  • Brother has a tight psycological grip on junior ROTFL

  • "Hi I'm Denny and I'll be your wife tonight!" lmao this whole thing is genius

  • "A violent argument irrupts on who's day was more pleasant"

  • And dont forget to make a plate for the narrarator

  • Are we all supposed to be scrubbing each other now, or......? lmao

  • Actually, I found this video very pleasant. I must show this to my wife and children...

  • This Means You!

  • Hilarious...

  • @earthtripgirl Ditto, haven't laughed that hard at a Youtube video ever.

  • 1:43 How did they not get the obvious follow up joke of "At least 4 weeks late now?"

  • Dad decides how much you have!!! You cows!!

  • I just watched this episode on my computer! I have basically every episode!!!! (over 300 hours).

    Laughed my ass off so hard I had to share links with my friend. XD

  • 6:50 Sister does her John Stewart impression. Father contacts local circus.

    By the way, search "Populærmusik fra Vittula" for REALLY, REALLY, through the roof un-"ethnic" dinnertime. We're talking hillbilly squared!

  • @ 5:53 "Help cut your meat Jr." How did the guys miss this one.

    "Dad I'm dating a Negro" lmao

  • If any of the kids does anything to interrupt the delicate balance of dinnertime, the Nazi parents will kill them.

  • "The women of this family seem to feel they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime"

    Must be for the after-dinner incest orgy

  • Wait, the women have to look attractive to the men in the family? But... they're family. No one to impress. What, are they hoping to score after dessert?

  • "Even as you gag on it" *does a spittake*

  • "With Strychnine!" Oh God lol

  • A date with my family would be a date from Hell! My clueless Mom, my know-it-all younger sister, my alky psycho other sister, and stuck up brother. I'd rather drink tequila shots alone in the dark.

  • @szqsk8

    I think there's some hidden pain you need to work through...

  • "Emotion's are for ethnic people." one of the greatest lines of all time

  • @GeishaShattori Oh, absolutely! It was all part of that "putting women in their place" thing that started after '45. Lasted until the late 60's when people stopped falling for it. Also notice how the father is not given any responsibilities except the ones that he wants to do, like cutting the dinner that everyone else worked on and being the center of attention.

  • Apparently the daughter doesn't have homework, and has time to make a flower centerpiece.

    The Fifties!

  • well-this-certainly-is-pleasan­t

  • 'Mom, I'm Pregnant...Dad, I'm dating a Negro.'

  • Was this made by a totalitarian supporter?

  • @nagaking07 What do you think The American Suburbs of The `50s were ? Smile , be polite , be happy , be obedient and ignore The Blatant Passive-Aggressive Inkmarks of Racism , Sexism , Classism , Nationalism and Self-Righteousness !

  • @1993MovieMan My point exactly.

  • @1993MovieMan You say "Nationalism" as if it's a bad thing.

  • @crazedactor It`s not inherently a bad thing but all too often people get so caught up in love of their country that they`ll do pretty much anything the government tells them to no matter how ludicrous or amoral it may be . Just look at Nazi Germany under Hitler , Fascist Italy under Mussolini ,Fascist Spain under Franco , Imperial Japan under Hirohito and Tojo , Communist China under Mao and Communist Russia under Lenin and Stalin .

  • @1993MovieMan

    Wait - you mean that's somehow changed?

  • @textthing Well , no aside from the fact people don`t talk about it anymore !

  • "A violent argument erupts over whose day was more pleasant!"

  • I wish I had my own family like that, only I would want more kids

  • I really should've washed my hands after handling that dead woodchuck.

  • So funny." I have no son."

  • So this video was in preparation if Hitler took over the US, right??

  • I am SO glad I was born much too late for the 50s.

  • "The Woody Allen Story!"

  • Comment removed

  • "Emotions are for ethnic people!"

  • "We secretly switched their Foldgers coffee... "

  • A violent argument erupts over whose day was more pleasant!

  • Comment removed

  • Dad, I'm dating a negro.. I just spit my lunch out!!!

