I don't think you really understand the point of these videos. Obviously, what they do isn't accurate for a lot of cheerleaders, but a lot of it is! (Albeit with some obvious exaggeration). It's satirical. I'm not really sure where you got the idea that they were undermining the idea of the "athleticism" of cheerleading- a lot of the scenes reflected upon how sore they constantly were due to the athletic demand of cheer.

The video obviously wasn't serious, and why on earth should it need to be? It's just a couple of teenagers talking about and pointing out the silly behavior of some of the people that are involved in cheerleading. This video, whether or not you think it was funny, had the same purpose as every other of the "S*** (insert ethnicity/athlete/gender/etc.) Say" video- to lightheartedly poke fun at some of the stereotypes regarding the group. Say someone were to base their entire opinion about women based on the original "S*** Girls Say" video- that would unarguably be insane! Same thing applies to this video- a person who judges the athleticism of an activity based on this type of video must have some neurological issue. I for one am not particularly concerned if some theoretical loon doesn't think cheerleading is a sport based on one video that is obviously a joke.

If you don't find the video humorous, you don't have to watch it. Cheer, just like every other aspect of life, isn't so special that it deserves to have everything portray it in a serious or positive light. Additionally, as a cheerleader, I can safely say I didn't feel particularly exploited by watching this video, and I seriously doubt many other cheerleaders would.
Couldn't have said it better myself..
 
So I am assuming that the part right before they full up in their stunt sequence is what they are using as their "unassisted/coed" stunt? They are either using that or they still haven't added it to the routine. Not that I am complaining because I dislike it in routines a good 90% of the time it is just weird not seeing it in a routine when all the others have it.

Absolutely in love with the pryamid and the music just goes with it so well.
 
wow this team just keeps getting better!!! IN LOVE WITH THEM<3333 cali is back to defend first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
That was an awful video and an awful way to view cheerleaders...You basically insulted so many cheerleaders. We are athletes, Not girls (or boys who also have a ton of talent) who love sparkles and trophies and not eating. We work hard to be the best we can be by working on a team and demonstrating our skills. As a coach if I would have seen this and you were my cheerleaders I would kick you off my team. No matter if you are "worlds" cheerleaders.

The only comical part was the father part. I really hope you think about some of the negative things you put in this video and think twice about exploiting it because there are many of us who are trying to get cheerleading recognized as the sport it is. And not the garbage you just portrayed it as. Joke or not, it was ridiculous and I didn't laugh at all. Good luck trying to get anyone to take your athleticism serious ladies.


This comment seriously pisses me off. This video is obviously a joke. They are kids, and you know what? It was pretty funny and true in many ways. If you deny that fact, then you obviously haven't met anyone in the sport. From one coach to another, you shouldn't care. All I have to say is get of your high horse.

Oh and you think this video is really going to change the minds of people?

Please, maybe when cheerleading doesn't make every team who wins a small local a "national champion", worlds is actually hard to get a bid to, and every single team wears tshirts and shorts with only their team name on it, no make up and only straight pony tails, will our sport get taken seriously..
This video is the last of our worries.
