‘This Checks Out:' Man Says Jeep Wrangler Owners and Disney Adults Have ‘The Same Vibe.' Here's What He Means
What do Disney adults and Jeep Wrangler owners have in common? According to people online, a lot. That's the point one TikTok user made—half-joking, half-serious—in a video that's now been viewed over 685,000 times. Earlier this month, creator Michael Dallas (@themichaeldallas) declared that Disney adults and Jeep Wrangler owners 'give off the same vibe.' He didn't specify why, noting, 'I don't know how to explain this.' But that didn't matter. The internet understood. 'Give off the same vibe? They're the same people,' one commenter responded. What Exactly Is a Disney Adult? Simply put, a Disney adult is an adult who loves Disney passionately and without apology. This might mean they make frequent visits to Disney theme parks, have a closet full of character merchandise, or plan life milestones around Mickey-shaped icons. The fandom often faces ridicule. A 2022 Rolling Stone article even labeled Disney adults as one of the most hated groups on the internet.

'I Would Have Just Cried and Waited for Everyone to Leave:' Woman Tries to Park Ford Expedition at the Airport. It Backfires 'Being a Disney adult is nothing short of an embarrassment,' it declared. The piece referenced a viral Reddit post about a bride who reportedly blew her catering budget to hire Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse for her wedding. The post generated such a stir that moderators ended the thread. 'I like Disney too, but the 'Disney adult' fanatics who would rather see Mickey & Minnie for 30 minutes rather than feed their guests [are] just so unbelievably selfish,' one commenter wrote. 'I'm glad I don't know these people in real life.' From Disney Adult to Jeep Drivers Dallas didn't elaborate, but he offered one theory in his caption: 'Maybe it's the ducks?' He's referencing the 'ducking' phenomenon—when Jeep Wrangler owners leave rubber ducks on each other's vehicles as a kind of friendly gesture. According to Motor Trend , it started with a Canadian Jeep driver in 2020 and quickly became a viral tradition among Wrangler fans. Today, some owners carry ducks just in case they come across another Jeep. Hertz once offered brand-new Wrangler 4xe hybrids with ducks pre-loaded inside. Like Disney adults, Wrangler owners are sometimes accused of treating their fandom more as a lifestyle or a cult. But the comparisons are meant to be lighthearted. Via TikTok direct message, Dallas said that his post "was all in good fun" and "celebrates the quirks we all love to poke fun at." "Both the Jeep Wrangler community and Disney adults share a passion for self expression, visual flair, and going over the top," he added. "There's something reminiscent of modern over-consumerism when seeing a Wrangler dashboard covered in rubber ducks to accent all of the stick on neon accessories from Amazon covering the exterior or spotting someone with an entire wall dedicated to Mickey ears in the guest bedroom of their four bedroom three bath suburban home; it's harmless but hilarious." Less Ducks, More Vibes Both Jeep Wrangler owners and Disney adults are passionate. Both also build communities around a brand. And both can seem a little much to some. 'Some Venn diagrams are just a circle,' one viewer quipped. Another added, 'If I see someone owns a Jeep, I immediately know they're going to be too much for me. Not always in the same way, but always too much in some way.' And then there were the self-aware commenters. 'My husband and I are Jeep owners and Disney adults,' one admitted. 'This checks out.' Of course, not everyone agreed. Some Wrangler owners said the comparison was offensive. 'Nope. Wrangler owner here,' one said. 'Hate the duck thing and hate Disney!' 'There are completely different kinds of Wrangler owners,' another argued. 'As a Wrangler owner with a deep hatred for Disney and all their movies and parks, I'm offended,' a third said. Dallas told Motor1 , "At the end of the day, it's about finding joy in the things you love. Whether that's off roading with your duck adorned Jeep or planning your next Disneybound outfit, I say embrace it. The world's more fun with a little bit of extra personality."

'I'm a maternity nurse and these triplet baby names are the worst I've ever heard'
Many parents will want to give their little ones names as unique as they are - but one maternity nurse said that these triplet names were the worst she'd heard Parents often try to give their little ones the most unique and outlandish names they can to make them stand out from the crowd. Having the same name said over and over again on the register when your child goes to school is less than ideal. But sometimes, parents are taking the individuality too far, and it's leaving people who come into contact with them dumbfounded and wondering how to pronounce some of them. One woman said that she was in nursing school and decided to ask maternity nurses what the worst names they'd ever seen were during their job. The results left her cringing. Taking to Reddit's 'tragedeighs' forum, the woman explained: "I'm in nursing school and recently had a rotation on the labour and delivery floor, so of course I had to ask what the worst tragedeighs they've seen." Some of the stand outs were: Ya'AllJealous My'King Twins named Awasha and Adrya Jream But then, "by far the worst one" was a woman who had triplets and decided to give the girls Disney-inspired names. She wrote: "Triplets named Moana, Pocahontas, and Elsa respectively. The worst part about this one is that the parents were huge Disney Adults and they're fully Caucasian". Moana, made famous for the film with the same name, is of Polynesian heritage. The film draws from the rich cultures, traditions, and stories of Polynesian islands such as Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti, Tonga, and Hawaii. The filmmakers collaborated closely with cultural experts from the Pacific Islands, known as the Oceanic Story Trust, to ensure an authentic representation of Polynesian history and mythology. Moana is portrayed as a courageous and resourceful young leader who comes from the fictional island of Motunui, which is inspired by real Polynesian cultures and their deep connection to the ocean, navigation, and storytelling. Pocahontas is a Native American character inspired by the historic figure of Matoaka, a Powhatan woman from the Tidewater region of what is now Virginia. She belonged to the Powhatan Confederacy, a network of Algonquian-speaking Indigenous tribes in that region. Disney's portrayal of Pocahontas in the 1995 animated movie is highly fictionalised and romanticised, but it draws from her cultural heritage as a member of the Powhatan people. The film loosely addresses elements of her tribal identity, such as her connection to nature and harmony with the environment, although it has faced criticism for historical inaccuracies and cultural simplifications. Elsa, the character from Disney's Frozen, is the queen of Arendelle, a fictional Nordic kingdom inspired by Scandinavian culture, particularly Norway. Her heritage reflects elements of traditional Scandinavian customs, architecture, and landscapes. The design of Arendelle incorporates influences from Norwegian stave churches, fjords, and other elements of Nordic culture, tying Elsa and her background to this region. Additionally, in Frozen 2, it is revealed that Elsa has ties to the Northuldra people, an indigenous group inspired by the Sámi, the indigenous people of Scandinavia. This connection emphasises her spiritual bond with nature and her role as the fifth spirit, bridging the natural and human worlds. In the comments, people were horrified at the names that had been chosen for these children. One wrote: "Ya'alljealous is probably the worst name I've ever seen… and let me tell you, NOBODY will be jealous, that kid will be bullied relentlessly for that name". Another penned: "There's a kid at my daughter's school named Mi'Desire. It sounds so icky hearing an adult say it". Speaking about the Disney names, one woman said: "Elsa is fine and there were so many other good options to go with it. Aurora, Ariel, Anna, Jasmine - even Belle or Merida would have been better".
