Earlier today we received an email on the tips line (tips at uproxx dot com) from a reader named Kyle that included a link to a YouTube video. His message to us was this: “Oh god please post this! Just. Please.” Naturally we watched the video and now know why Kyle was so adamant that we post it. Simply put, it’s painfully glorious. Or gloriously painful. Or perhaps something in between.
Anyway, watching this made me reflect back on all the stupid things I did for love when I was a teenager. And holy sh*t did I do a lot of stupid things for love when I was a teenager! Thank God the internet wasn’t around back then, otherwise I’d probably be this kid. I’d totally be this kid. Because of that, I can relate to him going to such humiliating lengths to court a girl, but that’s not gonna stop me from posting it. Besides, just look at that freakin’ shirt!
And that sweet guitar riff under the tree!
Thanks for the tip, Kyle.

My God, it’s like my entire adolescence in youtube form. This hits a little too close to home.
Ditto.
agreed
Being a teenager really, really sucked.
While yes, I laughed my ass off, I also respect the hell out of this kid. Big balls!
i just want to hug the sorry bastard… maybe i should put on pants first.
SO fucking glad the internet didn’t exist when I was 12.
Also, this kids’s gonna learn the hard way that grand romantic gestures like this NEVER work. High school girls like guys that are all brooding, angry and indifferent. Isnt that right, JOSIE REINHARDT!!! YOU COLD HEARTED WITH! WHY WOULDNT YOU LOVE ME!!!!!!
*witch
It’s like he’s taking her on a tour of all the places he could dump her body.
Hey, I totally second the “glad” i didn’t have to go through this (the second time), the first time was on the house and lots of fun to boot. I should write a story about it someday! Would you publish it? FUCKING “RUSH” RULES
Wasn’t this guy Frodo’s pal in Lord of the Rings?
PS…you’ve got stones kid, gotta give you that.
I think that BRYAN ADAMS did a good job on sing a song for that Emily girl that is so precious of him
I’m getting some George Michael Bluth vibes from this kid!
I remember writing a letter confessing my love for a girl like immediately after I saw “Can’t Hardly Wait”…*sigh*…great, now I have to remember that all day.
At least the man knows how to dress when professing his love
I may not have been cool when I was a teenager, but I was sure as fuck cooler than this kid.
Kip from Napoleon Dynamite + Star Wars Kid = this.
