Duck and Cover

[Adult0Swims]

If U actually do this u r stupid xD

Ull just vaporize in the ground.



[Pucadupr]

Lol poor kids "Yeah kids learn how to survive a Nuclear Bomb that can smash your house and throw you against a tree... BUT if you duck and cover you become unbreakable"

[C3POROBOT1]

I prefer to duck and masturbate.

[ZMugg1]

Bert has the right idea. Not everybody has access to a lead-lined refrigerator.

[kannabiz420]

i do druggggs

[cynvid49]

why does that monkey want to kill that poor turtle?

[BigAndTall666]

"A dangerous bomb", that´s a new one!!! :-D

[catguy43]

Because lowering your body height makes you invincible.

[iandhr]

duck and cover the best protection from Nuclear Holocaust (sarcasm)

[SuperBunkerbuster]

Watch out li'l american turtle, Unc' Stalin is coming to bomb you !

[NickB1967]

Believe it or not, civil defense in the 1950's was less irrational than it seems now. The only way to deliver atom bombs back then was the bomber, and the Soviets had prop-driven "Bear" bombers, which would take many hours to get to the USA and most were quite likely to be shot down beforehand. So it was possible that few enough bombs would hit the USA to make Civil Defense realistic. The era of hundreds of 1/2 hour ICBMs, which made civil defense pointless, did not begin until the mid 1960s.

[richievegas01]

@NickB1967 Unless of course Major Kong was piloting one of the planes... He'd make sure the job was done! "Yee harrrr!"

[hhammer307]

finally some helpful info from Unc_Sam...

[toadsEATbugs]

that song is really catchy

[sjcawood]

haha, it was made in the 50's what do you expect?

haha i think its pretty awesome

[gopconservative78]

@sjcawood no Negroes...ah the 50s! So much better than now

[gamerkid1177]

suicide monkey bomber?

[ThemOldaBoys]

They just told kids to do this because when you died, you could protect your jaw bone so you could be identified by the police.

[Hitachi007]

suicidal monkey??? What the crap? lol

[climaxingwalrus]

oh man we have a ton of geniuses down here in the youtube comments lol

[datahop]

So pathetic

[extremeeXrement1]

try that in real life and see what happens

[cronin098]

rofl I want someone to autotune this.

[sonicrowan]

monkey with dynamite

[living0history]

Does anyone see the parallels between the Cold War and the "War on Terror"? They are similar psychological operations on the people run by the same elites!

[amtaro78]

hi i'm alex, a pupil of a french classe, near paris. We saw the video in spé-english class. And we were so stupefied! I hope people who say 'it was so funy, we laughed so much" are kidding! I'm reading your "commentaire" to help me for my homework ^^ so thks

[blowbubble22]

i showed my grandma this video she remembers it

[jamesykt69]

thats right, because if a atomic bomb were to hit near by, and you duck under a table, you'll be ok. jesus, there would be no building left let alone a table. well saying they tought this to kids, no one else would believe such poor advice. well, at least no one with half a brain

[CrazyRodeoGirl]

Yeah, we watched this in my social class, and that was the same thing we all thought - the whole thing was just to make kids feel safe. No one at that age (or really a lot of people) knew how A-bombs worked. They just aired this to keep them calm - doesn't really matter what you do when the bomb hits, you're gonna die anyway. Well, actually, it might help if you're far enough away, but still.

[starrbeatlesqueen]

I saw this in my college history class last year. It was kind of cute...and silly.

[marksmanm16]

bad luck we dont carry a stupid caparace on or backs

[Ntone606]

Remember kids, Duck & Vapourise.

[OnePeopleOneChina]

One trillion dollars each year is spent on propaganda to scare the American people into agreeing to fund an ever expanding military industrial complex. US economy relied upon having an enemy! Now American troops are in over 150 countries worldwide. Who is the evil one today?

[Th3ykill3dK3nny]

thats a lie

[caliriot16]

We had to watch this video in class and my whole class started singing the song! LoL!!!!!

[venom2603]

All you are doing is making an early grave for yourself.

[dream6cold6code6]

Well not even the military or civil defense really knew the awesome power of the atomic bomb, they could only contemplate theories of how it would turn out if it struck a city, so you do have to understand there ignorance and not see it as insults from the civil defense corps. The magnitude of heat coming from the bright flash would emulate people into ashes so the flash alone would kill you, then the explosion eradicates the city, just check out Hiroshima video's

[12timesadayman]

we watched it too. Watch our for those commies

[lauurenn07]

Yes, I Do Believe The Monkey Was An Euphenism For Communism. Of Course You Wouldn't Survive A 250 Decibel Pressure Wave Under A WOODEN Desk... But The Children Did Not Know That. REMEMBER PEOPLE...This Video Was Made For CHILDREN Not ADULTS. This Video Gave A Sense Of HOPE!! DUH! Fuckin Morons.

