- Billy going back to high school in his '79 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Billy Squier - The Stroke blasting. "Alternative" was at it's peak, people like Kurt Cobain were immortalized. Mainstream or anything from the 80's wasn't cool and Billy finds things are different.
BACKGROUND SONG: Billy Squier - The Stroke

Time is strange. Back then in the 90's you would have been laughed at pulling up to school in a 79 firebird listening to billy squire. Now days you'd be the coolest kid in school.
I'd do it lol
If the trans am was camed it might of been cooler
What no it doesn't work that way
@@midwestnet2704 still rock it man 😂😂🤘🤘
Nope tryed it didn't work
im 33, and just went back to college full time. this is exactly how i felt on my 1st day of school hahaha
Haha
+Paulo Mac Hang in there man!
+Paulo Mac don't get outnumbered by that. When I went to the university 5 years ago I had a girl classmate who was also about 33 years old, had children and was married to a British dude but we all accepted her as part of the class. Even my friend's mom attended college when she was about the same age. Honestly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, it's normal.
+nvm0 Thank you! I appreciate that!
Well he is like 30 or something in this movie and going to high school, so you shouldn't feel bad. :)
do that now days and you'd be the coolest kid on school
What if Kurt Cobain drove a Trans Am wearing a denim jacket at that time? New definition of cool? lol
planning on doing it when i get my license.
MaxMan19 Please go get one!!
get what
My dad has a 78 it is the one in my the profile picture.
Pontiac Firebird: check.
Denim jacket with REO Speedwagon shirt: check.
Billy Squier tape blaring from said Firebird: check
He's officially the coolest guy at that school, they're all just jealous.
he's Miles Davis.
Perfect comment: check....A!
@@ethanschwartz He should have pissed himself then...Let's Go!
You don’t even know who Billy S is kid
@@crypastesomemore8348 bold statement boomer boy. I forgot unless you’re 55 years old you can’t enjoy shit that’s older than you. Grow up dork
Drive that car nowadays, and you'd be king.
Yep. I was trying to find a firebird but I settled with a Chevy. Close enough. Just doesn’t have the hawk design and different lights.
Not at college though. All the little blue-haired people would hiss at you.
@@Snarkythecat don’t they realize though that making the batteries for their hybrids emits more emissions than our petrol engines?
It would not be a very fast car to today’s standards but it’s style is very nice.
That car was Tits back then... those kids are just idiots...
Bullshit! This man is in an Reo Speedwagon shirt, driving a slick beautiful car, blasting Billy Squier and they laugh at him? Those bastards!
I completely agree, but bear in mind that in the 90s, 80s culture was considered "uncool". Probably due to the influence of grunge.
Marqus Nuffsaid Laughing at the Trans Am is blasphemy. It says so in the Bible.
Kids are jealous
Yeah man everything about that is Awesome so fuck those assholes! But yeah this was in the 90s so the 70s car and 80s music would've been considered old and not cool anymore.
mrExcellent101 It's funny the 80s was indeed embarrassing back in the 90s while no one talks shit about the 90s and the 00s now. Maybe the 80s was too tacky.
Obviously those kids are just jealous that they ain't got the gear to make such an entrance.
And they listen to shit music.
What I deal with 24/7 myself especially driving around in a luxury sports car convertible at 27 years old, dont relate to anyone in this generation because im not simple minded
@Van Damage ouch! Lol
Right
@@zigzagbigbag 80s rock is definitely better than 90s rock
there was never a time when doing this wouldn't have been cool
Agreed!
always is
BlackJacketJones The truth.
This design never loses style because it IS STYLE
No no no....there was though. In that 1993-1996 era, people were trying to forget about that shit. You listened to it, you were still "stuck in the 80's" and not moving forward into the progressive 90's. Sure, NOW it's fine, and I love me some Billy Squire too....but back in '94? Yyyeah not so much.
