MST3K - Posture Pals

[1990ribs]

sorry mom dad

[ahoneanatwo]

26 people had their chances of being cool ruined for life.

[LedZeppQueenBeatles]

@tejojo, earliar in the episode he got burned

[tejojo]

Why is Crow looking different?

[TheSpyler]

@tejojo Crow got burned after an act they tried to do before the movie and the 2 shorts

[DOYLERULES69X]

If it wasn't for my posture pals I never would have become the posture prince of my school.

[Gjeorje]

Mary looks like the evil kid from Day Of The Locust

[donwantstobesedated]

5:40 how much you wanna bet that's a "Whites Only" fountain?

[sweethen]

The posture royal family was later forced to sign the Magna Posture...

[bspiderm]

@greenjoker713 do u know what is intelligent design? Or do u understand what evolution is? Do u know which one science and biology supports?

[godzilloid]

Back braces for everyone!

[greenjoker713]

At least this has slightly more validity than teaching them "intelligent design"

[SugomiNoChiaki]

why does the video stop when the narrator says "Miss Martin" even when the video is all the way loaded? It won't start at any other point after either.

[raptor9603]

@SugomiNoChiaki That means your internet dropped off at some time, so the video gave up on loading and only plays up to where it stopped. You can get it to load again by right-clicking and selecting stop download, then playing the video again. But this will unload anything that was previously loaded, so if you have a low bandwidth cap you should be careful.

[funnymahem]

4:54 listen closely then here wat happen's at 4:57

[thefaboloussob]

1:50 "Your body's like a growin' tree" (sung to a John Mayer hit)

2:04 The tree contributed 2 the priciest shot of this film.

2:58 I don't think those boys should express body language in the name of better posture the same way they might TP someone's house.

[MartianBuddy88]

I have to wonder what the curriculum was back in the 50's.

"Should we teach them advanced mathematics, or Shakespear... nah, forget it, let's teach them to stand up straight so they look decent pumping gas for people.

[johnclavis]

My gym teacher used to give me a posture test... he'd have me stand straight up against his front, and he'd use his "posture pole" to make sure I didn't lean to either side... everything goes kinda goofy from there...

[thefaboloussob]

Because someday an orthopedic monarchy will be an effective government in 2011.

8:45 Congratulations! U r of the Bart Simpson brethren!

9:08 DA da da DA! Imperial!

LOL Best line of the video: "Don't you agree they should've won?" "No," they said.

[posturevideos]

Hilarious. . .if only posture was still taught in schools, maybe we wouldn't have such high rates of osteoarthritis and I wouldn't need to re-teach my 70 year old patients how to stand!!

[cyryc]

9:05 - Odd coincidence or pop culture reference? This short was made in 1952 ; Narnia was written and published from 1950-56. Was the filmmaker commissioned to make this short a fan of CS Lewis?

[requiem4ameme]

I love how the teacher is demonstrating "good posture" while wearing heels, which mess up your body way more than standing crookedly ever would.

[thefaboloussob]

2:25 "An actress must stand straight & tall to look beautiful & happy."

Of course some actresses must be more horizontal than vertical 2 b taken seriously if u no what I mean. (& not just in 1 type of film industry!)

[103protons]

@thefaboloussob LMFAO! I just imagined your comment being said in the 50's narrator voice. XD

[thefaboloussob]

@103protons Aw thanks! U just made my day. Deadpan humour does work!

[thefaboloussob]

1:41 (whistling the "30 Rock" theme song)

1:29 Hmm. A drawing of a erect penis w/ a public hair growing out of a zit on it's head.

[thefaboloussob]

On a personnel note, I remember posture exams in jr. high, such as sitting on the ground & stretching my arms upon some object. But that was to test for scoliosis. We certainly didn't need some freakin' video (even if the teacher had to grade stuff.)

[vlcupper]

How can that boy stand like that for more than a few minutes? He doesn't have a posture problem, he has spinal problem. Jesus!

[AlicexMarilyn]

Princess of posture? Can you put that on your resume?

[ladycplum]

4: 56 Oh yeah, that's the stuff, oh yeah Ms. Martin!

[MrJak925]

I'm sorry but why would a kid be so interested in posture..?