[skrinkles3]

lmao i love how everythings flying in the air and berts just fine and dandy

[SparksShow]

we juss watched this in history class today lmao

[kristanemo]

I'm still wondering if the monkey was a euphemism for communism...I seems to work in this way. This is NOT stupid; Quentin is right. The Second Red Scare threw every US citizen into a panic about communism, the Soviet Union, and Nuclear bombs. The full effects of a nuclear bomb was not know at the time of the bombings of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. When Truman used the Manhattan Project without warning, the USSR and the US flew into an arms race.

[BroadCastTuber]

This video is BULL!

You think duck and cover would save your ass from a fucken atomic bomb!?!!!

[QuentinGaraque]

What's most amusing is that all of you have completely missed the point of why this existed.

Of course most rational individuals knew that the bomb would melt your face off.

Children, however, did not. This was designed to give children a sense of empowerment in a situation that no one could control. It made them feel safer and thus created a calmer environment.

It's better then having everyone wandering about hopeless and in despair like a bunch of emo's.

[tayonotsubasa]

IT was also to avoid chaos all over the country.

[FuckUSAEmpire]

And remember kids, stay on drugs and say no to school.

[DarknessInside12]

Lol same here. we just watched this in my history class. LOL!

[majezaaax3]

HAHAHA we watched this in history the other day, oh man, this is priceless.

[RDone37]

so did we lol

[dogfin100]

we watched this in school today and we were laughing so hard its so stupid!

[pbrennan]

The best thing is the equation of (nuclear attack) == (a monkey holding a firecracker on a stick).

[ashley92wales]

having your skin melted before your body hits the ground by something hotter than the surface of the sun is 'getting hurt' lol XD

[WhiteDragon103]

What the hell happened to the monkey?

[fordford1987]

this is amazing

LETS ALL GO TO 60S HEAVEN

[snazzydrew]

Oh lol. I love the 50s.

[NickAndrewsShow]

Yup a desk is the most high tech thing to keep you safe, that makes me feel alot better!

[SweetAsGummys]

duck and cover duck and cover lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu

[3amigosalute]

It can knock signboards over??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!­!!!!!!!!!

[Duhya]

IT CAN BREAK WINDOWS?!

[kikaimaster]

NO IT CAN BURN DOORS

[Duhya]

HOLY SHIIITTTT!!!!

[xcessive8]

it destroys whole cities

[Duhya]

No it dosnt fucktard, this accurate and not totaly bullshit propeganda video only shows it breaking windows, noone gets killed, but u can get hurt!

[xcessive8]

whatever dumbass you no shit all. Im not wasting my time reading your next comment asshole

[Duhya]

Lol someone dosnt know sarcasm when he sees it

[WeHeartFilmTrailers]

The sad part is that the government knew that the duck and cover routine wouldn't mean shit if we were attacked that way.

What a bunch of assholes.

[darkoneforce2]

Governments, governments never change.

They always lie.

[GarmaZabi]

Well this was meant for kids no?. I suppose they wanted the children's last moments to be as safe and secure as possible. Give them some hope that they will live and then bang, dead in a an inastant. They never know what hit em.

Sad but ture. Except for the teacher, poor guy/girl would be in tears.

[bobbels101]

It worked for lava in South Park. Duck and Cover!

[mike18at]

Not for those 3 who tried it out! (just watched the episode)

[maxgrant]

Who in the hell ever thought this was credible advice? I mean, the cartoon explosion looks bad enough, and I'm sure all those kids (boomers!) saw footage of a real atom bomb. Or did they?

[septentrionale]

You have to tell people something so they don't go down kicking and screaming. It's all about morale.

~s~

[cookiestoner33]

um hi. duh this was credible advice! What the hell else are the kids supposed to do? The U.S. was anticipating an attack from the Russians at any given moment, and they didn't understand how strong the bomb was.  If a bomb exploded, you would try to protect yourself any way possible, so yeah, under the circumstances, this made PLENTY of sense. thanks.

[maxgrant]

It made plenty of sense to get under a WOODEN DESK to avoid a 250 decibel pressure wave??

Cookie, just remember, it is better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

[KINGDUDE139]

You do know they wern't sure how the a-bomb did its damage until 1954, this cartoon was released in 1950.

 And besides, it better to tell people that you're safe under a desk or a table instead of "if it hits, we're fucked"

[WeHeartFilmTrailers]

Sunscreen is a better defense than a Wooden Desk. LOL.

[darkoneforce2]

>

^ The footage for Hiroshima/Nagasaki were only shown in 60s, and the H bomb became 1000 more powerful, and rockets even had multiple heads.

[Stefanthenautilus]

As seen in the Mike Gravel mashup video.

