Life awards a well-off Saxon farmer not only with the “burden” of wealth and abundance but also “compensates” him with a kind of loony and silly wife, who does not like to work. The more Szusza tries to “please her husband,” the more the farmer loses his patience. In the end he manages to get rid off his wife, who hardly knows her place in the world by that time.
Made by the Kecskemét Film Studio.
Directed by: Lajos Nagy
Storyteller: Gyula Szabó
Music: Kaláka band
The makers used the decorative art of a certain countryside region at each episode. The trio of folk art, folk music and folk tales are masterfully combined in the episodes, which have unique imagery, sometimes spicy folk humor in the dialogues. Thanks to the natural presentation of the storytellers, and the music of the Kaláka band, the viewer can experience something unique and special.

Ok, guys. Let me explain what exactly the story is talking about:
The story is not about "people with mental illness" , it was told for parents, children.
FOR THE PARENTS: if they send their kids to learn with the others, they can learn it wrong and cause problems. You are the one supposed to teach them. "In the end he manages to get rid off his wife, who hardly knows her place in the world by that time." If you do not teach your children properly, they will meet the world alone and crazy without without knowing their purpose in life.
FOR THE CHILDREN: You have to learn how to do things properly, or you will meet the world alone and crazy without without knowing your purpose in life. This story comes with a question "why she didn't ask what really was to do?", so we explain for the children "you have to ask! Don't be afraid to as for help e to ask for a better explanation".
Some people/Children learn more when realising by themself ...it teaches them to use their head and find the way best for them...spoonfeeding and condescent is terrible...A parents job is to create the enviorment for a child to find their own by giving them room.
Oh, now this story makes more sense and becomes less depressing than I inicially thought.
I actually really like this explanation! ❤️❤️
The husband could've just told Szusza to ask the neighbor to help her with the chores, and then since he's rich just pay the neighbor for their troubles.
I know this is 8 months old but the neighbor seemed happier to watch the train wreck rather then entertain the idea of helping her.
I know right! And instead he beat her up! This is serious cruelty!
Wouldn't have been much of a folk tale if he did.
And who, then, would've carried out doing the neighbor's chores?
@@yellingupthatdirection Back in those days a man was allowed to beat his wife
I can't help but to wonder as to why he married her.
The marriage was probably arranged. Her parents had something this man wanted and they wanted their daughter to live in abundance.
What if he got some money and wealth from her family?
Him? I don't know why she stayed with someone who made her do work she wasn't good at and hit her when she tried.
@@AimeeColeman She's not exactly easy to get along with. She's lazy, stupid, and violent. She destroyed all those pots because they wouldn't line up right? Who _does_ that?!
Child-bearing hips?
“The poor man had to give her a beating...”
Yes, poor man for not being more specific and patient with his wife.
The poor man who was rich enough to hire professionals to do the cooking and cleaning instead of making his wife do it.
@@nyotauhura7412 instead of being abusive
I'd beat my wife too if she was that dumb
She was a dumbass, how hard was it to do what the neighbor did? If she wasn't confident the smarter thing to do would have also been to ask that wife for notes and instructions on how she did everything. I'd beat her lazy, dumb butt as well if she sold my money.
we live in a society
Poor szusza, home girl was trying to do as she was told simply never learned the right way
And here we have an army. Noice
@@emacristescu4548 ye, I'm everywhere... Literally
No common sense
I mean, yeah I guess, but she was also violent, lazy, and showed no capacity to learn. She was so painfully stupid and lazy that there's no way she'd be able to make it no matter where she was.
I bet lot's of mentally disabled women were beaten before people understood what was going on. Either that or dumped into an insane asylum to rot, or left out in the woods Spartan style to die, humans are cruel, especially when they don't understand someone's condition.
KaylaNoelle1 there’s no apostrophe in lots
Yes and dont forget ogres, giants, vampires, werewolves and dwarfs. They were people with Down syndrome, werewolfism, dwarfism, gigantism and porphyria. But seen as monsters in these times. Quasimodo had Proteus syndrome and that was seen as a monster too. Cyclopes wouldnt live to adulthood cos its Patau syndrome. They die after being born because they have no possibility to breathe without nose. There was a cat like this and he died after being born. Couldnt breathe too.
@@Duvmasta im Polish and yes, grammar is difficult cos there are 16 tenses in English while Polish has only 3.
@@Duvmasta yes i should hve said died after birth
@@Duvmasta who cares?
She might have been crazy, but the husband was dumb, lol. Why would he keep telling his wife the same thing every day and expect a different result? And why not just keep the money hidden, why make up a lie about it? Silly, lol
I'm guessing there was a precedent for her spending all his money.
"THE POOR MAN HAD TO GIVE HER A BEATING."
Who's the real victim here?
Someone who lived with a 35 years old woman who had the mentality of a 3 year old child.
me after watching this video:
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE COMMENTS
I know she wasn't too smart but beatings are a bit harsh
And then worse, he made her leave.
@@azukiryu400and drove her mad to do it. He also didn't care "none saw her again". She was not very smart, alone without food shelter or help, it was very cruel.
yeah... very cruel!
Okay, seriously. Spankings are not that bad. I got them as a kid. No big deal. Now getting one as an adult… depends on the person...
That said, I do agree that it's harsh, but that's kind of the point. As far as I can tell any form of "spanking" in these Hungarian stories are actually "comedic" in nature. These are stories for children afterall. And the very idea of adults receiving a spanking would be hillarious for children. (And before you argue against that, try to remember that it was a different time and a different culture. You should see some of the German FairyTales. They're Really Dark.)
For Example: In another story "Only Donkeys dont eat their spoons" about a poor man visiting the king. Two of the guards refused to let the man in unless they each received half of the reward he was about to recieve. The man agreed. But when the king asked what reward he should receive, the poor man answered, "50 Spankings".