  • Oops! Sorry about the double posting.

  • How is this Soviet propoganda and sexist? It's just an ordinary family having dinner together: something that today's families don't do. Regardless of what decade it is; it teaches you table manners.

    I remember watching these films when I was in school back in the 60's (the rebellious 60's) and the 70's (the "Me" decade). What they teach is valuable today just as it did back then. Perhaps you should see these films in school as well. You might learn something from them.

  • the video they're watching is REALLY bad

    the characters are one-dimensional and are only regarded as a number. they are such robots

  • this stinks

    Pod People

  • I bet Glenn Beck would masturbate to this short, lol.

  • I hate when Conservatives pine for the fifties. Maybe because it was when they had the most power over politics and culture. Minorities were second class citizens trapped in inner city slums, school children were forced to pray before school started, homosexuals stayed in the closet, and "emotions are (were) for ethnic people".

  • Awww man, the older and younger brother share a room, I feel sorry for the little boy when his older brother brings home porn magazines. I have a feeling the little kid won't be sleeping for a week. I just imagine what a hellish nightmare that would be like if I know the dynamic relationships between older and younger siblings. XD

  • "A violent argument erupts over who day was more pleasant" - ROFL

  • uh short, there ARE families too poor to eat dinner.....

  • and most importantly, do not develope a personality at the dinner table. a dinner table is a place for calmness and conformity

  • *always promised. Thanks, MST, for pointing out what a load of crap this all was!

  • I don't know, but to me this video's message seems meant to benefit only ONE family member: The father. Notice how the whole thing seems to center around making the father comfortable, and giving him the least amount of trouble and nuisance. You can tell this was a propaganda film created NOT by quack scientists or doctors this time but by average men who were disenchanted by the fact that their families were real people and not subservient cardboard cut-outs of perfection like they were alway

  • @GeishaShattori Suburbia is and always has been unsustainable. The family institution it spawned is insipid and loathsome. Don't forget, Sylvia Plath put her head in an oven because of this shit.

  • @DoNotCiv

    Thus doing the world a favour *rimshot*

  • and this is why the 60s happened

  • That's worse than the Brady Bunch.

  • The story of Woody Allen...LOLLL

  • @RImAPhan I don't get that joke?

  • I learn more every time I come back to a certain short or episode. Last time, I didn't catch the Tale of Two Cities reference. This time, I laughed out loud.

  • The documentary in itself is as funny as the commentary.

    "...Then, helps mother do her chair as he would his best girl."

    "Pleasant, unemotional conversation helps digestion."

    "This is time of pleasure, charm and relaxation..."

  • "do you? DO YOU!? well DO you, better say yes DAMNIT!"

    That took me a min. to type because I'm laughing so f-ing hard.

  • BOOZE WOULD RELIEVE THE SITTUATION ALL RIGHT

  • WELL THATS IT SPANKINGS ALL AROUND

  • I HAVE NO SON

  • MOTHER,SHOULD WE BE SCUBBING EACH OTHER

  • "Father I had a feeling today."

    "Well don't"

  • More gin, pop??

  • Dad looks like Victor Garber.

  • @Kreilz So Mr. Andrews did have a family before he boarded the Titanic? lol

  • "Be sure NO ONE knows the REAL you." lol

  • YOU BETTER SAY YES, DAMN IT!

  • "At least I have two sons..."

    "Perhaps booze will alleviate this situation."

    My stomach hurts from laughing.

  • "There's a rabbit in there!" Fatal Attraction? Anyone? Anyone?

  • Speeecific. LOL

  • "dad, I'm dating a negro..."

    "emotions are for ethnic people."

    Lol, MSt3k knows best

  • Dad i'm dating a negro!

  • This short made me crack up really bad today for some reason...did anyone else find this one of the more funnier ones? :D

  • I'm wondering why they named their kids Daughter, Brother, and Father Jr.

  • @nell582 - it's less controversial and makes for a more peaceful interaction, especially at the dinner table!