[josephkennith]

so a nuke will not kill you if you hide under your desk.

[TheSirBadass]

@josephkennith The idea is that it will minimize exposure to radiation from a bomb.

[Dibsthe1]

Good friggin lord. Talk about misinformation.

[kennymo316]

Apparently, the Flash is a radiation creature that can throw you donw and hurt you in bad ways. Gotta love the kid with sunburn getting massaged. That's so perverted.

[kattyen]

umh.. duck and cover dosnt help at all! your skinn will burn up rigth away... why didnt they just build kind of a basement down in the earth.. that at least would have helped against the powerfull radiation.

[TimmonsCello]

Duck and Cover, a.k.a. "Operation: False Hope".

[smichelle65]

the narrator fails to mention that, when the flash occurred, Bert became instant turtle soup.

[jnovocaine]

Hey! This is awesome. Where can I find a better quality version of the audio? Is it on a compilation cd? I could use this in an audio production.

[ORACLE063]

diddle DUM DUM indeed.

[SpikeIncorporated]

Even if you do duck and cover, the fallout is still going to kill you. If your near a nuclear blast, you are ****ed

[SoccerFreak741]

you know what u could do you could get on the roof of your house lay back put your sunglasses on get a cold drink and prepare to die!

[Sk8rchik114]

bahaha my SS teacher loves to make fun of this too.

[RisingTied02]

LOL My teacher loved making fun of this. BITE THE CURB! It will save your ass. XD lol

[Tyllestein]

One thing you can do "if or when an atombomb strikes" is to try and hold on to your teeth and eyeballs so you wont lose them with all the others, and try not to create panic among the other people around you when you're melting =) also remember to do what?... Yes, that's right :D.. "Duck and Cover"!

[Tyllestein]

LOL!!! Most idiotic film ever xD

They could just tell them as it is, that when/if it comes, youre all screwed.

[mastersmasher2021]

how is it that nobody has made this into a youtube poop!

[SatiricalSarah]

There's a deathnote one that uses this song. On Hikaripop's channel.

[madeup7777777]

"it can knock you down" OR BURN YOU TO DEATH!!!

[triflettofilmsyo]

that song is stuck in my head my teacher played that for us and i laughed thats not gonna help you when the ground is 4000 degrees

[madeup7777777]

SO TRUE!!! and its not gonna stop radiation poisening either. bert is dead!!!

[triflettofilmsyo]

yeah thats not gonna help lol i have no idea what they were thinking...but bert is so cute lol

[madeup7777777]

thank civil defence for killing kids XD. it should say "If an atomic bomb falls inches from your head, you are fuc*ed!!!"

[triflettofilmsyo]

true that brother =]

it would make it easier b/c its not gonna matter either way ur gonna die

[lucasaccardo]

Fortunately now we know that in case of atomic blast you should empty the refrigerator and hide inside, the explosion will make the fridge fly away and therefore transport you to salvation.

[xlivexlovexfriends]

haha....love it!

but i doubt it would help us in

a war. but w/e its cute!

[Xemnas399]

Yeah cuz that'll save you from being blown to smithereens by an atom bomb. XD

[cantthink93]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ya eh like wtf how is it gonna save you from a flying car

[Teasel02]

"just as we are ready for all the other dangers that around us all the time". I love how the black kid was centered in that shot, when the narrator said that.

[Kever890]

hahaha, yeah

[hobbesnblue]

Yessss... duck and covering will save you from an A-bomb... so will hiding in a fridge, according to Indy... if only the world were that simple.

[AnonymousTelevision]

Well, in Indy's defense, at least they made the fridge LEAD-LINED... Which technically would be able to deflect radiation.

That doesn't mean the 1 mile flying fridge landing wouldn't kill him.

[anonymous847]

even though u duck and cover, ya'll still going to die, and if ur lucky, ur still going to die after it cuase there will be milllions of raidiation around u. pointless, but it makes u feel a little more comfortable

[JakandDaxter1]

i had to watch this in class we were learning about the cold war my whole class laught the whole time DUCK AND COVER we were all singing that for a week

[mefsenbhs]

[LuffMusic08]

Duck. And cover. Duck. And cover.

Lol, we watched this in Social Studies today.

[Randomthingsweb]

[actdf07]

omg i saw this video for like the 9490 time today and i saw the entire movie about the atom bomb and i just love the little kids shredded lead suit. it nearly killed me!! if he doesnt die from radiation hell die from lead poisioning. and then he went to ride the bike! i love that part.

but yeah, this video makes me laugh everytime i see it!

[Randomthingsweb]

lol that suit......

[LoudS1l3nc3]

...it can hurt you in different ways: it can fill you with radiation, it can produce 3rd degree burns, it can just throw a rain of debris right all over you....

[Ronnydame]

NO DUCK AND COVER WORKS
