What is funny about this is that it isn't even an accurate portrayal of 1958! By 58' rock and roll had already hit the airwaves and teens (including my mother) already had record collections stocked with 45s by Elvis, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry. Yet these kids are still dancing to swing big band music. I understand why given the conformist nature of the film and who put it together but the kids in the film were already in a time warp.
You know, I am starting to realize it may be the directors of these shorts that may have something to do whether the actors' performances are bad or not. This one feels really good storywise and the emotions/actions are very fluent to what the actors are conveying. Its like they are in a actual movie. Compared to some actors in other shorts that have no emotion or act relax and convincing, I wouldn't be suprised if some of the directors for these shorts went on to producel hollywood movies.
This girl is angry about the fact that she works twice as hard on things, puts in effort, but still the kids who don't study and hand in half assed art work get all the A's and awards and she's in the WRONG about this? If people were getting things with no effort I'd be pissed at my hard work being ignored. It's obvious the boys design got chosen because he was popular, Sarah just wants to do well and doesn't like parties. They have to go out their way to demonize her with the 'I'm smarter' bull
See, I bet the makers of this short believe that students who do study hard are snobs. In that regard, they are correct.
But she is actually a snob. She belittles others who aren't as smart as her, and she was pretty rude to the guy asking her to dance. He wasn't even pressuring her into dancing with him.
uh, did they know what snobbery actually was back in 1958? This isn't snobbery, it's just bitterness from not fitting in. Hell, I was twice as bad as this in high school! HAHAHA! good times...
some people think shes a snob r buncha catty,false,immature,using,gosspy,coniving,backstabbing,hateful,judgemental mother fuckers,atleast sarah is keeping it real and dont have time for other people's BS,phoniness and foolishness.im like sarah in my neighborhood and my job and idgaf what "my neighbors" and "co-workers" think or say about me.u got people will gonna smile at ur face and whenever u outta their presence,they put their knives so far up in ur back.
Is this "Snob Girl" suppose to have some crippling inferiority complex and tries to cover it up, or does she have a raging superiority complex and wants everyone else to know it?
I felt bad for the so-called Snob Girl. I think that the other kids were judging her badly, but at the same time, she does come off as being an intellectual snob. I just feel bad for the Snob Girl.
I find this short actually quite sad. Poor girl. I find it also quite disturbing how the movie more or less tries to justify the bullying of the girl.
Wow, I was totally expecting her to See The Error Of Her Ways and reform at the end, there.
If you (or someone else) hasn't already done it, I'd like to see "Watch Out For Poisons" with commentary. It's my most favorite safety short EVER. (Basic plot: World's Most Idiotic Puppet keeps coming across various toxic substances AND DRINKING THEM. Co-starring World's Most Melodramatic Mom, a dad who is high and thinks that signs are talking to him, and a character I've named Dr Baron Von Q-Tip.)
I think Sarah is actually pretty cool. We could have hung out behind the gym smoking cigarettes, knocking back rum, reading books, and bitching about what assholes the other students were. It could have been beautiful :(
Okay, I never understood the part where the two girls were talking to Sarah and she didn't hear them because she was reading. So, reading and not noticing when people are talking to you, which is PERFECTLY NORMAL because you're into what you're reading, is snobbery? This must be the inspiration for Fahrenheit 451.
Shes not hated because she likes to study but because she acts and believes shes superior.Granted most of the other kids are idiots as well,but I wouldnt want to be one OR the other.
Damn, every single person in this movie except for the snob is a total asshole! Her only problem is concentrating on schoolwork and not being a partygoing idiot.
You are *by far* the most talented iRiffer I've ever heard. :) I did notice you stole a riff from Time Chasers in this one...not that I mind...any riff from Nelson and crew is worth borrowing. :)
Good comment about the Aspergers, and so right! She might have a social disorder! But in the 50s I guess everything was fixable by 'fitting in'. Hmph.
Wow you seem very sheltered so I think you should leave the your computer and find a nice politically correct book. We wouldn't want you to see anything inappropriate on the internet.
So your a snob by working on your studies and being an anti-conformist? I think the people of today who get rejected in high school can understand Sarah.
Sarah is trying to be herself by working hard on her studies and is rejected because she is classified a "snob" by popular kids who are doing the same thing to her. Even her parents make her feel cold by putting her down and pressuring her!
@westholmes2001 I agree. If you are that devoted to your studies, you are going to truly make something of yourself some day. It doesn't help having everyone around her put her down for working hard.
