570 Rockys, 1 Wardrobe

The real news

The story, straight

Rocky is a fictional boxer whose training outfit became almost as recognizable as his punches. For this Guinness record, dressing the part was the achievement: participants needed a grey hooded sweatshirt, grey sweatpants, black knit hat and black high-top sneakers.

On November 13, Guinness certified 570 participants gathered at the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps, according to AP. The event celebrated 50 years since the 1976 film.

Guinness required at least 250 people. That was the minimum needed to qualify, not an established previous record.

The certified total was 570.

The wonderfully ridiculous part: this boxing achievement depended on wardrobe coordination, not fighting ability. Imagine training for those stairs, then discovering your shoes were the final boss.

Our visual joke puts Lil'meme at the steps, desperately wedging his blue shoes into black high-tops. Rocket power cannot negotiate a dress code.

After confirmation, the participants ran up the stairs for a group photo. The useful lesson: a shared film can give people something to do together, rather than another thing to argue about online.
