Okay, so I was just scrolling through this Reddit thread, and it’s about this guy who proposed to his girlfriend in the most elaborate, cute way. Basically, he edited a custom proposal message into their movie night—specifically into *Shrek*, I think—so that when they were watching, his face popped up on screen asking her to marry him. The video shows her in her pajamas on the couch, and she just springs up, totally surprised and overjoyed. It’s honestly adorable.
Now, the comments are a whole mix of reactions. A lot of people are just completely charmed by the whole thing—they’re pointing out how genuine her reaction was, how she jumped to her tiptoes to hug him, and how sweet it is that he changed into a suit while she was still in her PJs. There’s this whole side conversation about the logistics, like how he must have rehearsed the timing to sneak out and change clothes, and some are even joking that he probably edited himself into every movie in their collection, just in case she picked something else that night.
But then, there’s this other layer where people got really distracted by the subtitles in the video—turns out they’re using the *Skyrim* font, so half the thread is just making “arrow to the knee” jokes and referencing the game. It’s kind of funny how that became a whole thing.
Some folks are really appreciating the song choice in the background, “This Must Be The Place” by Talking Heads, saying it’s a perfect, quirky love song for the moment. And then, of course, there are the jokesters who started imagining how this proposal would’ve gone if she’d picked a different, way more intense movie—like *Requiem for a Dream* or *The Human Centipede*—which led to some pretty darkly hilarious hypotheticals.
A few comments took a slightly more relatable, maybe cynical turn, where people are sharing their own experiences about trying to watch movies with their partners who fall asleep or are on their phones the whole time. There’s a sense of envy, but in a good-natured way, like “Wow, this guy’s girlfriend actually pays attention to the movie.”
Overall, the vibe is overwhelmingly positive and warm—people are congratulating the couple, calling them “grossly cute,” and just really celebrating the creativity and the obvious love between them. But it’s not all just gushing; there’s a lot of humor and nerdy detail-spotting mixed in, which makes the whole discussion feel really genuine and engaged. You can tell everyone’s just enjoying this little burst of internet joy.