I literally went to high school with a kid 7 years ago who had a 79 trans am, identical to this one, coolest car in the lot, I don’t care what anyone says.
The 90's were good, but the 80's were fucking amazing.
Two of the best decades for me right there.
1982
Me and the boys are drinking beer in the parking lot of a church at night.
Cop: "alright let's see all of your IDs. None of you have ID'S alright where's the rest of the beer? Ok give me the beer and you get out of here and don't come back".
End of story.

Agree, the 80's were the best. The clothing, music, attitude. I miss it. My life spans several decades and I had the most fun in the 80's.
@Snarick Klash Same with the 90’s.
I never understood why everyone was laughing at him. He straight up genuinely flexed on them and they laughed.
They laughed because he was a 28 year old in high school.
You are old.
@@needles1987 No.. thats not the point of the scene.. its because he has 80s swag and thinks hes hot shit in the 90s
He was trying too hard and it was cringe. It wasn’t the car, it was the music, the T-shirt, the leaning on the car trying to get attention. It was all too much, that and his age makes it creepy.
@@LevelUP84 yeah good point, not like Zac Efron entrance in that Audi R8 when he pulled up at his old high school! Now that was boss!
Jokes on them, hes got the nicest car in that parking lot.
V8 too. non of that Economy bore snore boxes grandma drives
Senior year of High School I had an 82 Corvette and you can bet your sweet ass I did this. Same outcome, but totally worth it
I'm class of 98 and I worked various summer and part time jobs and saved my money from the 8th grade until the summer after my junior year when I bought a black 72 chevelle SS clone with white stripes that I drove to school my senior year...i paid 6500 for it...now days the same car would cost 25k-30k....it had a hot for the time 406 with iron angle plug heads and a crane fireball 302 cam...m21 4sp and 3.73 gears....it was the fastest car in my high school parking lot...and the coolest....prior to that I drove a red 79 camaro (berlinetta) with a primer grey door on one side that was powered by a tired old 305/th350 that smoked a little out of its factory y-pipe that was chopped off with a cherry bomb welded to it....i liked it but nobody else did ....somehow it acquired the nickname "shitty shitty dang dang" and everyone used to joke on it...once I even heard someone yell "get a horse! It's faster and smells better".....but nobody was laughing when I showed up in my chevelle during my senior year and would have two or three varsity or junior varsity cheer leaders who would want a ride home in my car everyday....or picked up in the morning .....before that tho not even a school lunch lady would have asked for a ride home in my ragity ass Camaro. Lol.....i no longer have that chevelle but I currently own a solid black 70 SS clone...no stripes but it has all the other SS equipment....ive owned it since 2006. My first 72 got rear ended at a stop light in 2002 by an old man in a Lincoln town car. Insurance paid me 12700 for the car and I bought a built 86 Buick t-type that would break transmissions and rearends like it was going out of style....eventually sold it to by my 70 ...
Even without the power, I think the C3 was the coolest Corvette bodystyle, esp the late 70s/early 80s with the rear hatch glass.
The tang, Tell us about how much tang you got because of that car?!
@@davy1458 Wow, thanks for sharing this story. When I was in high school (mid 1970's,) my first car was a Pinto wagon. It was a nice, clean car that I enjoyed cruising around in, but man, did I get clowned on for it. My next car was a Datsun 260Z with pin stripes and the ridiculing turned to "oohs and nice car." Same goes for the red Porsche Carrera I drive now. In L.A. there is an unwritten rule, "you are what you drive."
@@davy1458 decent story. Drivin cheerleader grade beav is worth every penny saved
Billy passed the third grade...
Oh what a glorious day
Rock on!....u know, everyone is having a good time except you
Billy passed the third grade,
In the Billy Madison way!
The Billy Madison waaayyy!