[SamTheMightyMan]

I actually watched this short in 4th grade

Once it was done and everyone was done making their own childish jokes she stated that the next video we would watch was a 9 minute movie from 1940 on the importance of Breathing through your mouth like a dead fish

[SouthBeachJenni]

Mrs. Martin, Tommy drew a bong...  BWAHAHAA

[clintallen123]

NEXT WEEK...POSTURE POPE...IN COLOR

[Grimlock316]

26 people are like Bombbo and have bad Posture

[bishiewuvr]

"Like a Spartan God!" "Yeah, they'll go to Burger King and get crappy hats" "He's got VPL." "Just like his dad on Friday night!" "Owch..." "BUURP BUURP BUUURRRP BUURP --sorry--Buurp" "She should just go home to bed. Green eggs and ham. You Sam I am." "Ms Martin, Tommy drew a bong." "A PLAYGROUND WHERE APES EVOLVE FROM MEN?!" "Oh, they're gonna take this for about half and hour before they end up killing each other." "Mom's dress matches the wallpaper!" "Nor should he wear tacky Hawaiian shirts!"

[PvtRichardCranium]

A playground where apes evolve from MEN?

[PvtRichardCranium]

At 5:00 I think Jimmy needs an adult.

[Esgalachoir]

At 0:55 - "I know what's wrong with their posture, they've got no arms!"

[howdyd000]

AH! Monty Python reference! 2:02 The LARCH

[blmgod]

Posers.

[CoD4hunterboi94]

"Miss. Martin, Jimmy drew a bong", lol, that made me laugh for like 5 mins.

[loardofthegames]

mrs.martain tommy drew a bong

[loardofthegames]

they will go to burger and get crapy hats

[runly1]

Melissa Gilbert is NOT in this film! It was made 12 years before she was born.

[DJDannyPhantum]

Theyre only gunna take this for about a half hour then they gunna kill themselves...

[Cohammer45]

Good lord, these kids look creepy as hell in their close-ups.

[eriksc43983]

26 people have bad posture

[Coolbrainchild]

26 people need to jump off a cliff!

[xMetalHead0110x]

Thanks Mom Dad

[Velazquez283]

Burbank? figures..

[Cazz814]

"Tommy drew a bong!"

[ICLAIMTHISNAME]

If you keep a young tree leaning to the side it will still grow straight up.

[Adamguy2003]

Jimmy's smile facial expressions in the beginning looks so creepy.

Oh, and why are 8- year- old girls wearing lipstick, and why does Mary's mother look like John Wayne in drag?

[Pennywisea]

SHLEEEP!

[Dablkwid0w2008]

Thank You Thank You veree much! Im waring a lov lee pantswuit!

[Dablkwid0w2008]

It's the Posture Posse!

[AniRemi]

The...larch.

WIN

[TheBimmyandJimmy]

I bet the "Posture Pals" got pantsed by the rest of the class in front of the entire schoolyard during lunch break.

[shada0]

there bitching about posture? am I the only one noticing that the 50 were a very controlling time. Dont they have more important things to teach the children?

[Rahnzakh]

@shada0 if we slouch, the communists win.

[ig88bc]

@Rahnzakh but sir, the dirty commies are using back support braces! we can't possibly win!

[Shaybe13]

"NO NO my spiiiine aaaaaah!!!"

[AutobotLover]

the larch

[ChevyTrucks352]

Melissa Gilbert isn't in this one. She was born in 1964, and this was filmed in 1952. Besides, when she was this age she was already starring in Little House on the Prairie.

[geddyleesangel101]

"Just like dad on a Friday night." That reminds me how awesome Tom Servo is. Love this show!

[infunctionx]

stand up straight, bitch!

[Casey5693]

Wow, the popularity of clown dolls went down tremendously after the movie "It" came out.

[TRASHRAVEN]

wait the boys can have better dreams for the future but jane gets " she likes trees" and mary" she will need have great posture to be "beautiful and happy ". that's right girls if you have a great posture you too can beautiful and be happy IF YOUR NOT BEAUTIFUL YOU CANT BE HAPPY! Now Mary go outside and stand correctly under a tree so a a boy can marry you.

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

"So she helps them improve their positions."

That sounds wrong, somehow.

[tuckerblacklab1]

Look Alfred Hitchcock Presents!

[ParanoidToaster]

WTF is wrong with Crow?

[KennesawNerd]

@ParanoidToaster The bit before this, Crow set himself on fire due to some mishap

[Dage13]

no wonder they won. thier the teachers pets who sits in the front of the class. the teacher didn't try to help anyone else.

