He’s an admittedly okay looking guy for his real age, but I’m sure no teenage girls were super attracted to him before.

Technically no he only gets arrested for indecent exposure running around in a bikini.

[@Magic_beans_]

I interpreted "13 Going on 30" as a variant on "A Christmas Carol" or "It's a Wonderful Life." Teen Jenna's pursuit of popularity was about to set her on a certain path, and the vision / body switch / time travel showed her the consequences that were waiting for her. She was then returned to shortly after that point and allowed to choose again. Side note: The "shortly after" is important to the story because it means Jenna/Scrooge/George Bailey doesn't completely escape the consequences of her/his behavior. Before they can have their second chance, they need to do one last thing: apologize to the people they've hurt.

[@EmilysAdventuresInHorrorland]

[@ackbarfan5556]

I think it works slightly better, I mean, what does Susan got going for her when Josh leaves? Getting a fresh state and knowing not to make the same mistakes I feel would've been better, not much but still.

[@simply_nebulous]

No, even more weird.

[@Logan_Baron]

No, that makes it more disturbing. It's a grown woman putting herself in a younger body to get with a child (it's problematic to begin with, but at least in the movie as it was, she didn't know he was a child). It would be like if in 17 again the Zac Ephron character was hooking up with the high school girls, knowing that it was really grown man Mathew Perry who just looked like a young Zac Ephron. Or any of the Freaky Fridays having the mom in the daughters body getting with the younger boys. There's a definite line in any older to younger body swap about not having them date those children.

I don't think it's the sexualization of younger innocence but the rekindled connection with something once lost to an adult, the child like innocence would be fun, lighthearted, and it would make the "adult behavior" protective of this innocence. The adult attraction to this younger innocence is like trying to protect their innocence to keep them from losing it like they did, and the best way to do that would be to become part of their life.

[@Coffee-ve8ub]

"What is up with people being attracted to childish behavior?" This is also displayed in random everyday things like how girls giggling and blushing is supposed to be a stereotype of cute girls people are attracted to, as well as the way people call each other things like "baby" or "boo" and other stuff. And males physically picking up, piggy back carrying and tickling girls is supposed to be seen as flirting when these are things people generally do with their children. The little details people find attractive in adults that display childish behavior like these ones are partially caused by the feeling of safety and comfort, and fun. We see tickling and carrying as a safe way for someone else to touch yourself or to touch another while expressing our interest in them so it starts the path of a relationship or gives us a chance to set a limit without being made too uncomfortable or scared. We see the girlish giggling as cute because it shows the innocence and joy we want in life.

[@Tkieron]

Because to men, femininity is attractive and to women masculinity is attractive. It's biological. Women giggling are seen as cute and feminine. Men displaying strength is masculine. You can argue with me but you can't argue with science.

[@Kcoldraz]

Mathew Perry does have a friend. And their connection is so strong that he actually convinced his best friend of what happened to him. Clearly the writer did not watch that movie.

[@rachelle2227]

Onepiecethunder23 What you're arguing is irrelevant. You are talking about suppression, not repression, there's a difference. With repression, it takes considerable effort to bring up the memory that is being repressed. Dozens of therapy sessions. This is an unconscious effort, suppression is a conscious effort generally. (And like I said, repression isn't that common, or may not even be a thing).

Katie may be focusing on the slumber party as something creepy but the creepiest one or the one that could at least get her in jail real quick was the scene in which she's at a bar with Lucy and she decides to hit on a prebuescent boy who was there too. Lucy meant the middle-aged guy who was making eyes at her from the other side of the bar but when Lucy tells her that how does she react? she thinks it's gross to hit on him because he's too old for her. We know it's normal for a13 year-old to think that but no one else in the movie knows that and in real life she would have been called a paedophile even though the movie subtly pointed at it. The opposite outcome doesn't look any better although we'd have to take into account that Matt being around 30 too technically kissed a 13 year old even if they can't prove it because she's trapped in a 30 year old body. the whole dating thing doesn't work that well in this movie because of the age difference. It's awful if you stop to think about it. I'm glad there was still some fairy dust left on the rooftop of the dream house for Jenna to come back to her own time .

