Fun With Shorts: Word to the Wives

[Vinnieification]

You are hilarious!

[yomie100]

5:37 .....Maybe if he moved his arm away from the front of the cabinet doors he could open them :o)

[n0iwont]

Why has she got a posie pinned under her chin ?

[tomservo56954]

If this guy couldn't handle an ice tray or kitchen cabinet, how did Carl Kolchek EVER defeat all those supernatural forces?

[VulcanTrekkie45]

What is it with Americans hating anything that's more than five years old? My house is 150 years old, and I'm proud of it!

[tomservo56954]

@VulcanTrekkie45 Read John Keats' book THE CRACK IN THE PICTURE WINDOW to get a sense of how people in the 50's disdained anything, including houses, that wasn't brand new.

[VulcanTrekkie45]

@tomservo56954 True. Though I live in New England, so even in the 50s we tended to recycle older buildings.

[tomservo56954]

@VulcanTrekkie45 I do as well...also check out THE ORGANIZATION MAN--there's a section on how Newburyport residents felt their city was a little too old-fashioned and dowdy for the new era (and of course I know they would make their history an asset).

[VulcanTrekkie45]

@tomservo56954 I love Newburyport! I was just in a play there.

[ngobleus]

At about 5:40 I expected to hear: "Great.  I stapled my own arm to the cabinet..."

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

6:01 Did he just get the cupboard open by hammering the breadbox?!??

[ilikethecoke]

lol he should have been yelling "That blasted cupboard, dad gummit, schtickle fiper!"

[MysterySTForever]

"Hey, I almost forgot the big news."

"My house is great."

"I broke fifty for the first time on nine holes."

"I sure hope she's talking about golf."

HAHA

[animalandvtlover]

"one word for it brown" lol

[Jcolinsol]

Yeah, it's got Darren McGavin, but it needs more Dick Miller.

[MegaLink117]

that entire era was FUCKING CREEPY

[pdlbean]

dude, that really is the dad from A Christmas Story!

[hershbep]

Hey, Josh! I think that your delivery is awesome! Kudos!

[YaoiHuntressEarth]

Imange the breakdown if her kitchen were to burn to the ground.

[smellincoffee]

"You open it, and close it. Got that, George? Open....close."

[rowsdowr2]

Normally I turn my nose up at MST 3K style commentaries apart from the original, but I am impressed by what you've done here. Excellent work. Keep it up.

[orgixvi3]

I look at these ladies and I just think of that poster that says: "When I was a little girl I was a tomboy; now I'm a full blown lesbian!"

[nekozombie0]

Goth makeup FTW...Goth chicks of the 50s untie...I mean unite...Shut up*Shifty eyes*

[CookieTacoYummy]

SO whats this about?

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

Special Guest Star: Joan Crawford.

[tsnoopy76]

I love Darren McGavin!! The only thing that could have made this short better was a leg lamp lol.

[Newtwist75]

Its not a lamp its a major award!

[tsnoopy76]

Lol! Yes, you're right!!

[nekozombie0]

@tsnoopy76 How did you not see the leglamp...It was a major award ya know...It's a sin not to see it

[ARbenSRbarGR]

Yay Darren McGavin!! Don't ya just love how since they can't get the cupboard to stick on purpose, he had to hold it shut with one arm while banging and yanking on it with the other? rofl

[Newtwist75]

Keep him away from the @#*&# furnace $))#$*@

[asherhawke]

2:15 If she is so 'swamped' how the hell does she have time to sit and drink coffee?!?

[scuttlebug14]

" I remember seeing this washer in a magazine.."

"something about a recall,Fires or something,"

LMAO

[Newtwist75]

Oh fiddle faddle...thats commie talk!

[ShyriaDracnoir]

Yeesh, this makes me want to chuck a burnind trash can through a Victoria's Secret storefront and punch Martha Stewart and Dear Abby in the solar plexus (plexuses? plexii? Whatever, I just need to punch something)

[tbikape]

try the tree outside....

[lobsterthecannibal]

"It wasn't a plot against George..."

"It was more of a series of plots."

hahahaha

[DarkeRaven09]

romerorhino - You're so blissfully honest (yet it's still good work)... go team up with the guy who did the iriff-ing of Batman the Animated Series : The Grey Ghost... that'd make three people... or two people with one guy suffering from MPD...

[constansavictrix]

... that senseless useless insane louvre door....it was so stupid of the set makers it's infuriating... meant to be the experts...in fact that whole senseless useless insane movie

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

Who left the upstairs horn section on?

[BaronVonBlixberg]

"The least practical door ever!" ROFL

It's hard to believe George was the rough and tough PI Mike Hammer! LOL Any chance of uploading this complete and uncut, with the original audio?

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

Why did he put an arm in front of the cupboard he's TRYING TO OPEN?

I have one word for this short (sans commentary, of course): Sexist. Oh, and another one: Appalling.

[romeorhino]

MST wasn't ad-libbed. It was scripted by a team of writers. They just had better delivery than I.

Thanks for watching.

