NFL touchdown celebrations...

[oldrover]

Whether simple... like Dion's...



...or involved... like Kelce's...



...for the first time in a long time, they are fun!

I find these rehearsed pantomime routines with multiple players nauseating. Just my opinion.

Some of them are pretty good. Doesn't bother me.

 

[PrairiePat]

Not a big fan of them really, but better this than a penalty flag for actually being excited.

I agree. Each to their own, but I am not a fan. I can't remember who it was, but someone got a sack in a game that was on redzone on Sunday and even had a dumb choreographed routine with his teammates to celebrate the sack.

The simplicity of Dion's was great. When he flipped the ball at the camera, there was an audible "doink". My son and I cracked up.

Sometimes it’s like watching 3 & 4 year olds at Mommy & Me classes. Everyone’s wicked psyched and doing their own thing.

All these celebrations will never live up to our neighbors to the north.....

 

[Geezer Butler]

I love that the celebrations are back but you can tell most of these players weren't even watching football when celebrations were a common thing. They have no clue what they're doing! Most have been really really lame with few exceptions.

The best celebrations were always a spur of moment expression of pure joy that can never be rehearsed. These modern celebrations are all trying waaaay too hard.

Billy White Shoes Johnson comes to mind.

I think it's done a good job of adding a bit of fun back to the league. Do I like them all, definitely not, but I like that they have the opportunity to be creative.

While the team orchestrated ones can be entertaining it's also scary at the same time because you realize that they must be practicing these things during the week. Could you imagine BB walking in on a bunch of Pats practicing a TD dance?

I love em, they're supremely over the top but it's like...what do you expect? They've been bottling these up for how long now? Lots of pent up celebration frustration.

It's like going a year without sex and then wondering why the chick got plastered to the wall.

 

[Dagg]

Need more Icky shuffle and fun bunch or white shoes johnson throwbacks. Less of the 8 player coregraphed ones...

My all-time favorite TD celebration:

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I love the celebrations. Juju in particular has had hilarious ideas. It's a game; why shouldn't they have fun? I'm amazed at how many people don't like the concept -- I get that not each one may be your personal taste, but to reject all celebrations entirely seems a bit crotchety.

I'm glad Pats players haven't elevated their celebrations to the farcical levels of other teams. The image that comes to mind when I watch these group circle jerks is of morning player rehearsals during commercial breaks of Sponge Bob.
I guess the league has abandoned TD celebration oversight. It will get out of hand.

Speaking of which, lack of discipline was on full display this past weekend, especially with Jacksonville who operate as if taunting is a post-play requirement.

Tell me something. What sort of emotion do you feel when you are eating dinner in a quiet setting and you can hear the person next to you chewing?

 

[PrairiePat]

This one always makes me laugh. Short but effective.

 

[Not Over 07]

I was always partial to Merton Hanks chicken dance.

 

[Kontradiction]

My favorite so far was the Steelers re-enacting the Jalen Ramsey/AJ Green fight.