9:15 “you will never see a body switching movie where a middle aged man swaps bodies with a senior citizen” actually, there’s an episode of Angel (the spinoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) where an old man uses magic to swap bodies with Angel because he thinks he’s just a normal young guy and Angel has to try to dodge the nurses at the senior center to get word to his team. Not exactly part of the body switching movie genre but it exists!

[@LaDracul]

Actually, I recall in "13 Going on 30" Matt's fiancee announces they would be moving overseas after their wedding and he doesn't look like he's comfortable with it, so there was ANOTHER factor in him doubting this engagement.

[@codyweston7489]

Okay, the milk carton said “Dan Obrian” is a missing kid, implying that he is in the situation of the type of movies they are talking about. In episode about the Buffy director it comes out that Micheal has had his brain swiped to clear memories a dozen times causing long term irreversible brain damage. In the body snatchers episode it ends with it coming out that sauron is the sauron of another dimension. In a different episode they hint towards that their life does not exist outside of this diner. The new after hours crew sucks, but they should do an after hours where they build a theory that factors in all of these elements to build a grand “after hours universe” theory. It could end with them realizing that they are in the same dimension.

[@ackbarfan5556]

[@redhead42098]

Ren Allsup they absolutely never clarified that. they said "where a middle aged man swaps bodies with a senior citizen." with that wording, we're going to assume the middle aged man and the senior citizen are two different people. there are many ways to word that in a more clear way if that's actually what they're trying to say.

[@taekinuru2]

I would totally work for Cracked if they'd hire me. Experience in administration, hobbyist writer, 25, know far too much about Disney cartoons. I suspect they're not interested though.

[@fysh44]

Man I miss this channel this series and the cracked website and crew. After hours was my favorite.

[@sharky0922]

"Missing Dan O'Brain" on the milk hahahaha

[@snowstorm7226]

Oh this is my favorite segment! Please, please, PLEASE!!!! Make more after hours

[@StrawberryAqua]

I always had trouble with the slumber party in 13 Going on 30. This only scratches the surface.

[@MIAsuxdonkey]

It’s called Radiant. It’s a Korean drama about a young woman losing half her life through a time traveling ‘accident’ and turning into an old granny just FYI

[@webstar118]

Lmaoooo Daniel "are you a snitch" great start guys

[@generalxiii1719]

that background music... it’s like just barely audible pinball machine with a grainy cassette tape playing old school metal))

[@5kastubh5]

kid Dan Obrian looked like kid from Home Alone. Hole just goes deeper n deeper.

[@Dangolbustedman]

>you’ll never see a body swap of a middle aged man to another middle aged man Uh The change up

[@Drace90]

I always hate it when adults say that children are stupid. That's wrong in every possible way. I work with children and they keep surprising me over and over again. Foremost they don't make the mistakes grown ups do. They are open minded, interested in all kinds of things, they don't prejudice, they DO things instead of talking about them and five minutes after arguing with each other they are friends again. Plus, our cognitive activity and capacity is WAY bigger in childhood and only gets weaker the older we get. That's a scientific fact. For example I just can't win a game of Memory against a certain six year old in the kindergarten I work in. Noone can. It's amazing. Underestimating the next generation is a big mistake. If anything, we are the stupid ones. We are responsible for all the problems in our society. Some of these problems probably wouldn't even exist, if we would try to learn from our kids, instead of forcing them to become like us.

[@commonsense6323]

Blame the people that shove their own prejudices and religion down their children's throat, Do not blame the current generation, as we are doing our best to make sure the upcoming generation doesn't have too many problems as of now.

