Fun With Shorts: You and Your Family

[Oppeldeldoc1]

Every time I hear the narrator say "Bill and George" I think "Anyone but Sue!"

Thank you, Johnny Cash.

Nice job smacking into the table at 12:45 in the morning! I've come home drunk at 3 in the morning, and made it into my bedroom without waking anyone else!

It is interesting that a film that advocates open communication still has all the family members slotted into very archetypal roles. Generally speaking it wouldn't be until a generation or so down the line where parents began to effectively communicate with their children taking into stock their opinions and understanding that they could learn from them as well.

[jldraw]

Mary is kind of cute. Too bad she'd be in her mid eighties by now.

[randy95023]

As a child of the 50's what was strange, looking back, was that all these Sociology films were made and taken seriously. I was much older before I realized that most of the middle aged men in my life had been fighting in WW2 just a few years earlier. Those nightmares of burning "Japs" with flamethrowers and driving Tanks across the Rhine meant MILLIONS of American men had bad PTSD and alcohol problems. Oh yeah, the Nuclear threat loomed large. YIPEE!!!

5:03 "Here's another way." Apparently Bill's testicles have descended.

[thefaboloussob]

1:15 Wuss.

1:55 Pushovers.

[unfriendlyalberta]

2:13 to 2:18 MARY LANGUAGE, i fuken almost died hahahahahha

[YaoiHuntressEarth]

I prefer the fifth way...

Mary: I'm sure these photos with you and mom with that Mexican gardner will change your mind.

[ihatetaft]

"Mom, why are you 70?" LOL

[45gunner]

20yr NAVY Veteran here LMAO!..."what should happen when an invitation is recieved by telephone or otherwise?"...you know like semaphore or aldis lamp!...LMAO!!!

[ShadesofScorpius]

AWESOME! Love all your stuff!

[TomSFox]

"Oh oh! Father's awake! He slept on the landing!"

[sluegey]

Hey man, this is one of your best! "...and I've been lusting a lot." Two little robots couldn't hurt, but you do darn well on your own, keep it up!

Do you think of the comments on the spot, or write them down after watching it a few times, then record the commentary?

[withoutasong]

There's another way...the Chicago way lol

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

No friends 'till you're 30!

[Timewap]

lol, edited for content.

[smartbunny]

I forgot all about that Champion Says YESSS guy!

[dream6cold6code6]

only in the 50's would the excuse "I would help but I got to read my newspaper instead" hahaha XD

[needles1987]

"How's Dweezil and Moon unit?"

Frank Zappa. Nice!

[Steeple333]

What's the riff at 1:05? I've listened to it thrice and feel I should get it, but I don't. =(

[romeorhino]

"Speaking personally, I'd annex the Sudetenland." It's Monty Python line (and a reference to post-WWI Europe).

[Steeple333]

Oh, right! Thanks.

[ladynovembre]

"Did I mention he's high?" XD BEST. LINE. EVAR.

[dfirest1]

Play the radio, dance, and make sandwiches? Good God! That is what I do on Saturdays!

"Some of the fellas are waiting for me down on the corner" Must be a fun town!

I like that they live in a house with a table directly in front of the stairs. Blue Cross must love them!

He has a friend called "Skinny?"

[dfirest1]

BTW does anyone else besides myself think that it's kinda odd that the dad is named "Father Johnson" in this movie?

[bas1010]

Great riffing Josh, as always. It looks like the 1940's though, not the 1950's.

[romeorhino]

It was '46, to be exact. But "the 40s" didn't sound right.

[AbbeyNormal]

Yay! You're the best!

[alwrig]

Father should have belted Bill in that one scene where he's all "I'll do what I want!"

[bas1010]

Yeah I pretty much think we've all been there on that one...

[FEnM]

Yay, more stuff from Josh!

Man, the dinner scene... what a nice family. d-:

And while it was nice of George to help mom, it would be nice if he didn't whine about it so much. Sheesh.

[Kahran042]

What kind of kid talks like that, anyway?

[bas1010]

One who's in his 60's now?

[ResettisReplicas]

Kids who know how to play their parents, guess who just became,e the favorite child.

[heisanevilgenius]

Great work, man. :D

I loved the "I'm going downstairs" line.

[blugreen123]

*Gasp* A new "fun with shorts" I'm gonna cry with happiness!'

the father is a d-bag in the dinner scene!

It's interesting and refreshingly frank that the mom asks her husband to help with dishes "for a change"

[MariomanProductions]

Another great short.

I'd buy the DVD, If I had money.

[romeorhino]

Just noticed the audio is a bit quiet. I fixed it in the source file and DVD export, but I don't think I'll bother to re-upload it. I think it's OK for YT.

[Megatenist]

Great to see you're back!

5/5 as usual

[romeorhino]

Thanks, everybody! I have another new short coming. Should be up this weekend.

[blugreen123]

Woo Hoo!!!!!!

[RozRuss]

YAY!! :))

[FEnM]

Two shorts in the space of a week?! And my birthday's not till April!

[Kahran042]

Hey, my birthday isn't 'till July!

[KDANTEATER]

He was with a gang? Wow, he was brutally honest!

[bawoman]

So glad to see these again!

Anyway,at least this family was a litle bit more realistic than the "Date with your family"bunch.

[RozRuss]

Great to see these again! Always love them! :)

[taigakirdape]

These questions are too opened-ended. I need structure!

Ahem, also, good work Josh.

[TomSFox]

OMFG! ANOTHER SHORT!!!

[Sgrubb1S]

Ah, always good to see these videos.

[DarkMario2]

"Mom, whay are you seventy?"

"PeeWee Herman, the rebellious years!"

"Raised as a girl until age 9."

Hilarious and well worth the wait.

Thank you.
