Duck and Cover (Public Domain Theater)

[imaburrit0]

lol at the suicide bomb monkey

[wow1022]

don't forget to duck and cover

[valzilla2000]

From the thumbnail I thought it was Rick Astley...

[AlphaLinkX]

This is quite informative. I plan on making a suit made out of news papers.

Actually, if news papers work so great, I wonder how awesome duck tape would work...

[SecretWife56]

My plan is simple. I plan to die. See, how simple that is.

[unpicked1]

@SecretWife56 That's my plan b if the news paper doesn't stop the nuclear blast, LOL.

[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 hour ICBMs, which made civil defense pointless, did not begin until the mid 1960s.

[TigerIIRT]

Why aren't they running? They're just leisurely walking to the shelter.

[russiarolesLOL]

Everybody knows that a foot high wall can protect against a 10 Megaton bomb, right?

[unpicked1]

@russiarolesLOL If a newspaper can, well then a foot high wall should have no problem, LOL.

[russiarolesLOL]

@unpicked1 Ha ha, true ;)

[jwallbanger]

what's with the annoying overdub man, i'm trying to learn how to fellatio myself during an a-bomb blast.

[JohnTeeYall]

Wow, I never knew a simple nylon coat could stop you from being evaporated by a nuclear blast. I would like to leave a longer comment but I can't, I am on my way to WalMart to buy a simple nylon coat. LOL Great video, gave me a good laugh.

[unpicked1]

Why drive all the way to wal-mart? If you have a newspaper laying around, then your safe!!

Also, I'm pretty sure you could just wrap yourself in toilet paper, and be safe too.

[sokka55]

duck and run the fuck away

[mattyboy0289]

God people in the 50's were so pathetic. I mean how can you think this will save you from an atomic blast? And even if it could, why would you want to survive? If an atomic bomb explodes in America, that obviously means its a nuclear war between Russia and the US and the world is already over. Who wants to survive a nuclear apocalypse?

[xSipuli91x]

Well how much did the public know about nuclear weapons back then? I bet this made them feel safer. 'I know what to do if I see the flash' is a pretty calming feeling...

[suzke]

this video sux... but i have to watch it cuz my teacher told me to...(weird guy)

[unpicked1]

Your teacher made you watch my commentary version of it?? Or just made you watch the original version?

[Slithids]

@unpicked1 yeah teachers show this, my class was NONSTOP mst3king

[OneCrazyGuy11]

what if the older person is a wierd child molester

" yes little child i'll show you a safe place"

[unpicked1]

LOL, Good question.

[pvtryan328]

hey can u send me the link to Prelinger Archives?

[ThatRandomGuy666]

Between naked skin, and a newspaper...

I'd use the newspaper. <,<

[cooleosis1]

this gives +1 rad resistance in fallout 3 lol

[MatherWrestler219]

we watched this in my contemporary american history class, had a brief discussion, and then laughed at the concept

[futurecomic75]

(BOOOM)

quickly grab the news paper, it will prevent you from geting hurt anywhere

[bart56912]

mabey if you duck behind a 6 inch thick lead wall you might just survive

[unpicked1]

Didn't you watch the video?? all you need is the New York Times, and you can go charging into the heart of the blast!!

[bart56912]

bhk

[ilovehp11]

lmao i watched this today in science class!!!

[unpicked1]

You need to do a science experiment to see how well newspapers block radiation, LOL.

[ilovehp11]

lol YESSS i will tell my science teacher....thats it its offical im soo doing that experiment.........now all i need is a newspaper, a giant flash, and an atom bomb

[KittensFromMars]

yes, a newspaper will save you from a nuke...

[Natester555]

KAMAKAZE MONKEY!!!!!!!!

[xXskunkfuXx]

Remember kids if you duck and cover a large explosion and radiation with 220 MPH winds can never hurt you!

[Lyco499499]

This film is only half relevant to me, because I DO have a shell to crawl into. And I'm considering sueing the narrator over his claims that I don't. Damn FEV virus. Most people got big muscles, I got a shell.

[Lerssinen]

why you have to comment all the time, it sucks ass.

[bcpmax]

lol JUMP & STRIP!!!!!

[cheseahand]

hahaha not the chicken lol

[jmm1233]

should put this in fallout 3 in the open air cinema

[Lyco499499]

They did use a sample of the talking in Fallout 3, the "Theres a bright flash, brighter than the sun, brighter than anything you've ever seen." at 2.26

[Choowbz]

I wonder are the artists who were commissioned to do those animations still alive.

