Why do you wear jeans while playing volleyball?

1. i don’t?

2. Nuthugger basketball shorts don’t hide boners as well. If volleyball is anything like the documentary notes, everyone will be at full attention.

3. Bc they’re masochists

4. It’s a movie from the 80’s..

5. I don’t.

6. You can wear anything you want to play volleyball. Anything from the tiniest speedo to a full ball gown,

   In the case of the clip you posted, it is part of a movie. Movies are make believe. The actors where what they are told to wear. The clothes are usually used to make them look good and/or enhance the storyline.

   In case you forget… movies and tv shows are not examples of real life. They are make believe.

7. Your over analyzing some thing that doesn’t need to be analyzed at all.

   If you really want to know why Tom Cruise is in jeans you might need to ask the director/costume designer for the film.

8. We don’t wear jeans to play volleyball. That’d be silly.

   Jeans are for skiing.

9. That’s the official uniform of playin, playin with the boys.

10. During the early 80’s military servicemen were bound by the Levi-Wrangler act of 1983. It stipulated that servicemen were only permitted to wear uniforms and “appropriate civilian attire” which was defined as resembling a uniform – with one exception: jeans.

    It also stipulated that they had to be super tight and you had to do stuff rated at 73% gay while wearing jeans.

    This stood until the early 00’s when the Abercrombie-JNCO Act effectively repealed Levi-Wrangler.

11. Gunning for a 2022 shitpost award?

12. I’m allowed to wear whatever I want in an improtu game of volleyball as a US navy pilot. Nothing is better after seeing my girl and taking a long dramatic ride on my Bike wearing nothing but aviators jamming to Loggins. I don’t have time to focus on this, Iceman is gunning for my seat.

13. What better way to show off my sweaty dick outline than with a nice, tight pair of jeans while playing with 3 other shirtless, mustachioed, totally not gay gentlemen.

14. If you need to spank your friends for a good play denim is the most satisfying material

15. Almost wrote an actual response until I saw the username.

    Nice job! 💩

16. Well you see…. Somebody call the ghostbusters. We got another one loose.

17. If you think a scene from a 40 year old fictional movie represents reality then or reality now, you should log off for a while and touch grass.

18. I had to look at the username to realize this was a shitpost. Well played.

19. Fun fact: During production, producers of the film were worried that this scene would be considered softcore gay porn.

    Director Tony Scott had no idea what he wanted to do with the scene and essentially it was shot with little direction other than “Get them shirtless and spray them with baby oil”

    >“I didn’t have a vision of what I was doing other than just doing soft porn,” the director admitted on the Top Gun 30th anniversary DVD. “I knew I had to show off all the guys, but I didn’t have a point of view, so I just shot the shit out of it. I got the guys to get all their gear off and their pants and sprayed them in baby oil.”

    After hearing initial criticism from producers about the ‘softcore’ nature of the original cut of the scene, he went back to the edit, adding more scenes from that day and scored it with “Playing with the boys”

20. I have never known anyone IRL who has done this.

21. Only Tom Cruise is wearing jeans. I also see two sweat pants and board shorts. It may have something to do with Scientology; I don’t quite know.

    And I think, as a male, I just spent an uncomfortable amount of time watching that clip in slow motion.

22. Just rewatched this last night in prep for the new one and my fiancée said the same thing.

23. I don’t, and I don’t know anybody who does.

24. It’s definitely a military thing. It’s how they used to get around “Don’t ask, don’t tell.”

25. Because if you’re buff you look hot as fuck in just jeans.
