Why do necklaces come off so easily in movies? | Chris & Jack
The zombies are closing in! Oh the horror! But there may be just enough time to take a sentimental moment and hand over an emotionally significant necklace. Can they manage it? Or will the Last of Us be found 28 Years Later still holding it in Zombieland? …Dawn of the dead?

We’re Chris W. Smith and Jack De Sena (aka Chris & Jack). We’ve been friends for years and love making high-quality, high-concept sketch comedy. Chris is an occasional Blue Man in Blue Man Group. As a voice actor, Jack played Sokka in Avatar the Last Airbender and Callum in the Dragon Prince. In 2016 we united to create this channel, confusingly titled “Chris & Jack”, which has served as a shared platform to write, produce, direct, edit, and star in our own stuff. We’re releasing comedic sketches of all shapes and sizes. Sci-Fi, Heists, animation, movie tropes, absurdist bits, and plenty of fun new experiments. But above all else, friendship.
A huge thank you to all our Patrons, including our “Producer Tier” friends:
DJ Smu-Mu
Steve Mould
We love you!

I think this comes from movie makers seeing people pulling dog tags off…. but they are made to be pulled off.

That remind me of one time I was with a thin necklace and a strand of my hair got stuck on it. I pulled it. The necklace came WITH the hair. I didn’t know if I should feel proud of my hair or disappointed on the necklace, that shit was a gold necklace and now… I guess I have a gold… thread? Idk. It’s sitting somewhere on my wardrobe until I lose it and it will be seated somewhere in the universe

OH! Finally someone mentioned it !!!
But most important (and you forgot this part), even when they have chains and locks, the characters are usually able to put them back, like they're not broken anymore.

This is the first video I've watched from this channel and it so perfectly scratched the itch from an annoying movie trope that I didnt realize I had. I'm about to watch your entire catalog.

I remember watching Pirates of the Caribbean and Jack Sparrow escapes with his hands in shackles and he slides down some rope with his hand shackles. He puts his shackles through the rope, slides down, and then takes them out of the rope. And even as a kid at the theater I was like "wait a minute…………….physics doesn't work like that!"

I just started playing The Alters (10 out of 10 game from the developers of frostpunk) and you can watch movies in the game and the movies are SKETCHES BY CHRISANDJACK?!?!?!?!?! What an awesome surprise. Really happy to see good creators get platformed. GG.

ALSO, real pearl necklaces (and most fake ones) have knots tied between EVERY PEARL, specifically to prevent pearls from spilling everywhere if/when the necklace is broken or cut — but in movies, individual pearls just go flying everywhere! Very unrealistic. 😛

I… I tugged off my necklace while watching this. (I put the charm in my index finger and kept thumb on top, then kept my other fingers in a fist and tugged with a little effort)

I truly jumped at the zombie part. Scared.

0:56 Adding an abrupt flashback for something that happened 30 seconds is comedic genius

I remember when I was a teenager and I had just started my wearing a necklace phase. One day I went to take it off to show a friend, and without even thinking I gave it a tug like I'd always seen in movies, and all it did was yank my neck out of whack mid sentence. I then had to slowly undo the strap, shamefully realizing that movies have simply lied about how jewelry works.
It really bugs me that movies and shows do this so constantly. Like is this trope an artifact of old jewelry straps that commonly had a quick release? If so, why don't modern necklaces have quick releases? Or, did lazy writers just lie to make heist scenes and emotional moments easier to write?

Is that necklace a 5kr coin attached to rope?😅

August 21, 2025 at 1:52 am
Bro I always hated how they would pull this with CHAINED necklaces, and they’re always really important necklaces like “ah yes my mother’s necklace she gave me on her deathbed, I will now just break this PRICELESS OBJECT”

I feel like they were initially trying to film a skit about a zombie apocalypse involving a necklace but then the necklace got stuck and someone was like "Holy shit I have an even better idea"
@MRSupernova100

As someone who knows how to tie a necklace so it can be snapped off like that with the correct amount of force, it's all in ONE side of the knot. Weaken both sides, and it snaps off by snagging on clothes and cannot be slept with. Do it to neither side, and it won't snap off when you want it. Also, it depends on the type of string, and how worn / damaged it is.

Why is nobody talking about how the clasp would break?? I've seen movies where they do it with a metal chain and the clasp is fine.

Just two bros. Tugging off for each other.

Bro, I tried to pull my necklace off because I wanted to see for myself. It fell right off😭 I broke the clasp on it. This is the only chan that fits the gem😭