  • @nell582

    because it's 1950's-leave-it-to-beaver-whit­e-bread

  • Father, I had a feeling today. Well don't son.

    

  • A better day when women were in the kitchen constantly

  • "The Woody Allen story!" Gah, barely a second into the video and Crow already has me in stitches. Seriously though, this video is disturbing. I have a sit down dinner with my family most nights, but I don't expect my mom or sister to look "attractive". I can't be attracted to them... they're my family, for crying out loud!

  • "Emotions are for ethnic people" lmao

  • Nevermind I found it.. MST3k - What to do on a date just after 8:50 when they're all standing at the tape getting their food ready. You hear Tom and Crow say "nom nom nom, Mmm Sausages, nom nom Sausages.." Makes me laugh for some reason, so stupid it's funny.

  • There was a bit over a dinner setting like this. But they all pigged out. They were either in the theater mode, or it was a skit in side the SOL. And during the pigging out Tom kept mummbeling at various times, "Sausages, Sausages.." This was a common expression when they pigged out like that. Did they ever explain why they chose Sasuages as something they'd repeat? It does sound funny though :)

  • "Watch him play butler..." "...In remains of the day" ROFL!

  • This was rather condecending and I am glad MST3K spoofed the hell out of it

  • That 50s were so sexist.

  • @musclvr98 THE* 50s

  • This is hilarious, but the misogynistic instructions make me cringe at the same time.

  • "Emotions are for ethnic people."

    I'm half-WASP, half-Catholic and I SWEAR I was told this as a child.

  • did people in the 50s change clothes like 8 times a day or something?

  • @stonethestonedtiger Yes and boys obsessed with pretending to be normal and repressing any thoughts of individuality, girls where told never to want sex or careers, men considered suicide every hour of the day, and women popped endless pills. Those were happier times.

  • @GamaScythe What is wrong with you? Why do people assume that just because a certain portion of the population behaved a certain way, means that EVERYONE from that era followed suit. It's insulting to genuinely good people who grew up in that time and get labeled something because someone wants to feel enlightened by saying "I'm from a more accepting and open era, however that ends once I start stereotyping people based on the year they were born. Also I don't know what 'where' means".

  • @highlanddancer15 Are you freaking kidding me? I was joking, damn the loss of subtext in written forms of communication. And NO the freakin' 90s when I grew up as not enlightened or open. I grew up not feeling accepted by anyone or anything for not being your average Joe, white bread, average.

  • @GamaScythe Back then they just thought about suicide....now they do it.

  • @MRAwesome1968 Good one.

  • Well my family fails. We make dirty jokes and laugh about anything and everything. We are a high emotional family by the looks of this.

  • "a violent argument breaks out over whose day was more pleasant"

  • Don't discuss unpleasent things when Dad gets home from work. Or during dinner. Or when he's working on the contracts. Or before bed. Or before work. In fact, bottle all your unpleasent emotions inside you until you explode, using Dad's shotgun to alleviate the pressure your insane family has caused.

  • The cracks about the father are the best! 

  • "Junior seats Dad, and Sister sits the Dog, and the Dog..."

  • "Please God take me now."

    Yeah, that was my general reaction to my parents dinner rituals.

  • 1:50 Where the postman EAGERLY awaits :) Sorry :o

    3:25 This should have been edited in the final version :)

  • I would DIE if I had to eat dinner like that >.<

    Booze is definitely the answer ^^

  • "We secretly switched their Folders coffee..." Priceless...

  • "please god take me now" Xd

  • Have I been eating dinner the wrong way my whole life?!

  • perhaps BOOZE would alleviate this situation!

  • Ah go Piss up a Rope XD

    

  • Honey I was thinking of moving to FIRE ISLAND.

  • what a time to live in. i think i'd prefer hell.

  • "go piss up a rope" lol

  • "Yeah, double the bed."

    "I can't stress unemotional enough."

    "More gin, Pop?"

  • "Mom, I'm pregnant"

    Is it that late?

    XD

  • "Sylvia?" Huh. I get it now!

