CHICKEN JOCKEY! The Minecraft Movie meme, explained
the minecraft movie is truly one of the worst movies i've ever seen but the universal reaction to 'chicken jockey' im seeing made it all worth it. — ollie 🧡🤍🩷 (@ollie_twt) April 5, 2025
A Minecraft Movie -- starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa -- seems like goofy fun (full disclosure: I haven't seen it yet).
But there's one scene in particular that has taken on a life of its own, and we saw it in the trailer: it's CHICKEN JOCKEY!
For those who don't know, a chicken jockey comes from the mega-popular game. It's a small zombie riding a chicken, and it's more dangerous than it sounds.
Anyway, when Black shouts "CHICKEN JOCKEY!" audiences are going absolutely nuts. Popcorn gets thrown. It's like that time we heard "On your left" in Avengers: Endgame, except the behavior here is getting out of hand.
There are videos showing that moment, and I'm hoping in explaining this, maybe we can all shout and cheer but not get thrown out of theaters. Thanks.
Let's tone it down, eh?
