I never watched this show when I was a kid, but as a 14 year old I'm becoming interested in it. At first I was just here to see the original cup song beat, but now I'm here to actually watch the show and I like it, gosh I'm becoming a kid... But I like Zoom now.
You know I’m not going to lie when I say that I loved watching zoom as a kid. It just was a really awesome show. And it really makes me feel good inside to see them have fun
I used to be an after school teacher. Being a 70s kid, I really loved the new Zoom. I taped this episode and watched it over and over until I finally learned how to do this. Then I was ready to show my class. They loved it! We used to have team tournaments. I think our record was 67 time w/o missing a beat! It was great!
Keiko, yeah. It really does sound like it too XD I wonder what she really said, 'cause even if the censors missed it I think the other kids would have reacted.
Pitch Perfect got the cup song from Lulu and the Lampshades. Lulu and the Lampshades took the cup game and the 1930's song You're gonna miss me and combined the two together. This only got popular again because of Pitch Perfect.
The Cup Game is one of my favorite childhood games and I loved (still do) Zoom! It was so weird to see it blow up and everyone doing it because of Pitch Perfect. Not a lot of people knew it and it felt special..like some sort of secret handshake for 90's and 2000's kids. But it was cool how Lulu and the Lampshade incorporated it with "You're Gonna Miss Me".
this isn't even where the cup game started. the cup game is ages old but this is how I learned it. me and my sister used to kill this game and my winterguard almost got kicked out of a restaurant for playing it at the table.
She does say shit, it's one of those "Hey look at that guys hat it says the F word! Then in the next scene the hat is a totally different one. On a kids show"
you know whats sad? i remember this exact episode. i remember being in 1st grade when it came on. and i also remember asking my mom for a cup and then sitting on the porch at our apartment and trying to figure out how to do it...ahh good times...good times..
I used to be an after school care provider, and I video taped this ep and watched it a million times so that I could teach my class the cup game. We used to have tournaments and I think the highest we got w/o stopping was 73 times. BTW...when it's down to 2 players, you really don't need to cross your arm over to pass it, just put your arm straight forward to pass it to the player across from you.
FINALLY i was trying to remember where i heard this game before the song came out cause i was sure i knew it before the song, it was in the back of my mind with the other forgotten 90s shows
Wish it were true. But, actually, the earliest time this was done, was by a Christian artist Rich Mullins. Him and his band would do this during an acappella (however the heck you spell it) song.
I did too. Circa 2005 I found on Facebook and sent him a friend request...and he accepted! 😂 (Didn’t talk to him though - that was in the days before News Feed or Messenger.) Was sad to read when he passed away.
I'll try, but considering school and everything (we're not off of scool YET you know), I may have to try over break which starts on the 18th. So it may be a little late.
It's actually older than Zoom. It was sent in by one of the viewers like everything else (even Ubbi Dubbi). But Zoom is definitely what made it a popular game.
On the video Party with Zoom someone came up with words to say as you move the cups. "Clap, clap, bubble gum, clap, up, down. Clap, turn, touch, touch, change, pat, down."
