"Oh boy, HAM!!"

A bad-mannered 14-year-old meets himself as a young man of 21, and learns the fundamentals of good table manners.

Another great Coronet instructional film

  • After re-watching this, I have come to the conclusion that the bow tie as standard dinner attire is a practice that needs to be resurrected. Bow ties with dinner: I'm bringing it back!

  • what's "rediculous" is that no one has manners anymore, or cares about them (or can spell).

  • love the sweater Chuck!

  • Well i am 28 but this information film has certainly made me think a little about my lack of table manners. They are no where near as bad as the 14 year old kid in this film but i could certainly do with improving them a little. However, this lad was teaching the American way of holding cutlery and Im in the UK so i may need to do a little further research.

  • In America these may be good manners, but in Britain and Ireland if you did these things it is rude. One certainly shouldnt saw food but tear it for one

  • The father sounds like that narrator on some of the Loney Tunes classics made during this era. :-)

  • Watching this reminds you to be thankful you weren't born in the 50s .. people weren't allowed to be individuals - they were expected (and coerced from childhood) to be robots. Of course, some people would say that they still are :) but at least modern methods are "gentler"

  • If you take nothing away from this video, make sure you learn one thing: NEVER WAVE A BISCUIT IN FRONT OF YOUR BOSS' FACE!

  • Listen to my ELECTRONIC SINGLE that samples this film... soundcloudDOTcom/u-turn/table-­manners

  • ...Dad is TOTALLY a spare-time SuperVillain.

  • Ohhhhhhhh wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooow ham