Billy likes to drink soda. Miss Lippy’s car - is green
@@mattkeller5388 I'd rather have a beer
It’s amazing how Billy went to high school just 10 years before these kids and there’s already vast differences in clothes, music, and cars. I can’t imagine how someone who went to high school in 2012 would look that different from high school students today
Bro I graduated in 2011, I'm a teachers aid and it's COMPLETELY different lol I work at my old school. Whole different culture
How so?
@@JohnnyNada I meant in terms of fashion, music, and cars
@@joedale1696 how so what?
@@joedale1696 girls we grew up with didn’t dress like complete slu*s or felt the need too. These girls today don’t want to do anything but copy famous celebrities
Boys were actually cool, they had a thought process, now these boys growing up are completely lost and it’s thanks to social media
That's my dream car right there
+louidog56 Go Raiders!
Same that or a 1979 z28 camaro.
‘81 Z28!
Ugly ugly ugly car
i also have a 79 firebird and blast "The Stroke" like every morning to school
He’d be the coolest kid if this was real
"NO I WILL NOT MAKE OUT WITH YOU!!!"
I came here to learn everybody, not to make out with you, go on with the chlorophyll!
lol!
I remember thinking that everyone in my high school would have instantly wanted to be friends with Billy, when I first saw this movie. He could buy alcohol, he was rich, and he would not have tried to compete with you for high school girls. While we needed a fake ID or some other older friend to buy booze, no one had any money, and party hosts would always try to hit on the girl you were going after when you'd go to their parties.
Billy Madison would have been everyone's best friend in any high school, in damn near any era.
Just goes to show you how cars like that back in the 90s went for nothing, just old gas guzzling beaters.... and now in 2021 the exact car just sold for $50,000.
the whole 'joke' of this scene is that he is woefully outdated and driving a car that would've impressed girls at his school 10+ years ago.
@Onemanarmylol Lol The person who posted the video has since changed the caption, but my comment was in response to that! At the time he clearly did not know.
But these teens were born in like 1979 or 1980 and grew up in the 80s too. Wouldn't they have childhood nostalgia for it?
K thnx
@@JPMcFly1985 I was born in '79, and if he pulled up in the late 90s like this, but with a flannel and long hair blastin' Nirvana, the chicks woulda been all over him.
Guys shouldn't need to have nice cars to be good enough to women. Guys should be good enough to women whether they drive a Ferrari, or an old Ford pickup truck, or any other random vehicle. The kind of vehicle he drives shouldn't be relevant.
shit im 20 years old and i listen to classic rock.....and idgaf
13, get on my level bro
13 bro
14 since sunday.
Hell yea 🤘
awesome
We've come full circle, now this is totally cool again.
Funny how time works
Maybe with the dads. The kids wouldn't even know what that is.
80’s - rock on dude!
90’s - everything and everybody sucks
00’s - everybody wanna be a gangsta
10’s - hipster skinny jeans
20’s - covid & lgbtq, cancel culture
You really outed yourself as an oldhead without even being asked to
Facts 😂😂😂
yeah i fucking hate living in this shit
Thanks my men you have perfectly described and destroyed the world
The 2000s are the last good decade.
I drove that exact car to the theater to watch that movie…. wearing a jean jacket.
The fact that he's showing up in a Firebird Trans Am is impressive, and I'm younger than 30.
Car's fine yeah. It was the obvious way too hard attempt of trying to look cool that made him just look like a dork instead. xD If he had just showed up and acted casually it probably would have turned out better.
@@jamessackett9239 Yeah the REO Speedwagon may have been a tad bit much too.
@@mikepetri3536 But Billy Squire on the radio puts him back on top.
"want to touch the hiney?"
That's assault brotha!!!
the audio makes it sound like he shuts off the engine, but the shaker hood-scoop says otherwise.
I noticed that as well. I was wondering if the bass of the audio was making the engine shake, but this can't be.
@@LouisEmery good observation
@@LouisEmery It is the bass that makes it shake
this is the best scene in a movie ever. I think anyways. if he did this at my highschool I wouldn't have laughed at him I would've been his friend.