[OtisWild]

26 people have terrible posture.

[AnimeGirl1999ful]

Wow Melissa Gilbert was acting before she was even born??? It does look like her, but that is not her, unless you think she can travel through time.

[hidefanlovely]

anyone notice the chalk board was all boys? Not a single girl up there. I was like ummmmm they crowned Mary so ahem. Where is Mary on the chalk board?

[SoulMusic121]

Yet another BRILLIANT Python reference at 2:04. "The...larch."

[DudeSinger]

Oh Sorry Mom-Dad

[02chevyguy]

Why does Jimmy keep eying Tommy in a loving manner?

[Blacklemon67]

JANE LOVE TREES

[VirAudax]

Hermione at 1:52

[LadyLucario]

"Uh...Sorry Mom-Dad." PERFECT!!! XD

[wolfmanagr]

"Mrs. Martin, Tommy drew a bong." LOL

[MrDuncanBelfast]

"Hey, Posture Pal Clem"

"Hey, Posture Pal Mitch"

[Kefka44]

@MrDuncanBelfast Bonk!

[MstGuy1]

26 people had to watch their dad kill that tree for not standing up straight. @7:16

[WalDemento999]

OH NO MY SPIIIINNNNNEEE! AAUGH!!!!!

[brady178]

"These 4 children are especially interested in the 4 important things"

"Cause they're on the payroll" Lol.

[Hankandthetanktops]

26 people are sensitive to posture issues.

[dX927]

is that the same narrator (is that even the proper term? haha) from Junior Rodeo Daredevils?

[rejectofsoul24]

Bad Touch! Bad Touch!

[AnimalNitrateInMind]

Great Monty Python reference! The larch.

[tennisplayer73192]

@AnimalNitrateInMind I was going to comment on that, but you appear to have it covered.  :)

[TeamRenesmee117]

"He's a loser and the kids let him know it"

[Kahran042]

Jane is a dendrophile. :-)

[kaejae24]

It's Imogene Coca

[arouska]

what the hell happened to crow?

[LizzieBabes419]

@arouska He got burned in a fire stunt.

[BlargGargle]

That short left out the scenes were the four kids were beat-up after class. XD

[alienisuntverus]

Am I the only one who thinks that the entire rebellious hippy thing that went on in the 60s was done because of films like this?

[slasher0630]

@alienisuntverus yes



[Badbones78]

@alienisuntverus Yeah, the beat generation rebelled against the conformity in the 50's, and the 60's hippies stemmed off of them.

[usernameclassifeid]

Posture posse! XD

[snakes3425]

Sheesh the Sixties can't get here fast enough

[corwinorr]

I guarantee you there is not a child in the world that cares that much about their posture.

[HitlerSpotter]

That isn't Melissa Gilbert. This was filmed in 1952 and she wasn't born until

1964. YOU'RE HITLER!!!!!

[Ravewithme19]

Ha ha, never ceases to crack me up. MST3K is indeed the shit. If only the young whipper-snappers of today's generation knew anything other than the Disney channel and crappy cartoons that are on TV now. Hooray for people born in the 80's!

[00madbox00]

An 8 yearold wearing eyeshadow and lipstick? Let's pass her through school just so we can watch her in crappy movies!

[TheLateDarkWobbuffet]

26 people were not happy with their posture.

[Snazz15]

How many people sat up straight after this?

[scottfrenz]

@Snazz15 Haha! I sure did :)

[ETThExtraTerrestrial]

1:32 "I like 'er" !

[Gene2Dope]

HAHAHA that bombo shit kills me everytime.

[ErinIsPunk]

"They're gonna take this for about a half hour before killing each other." LOL, I love Joel's dialogue

[Macgaulyver]

Your body is like a growing tree - with dutch elm disease.

[Centurion755]

How do people actually give this one a "thumbs down?"

[nessagonz3]

they didnt really say any jokes in this clip...i actually listened to the narrator the whole time for once..lol..this is sad but i actually learned some tips on posture

[GregDad100]

"It's Ernest Borgnine!" It's hard to imagine that this film was actually shown in schools during the 1950s, but it was. Incredible.

[DonMack279]

When Mike Nelson and the new Crow came in in the show definitely got a lot funnier

[BackupAccount410]

Who did- who did this-- WHO DID THIS?

