Adam Sandler Has Hilarious Reaction To Learning He Inspired 'Madam Sandler' Look For Gen Z

The 'SNL' alum seemed caught off guard after 'People' magazine informed him that he's actually a Gen Z style icon—and that he even has a look named after him.

Adam Sandler just learned that his style is an inspiration for Gen Z, and his hysterical reaction is everything.

Everyone, including the actor himself, knows Sandler has a style. His name has practically become synonymous with extra long athletic shorts.


You can almost always expect him to show up anywhere sporting a printed polo, below-the-knee shorts, crew socks and sneakers.

Sandler is completely aware of the way others perceive his extreme athleisure look, too.

He's made mention of the disdain his daughters have for his go-to getup, and Jennifer Aniston has even called out his less-than-tailored red carpet appearances.

Not that it makes any difference to him.

But what the Grown Ups co-writer and star didn't realize, however, is that his look has inspired an entire generation.

Yes, this look.


While speaking with People at a premiere for his new Netflix special Love You, Sandler was asked if he was aware of his style icon status.

The SNL alum, sporting the classier long track pants variation of his look, responded:

"You know, this is an accidental thing but here I am wearing goofy clothes and...I don't know."
"I don't think about it but I appreciate you sayin' that."

But then the interviewer clarified that a whole generation aspires to achieve his fashion vibe, enlightening him on the "Madam Sandler" movement and explaining the long shorts and small crop top craze.

Unable to contain a Sandler-esque full belly laugh, he replied:

"A crop top I used to wear when I was young."
"I used to wear the half-shirt. Now, it would not be great for anybody."
"I get it, comfortable — that sounds like a good outfit."

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
