…oh chimp, we played this game in class…
…but I can’t remember the rules :O
Seven people up. Lights go off, heads go down, thumbs go up. The seven tap one thumb apiece. When they’re done, lights go on, heads go up. If you guess who tapped your thumb, you trade places.
Thereyago

Thumbs up seven up, if I remember right, is a game in which the students all put their heads on their desks, close their eyes and put their thumbs up. Then, 7 selected students roam around in the classroom and each of them touch the thumb of another student, if you have been touched you need to guess which one did it. Shall you succeed, you will be the one roaming.
me neither.. D:
Someone’s gonna need to explain “Seven Up” to me.
google is your friend
you’re welcome
Agreed, google is the solution. I totally lol’d at the comic, then went through the comments to see what other people thought and the humor died. Didn’t anybody online go to elementary school? hahaha

Google is your friend. Don’t forget him/her.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Up_(game)
Seven Up (sometimes called “Heads Up, Seven Up”, “Heads Up, Thumbs Up”, “Thumbs Up, Seven Up”, or “Heads Down, Thumbs Up”) is a traditional children’s game that is played in primary schools, and to a lesser extent at parties. The goal is for each selected participant to correctly guess the person who pressed down his or her thumb. It takes a minimum of 14 children to play the game in its truest sense, but if there is a smaller group to start with, fewer than seven can be picked at the start. This game dates back to at least the 1950s.
To start the game, seven children are selected and come to the front of the room. The teacher (or selected player) says, “Heads down, thumbs up!” or “Heads down all around!”. The children who are not selected then put their heads down, close their eyes, and put up one thumb each. The chosen seven circulate through the room, secretly pressing down one thumb each and then returning to the front of the room. A variation is simply tapping the person. This part of the game takes about one minute. Some people cheat and pick more than one person. They also try to throw someone off by pressing on their thumbs softer or harder. Another common occurrence is for the kids to bend the rules and look at the shoes of the person who picked them. In the elementary school setting, when windpants or corduroy are worn, it is often easy to identify who touched you by the “swishing” noise that is made by one who wears them.
The teacher/selected player then calls, “Heads up, seven up!” or “Heads up, stand up!” All children raise their heads and the seven whose thumbs were pressed stand up. Each in turn names the person they think pressed their thumb. If they are correct, the thumb-presser sits down and the winning child takes their place. The game then starts again.
The child who goes last may have the advantage if other pickers have been eliminated. To make the game fair, the teacher can alternate the order in which the children are called each time (e.g. front to back, or left to right of the room, or around the room).
Basically, it was a way for the teacher to take a break.
tl;dr
tl;dr?
Then STFU and GTFO.
No one here wants to be reminded how many of their fellow humans have sesame-street level attention spans.
I do!
I got lost at the first sentence.
What is Seven up? Besides the soda…
Its like this:
Everybody (‘Cept Seven) Puts there heads on there desk and there thumbs in the air. Then the lights go off.. And the Seven Guys go around and hit every ones thumbs. If you guess who hit yours,
you get to be part of the Seven and they go sit down. the jo-
ke is that He has swishy pants. so everybody will hear him.
I played this game before as a kid ( like 4 years ago)
What makes this meme so funny is that i know lots of people wont get it
Yes, very funny that people from different cultures don’t know about your game. Explainzors please.

Took 5 seconds to search on lolpedia:

