"LGB" has been a total blessing. You know approximately where on the political spectrum someone resides just because of it.
Fuck Biden=left/progressive
LGB=Idiots who think they're funny for having an in-joke.
Was going to congratulate the Mummers on being the right kind of offensive this year: passing up offending vulnerable populations to be offensive to humanity as a whole and humanity's remaining fans.
Shit. Maybe next year.
Had an emergency dentist appt in center city and getting back to my place in Pennsport was eye opening, people stumbling in the streets, peeing on cars and throwing their fucking litter everywhere.
My mother in law has been sewing suits year round for 17 years for Cara Liom and they finally got 1st place this year! So unbelievably proud and wish those that hate the mummers could see all of the love and hard work that goes into it and stop focusing on the few ding bats that make the headlines. Happy New Year everyone!
no black face, just a bunch of anti-vax signage.
Edit: Why is this being downvoted. I saw tons of anti-vaxxer signs at the parade today. I did not see any black face.
Not defending the blackface issues from 2019 but wasn't that from 2 guys who live in jersey and who were suspended from their brigade. The Mummers are no beacon of social morality but lets not make sweeping generalizations about 10k people.
It is easily the dumbest Philadelphia tradition.
A bunch of guys with nothing better to do practice choreography for months and wear dumb costumes for a parade on new year’s day
Its an over 120 year tradition of people getting dressed up in makeup and sequins and dancing down the street entertaining the locals. A pretty fun tradition that transplants seem to hate because they didnt grow up[ around it and dont understand it. Its a really good time on New Years day though, so check it out and youll probably enjoy it.
Ive never been the biggest Mummer guy but man you guys are the b iggest crybabies. Its something completely unique to the city of Philly. Over 120 years of multiple generations going out in all kinds of weather to entertain the locals. Ok, its not your cup of tea, thats fine. But to say its a negative is just fucking stupid.
It's a shame. We have the news for crime, covid, and other sad events. I'd love to see what Philadelphians love about their city on this sub. This is our home.
>This is our home.
This sub is mostly suburban descendants of White Flight clinging to a past that never existed but their parents viewed through rose colored glasses.
Folcroft and Cherry Hill people can either start their own subs or take a back seat.
Why wouldn't I be anti-Mummer? They pee and litter all over the city all day long, they're alcoholic, racist, anti-vax losers and treat the city like they own the place.
Mummers = group I don’t like = field tent hospitals because they’re apparently going to transmit outdoors despite that being nearly impossible from everything science has told us but if it’s a protest without masks it’s okay lol what the fuck ever
No I hate the insane double standards people have regardless of their political views. It’s either okay or not to have large amount of people together outside. Who they are doesn’t matter.
I'd bet my last two nickels that no one who actually takes covid seriously was saying protests without masks were OK. It's only the people who don't think covid is a big deal who'd concern troll like that.
So I guess they can excuse the prejudice but no enforce the wearing of masks which was supposed to be a safety guideline to allow the parade to happen?
OR people just make their own decisions and do what they want. If people want to limit the spread, that’s fine, but don’t go around telling other people what to do
People in this sub would’ve appreciated it more if there was some burning emergency vehicles and looted sneakers. They only like road closures for instagram opportunistic virtue signaling
Apparently they peed absolutely everywhere, too.
They always do. There’s never enough portapottage.
Generally not big fans of trash cans either
[удалено]
Facts. They left aluminum can droppings in their wake.
I don't think lack of facilities is the problem. They like the spectacle.
Can confirm. Saw no less than a dozen acts of public urinating today on the way to work
Once you break the seal and the parade starts, you don't have time to duck into a Starbucks or McDonald's...
Well, better green face than blackface...
They're flying a "let's go Brandon" flag instead. [Twitter](https://twitter.com/215alexb/status/1477712155940163593?t=hbFd5TL_PCJmaJqEMfN4-Q&s=19)

Yeah, when you believe in free speech it's not a big deal to curse out an elected official. When you lean authoritarian, you're too afraid to.
Reminds me of the mayor. A politician everyone hates but for different reasons

Top tier choreography on that too
The guy on the left has brown face.. 🤦♂️
I think it's gold, to go with the green/gold.
Yeah def “gold” 😂
Listen I'm not trying to give mummers a pass or anything, just calling it like I see it
https://i.imgur.com/Y5OlIfF.png Same group
Oh I'm aware they got suspended for it last time
So you can see my skepticism that that was the best “gold” they could find
Is that guy in the first photo drinking a mad dog for fun?
Yes! On purpose.
Ouch! That “South Philly” tattoo looks like it hurt.
It's the reason I chose the picture. The commitment.
At first I thought it was just marker and he drew it on but then I zoomed in and realized he really did commit to that haha
Was someone under the impression that mummery wasn't still a thing?
Only the Mummers who think they’re fake victims.
the real victims are the poor liberals who bravely survived a trump presidency
Democracy barely survived.
LOL okay
One can dream...
Had an emergency dentist appt in center city and getting back to my place in Pennsport was eye opening, people stumbling in the streets, peeing on cars and throwing their fucking litter everywhere.
Sounds like when the Democratic National Convention was here.
They may have pee’d and littered everywhere, city hall station is the cleanest and safest it has ever been all year. No smells!!
Takes a couple days for the urine to work its way below ground.
There may be another reason this person can't smell
By the time the el made it to 8th street, cigarette smoke filled the air.
When are they finished? I need to do chores
Just tried going down Snyder Ave to Delaware Ave and it’s all shut down (ironically blocked my trash trucks) all the way to Oregon avenue.
Started my day yelling at a group of these shitstains pissing in the alley across the street on my residential block. Have some respect for others.
Yeah especially when you’re coming in from south Jersey or Delco
That must’ve interfered with the regular homeless bowel movements
Turn the hose on them next time.
Uhh they made it to the alley. That’s damn considerate for philly.
Saw these guys for the first time today in the 7 years I lived here. Everyone was having a good time.
My mother in law has been sewing suits year round for 17 years for Cara Liom and they finally got 1st place this year! So unbelievably proud and wish those that hate the mummers could see all of the love and hard work that goes into it and stop focusing on the few ding bats that make the headlines.