Got to love how he leaves the music going while he exits the car
engine still running too, check the Shaker
Yeah...we DID that 😎
The kids sitting on the grass are probably driving 4 door sedans. This guy is king!
That Trans Am is awesome regardless of the year.
not 1980 or 81. Those were the years of the awful 4.9L turbo
79
@@gaguy1967 he meant that the 79 trans am is timeless, not the specific model year
So why do they think he's a loser again? He's got a cool car, he's playing some awesome music, and he's wearing some cool clothes; I don't get what their problem is.
They are from the losers generation when "everything sucked" (not really).
Because it was in the 90s when grunge music was popular and kids dressed like Kurt Cobain. Billy is playing big haired 80s rock and wearing a jean jacket
I just
Thank you Michael Jackson!
To be honest I like nirvana, but Alice in chains is so much better. Grunge music isn’t shit, it was just shit how all the sheep followed it at the time, now only the individuals who actually like that music listen to it, as you do with your classic rock.
This speaks more about the kids than it does about him.
Now if he ignored everyone and walked in the school he wouldve been a Legend at the end of the day
Dude pulls up in a badass Pontiac firebird and everyone calls his a loser lol. What a crappy school that must be.
The only thing cooler than pulling up to your high school in a sweet ride blasting good music. Is pulling up in a sweet ride blasting music and getting a 'handwritten note' from a cute chick with her phone number in it.
My dad drop me off to school with that Billy Squier jam thank you Mr. Madison
i like how he mean mugs that guy when gets out of the car
LMAO i lost my shit when i saw that!!!!
Anyone that pulls up in a Pontiac firebird is cool as hell
This is a scene that I can see Johnny Lawrence doing in a Cobra Kai episode 👍🏽
In every episode. We were so wrong about Johnny lol
Johnny rocks
"How to tell my student I'm banging his mom"
I love how this is now cool as fuck again and the rest look like vintage health class textbook teens
Just listen to the whine of that Pete Jackson gear drive. I'm 32 now, and still have plans on doing this at my old high school at some point
Holy shit I never noticed the gear drive whine
Hope you were able to do this; wow, just realized you're probably 40 now!
@@Cerstani true
I can't believe this movie is almost 30-years-old.
I'm not kidding that in high school my fave car was the trans-am and one of my fave songs was the stroke. I'm class of 2004 and I always loved this scene. Some people wouldn't get it.
You know what’s amazing about 80s cars, they all had these same square head lights, and yet look at these different front ends they made around it…
This would 've been the equivalent of a kid in MY HS days pulling up in a '69 Firebird wearing a Doors T shirt & blasting AC/DC... they were always the coolest kids
I remember seeing this as a kid and didn't get why wasn't cool. I'm 30 now and still don't get it. Badass car, wearing some pretty basic clothes, vintage rock jersey, dope ass song playing from the radio. He was cool.
From a guy who was in high school in the 90’s- there was sort of this attitude of us having our own decade to replace the decade before us. The general feel of being a teenager then, was we were looking for authenticity. Guys like Kurt Cobain replaced guys like Billy Squire. It was a bit of putting our noses in the air to 80’s style in general.
@@JRoss80 It's crazy in retrospect how kids were less judgey than teenagers. I was hardcore into the 80s back in 1995 but I was still only 10, I guess a 16 year old of 95 would have more of a rebellion against it
@@xennial80sxberner I wouldn’t say we were that judgey. My description of being a teenager then was not the way everyone was, but I think the representation in this scene is pretty accurate. A lot of teens in the 90’s would have reacted to someone like Billy Madison stuck in the 80’s as being kind of lame. Deep down though we all would have thought Billy Madison was cool.
@@JRoss80 It truly depends on the person. I bet this was also written by adults who THOUGHT all teens in '95 felt this way. I feel like the happy/party vibe of 80s music sounded lame in the 90s but teens probably enjoyed it in secret lol
The comments below kind of summed up what I was going to say. I graduated in 95, and I remember there was kind of anti-80s attitude with the kids trying to define their own decade which wasn't all that.