It would be interesting to hear their retrospective comments.

[unpicked1]

well, they'd be pretty old. If they were still alive, they might not remember making this stupid little cartoon. Or they might be of forced there self to forget it, LOL.

Thanks for watching.

[dubldeka]

I was around then and i can assure you that the kids made the same comments as yours.

We would tease the dumb kids by yelling duck and cover in the playground.

It was treated as a joke even then. We grew up with a total distrust of authority thanks to films like these.

[unpicked1]

Yeah, It's kind of ridiculous, a nuclear bomb can destroy a whole city on the blink of an eye, but they say you'll be safe if you happen to have a newspaper to cover yourself with, LOL.

Why did they even bother to make this video!

Well, Thanks for watching.

[sexandgromit]

dude, that was great! I pissed myself laughing!

[unpicked1]

LOL, glad you got a good laugh out of it.

Well, Take it easy.

[popsuckits]

I'm going to use this soon. audio only I hope you don't mind.

[unpicked1]

You can use any of my stuff that you want, Man. Just don't let that Aerock guy get a hold of it, LOL.

[popsuckits]

Roger Roger...

[CCPookeyduke]

OMG....between the suidical turtle, the details of what an atomic bomb would look like, the sunburn reference, and then the nudist comment.....LMAO!

[unpicked1]

Remember to always carry a newspaper with you, just incase of an atomic attack, LOL. take it easy.

[CCPookeyduke]

I just can't get over the fact that these were probably meant to be on the serious side back in the day! LOL!

[unpicked1]

I know, it's sad, LOL.

[popsuckits]

Still one of my favorites crazy monkey.

[unpicked1]

Thanks for watching again, man. I still keep a news paper with me, just in case, LOL.

[BikerTrashWolf]

I wonder how many people actually believed this would save them...? I meen the bobs where only equivalent to a couple million tons or so of conventional explosives. now on to the smart ass remarks.

FORGET THE suiside munkees, only turtles can be safe from TNT toting primates.

Hi kid, ummm. I am a civil defense worker... I have Candy, get in the van. ^_^

[unpicked1]

"You must always obey the civl defense workers, even if they say slap your mother" LOL.

I don't know how many people believed this. Surly the government knew it wouldn't do any good, but I guess they just wanted to make people less scared by telling them there was something they could do to save there life.

[rhondaanthonytanner]

cute opening but like poor little monkey and stuff, you rock--sending hugs and kissy kisses--Rhonda Anthony Tanner/R.A.T. Coaching

[unpicked1]

No, you rock and stuff, LOL, Well, Like.. Take it easy, and stuff.

[sarahMLP]

I really want you to present these in the style that they used to do on Sesame Street or was it the Muppet show where he sits in his big armchair by an open fire, that would be really funny with the Unpicked1 doing that xx

[unpicked1]

Oh, Building a fire takes work, and I'm lazy, LOL. That's a good Idea. I might do it sometime. Well, take it easy.

[BikerTrashWolf]

Do like the guys on Indy Mogul, have a green screen fireplace :D

[unpicked1]

You, Sir. Are a genius, LOL.

[NathanDanielMaskel]

if you survive from an atom bomb you still have to deal with suicide monkeys. god damnit

[unpicked1]

The world is a dangerous place, LOL.

[theoriginalrandomman]

Nice...

If they re-made that vid for the war on terror it'd be about suicide bombings instead of atomic bombs. Yeah, they'd probably just show the opening part and cut everything else out. That'd be hilarious...

[unpicked1]

Watch out for those suicide Monkeys, Man. Take it easy.

[theoriginalrandomman]

I'm not going to lie, those guys are real mother f@#$ers. Seriously, I know some one that's missing an arm and both legs thanks to them... also an eye and an ear... At leat, she did. But then She got them back some how... (/bionic woman reference) take it easy.

[relex109]

lol suicide monkeys.....lol atomic blast worse than a bad sunburn...duck and cover will help???

[unpicked1]

No, Jump and Strip, not duck and cover, LOL.

[unpicked2]

I would never put something like this up on my channel, your a loser, Unpicked1!!!

[unpicked1]

Whatever.

[transformersprime]

suicide monkeys

[unpicked1]

Yes, Be on the lookout for them, there everywhere!!

[transformersprime]

aaaaaaaahhhhh monk.. no no SUICIDE MONKEYS

[distorteddogma]

We keep three of those indestructible, radiation proof school desks in our pantry, just in case.

Be Well.

[unpicked1]

Good, better safe than sorry, I always say, LOL

Take it easy, Man.