  • @JoeyJoeJoe1970 what does it mean?i dont get it

  • @TheCupcake2172

    Poet/author Sylvia Plath committed suicide by putting her head in a gas oven so when the mother opens the oven and one of the guys says "Sylvia?" that's what they are referring to.

  • @JoeyJoeJoe1970 thnks

  • A violent argument erupts over who's day was the most pleasant.

    I leave so many comments on these pages but I just keep hearing funny shit

  • @WisconJersey hahaha

  • The great thing about youtube mst is seeing if your favorite comment is the top one.

  • does anyone else think Joel wasn't really that funny. That whole era...the jokes just don't make it for me like space mutany, overdrawn at the memory bank, the final sacrafice, werewolf, devilfish, hobgoblins and yes the other greats that I didnt mention. I just dont think Joel was that funny

  • Love the Pod People callback at 6:36.

  • Do you now see how a date with your family can be a truly special occasion? Well do you?! Do you!?!

  • Comment removed

  • "The Woody Allen Story!" ROFL

  • "Perhaps booze would alleviate this situation."

  • Anyone else think the daughter's kinda hot???

  • hooray i just made view 103,000!!!

  • @AfternoonProductions haha so what? Thats just like 3000 because the only remarkable change is to 100,000. Not 104,000 or 105,000...if you had made 200,000 Id have said cool. but 103,000 doesnt cut it. Its gay, suck it

    face

  • @MichRockHop81108 calm ur titties dude, it was just a dumb comment.

  • "Hi mom, I'm pregnant."

    "Brother runs a boy cleaning service on the side."

    "Hi, I'm Betty and I will be your wife tonight"

    "Dad, I'm dating a negro."

  • @shaybean54...THIER STOMACHS KNOTED LIKE FISTS!!!

  • So mother & daughter dress to be actractive to the family? Incest anyone?

  • yeah go piss up a rope! ehh sit and spin ya cruddy skank!

  • ... more gin Pop? lofl!!

  • Dad, I'm dating a negro!

  • @rinoz47 When he said that I spit my drink all over the monitor.

  • No, it doesn't sound exciting to me. I ate dinner with my family 6 out of 7 nights a week when I was growing up. And we were comfortable enough with each other to do so in sweatpants, work boots, the day's faded makeup, etc. We didn't need to dress up for each other. Also, we were genuinely glad to see our dad. The atmosphere was totally relaxed. Dad and us older kids even had beer at the table once in a while. TOP THAT, PROPAGANDA FILM.

    ...I miss my family.

  • @AniRemi I swear I read 'dad's faded makeup'.

  • @AniRemi I agree. In my family we eat with eachother almost every night. And our conversations that we had at the table were bad according to this film, but they were alot of fun that we got have with eachother. This film sticks. I don't wear dresses to the table and im not going to change my outfit just for dinner.

  • @AniRemi We all do.

  • "Emotions are for ethnic people."

  • DO YOU? DO YOU?.......WELL, DO YOU? BETTER SAY YES DAMMIT!

  • Perhaps booze will alleviate this situation.

    Pretty much how I would handle any situation.

  • I swear to christ, this is like watching Soviet propaganda.

    Fuck the 50's.

  • @Maphysto Does seem like it doesn't it? Don't see anything wrong with it though. It was a different era. It's funny in retrospect, though, to wonder how the culture of the 1950s and early 60s led to the free-spirited, much more liberal thinking of the mid-60s and beyond.

  • "Hello there." "Who are you?" my favorite quote in this episode. I also like, "Daughter obsesses with the flowers."

  • "There's a rat under there!" lol

  • @MrsBoSinclair No, the line is "There's a rabbit in there!" I had to look up "bunny boiler" to get it.

  • Comment removed

  • "At least i still have my son."

    "... I HAVE NO SON!"

  • I'm curious about how long I would have lasted in this family before leaping off a cliff with the sweet anticipation of freedom.

  • "The dinner table is no place for farting."

  • I'm moving to Fire Island,dear!

    BUT NOT THESE PEOPLEXD

  • Their high!!! lmfao