I didn't really feel that way so much, as I was more in to the underground scene, so in the 90s is when I expanded my horizons a bit and started listening to industrial music and getting in to bands like Front Line Assembly and A Split Second. What the grunge was for some, and the rap scene was for others, is what industrial was for me.
Where beforehand I was in to bands like Sisters of Mercy and Joy Division. But I still listened to some of the New Wave in the 80s as well.
I do remember there was a bit of retro thing happening in the 90s also, but it was more towards the 60s. There were kids in my school that were in to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and The Doors. So there was a subset where classic rock was considered cool, but New Wave was pretty much shelved. And I was easily the only "Rivethead" on campus, as this was years before The Matrix came out and sorta popularized industrial music.
But what is funny, is how now a lot of my fellow Gen-X'ers that dissed the 80s in high school are all nostalgic for it now, and how it reminds us childhood. LOL
I know Adams trying to hold back his laugh at 00:25 lmao that REO speedwagon shirt is dope as hell though
The song playing on his car radio is The Stroke, by the legendary Rock and Roll hero, Billy Squier❣️😎
"nice shirt." greatest throwaway line in movie history.
no it wasn't. Billy telling Ms Vaughn "I'll give you a grown up" was!
@@telesniper2 I said "reading is good!" Can we start the story now?
My favorite part of the movie takes me back to the class of '84 when we were cool 😎
I love old high schools like that where they were built in the neighborhood. So much character to them visually and historically…we should go back to that
That car is so lit
"nice shirt"!
"yeah, yep".
I'll never understand how anyone would laugh at that...I loved it so much as a boy, that I swore I'd live this moment myself when I was a senior in 2003. I did it with a Mustang GT, but dammit, I had Billy Squire's Stroke blasting ..Denim jacket and all..no Speedwagon shirt though..had to use Van Halen.
They laughed because he was a 28 year old in high school.
Van Halen was a better choice anyway.
I remember watching this about 20 years ago as a kid and being completely lost at why the other kids were laughing at him. I knew this was cool. Now I'm the one with a muscle car and a denim jacket doing burnouts, pulling chicks and keeping the old ways alive. Long Live Muscle Cars and Rock'n Roll!
i was 11 going on 12 im guessing you were born in 1989 like me
@@johnnyboy-ws3we I was born in late 91, pretty sure I was around 8 or 9 when dad brought this gem home. Smokey and the Bandit was the first thing I thought of when I saw that badass T top Trans Am in this movie.

@@johnnyboy-ws3we Yes I did

That shaker engine 🔥🔥
Ah...the days when high school kids look like they're close to hitting 30.
Never ever understood why he was laughed at here it’s a nice car and good song lol
Theres 2 reasons
1. Hes probably did all that just to get attention
2. Hes a grown ass man study at high school
When I went to high school back in 2003, no one would have laughed at this car, I had a pristine low mileage 1990 Trans AM GTA in white. It was easily one of the best looking and fastest cars at school when I was there. I now drive a 1998 LS1 Trans Am I bought back in 2006 and still have it today. She has your typical bolt ons like exhaust and such.
They laughed because he was a 28 year old in high school.
Unintentionally created Billy Hargrove with this scene
Funnier thing is all the kids in that scene still look like late 80’s attire and fit that scene just perfect lol
If someone drove a 2nd gen trans am to school now a day they would be hot shit💀 that’s a 40k car
His movies always have killer soundtracks
Especially with Little Nicky.
I didn't understand this scene even at the time. I started high school the year this movie came out, and if someone had rolled up in that car with a denim jacket on, playing that song, I'd been like HELL YEAH.
stops the car and shuts it off.. but you can tell its still running but the sounds make it like its turned off! movie magic
Because in the 90s, those teens were into grunge and skateboards. Not cars, motorcycles, and 80s bands
Every decade of teenagers likes cars.