[slorge]

duck and cover, or climb into a washing machine. sometimes bombs explode without any warning...especially if they're carried by suicidal monkeys.

[unpicked1]

LOL. I'll cover my washing machine with newspaper. Then I'll be double safe. Thanks for watching, Man.

[ZullGostnu]

Dude, the radiation will destroy all the enzymes in your body, if it does nothing else. A seed microwaved for one second kills the seed. It is a stupid public message. Besides, what will you do after the bomb. Might as well dig a hole and bury yourself. Might as well go out and see the explosion.

[unpicked1]

Yeah, it's sad. I'm sure the government knew that, I guess this video was just made to give people a feeling that there was something they could do to be safe. I guess making a video were they told the truth and said "If you see the flash, your dead!" would of just made people more scared.

[Whiskerz1]

Lol, who's driving the bus if they're all ducking and covering?

[unpicked1]

The Bus is like kit, the car from "Night Rider", LOL.

[JesseAndMike]

That was awesome, hilarious!! 5 stars!

[unpicked1]

Thanks, Fellows. Remember to stop, drop, and roll... er.. I mean duck and cover, LOL

[kinglaffo]

You could do Night of the Living Dead with unpicked commentary dude

[unpicked1]

LOL, Mystery Unpicked theater 3000.

[gigasteam]

man i wish i had a shell, the i could be smart... but everybody would tease me for the shell... didint he sey a newspapper could save ya? if so im gona make my cloths out of newspapper, then ild be safe, and when mean people would laghf at me, theyild be burn, but ild be safe chose ild have newspppaer clothes o save me... sart turtle, man you gotta be one of the best persons to si next to wile waching a film

[unpicked1]

Newspaper suit, HMM. That sounds like a plan to me, Man. But you'd be in a mess if it started to pour down ran, before they dropped the bomb, LOL.

[gigasteam]

but if the bomb came first?... wait what if is followd by sour rain... back to the drawing bord

[popsuckits]

That is one smart turtle...You should do a skit with your turtle...

[unpicked1]

Yeah, I was thinking about my turtle when I watched this. I don't have him rigged where I can put him in his shell. I guess I need to fix him to where he can do that.

[bwhahrhr]

funny stuff :D

in the austrian army in the 60's soldiers learned to jump behind trees or in tiny holes for cover when an atom-bomb goes off !near! them

[unpicked1]

It kind of sad really, Making people they can be safe by ducking and covering, or hiding behind a tree. If a bomb ever did go off, there would really be nothing to do, accept say goodbye. Well, take it easy.

[bwhahrhr]

well after watching this I am glad I always have one weekly newspaper and two daily newspaper with me. I can protect myself from BURNS before I get desintegrated :p

I had to watch it again, it just gets better. fav. part at the moment - the scene with the truck (:

[popsuckits]

The paper will burn...Buy Magazines, they are glossy...

[unpicked1]

I guess if the bomb went off a few hundred miles away from you, a paper might help you, but If your close enough to see a flash, I think you well be dead before you hit the ground.

[bwhahrhr]

I don't want to scare away any potential future girlfriends with computer- or pornmagazines (and I read National Geographic at my uncles place)... I am nerdy/geeky enough already (:

[popsuckits]

There are magazines on a variety of topics...Food, Music, Arts, Cats, Travel, all which would be acceptable to most... Vintage magazines can also found...

[bwhahrhr]

my horizon is sadly narrow (:

[unpicked1]

Join the club, LOL.

[unpicked1]

Think, I could use a coloring book, LOL.

[bwhahrhr]

SonOfPopsuckits has one of those maybe he would share in the unlikly event of an a-bomb blowing up near all of us...

[unpicked1]

Oh, I guess I better start reading the newspaper, just to be safe, LOL.

[popsuckits]

After seeing PBS's documentary "Black Rain" I think...bomb victims from WWII...I would rather go fast than slow...

[unpicked1]

The people that were at the heart of the blast probably had a Painless death, They were probably dead before there brains even realized what happened, the people that were a few miles away had to have a horribly painful death, I'd rather go fast, too.

[ZatarohrahkV2]

Funniest commentary every made.

[unpicked1]

Thanks, Man.

[popsuckits]

I have a parody about his I have been thinking about...This is great...Great commentary....Still watching...

[unpicked1]

I think I might download another video, and do the same thing. They had all kinds of videos over there, and you don't have to worry about copyrights, there all public domain.

[popsuckits]

There is some cool space stuff too..
