I love when cartoon logic makes its way into real life, whether its realizing that quicksand isn’t as big of a threat in adulthood, or figuring out the logistics of how one would eat a giant Scooby-Doo sandwich. Another hallmark has been the trope of kids standing on each other’s shoulders under a trenchcoat to sneak into somewhere… and the Internet is proving just how real that can be.
On Wednesday night, a tweet from @matthewivan77 began to go viral, after they spotted two people doing the exact bit at New York’s Lincoln Square AMC. As their caption puts it: “walking out of my movie at AMC Lincoln Square and seemingly was the only person to catch two girls trying to get into a movie dressed in a giant trench coat and disguise? i love new york city.”
