Right before Thanksgiving, this Florida rapper Plies drops a hilarious video laying down the law for anyone coming to his holiday get-together. It’s going viral all over social media posted by that hip-hop page @mymixtapezon X, it has already reached over 3.1 million views since November 22, 2025. If you are from the U.S., you feel me. Thanksgiving is that crazy combination of great food, family drama, and just those really awkward moments nobody ever acknowledges exist. And then Plies just nails it, making all that chaos straight-up comedy gold.
A tweet from X.
The clip started as a repost from Plies himself and spread like wildfire to Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, picking up more than 78,000 likes and a ton of shares. It’s super low-key shot vertical on a phone, with him chilling on a dark couch in a beige room, rocking a black graphic tee. He stares right at the camera, waving his hands around, and rattles off these four rules in that slow Southern drawl of his.
First off, he says,
“Aight look, I’ma give y’all four rules for Thanksgiving, listen to me. Rule number one: one to-go plate. That’s it. One. Don’t come back askin’ for no second, third, fourth plate take that one plate and go sit yo’ ass down somewhere.”
Boom, no stacking up foil-wrapped mountains of leftovers. He’s basically calling out the folks who clean out the fridge like it’s their last meal.
Then, rule two:
“Uncles, leave that strong-ass cologne in the car or at the house. We don’t need that shit burnin’ nobody nostrils when you walk through the door.”
Ha, we’ve all been there some relative shows up smelling like they bathed in Axe, and suddenly the whole room’s got a headache.
Rule three:
“If you ain’t been talkin’ to that person 30 days or longer, leave they ass at home. We don’t know them people. Don’t bring no strangers up in here.”
Smart move no random plus-ones crashing the party and stirring up weird vibes. Keep it to the folks we actually recognize.
And wrapping it up with rule four:
“If you can’t handle your liquor, don’t drink it. Period. We ain’t got time for you to be up here actin’ a fool, cryin’, fightin’, throwin’ up on my carpet.”
He ends with,
“Follow them four rules, we gon’ have a good Thanksgiving. If not… stay yo’ ass at home.”
Look, this isn’t based on some real blow-up at his house; it’s just Plies being funny, scripting it for the laughs. In America, Thanksgiving’s all about piling plates with turkey and sides, squeezing in with extended family, and hoping nobody starts a fight over politics. Plies is riffing on those Black family vibes but it hits for everybody especially with food prices through the roof, nobody wants guests hogging everything like it’s free.
Plies real name Algernod Lanier Washington is from Fort Myers, Florida, and blew up back in 2007 with tracks like “Bust It Baby.” These days, since around 2016, he’s all about that funny commentary online, and his Thanksgiving bits have become this yearly thing fans wait for.
Stuff like this shows how social media’s changed holidays, right? It’s easier to set boundaries now, mixing old traditions with
“nah, not in my house”
Energy. Especially this year with money tight, his rules are a reminder to host smart keep the fun going without turning it into a disaster.