[nekozombie0]

@romeorhino I think your great Rhino I'm a big fan I just keep making new accounts XD I get bored ya know

[JohnnyCxviii]

@romeorhino I think you do a great job, and I'm a dyed-in-the-wool MSTer. I loved your Fun With Short "What About Drinking"--good stuff.

[JohnnyCxviii]

@romeorhino Josh, don't put yourself down. You're damn good. I love your stuff. And I love MST3K's stuff too. It's all great.

[BrennaG03]

@romeorhino Wait.....this isn't professional? I thought this was another MSTK video. You just ad-libbed? You're actually hilarious. And have a good 'radio voice' ! haha.

[kraftmacandcheese]

Much too scripted. MST3K rocks because of the ad-lib.

[thriwren]

That was not ab-libbed. They spent many of many days watching the movies and practacing their lines. I guess you never seen the making of shows they did or had a tour of their studio or read the book(s).

[JeffHayesOnline]

"Nothing delights George more than being abushed by a sales scheme!"

[StuH42]

If George wants to open a cupboard, perhaps he should't put his other fucking arm in front of it. How dumb is this?

[voidenter]

haha wow. funny shit!

[blugreen123]

why did this short have to be edited for time, but others are 15 or 20 minutes?

he can't even open a cabinet...pathetic

the "wacky music" comment was funny!

[randy95023]

This might explain why so many housewives drink Vodka in the afternoons...

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

Even back then people blamed it all on Bush!

Freedom from colours like green and blue!

[insanedemonspaz]

I don't understand if this is insulting men with their inability to do anything or women, who have this attitude about their kitchen.

[Zekkron]

Looks like both.

[ripvain]

I listened to the scene at 5:30 while reading the dialogue by Baibiheart. I totally love this scene now. =3

[Alexsy82]

"aren;t you gonna degrade or emasculate me in some way?"

[insanedemonspaz]

You know your life is going down the toilet when the most exciting thing is getting a new dishwasher.

[needles1987]

Where's the Bumpus hounds?

[Oppledeldoc]

That's what I was thinking. I kept expecting him to cut loose with those made-up cuss words from the movie.

[fdragon010]

What was he yelling at on 5:30? Does he have a mental problem?

[baibiheart]

It sounds something like "Jimmy, did you really have to take a bath at this time of day! I can't get a drop of hot water in this thing and I got a stack of dishes a mile high! I'm gonna be down here til midnight, what's the matter with ya?!"

[vlcupper]

Wow, I thought this would be horrible, but dude's actually funny.

[AntoineDCoolette]

WHO LEFT THE UPSTAIRS HORN SECTION ON?

LOL That's exactly what I thought when I saw it!!

[PensieveScholar]

Did I tell you about my kitchen's work with orphans?

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

Er, is that Darren McGavin?????

[oromethehuntsman]

Yes. Yes, it is.

[parttimeuser]

Goddam Sons-a-bitches!!! Bumpuses!!!!!

[ElveeKaye]

Sepia tone? This is more like beige tone!

"The brown dress again, honey?"

"Yes. The brown suit again, dear?"

"Yep. Can't seem to find any other colors, for some reason."

Wait! I wanna know more about the automatic flour dispenser!

[mattymcmattmatt3]

romeorhino, you've done it again you marvelous bastard

[winched]

Don't call him a bastard! LOL!

[TheStoryWriter]

I can't believe how wives were supposed to be so obsessed and satisfied with their KITCHENS back in the fifties! Ladies, how about freedom to get birth control and assert ourselves as human beings, not Stepford wives?!

[Rizza2k4]

he's probably still trying to get that dang cupboard open

[Keighvin1]

And I can't believe no one else was excited to see the dad from Christmas Story.

[DarkMario2]

Woah... It is!

[Keighvin1]

Penalty flag on the short for improper use of wacky music. Ten yards.

[Tareltonlives]

How much does the terrible color palette count for?

[Keighvin1]

5 yards, but it's canceled out by the Dad from "A Christmas Story"

[Steeple333]

Lake Woebegone! Yay! >w< [insert fangirlish squees here]. Love that radio program...

Did that sign at the end say "solo"? O_o

[GirlParts]

Very funny.

Although I was really hoping for a comment pertaining to the Bumpeses.

[snakes3425]

Who is this guy Homer Simpson

[srmcd1]

Dude, do Thomas the Tank Engine! I'd love to see what you could do with that!

[Stormwysper]

He's stupider then the guy who keeps greenlighting Rob Schneider movies.

That made me spray coffee all over my keyboard.

[romeorhino]

He's me. Unfortunately the username was taken.

[MoshMasterD]

Who is Josh Way?

[BlackNRA]

"I been tied to the tree for 9 hours" LOL!!

[romeorhino]

Thanks for watching, folks - more to come!

FYI - I had to cut a few minutes from this one to fit it on YouTube. I've applied for a directors account, so hopefully I'll be able to post the uncut versions of these soon.

[MSTJedi]

That 'll be cool. Read on your site that you're planning to make a DVD of these. Great idea. Really good work on the commentary.

[AbbeyNormal]

Only one word describes it... "Brown".

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

"Even back then, we blamed everything on Bush". LOL nice!

"Something about a recall. Fires, or something" ROFL

Damn, you're really good at this!!
