The dominant emotion is irony towards a failed attempt to modernize an untouchable cult classic.
Where does the “ABC's Dirty Dancing Remake” meme come from?
The media origin lies in the musical TV movie produced by ABC, aired on May 24, 2017. This remake of the 1987 iconic film starred Abigail Breslin (Baby), Colt Prattes (Johnny), and Nicole Scherzinger (Penny). Rather than an independent video, the phenomenon came directly from the program itself. The key platform was Twitter, where viewers commented on and mocked the film live during its initial broadcast. On May 24, 2017, users like @camacho_gen, @MichaelAusiello, and @bibble8gubbles posted scathing critiques. They specifically mocked the acting, choreography, and the famous final lift scene, deemed far inferior to the original. These immediate reactions transformed the television broadcast into a viral object of ridicule.
