It’s crazy how detached from normalcy all of these people are

This has been an eye opening experience for me.

I didn't even notice that they called out Twitter re: the dancing heads

Ooooof I hope for Q Comus’ sake there are no prom night-esque conjugal expectations after all this

This is the most movement I've seen him able to do all night.

So much politics. There is almost a distain clap .. but not as much as indifference

I need to know how I can be a dancing head too.

I told y’all, that’s my Mardi Gras night tradition to watch this and fall asleep. My wife and I laugh, cry and fall asleep bc we see so many people we know that look just absolutely miserable
I just woke up and caught the end, it’s such a train wreck and just about everyone I know that attends says the same thing.

Anyone else watching the rerun?

Has technology ruined this? It had to have been better when no one knew how weird it is.

Watching my DVR copy. There is not much I would not do to be a member of Rex or Comus.

Second picture is my nephew. He looks so fricking miserable.

Official Rex and Comus Ball Thread - WYES/YouTube 7:30 pm CSTHas technology ruined this? It had to have been better when no one knew how weird it is.
Its been live on local/state public television for years. But most people who watched it didn't take it any more seriously than any other Mardi Gras traditions such as riding horses or chasing chickens and hogs in the country, it was just silly dress-up for rich white people.
I agree, now that its available on the web and everyone can take notice it still makes me laugh and mock, but now I also feel weird and icky. I was invited to the Rex ball once and didn't go due to family commitments. I said if I had the chance again I would, but now I'm not so sure. I definitely would not be caught on TV doing the procession/bow thing, some would definitely screenshot that for blackmail.
FYI, I'm convinced one of the reasons WYES has a really large endowment for a public TV station, especially based on this TV Market size is all of the Rex/Comus people give more than generously than they normally might since they show the ball.