[@ryanvern3513]

Children are extremely stupid and useless

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

+Drace90 It's always interesting to me how you can immediately tell people who haven't grown up enough to realize just how limited your thinking actually is as a kid. Don't worry, you'll grow up in a few years and look back on this and realize just how ignorant you're being. That WILL happen.

[@Officialencode]

+Drace90 I think what you're meaning to say is that children have a higher capacity for intelligence than adults. Because like... they are truly the most ignorant humans.

[@Onepiecethunder23]

+Drace90 just a few examples im familar with by seeing it happen or by having it happen to me. "They are open minded, interested in all kinds of things and they dont prejudice..."; Your fat, so that makes you stupid. Your Ugly that means your not worthy of being near us, talking to us or being alive. Your smarter than me that makes you a nerd and a loser. Your not worth my time except to make fun of or beat up. (you see where im going with this... sadly) "...they do instead of talking about them" Really? So many examples come to mind. Everything from someone saying they did something to someone lying about doing it bigger, better and faster. Kids talking about a game or show thats popular and people are talking about they say they have it and love it. A lot talk about doing something (could be nearly anything really) and end up passing on the idea later. Kinda weak but still you get the point. (...and five minutes after arguing with each other they're friends again.) I dont really need to give a lot of examples about this one. Just one word; bullying. People do just horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE things to each other and sadly today more than ever through social media kids are worse than ever imo. They seem to have even less regard for others than they used to, They will attack others to the point of them harming themselves. Its a sad, horrible and shameful thing that that kind of thing happens. Not everyone forgives and not everyone becomes friends. Its nice to be idealistic but its better to be a realist imo. People are just bad for one reason or another and its better and easy to expect the worse and prepare for that than to think they're all good and be shocked every time they do something mean and horrible again... but thats just how I think and thats my opinion. Sorry didnt mean to rant but seeing your comment I just felt a need to say my part.

[@kingsaimit1474]

Make more of these. They're the best segments on this channel

[@rubyellis2230]

Anyone else see the milk carton with the "Missing: Dan O'Br-" at 4:30. Now I'm not saying Dan body-swapped, but...

[@Angelofthursday99]

It would explain so much of his social ineptitude...

[@fairytailgirl123]

yes.I've been waiting for this series to return

[@soccergurl26598]

Why is no one talking about Dans face on the missing milk cartoon at 4:30 lol

[@timothydoingthings]

The close up cut of the milk carton was crass. I noticed the ‘missing’ lable and was waiting for the subtle reveal but you cut to a close up which made the gag really obvious and over thr top. Respect the audience guys.

[@greywolf7577]

There are literally people in the comments saying "Hey, did you guys notice the milk carton?" Clearly, they had to make it that obvious or 90% of the audience wouldn't notice it.

[@TheBlackDeck]

omg a new one! omg omg omg!

[@ryanvern3513]

You hyped yourself way too much

[@TheBlackDeck]

+Ryan Vern NEVER

[@TomSterckx]

+EpochDeus Why do you have my profile pic wtf

[@TheBlackDeck]

Mines diff, and i had it first.

[@Chaosmagician100]

This is my new favorite KZbin channel.

[@stevenhess8978]

Since the topic is more of a general "person this age gets put into a body of a different age" an interesting topic to bring to the table is the book Old Man's War in which a senior citizen (You have to be at least 65 to give DNA samples) gets put not only into a 25-ish body but a 25-ish super body. The focus of the story isn't at all about someone old being young again but it's an interesting thing to think about (in the book the first thing they all do is have sex like wild rabbits which seems reasonable for the average person to do if they are suddenly go from old to young and super fit).

[@KorilD]

I'm glad these are still being made. I quite like them.

[@christiancorona8617]

why does he have a carton of milk in a RESTAURANT??? people never get a whole carton for customers. they give it to u by glass.

[@timlepo7080]

I always buy entire cow. First you milk it and then you eat it.

