Little things about the “Did I Mention” scene that make me stupidly happy:
Ben snatching the microphone away from the announcer
Ben genuinely looks like he has no idea what he’s doing at the beginning
literally no one but Audrey is surprised by Ben spelling Mal’s name and half the audience awww’s because they think it’s adorable
Evie participates in spelling Mal’s name
Evie being hyped, while Mal’s just traumatized
Mal’s “I brought this on myself” reaction faces
Ben literally falling to his knees and rolling around on the ground like the adorable puppy he is
Carlos just shrugging after he and Jay have to pull Ben back to his feet
Evie grabbing Mal’s arm and sings in her face
a third of the choreography is just the entire tourney team pelvic thrusting
Ben blowing a kiss to Mal
Mal’s little gasp after the team throws Ben in the air
Ben wolf-howling throughout the song
Ben starts stripping and the entire team just points at Mal in the bleachers like this is no big deal
the fact that other girls actually try to catch Ben’s jersey
Mal’s smile after she catches Ben’s jersey
Jane is the knight mascot
Ben jumping onto two people in a horse costume
the team catching Ben after he slides off the horse mascot
the cheer squad boys throwing their future king into the stands
Ben crowd-surfing over to Mal
Mal attempting to run away the second she realizes what he’s doing
Evie physically stopping her from leaving and turning her around to face the mess she has created
Mal using Ben’s jersey as a shield when he tries to kiss her
Ben immediately pulling her into a one-armed hug after she doesn’t let him kiss her
“I love you, Mal! Did I mention that?” Yes, Ben, yes you did
Mal clinging to Ben’s jersey for dear life
the abrupt cheerfulness of “Chad’s my boyfriend now!”
Audrey and Chad sharing the only actual kiss in the entire movie
Ben snatching the mic out of Audrey’s hand
Ben loudly yelling “Mal! Will you go to the coronation with me!?" even though Mal is literally standing right next to him
Mal shouting "Yes!” just as loudly into the microphone
Ben excitedly shouting “She said yes!” even though everyone obviously heard her
Lonnie being super excited for them
Ben still tries to hold onto Mal’s hand as he walks away
Mal holding Ben’s jersey up to her chest after Ben leaves
the fact that literally no one acts at all put off or confused by the fact that their future king just performed an entire impromptu dance number dedicated to someone who is not his girlfriend