@westholmes2001 And if she was willing to stay by that boy's side when was sick proves that she's one of those people if you don't force things on her and treat her like a person, she's actually a pretty caring person.
Don't forget that this way made in the time when being abused or raped by a pedof--- wait... "homosexual" meant being arrested, just for being most-likely ass-raped by a "homosexual". Also, it meant "Duck-and-Cover" was the #1 solution to nuclear attack.
THAT, and most of the characters in these shorts were Obsessive Compulsive Disordered up the ass and pricks.
@courtneyrao A Genius!? HA! She can't be a genius, she's a WOMAN! It is scientifically proven by science that women cannot contain complex data in theirm inds, like, how to understand cars, football scores, and How to vote! That is why us kind men give them the easier, less thought intensive chores like raising the kids, cleaning and maintaining the house, sewing up our clothes, and so much more! Genius women... what are you, a commie!?
Poor Sarah. Did anyone else kinda get the feeling that Mom and Dad would've just been better off telling her "Well dear, nice boys just DON'T like girls who read books!"
Remember girls, the popular kids never would have had to stuff roadkill in Sarahs locker if not for her acedemic ambitions!
I liked her too. I felt bad for her, the other kids and her parents were always putting her down. I bet she wasn't a snob, she was just in a bad mood from the constant insults.
You know, one of the reasons I love the Centron (YAF) shorts over the Coronet ones is how they don't attempt to give a definite conclusive solution to the problem. In fact, what's interesting is how Mom and Dad's way blew up in poor Sarah's face.
I feel sorry for Sarah. She seems smart, she was good looking and probably just was a bit anti-social and always got discouraged by the privileges awarded or appeared to be awarded to those more popular.
@battra92 Good point. This may be among the last of the true "social adjustment" films made. With the launch of Sputnik in 1957, Americans blamed (among other things) schools teaching conformity and popularity instead of math and science was how the Rooskies got into space first. Although she would still have to struggle with sexist attitudes, Sarah would be getting more respect for her studies. That might make her less likely to use snobbery as a defense mechanism (as someone mentioned).
"His design's going to be on the yearbook cover!" Well, yeah, that's because Bill puts out. Everybody knows that, Pumpkin. "That's all the dishes, Father. You are dismissed." Ugh, guess that's what I get for adopting a Romulan.
Geez, this is the most realistic Young American Films productions. o_o Poor Sara, everyone's being a bitch to her. This is not good, to continue the cycle.
Is it just me, or is the student council president developing a bald spot? <_<
Yeah that gets me too. They treat her like shit, then complain about the way she reacts to them. Sure she's difficult, but if they treated her like a human being and include her in more stuff she might act more human. But tease a dog, and it's gonna bite.
Wow, Josh, this one was a laugh-out-loud riot! So much to work with, and you nailed every bit of it. After that X-Ray one, I was worried you were running out of material (by which I mean videos, not your writing!) After that 'titular line' when she ran out, I thought it was gonna become a zombie movie the way everyone lined up against the windows. "Snoooooob. SNOOOOOB!"
Another witty commentary there, Mr Way. Is it just me or does anyone else think Sarah was the most sane in this short? Snooty geeks of the world, unite!
I would say you're right. Now granted Sarah needs some work on her interpersonal skills and COULD learn to loosen up a little. But that doesn't excuse the behaviour of others towards her. Her snobbishness seems to stem more out of a defense mechanism than a true "Im better than them" attitude. The other kids however seem to do it out of a sense of cruelty, Sara's different, so she must bepersecuted.
Thanks, everybody. Sorry for my infrequent posting of late. I'm juggling a lot of projects. It's nice to be back with a short. I've had some pretty bad allergies lately, which you can probably hear in my voice.
Well, that was a depressing ending, but another fine work nonetheless. For your next work, may I suggest an unintentionally hilarious safety short entitled "Shake Hands with Danger". I think you'll have some fun with the accidents in that one.
Obviously you've never heard of a Student Council. Trust me, these people tend to gravitate toward each other the way the last spoonfull worth Cheerios do in a bowl of milk. ANYTHING different than them is treated with contempt.
While overdramatized it DOES illustrate the old saying "Kids can be cruel"
Okay, is it just me or are the roles reversed, since when does a teenage girl not want to go out a party? and since when does mommy and daddy insist they go out and party
Hey, there's an idea! I imagine they'd bring a keg and smokes. They were like the Frat boy and Party Girl of the early 1940s. It's like college never ended for these two.
And Mom would show them the ping pong ball trick (Best not to ask)
Woot. First view/comment/rating. First, AWEXOME. Thank you. Second, I love how all the 'kids', espcially the girl's neighbor, look like they're 30. And still living with their parents.
I've also got to call out Bill on this one. Hey Bill, she is obviously in a bad mood and wants no part of this party, just leave her alone.