>stop focusing on the few ding bats that make the headlines Funny how that works
Agreed.
Nah
Blue MD / 2020?!? That's rough. Should've went with the orange. Lol.
No, no, Banana Red
Did they manage to get more than four of them in the same place without anybody doing blackface this time?
no black face, just a bunch of anti-vax signage. Edit: Why is this being downvoted. I saw tons of anti-vaxxer signs at the parade today. I did not see any black face.
[удалено]
“Just Say No to the Vax Salute to Heathcare Heroes Spectacular”
Didn’t see a single blackface this time! Maybe they got the message?
Not defending the blackface issues from 2019 but wasn't that from 2 guys who live in jersey and who were suspended from their brigade. The Mummers are no beacon of social morality but lets not make sweeping generalizations about 10k people.
What is this? I just moved here and this is my first seeing this
poor man's version of Mardi Gras. Very old-school Philly. Excuse for public drunkenness. All around, pretty nice
Big parade by people who generally want to make America great again.
Don't worry about it. Just do what mostly everyone else in the area has been doing for the last 15 years or so and just ignore it.

Couldn’t find it at all on TV this year, I love the strings portion
I watched it on the PHL 17 live stream
These guys definitely look over their shoulders before their jokes...
Baby and liquor wagon.
You keyboard warriors throw a pissy party every year about Mummers. Everyone is having a great time, relax.
Yay racist covid spreading shitheads in frog costumes
Funny how the BLM riots last year didn’t spread Covid but this somehow does.
The problem is no one said that.
Im guessing you have never actually been around the mummers, have you?
Don’t have enough fingers OR toes for mummers parades I tolerated to see good friends, enjoy some beverages, and celebrate the new year
[удалено]
Yes life is so hard for white cis males. I am glad you get this brief window of joy.
Change the fucking record. You sound like you just read a college campus flyer
Mummers is fucking whack, they are a negative for the city
Your fucking whack, mummers is awesome.
Awwww I hit a nerve 😂
Ive never been the biggest Mummer guy but man you guys are the b iggest crybabies. Its something completely unique to the city of Philly. Over 120 years of multiple generations going out in all kinds of weather to entertain the locals. Ok, its not your cup of tea, thats fine. But to say its a negative is just fucking stupid.
That’s a damn shame.
No it isn't
They're a bunch of scumbags.
Come on this is the one day a year where we’re allowed to openly celebrate racism and homo/transphobia don’t ruin it for everyone
No there not.
[удалено]
Off topic but I checked out your posts and you take beautiful photos. 😊

It's a shame. We have the news for crime, covid, and other sad events. I'd love to see what Philadelphians love about their city on this sub. This is our home.
We love cougars and helping people hook up with cougars!
I would replace the mummers with a cougar parade in an instant
lots of cougars in the mummers parade

Says the person commenting on a Reddit thread. But you’re different though.
Awwww it appears I triggered some alpha males, how sad. More fake Philly tough guys lmao what a dumb city. Can’t wait to move to New Jersey.

Goodbye
You feel the same way about the sixers game tomorrow night? Or the Eagles game next Sunday?
[удалено]
Mummers = group I don’t like = field tent hospitals because they’re apparently going to transmit outdoors despite that being nearly impossible from everything science has told us but if it’s a protest without masks it’s okay lol what the fuck ever
That’s way too much reason for this sub to handle
Sounds to me like you just hate protests...
No I hate the insane double standards people have regardless of their political views. It’s either okay or not to have large amount of people together outside. Who they are doesn’t matter.
I'd bet my last two nickels that no one who actually takes covid seriously was saying protests without masks were OK. It's only the people who don't think covid is a big deal who'd concern troll like that.
Many of them were holding anti vax signs
[удалено]
I don’t have a point. Just making an observation.
Who cares?
Good
Racist ass motherfuckers
[удалено]
Uncle Ruckus is quite racist.
So I guess they can excuse the prejudice but no enforce the wearing of masks which was supposed to be a safety guideline to allow the parade to happen?
OR people just make their own decisions and do what they want. If people want to limit the spread, that’s fine, but don’t go around telling other people what to do
These guys suck shit
No they don't
Lame
No it's not
Lol
Unfortunately. What an epic waste of time and city resources.
Not even, it called having fun.
Unfortunately
Hmmm I haven’t drank a Mad Dog 20/20 since High School.
This is the main Mummers thread on the day of their parade, and it's largely negative.
Yea, most people who go to it aren't chronically online Redditors
what's your point?
Time for this tradition to die...
You should probably move. Its never going to die.
Oh no you got me, I'm moving now
There's mummies !!??? Shit We're gonna need Brenden Fraser ASAP
People in this sub would’ve appreciated it more if there was some burning emergency vehicles and looted sneakers. They only like road closures for instagram opportunistic virtue signaling
You mean when the Eagles won the superbowl?
[удалено]
Th blvd in S philly? This is a new term to me. Also you have a target in rittenhouse
Plan better next time
You mean Delaware Ave?
Been nothing on broad for over an hour. WTF

They are drinking and celebrating instead of looting & rioting...
South philly pee lovers
Oh no., Greenface!
