Life doesn’t get much better than winning the Super Bowl, so why not ride the waves of joy further? That’s what Greg Jones of the New York Giants did after beating the Patriots. While everyone else was running around screaming, cheering, and celebrating their Super Bowl victory, Greg was in a quiet corner of the field proposing to his girlfriend. Of course she said yes.
Outrageously public proposal fails are always a viral video favorite. It’s just so raw and gruesome; it’s like a car accident, you can’t look away. At a recent UCLA basketball game a proposing boyfriend is shut down in front the entire stadium and on the jumbotron. The audience reacts in mixed emotions all at once, and the hostess is stuck just standing there awkwardly.
What better way to propose to your nerdy, Internet-savvy girlfriend than with a meme card presentation? The scene is right out of Love Actually! Tim was lucky enough that Audrey said, ‘yes.’ The video is shared by BlameItOnTheVoices.
It was Michael’s birthday after a long vacation down in Arkansas with his girlfriend, but he was the one who ended up giving the first present when they arrived home in Canada. Mike gave Christie a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tablet and when she turned it on, it immediately starting play this animation.
Every year before Christmas on the Ellen Degeneres show, Ellen has twelve special days where she showers her guest audience with gifts and prizes. It’s called Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways and it’s almost like an extended, yet cheaper, version of how the great Oprah used to do have special giveaways.
Ellen also loves tricks and surprises, so she doesn’t just say, ‘Ok, time to give you guys stuff,’ there’s a build up or fake out every time. On a recent episode, Ellen read a letter from a fan who wanted to propose to his girlfriend who was in the audience. But when he finally says, “I want you to marry me,” she just sobs, “I can’t, I’m sorry.”
Instantly, the familiar giveaway music starts, and the audience quickly get to their feet cheering. At the last moment, you can even see the ‘proposer’ laughing as well as Ellen. The entire scene is of course a fake out, but many Internet users who aren’t regular viewers of Ellen think it’s real. It isn’t, so don’t worry, and merry Christmas.