(if you read the rules of the game) the joke is that if he is chosen to walk around and pick the other kids, his pants will make a ton of noise and everyone will know which one he is (ruining it for him).. a very terrible predicament if you’re a kid
Unless, of course, the school uniform required swishy pants, in which case everyone would be equally confused as usual.
But, he makes a raisin-head-expression, showing that he has a problem with the pants.
Don’t they have google in your culture? Seriously, don’t act like everything is so f*cking mysterious.
I think that makes you a hipster.
I don’t think you know what hipster means. Or possibly you just replied to the wrong person.
i remember playin this game, someone comes around and grabs your thumb or somthing and then your allowed to get up and get someone elses thumb..
i forget the point.. but your supposed to be completely silent and the swishypants will totally give you away.
The rules, as far as I can remember them…
there are three or four people who are “it” at once, and everyone else puts their heads down on the desk, and their thumbs up. All of the ppl that are “it” go around and select one person’s thumb to touch… and when everyone has selected one person, the whole class stops, and those that had their thumbs touched get to guess which one of the ppl that are “it” touched their thumb.
if you get it correct, you win, or get to be “it” or something like that.
So yeah, swishy pants will ruin it as ppl will hear when you are near them and know it was you.
but smart kids would just walk past everyone with there thumbs down
-troll face-
well the point of the game is that there are selected people standing up and the others from the class are sitting down, with their heads down so they cant see anything and with their thumbs up. (hence the name ‘heads down thumbs up’)\
The selected people have to go around the class silently and pull one persons thumb. The people whose thumbs were touched have to guess which one touched their thumb.
The point of the game is to be silent and not give yourself away, which makes this meme funny because everyone would hear his swishy pants when he is walking
It’s a game where everyone puts their heads down, thumbs up and seven people go around and push one thumb down. Then they line up in front of the classroom and each student that had a thumb pushed down has to guess who touched it. If they are correct they switch places, if not they stay seated. Swishy pants will make it obvious who touched you.
That sounds actually quite boring to play.
unless you’re thirteen or younger, indeed. but it was a treasure when i was a youngin’.
I remember playing this a few years back. We only liked it because it was an excuse to pinch people as hard as humanly possible.
ha! i did that too! the only problem was i was the ONLY on doing it… >:3
Lawl. I didn’t get it. But still Lawl. I Got it after googlin it. Googl0r is your best0r mat0r.
I can’t believe how many people on here don’t/didn’t know what Seven Up is. I used to play it all the time in elementary school!
happen to me when i was little 100% fail
I loved playing this game!! I would cheat every time tho and never felt sorry about it. I’d check the shoes as they walked by and was able to pick the right person every time.
Yep, head down, nobody can tell your eyes are open and you’re looking at the shoes.
Hahaha! I used to have a swishy cost to go with my swishy pants! XD
I remember the game too. On our birthdays, in what I remember as 1st grade, we would choose a game we wanted to play, and that’s what I chose. ^^
EVERY TIME!! Fuuuu-…!!
Psh. Courage Wolf would just strip off his pants. Problem solved.
Swishypants. LOLOLOLOL
I LOL’ed at the word Swishypants, too!
Haha, I remember that game. I’d always cheat and look at their shoes.
Ahaha me too. xD
Must remember for future.
Hahahaha you guys are crazy for not getting this, I know this feeling exactly!
It’s too bad I didn’t know of the look-at-the-shoes method in elementary school.
I like the little troll face teacher watermark, didn’t see it at first.
Aw, man. That was my favorite game EVER. I wish I could still play it.
OMG I used to LOVE this game. Fond memories, ahoy!
Hahaha we played this in 8th grade english all the time, so much fun!!
Swishy pants are forever in my soul. They’re cool.
It looks like he has a hard-on
Really? I was the only one that noticed the teacher’s Trollface in the last panel on the bottom left?
I thought I was being trolled when I scrolled up to check. Turns out you’re an honest guy. Nice catch.
I remember the first time i played this and I was chosen to be one of the seven. I didn’t understand the game, so because of me, when the teacher called “heads up; seven up”, the whole class stood up.
Giga-GASP! Other people played heads-up seven up!?

I’m not american enough to get this… perhaps if America was to export a little bit of it’s culture via television and movies some time, we might stand a chance.
I LOL’d hard at this!! Best game ever!
In the Czech Republic, they used to play a similar but much more interesting game called “flesh”. You have to guess who struck you on your bare buttocks. Call me when American schools are playing that one.
^win!
just look at their shoes
STORY OF MY LIIIIIIiiiiFEE
if it’s the late 80s/early 90s… wouldn’t everyone be wearing swishy pants? Thus eliminating the troll teacher?
the trick to winning seven up is to memorize who what shoe. then when they walk by and put your thumb down you look at their shoe and remember who wears that shoe. There i just ruined all the challenge in the game! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I was the KING of this game. don’t pick your friends. when you go back up, during the guessing phase, just stare out the window. keep a straight face.
of course, that was only if i could GET up there. since everyone always picks their friends (BAD MOVE), that wasn’t very common for me. forever alone/feelsbadman.jpg
Looked at this for the 495857th time. Just now saw the really dull troll teacher in the last picture. Lol’d.
Can’t touch this!
