and scheme in the movie. However, the combination of a super cute face and inappropriate behavior is something any parent can understand.
old
This meme hits your neck, it’s really been many years since today, it should really read that Macaulay Culkin is brotherhoods Better than Malfoy. Yes, Daniel Stern was 33 years old when the movie came out in 1990. Culkin is 39 years old today.
While it’s no secret that the movie came out almost 30 years ago (!), seeing the face of an adult thief next to Culkin, makes reality sink in on the fact that the boy Kevin was, at the time. six years older than Malfoy, ridiculously erotic. .
indefensible
This meme embodies the whole concept home alone Untenable in today’s world. In the movie, Kevin accidentally leaves the house and doesn’t realize it until the whole family has boarded a plane to Paris, and his parents try to make a call but can’t because the phone line in the area is down and doesn’t work. somebody. on the phone. Work or stay home because it’s Christmas.
Back in 1990, no one really owned a cell phone, and on-board WiFi wasn’t an issue. Today, however, if a similar situation occurs, parents can easily contact Kevin or someone can come and check on him using a multitude of technology options.
shovel
This is a fun rendition of the Rick Ross song “Hustlin” with the lyrics “Everyday I’m hustlin”, or it could be a rendition of the LMFAO song “Everyday I’m Shufflin”“ Either way, the verb is replaced with “shovelin,” referring to Marley, Kevin’s old neighbor, with whom the kids all tell strange stories.
Older children are often seen shoveling dirt outside to scare Kevin, telling him that Marley killed his family and that he buried the body while outside. Of course, that wasn’t the case, and Marley was a lovely guy who eventually found and saved Kevin.
