There is clever editing right before the dirty band camp reveal. The camera starts slowly zooming in when she’s about to tell her sexy story. Then as soon as Jim realises it’s a dud the camera starts slowly zooming out. Drawing the audience in, then letting you down again. You’ve given up with poor Jim at this point. It’s genius. Then snap cuts into flute and you have a whole theatre making a memory nobody has ever forgot. Genius, low budget, amateur film making.
Was too young to see this movie when it came out (as we’re surely most of my peers) but that didn’t stop us from saying “this one time at band camp” for many years
It’s funny how the shorter term “the Net” never caught on [EDIT: in America, at least], despite apparently being actively pushed in the late ’90s. We say TV, phone, tech… but always Internet. (We do have a short form, but it’s a different word: “online” instead of “on the Internet.”)
Friendly reminder to never quote that to Alyson if you ever meet her. As iconic as it is, it’s not the greatest moment of her career in retrospect and as a mom she finds it incredibly cringe.
Can’t find the clip but she’s stated it quite a few times. It’s about the worse “normal” interaction a fan can have with her.
I always thought alyson hannigan had the weirdest breathing patterns when she delivers her lines in everything she is in. Apparently she’s lived with really bad allergies her whole life so maybe thats the reason.
Freshman year of college they passed out condoms with pictures and jokes on them in my dorms. I got a whole stash of ones with a flute on it saying, “this one time at band camp…”
I was in the school band when this came out… Holy fuck the number of times my mates would say “so one time, at band camp-” whenever I had to head out to practice – Jokes on them they got to enjoy math.
Kids these days will never know…
Huh. I’ve never seen this. I liked the clip!
Alyson Hannigan… The reason why red head fetishes exist
Still one of the best unexpected reveals in any movie
This was a key movie of my youth. I can’t believe how young they look now.
I say “one time, at band camp” in my head every time I watch Penn and Teller: Fool Us to this day
Ooh, this sends me back.
Holy shit she’s gonna be 50 holy shit my birthday is next month
I thought high school would be just like this movie.
It was…significantly more mundane. 😣
She. Was. So. Damn. Cute!
Jim’s dad is top tier in these movies. Dude doesn’t miss lmfao.
There needs to be more Michelle’s out in the world.
Saw this one in the theater with my mom. Awkward af

The quietest high school hallway and party ever recorded.
What’s my name, bitch! Michelle?
I’ve been used. Hey! I’ve been used!
Alyson motherfucking Hannigan was already 25, in words twenty five, in that movie!

Flute player

I remember learning from the DVD commentary that in the screenplay for this movie, every one of Michelle’s lines was punctuated with a question mark.
Nailed it.

They were always a hit.
Natasha Lyonne’s character wearing headphones to a prom with a live band is such a great little visual joke.
