New York city—the pulse, the beat, the drive...

And then, of course, the total and complete cynicism of every single person who lives inside the tightly packed urban center.

One newly engaged woman experienced a true NYC moment for the history books.

She encountered a cynicism so deep it could do nothing but answer her happiness with an immediate negation.

The nicest city ♥️✨ #newyork #engaged #engaged #newyorkchristmas #fiance #funny #nyc #k18hairflip



TikToker Bailey Kenworthy (@baykenz) yelled out the window, "I'm engaged, New York!" and was swiftly met with a passerby's response of "SHUT THE F**K UP."

As the room took a moment to collect itself after the perfectly timed moment, Kenworthy turned to the camera with a little hair flip and said "I just love it here."

TikTokers were amused by the video because of how in-keeping it is with New York city's reputation.

But some people noted the video's similarity to other moments from pop culture.

Some said it invoked the end scene from How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days, while others noted Monica Geller from Friends' moment announcing her engagement to Chandler.

The moment was so perfect the video has amassed over 2.8 million views and 438,000 likes.

“I love that my video is blowing up,” said Kenworthy to the New York Post.

Kenworthy works as a patient service specialist for the University of Texas Medical Branch’s Coronavirus Disease 2019 unit.

She was visiting NYC over the holiday when her happy moment happened.

“I enjoy when others laugh at my jokes.”

Kenworthy said she didn't regret shouting her announcement out the window, despite the less than enthusiastic response.

“I just love it here, [it] was my whole vibe the entire week we spent in NYC, no matter how non-friendly anyone acted.”

Kenworthy and her fiancé plan to marry in November, pandemic permitting.

Jimmy Kimmel And Stephen Colbert Unload On Trump In Rare Crossover Event As Guests On Each Other's Shows

Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert were each other's guests in a special crossover event on Tuesday and took the opportunity to call out "son of a b*tch" President Donald Trump, who has used his influence in attempts to silence them for criticizing him and his MAGA movement on the air.

Last week, ABC announced it would end its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! just a week after Trump pushed to get host Jimmy Kimmel off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ABC had had internal discussions with Disney, which saw a wave of subscriber cancellations in the wake of Kimmel's suspension.

Ted Cruz Clashes With 'Crazy' MTG Over Her Cryptic Post Alluding That 'The Jews' Are Trying To Kill Her

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
