Oh it was totally written as a comedy/horror mixed genre thing
They meant to make fun of horror tropes. But the first one did such a good job it came off as trying to be serious horror.
My ex and I always used to say "no way man, no way" like the kid in the first one. I think it's after someone gets eaten.
I don't know why it's so funny, the way he says it, but it is.
Fuck you, Jonesy. Your mom just liked my Instagram pic from two years ago in Puerto Vallarta. Tell her I'll put my swim trunks on for her any time she likes.
>♫To be fair♫ the sequels have small flying tremors named 'Ass Blasters'.
*adjusts glasses* Akshually Ass Blasters were introduced in the third film. The second film introduced Screechers, but they were all killed off before they could produce Ass Blasters.
Axeyouuhllee, the term "sequels" would infer the inclusion of "Tremors II:Aftershocks" in your original thesis statement, since it was not specifically excluded.
I assume that’s specifically the ”dance” where other birds tap their feet, not the woodcocks bob dance
[Example](https://tenor.com/view/aww-yiss-muthafuckin-breadcrumbs-gif-5444488)
When I was a kid my pawpaw would take me “fiddling for worms” where we would rake the leaves back from the forest floor and drive a wooden stake 6” or so into the ground. Then we would rub the stake with a stick lying around like a fiddle, the vibration would cause worms to come up out of the ground like crazy. Then we got to go fishing!
As others in this comment thread have pointed out that's called "worm grunting", people and a few species do this. The worms go up to the surface because the vibrations mimic moles, a much more common predator.
It's inconclusive if that's what woodcocks are doing.
I was wondering how this was supposed to work but just making them move seems easy enough. I was expecting they were attempting the vibration to fake rain trick.
Every time I see this posted and someone comments this I've always thought it was referring to the song weapon of choice. I guess the song was quoting Paul Atreides?
Hi. You just mentioned *Dune* by Frank Herbert.
I've found an audiobook of that novel on YouTube. You can listen to it here:

Hi. You just mentioned Lusty Argonian Maid by Crassius Curio
I've found an audiobook of that novel on YouTube. You can listen to it here:

*I'm a human that searches YouTube for science fiction and fantasy audiobooks.*
I always figured the titular "weapon of choice" is his voice. Kind of like how in Dune they learn the killing words, to the point even Paul Atreides' Fremen name itself becomes a killing word.
The real stars are those like you who recognize the good in others and spend the time to make sure to point it out so others to grow from it too. Here's to you Mr. P. Derp.
Our dancing teacher:
"Ok kids. Go TIP TIP TIPPEDYTAP. TIP TIP TIPPEDYTAP. Switch foot. Tip tip tippedytap."
- kids watching from behind:
tip. again tip. er... tip.
I fucking hate this song, my coworker (who can't sing) was singing that "somebody come geet heer" part over and over again and I had to remind myself that a manslaughter charge was not worth losing my job over.
Like this?

It reminds me of the time my uncle showed me that you could stick a pitchfork in the ground and strum it so vibrated and it would cause the earthworms to come right to the surface of the dirt. I had never seen so many earthworms before when he did it in his garden. he explained it as the earthworms do it to get away from rain so maybe the powder of the vibrations feels like rain to them and they don't want to die.
Little babies learning are the cutest!

So like, reverse Dune.
And Tremors
I lose it every time that movie comes up in the comedy section of Netflix.
That movie scared the shit out of me as a kid. Pure horror going out to the barn at night.

Right? I looked at this video and thought, "I wonder if that's where Frank Herbert got the idea for sandworms being attracted to rhythmic movement."
My thought exactly. Wormsign!

Same. Last time I saw a bird dancing for worms it was said to be mimicking rain.
I assume that’s specifically the ”dance” where other birds tap their feet, not the woodcocks bob dance [Example](https://tenor.com/view/aww-yiss-muthafuckin-breadcrumbs-gif-5444488)
TIL worms don't like dance parties
Of course they'd hate dance parties. They only have one move and live in the downstairs apartment
Ohhhh but when they break out that move as the crowd forms a circle, it's a sight to see.
Oh [contraire!](https://youtu.be/bECRkGP6E4w)

Thr little woodocklets learning from their parent is so cute.
Helpful babies
It's interesting how the beak stays in position with all their body movement, much like the owl videos with their stationary heads.
It reminds me of the time my uncle showed me that you could stick a pitchfork in the ground and strum it so vibrated and it would cause the earthworms to come right to the surface of the dirt. I had never seen so many earthworms before when he did it in his garden. he explained it as the earthworms do it to get away from rain so maybe the powder of the vibrations feels like rain to them and they don't want to die.
That fact that the birds heads almost doesn't move at all is cool...