*all raise their hands*

[younghoss]

4:57 Thank you for adjusting my butt, Miss Lafave. I'll see YOU at 3:15 Yowsah!

[gosunnyfun]

The vapid stares mean the lesson's working!

8 year old girls wearing lipstick is just creepy. But if they dream of being the winning contestant at 2:30, they're on the right track.

What's with the teacher positioning the kid's butt? That's not in the teacher handbook.

She made everyone posture nazis! She even got to that girl's mom. The tapping finger lets you know you're doing something wrong. Verbal communication is wasteful, I agree.

[capitals4life1]

"The...Larch" Epic Monty Python reference, I love MST3K

[YaoiHuntressEarth]

The other kids had more important shit to worry about.

[Roadvirus1]

2:12 -- She looks like a dead mime

[snootylittlecutie]

"no no, my spine!....aaaaahhhhhhhHH!!!" 7:58

[snootylittlecutie]

"night hef..."

"SLEEP."

[paulson3lt]

what happend to crow

[KonradAdenauer]

@paulson3lt crow got burned in a play were he played a girl who sat on flammible pajamas and tom set it on fire

[esc4all]

"With hollow chest and tired head,

She should just go home to bed!" LMAO xD

[DarkToasty07]

God, people in the 50s were so prissy and fragile.

sadly we're still like that today.

[deathtoyouall]

"Um, sorry Mom-Dad, huh..." LOL

[suzycreamcheesez]

tears of shame pour down Tommy's face!

[joeskis]

here she reenacts her first dui

[SaintRi]

That teacher must have a giant chalkboard for all those kids.

[Nathanamerican27]

"They'll go to Burger King and get crappy hats.

[Mephitula]

"They're the Posture Posse!"

[delusionalzero17]

"Don't you agree that these four children deserve to win?"

"NO!"

[jm2trash]

4:54 LMAO

[Raithious]

"And what gives Jane her worried frown?"

"Valium?"

[Subconscionaut]

this film was made in 1952. Melissa Gilbert wasn't born until 1964.

[loyalfalconflutist]

that's a lot of make up for an eight year old girl.

[Ciberya]

The Larch..

[rjakobi]

Honey, I'm going to kill this tree if you don't stand up straight.

[pcadnezbite]

A playground where apes evolved from men?!

[Ghost8atGhost8sWorld]

she should just go home to bed---green eggs and ham--lol

[angeltosome]

Crow did a Beavis impression.

[BonnesNGlyde]

SLEEEEEEEEEEEP!

[waveali]

"Just like his dad on a friday night" Lamo... i could watch these forever

[WishfulSinful65]

There were so many hilarious lines in this short, I can't even pick a favorite! Loved this! :)

[diegotown619]

the shorts are the best

[USAF95]

NO NO MY SPINE!

[ConradZaar]

"All of a sudden it's iambic pentameter here."

Actually, it's iambic tetrameter...

[WhatsOnNext]

"The...Lark"

[TheGreatYellow]

8:12 I was wondering when they were going to make a reference to "Alfred Hitchcock Presents."

[TheGreatYellow]

Miss Martin! Tommy drew a bong!

[McQuackor]

'What gives Jane her worried frown?'

'Valium?!...'

=))

[RachelSummers777]

It's not Gilbert, though it looks like her--this short came out in 1952. Melissa Gilbert was born in 1964.

[Time4ATickle]

lol. I bet these kids grew up to be alcoholics.

[themaxster100]

gotta love the 50's (the videos they had)

[nelsonr12]

Honey I'm gonna kill this tree if you don't stand straights

[DrPoon]

Whats wrong with crows headgear?

[andoconda585]

@CrabOfDoom LOL

[Shadowdancer21b]

This is one of my favorite shorts. I love the commentary.

[deadcrowes19]

"With hollowed chest and tired head."

"She should just go home to bed."

I don't know why, but that line kills me every time I hear it!

[BTLemming]

"Miss Martin, Tommy drew a bong!" is my all-time favorite line from this show.

[zxcviilll]

note to self: start band, name it "The Posture Posse"

[littlelaneybug]

"just like daddy on Friday night!" lol I love this show

[andoconda585]

Hmmm Why is crow damaged??

[CrabOfDoom]

@andoconda585: because of the opening host segment of this episode. The 'bots were trying to stage a clip for "America's Goofiest Home Videos". It involved a flamethrower.