Did anyone else notice that she is Susan-Jane from "The Outsider"? This chick cannot land roles where her character fits in.

I don't blame Sarah. The kids on student council in any school are usually the most irritating!

Come on, give Sarah a chance. Girls like that put out at the drop of a hat.
"I don't mind drying dishes." We wouldn't, either, except you use your shirt to do it.
"I just have one question." Are you a lesbian?
Isn't there supposed to be a resolution where the snob learns to open up a little more, and the other kids learn to be more understanding?

She's misanthropic, driven, and doesn't suffer fools: Sarah, a heroine for our time.
Excellent riffing.

How many of those people we invited when Sarah won the Nobel Prize?

None. Thew all died from a mysterious gas leak. Sara was implicated but no real evidence could be found to connect her.

The snob in me: Hated this video and thinks I can do better. Actually its all just silly
But the sarcastic smartass in me: LOVES it.

Geez, this is the most realistic Young American Films productions. o_o Poor Sara, everyone's being a bitch to her. This is not good, to continue the cycle.
Is it just me, or is the student council president developing a bald spot? <_<

I don't think it's a bald spot so much as an overly enthusiastic barber.

Yeah that gets me too. They treat her like shit, then complain about the way she reacts to them. Sure she's difficult, but if they treated her like a human being and include her in more stuff she might act more human. But tease a dog, and it's gonna bite.

Wow just found this thanks to the Rifftrax forums. Nice work! Easily the best fan riffing I've seen!

Wow, Josh, this one was a laugh-out-loud riot! So much to work with, and you nailed every bit of it. After that X-Ray one, I was worried you were running out of material (by which I mean videos, not your writing!) After that 'titular line' when she ran out, I thought it was gonna become a zombie movie the way everyone lined up against the windows. "Snoooooob. SNOOOOOB!"

Another witty commentary there, Mr Way. Is it just me or does anyone else think Sarah was the most sane in this short? Snooty geeks of the world, unite!
ProfessorVengeance 4 years ago
I would say you're right. Now granted Sarah needs some work on her interpersonal skills and COULD learn to loosen up a little. But that doesn't excuse the behaviour of others towards her. Her snobbishness seems to stem more out of a defense mechanism than a true "Im better than them" attitude. The other kids however seem to do it out of a sense of cruelty, Sara's different, so she must bepersecuted.

Thanks, everybody. Sorry for my infrequent posting of late. I'm juggling a lot of projects. It's nice to be back with a short. I've had some pretty bad allergies lately, which you can probably hear in my voice.

Well, that was a depressing ending, but another fine work nonetheless. For your next work, may I suggest an unintentionally hilarious safety short entitled "Shake Hands with Danger". I think you'll have some fun with the accidents in that one.

Obviously you've never heard of a Student Council. Trust me, these people tend to gravitate toward each other the way the last spoonfull worth Cheerios do in a bowl of milk. ANYTHING different than them is treated with contempt.
While overdramatized it DOES illustrate the old saying "Kids can be cruel"

"What do you think?"
"Write to 'The Snob', C/O The Better than You Corporation"
Seriously, that's a bad ending. Are people supposed to vote on the ending? Like Texting "savesnob" to 66737?

Okay, is it just me or are the roles reversed, since when does a teenage girl not want to go out a party? and since when does mommy and daddy insist they go out and party

When the girl is an uptight, snobby, schoolgirl and she's always inside the house and keeping her parents from "rocking the casbah" now and then. ^_^

Hey, there's an idea! I imagine they'd bring a keg and smokes. They were like the Frat boy and Party Girl of the early 1940s. It's like college never ended for these two.
And Mom would show them the ping pong ball trick (Best not to ask)

Woot. First view/comment/rating. First, AWEXOME. Thank you. Second, I love how all the 'kids', espcially the girl's neighbor, look like they're 30. And still living with their parents.