"The thing about high school girls is as I get older they stay the same age, yes they do, yes they do."
Alright alright alright...
I was born in 1991 so by the time I was in secondary school, classic rock & metal had become way more popular again haha! When I first watched this movie I had no idea why they were making fun of him
Pop that collar! BAM!
Man do this Nowdays in school....and you’ll be the most coolest kid in school!
I'm officially doing this when I get my drivers license....
well what happened?
I never understood why they laughed at him. I'm 29. And when I saw this as a kid I thought that was such a sick ride. Having a ride like that today is a guaranteed panty dropper.
They were probably laughing at the fact that he's 30 in highschool
Cuz this the Era of Backstreet/2pac/Cobain/Dance Techno (Pump up the jam). THats why they lookin at him crazy. Would be no diffrent of somebody pulled up to an 80s high-school playin 70s disco dressed wit bellbottoms
O’Doyle rules!
That's was effing sick why are they laughing at him? Lol. Sick scene
Depresso 90's kids listening to Nirvana and smoking weed and think they are so cool. Paulie Shore was the leader they all looked up to.
jakep1979 "No weezing the juice!!" 😂😂😂😂
Pauly had the 80s surfer dude style more than anything! He was in his later 20s then really (born 1968). 90s was the beginning of shitty music though, although still better and more diverse than now.
I love both 90s music and 70s cars. How would you explain this? lol
Because it's 1994.....not 1987. ;)
Hah! He’s not uncomfortably laying on the side of a grassy hill like us!
He forgot Kurt Cobain had ruined everyone's spirit already.
Ironically, if you showed up to school in 2024 like that you'd be the coolest person ever
What's so funny. Where I went to school that would've been the coolest car around.
mine was red..i was wearing a metallica shirt and was blaring welcome to the jungle...at 99 decibels ;)
My friends dad had one of these TA’s and he loved that thing. RIP Big Al. - Yoko
If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.
Lmao flexing the reo speedwagon shirt
Why are they laughing at him. He's driving a pontiac Firebird. That's cool
U know theres a thing called GETTING PEOPLES ATTENTION
Because he's a 28 year old in high school.
My first car was a gold 1979 trans am, I was 15 yrs old driving it to school on my learners permit, 1988
🫡
now if you did this to gen z you probably would be the coolest person there 💀
The funny thing is this was the mid 90s where all genres of music were AWESOME especially compared to the crap today.
I blame DEI.
The car...shirt, jacket and Squire are timeless....
I was just a couple of years out of high school when this came out, but I loved Billy's Firebird and vintage REO Speedwagon shirt. Billy Squire was definitely older brother rock, as was REO, though.
Time is fucking weird. Back THEN those 15-16 year olds born around 1979 seemed like bratty punk ass kids for snickering at Billy's early 80s stuff... but NOW at 37 nobody would bat an eye if you said they were 80s kids themselves!
that car is fucking badass, those gen x losers can go od on heroin
And now, then again the gen y kids like me find muscle cars cool again. wooyah
You mean "late period Gen X'ers". The Gen-X'ers born from 1962-1970 would be ALL OVER that car (me included [1968])
those are millinials fucktard!
I have a feeling this is what the writers ASSUMED 16 year olds in 1995 felt about the 80s. They do the same thing now, always assuming kids and teenagers are brats and hate anything before their time.
JPMcFly1985Two #FeelTheBern most kids at my school are this way. Thank god I graduated
Someone needs to put this on a 10-hour loop.
REO Speedwagon, Billy Squire, and Pontiac Firebirds all rule.
how the hell can you pull up in a 79 trans am and get laughed at it just defies logic
I will never not laugh at this scene. absolutely hilarious/brilliant
Me trying to hang out with cool kids even in the right decade
muscle cars are so cool
