Ever since the Minecraft movie came out, people have been quoting random lines from it. It’s not just middle schoolers either—across the country, the police have had to step in to regain control of theaters because people are going wild over these quotes. In fact, someone in Florida even brought a live chicken to a theater just to throw it in the air for the quote “chicken jockey.” So, why exactly are people saying these quotes, and which one is the most popular? In this article, we’ll cover all of that and come to a complete conclusion. First, let’s take a look at some of the quotes that are being said.
Flint & Steel
The Nether
As a child, I yearned for the mines
Coming in hot
Diamond armor, full set
Chicken jockey
The villagers love Crushen Loaf
L L L Lava ch ch ch chicken
Water bucket release
This is a crafting table
First we mine, then we craft Minecraft.
First off, we checked the internet and found that, from an AI standpoint, “First we mine, then we craft” is the most quoted and loved line. Next, we looked into why people are quoting these lines so much. According to Google, people are quoting lines from the Minecraft movie, especially the line “Chicken Jockey,” due to a viral trend of enthusiastic reactions during screenings. Some people find it disruptive and annoying, while others are enjoying the collective excitement and embracing the trend.
So, if that’s what Google has to say, let’s ask people themselves. One person said that people quote these lines because it’s a popular movie, and their favorite quote is “The villagers love Crushen Loaf.” Another person mentioned that the movie is so quotable, and it’s easy to create memes out of the lines. Their favorite quote? “Chicken Jockey.” This particular quote seems to be the most disruptive in theaters—and has even led to the police getting involved! (Yikes.)
We asked one final person their thoughts on why people say these quotes, and they mentioned that back when the first trailer came out, Jack Black as Steve received a lot of backlash and went viral. The same thing happened with the line, “As a child, I yearned for the mines,” which references a post someone made online: “In 1920, we took children out of the coal mines. In 2020, the most popular video game on the market is Minecraft. The children yearn for the mines.”
As for my favorite quotes, it’s either “This is a crafting table” or “Flint & Steel.” The “crafting table” quote is funny because the character seems to have whiplash while saying it. And “Flint & Steel” holds a special memory for me—I once accidentally crafted flint and steel in the game and thought it would be hilarious to burn down my friend Flynn’s house.
Well, that’s all for now!