[@allisondoak9425]

+christian corona in high school I used to sometimes buy 2 litre bottles of milk at lunch time for a gag (because I was a super cool kid) and then took it with me to where ever we were going to eat. I never got kicked out for it. One time at McDonald's I finished it took it up to the drink dispenser thing and filled it with Fanta after washing it out with coke zero and the employees didn't even react. The lesson being people who work in shit holes aren't payed enough to care about rules

[@christiancorona8617]

they are mammals...

[@DawnViolet]

I think purely for the joke of Dan being a missing child on the milk carton. it's a set up. no logic to it

[@jamessanders7315]

I have never subscribed to anything. But I have sincerely enjoyed all of your After Hours videos and subscribed to your channel. You guys (actors/writers) make me so happy and keep me chuckling. Thank you for the new video, like the others, it was great. That includes your Today's Topic and others. The diversity of the characters and ideas you speak about are terrific. Especially the artwork and animation flashed in. I love watching these videos as I enjoy dinner. (That is a complement coming from me because if I am not eating with my family, I typically watch my favorite television show or movie during my dinner.)I look forward to more After Hours in the future. Thanks for the fun and hilarious videos and your articles. You are great.

[@smellyderpface]

is that star from sourcefed in the background?

[@StarlineHodge]

+smellyderpface Maybe... >_>

[@shaneybot3031]

thanks guys, these videos really help me unwind

[@b1merio]

So do you guys shoot at an actual diner?

[@OzwalR]

They do, it's in the credits

[@Mr_Phox]

+b1merio That they do, they've been at a few different locations over the years, but, as is the case here, they're most often found at Los Feliz Cafe, predictably located in Los Feliz, CA.

[@macsnafu]

4:30 A young Dan O'Brien is missing. This explains so much!

[@BunnyTheQueenSkepticFirebrand]

Look at this kid on the fucking milk xD

[@samanthabailey02]

Because of your request, I loved the sketch. This has easily become the biggest obsession I have ever had. Yall are beautiful people and Dans a beef cake. I love cake. Thanks for the entertainment!!! Soren Rules!

[@MoeMentos]

Dang, Dan, did you really eat that spunky-spooned sprinkly choco-sugar bowl? Because you really got salty at the end there.

[@mrduckman225]

Still rocking this in 2019!!! CRACKED FOR LIFE!!!

[@crazykenna]

I really like 13 Going on 30 ... Yep. Wow. That's upsetting.

[@malcomchase9777]

+crazykenna That one was the biggest stretch in the video. Anytime magic appears in a movie you can say "This is not real, the character is imagining it" but that's lazy. The first two were alright, though.

[@MJsPepsihair]

eh, they stretched a lot there

[@crazykenna]

Malcom Chase It's not the literal interpretation of magical realism in that movie that I found upsetting upon reflection, it's the problematic message of the man she courts falling in love with the childhood version of her that he never really got over - even when he was just about to marry another woman. That's pretty regressive and upsetting, don't you think?

[@malcomchase9777]

crazykenna When you put it that way, yeah, that's pretty bad. And not much of a stretch at all. I mean, he is still crushing on her after all those years. Damn, that's depressing now...

[@xgray2012]

+crazykenna Yeah...weird!!! *shivers!* Now, I'm never gonna look at 13 Going on 30, the same way again because of this video. :(

[@hulkslayer626]

I can't stop watching these!!! Soooo good!

[@Imbor3dk]

Childhood me wanted to read books . I'm a nerd lol

[@julcaos]

You guys are the MOST creative group of interesting, intelligent and out of the "norm" perspective of people i´ve seen on youtube... Awesome... Keep it up...

[@FallotFilms]

0:39 "Children are stupid. That's why they're smaller. You have to earn the mass you take up in the world" best quote from this series

[@sdowns77]

So good. thanks for your contribution to this subject

[@snugglyface7834]

"look at this f$*ing kid on the milk" i love these guys

[@ShaineEdwards]

You know what I love about After Hours? The camera doesn't bob and weave all over the goddamn place like the other videos of them talking. Thank you for holding a camera correctly Cracked!