*cough* spankfetish *cough*
I was just quietly eating my lunch when i heard the sound.... "The beating" and like a character in a melodramatic drama, i dropped my spoon in horror lol
What a heartbreaking story, showing how mental diseases were handled back in the day...
To me the way how Szusza is drawn suggests she has Down syndrome - the shape of the eyes and the round face are definitely not typical Hungarian features.
PaineRikkuYuna highly doubt it. She just seems dumb. :L which is debatably a mental issue.
Nobody is that stupid
So true.
@@Kittsim its a mental issue.
@@cassiereno114 they all are sexist the main charcters are always men , the women are always married off without thier feelings considerd.
Did anyone else think she was going to turn into a chicken at the end?
LOL with the way these stories turn out sometimes, I wouldn't be surprised!
I thought either that would happen, or she would come to the conclusion that she was a chicken and go live with them.
Lol
*A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP*
Szusza new exactly what she was doing. Szusza was just really into spanking.
The true moral of the story.
And the poor man had to give her a beating.
You NEVER have to give your wife a beating.
I like to think she ran off and found someone to love her and show her the correct way if living.
The abuse towards the wife is a bad example for todays children but understand the importance of preserving culture and ancient tales. I also like stories like these for us mature adults.
“The poor man had to give her a beating”.....
Yes because domestic abuse is always the answer....
Jordan Noël she liked the spanking
It’s why she kept messing up
She kinky as fuck
Geezus, that's a depressing one. ^^;
Why? Its funny
@@IzayoiArwena yes because making fun of the disabled is funny.
@@KawaiiKittenDoll no its not at first i thought she is evil and didnt understand. But i ship her with The Foolish Man. Best ship ever
@@IzayoiArwena I ship her with The Lazy Boy 😂
Even if she did wrong she worked very hard and didn't deserve to be punished.
50 shades of Kürtőskalács?
The poor man had to give his wife a beating? in this day and age he would’ve been arrested.
Yeahhh....history's been kinda shitty to women up until recently. And even now, it's still questionable.
@@hannahbg1852 Wait. We can post comments on these videos again??
And are you seriously trying to argue that history HASN'T been kinda horrible to women as a whole? 😂 Cuz....no. Just, no.
Idk why they call it a beating when it's clearly a spanking
Had to say that the wife - not knowing about basic chores, actually can be based on rich family who spoiled the wife from birth. Or a lazy girl who just want money and such, just depending on her face. I saw it myself about some girls who didn't even know how to peel an orange and boil a pot of water. as they only depend on their servant, and they ended up must become a housewife.
Mentally disabled people mostly ended up being tied on their feet and just being left dead if managed to grew up as adult. Even until now in remoted villages. But again, maybe it's different culture....
4:33 This image has been stuck so thoroughly in my head that I can't escape it.
We have a similar / same based story told here in the neighbouring Slovakia. It is called 'About a dumb (or stupid) wife', it gets more dark in the end because the man gets so pissed off that he tricks his wife that he will hide her in the forest so that the Turks cannot take or find her - and burries her uppon head in the woods, putting a hollow tree trunk on her head and leaving here there - well, to finally get rid off her. In the night, thieves come and put a large sack of gold on the tree trunk and as the wife starts talking, they get so frightened that they immediatelly run away, leaving all the gold behind. The next day, the man starts to regret his poor decision and goes to the forest, digs out his wife and she shows him the money. So, in the end, they end up rich and the man is no longer sorry for having a stupid wife :)
Interesting! Now I wonder what other versions of the story are told! Thank you!
This one was insanely cruel. Damn. Just beting up the mentally indigent 😬
Who said she was? It was never said in the story. It’s just something you made up because you want to be offended
You can’t hold this to today’s quite frankly ridiculous standards
@@bennu547 Why do you keep responding to every single comment of someone expressing their opinion? Are you the wife beating husband?
Damn she was trying maybe you could of told her to ask the neighbor what to do. Its not that she was lazy. She really tried. This one was a little sad and depressing. Making her go mad. Help her out give her better instructions sheesh😦
It’s just a story my god
When I studied folktales at university, I remember a student asking about why sex, violence and cruelty motifs were so common? If I recall correctly, the professor’s answer was that the original audience usually included adults so the orator would add these motifs to keep the entire group entertained. He also explained that these adult motifs were usually removed later to sanitize the content when folktales transitioned into stories just for children. I always find these adult folktales disturbing.
This one was bonkers. Some of these folk tales seem to have been made up a Szusza.
I feel bad laughing at this. They are describing someone with a mental illness and making fun of them... Which admittedly everyone in my grandfather's generation thought of as the highest form of story telling and comedy...
I feel bad laughing too x_x
@@janedoe5881 Thats kind of mean... :/ what makes Hungarian people so terrible?
@@janedoe5881 In a black neighbourhood? So trading one prejudice/malice for another eh?
There are many fairy-tales from that time, where “the foolish one” emerges victorious at the end, due to either kindness or ability to think out-of-the-box. They are fun and motivating to this day. The story “Szusza“ however didn't age well.
@@janedoe5881 buzzfeed makes you Szusza......
The moral of the story is: Who you really are ? Question yourself think deep maybe you are Szusza.
Jajajajjaja
Such a mean story. Lol I don't know who to feel more sorry for?
Yeah.
I like to think 'she did everything on purpose just so she can get spanked' because it's her secret fetish... buuut then the end still is mean.
more like such a man story.
zero consideration for her personal style or perspective
Daniel Blashki I think it’s less of not considering her perspective, and more of mental illness not being known about at the time of this being written.
LOVE how they portray stupidity in this folk tale!
All people critic this story...i think this episode make a great job. We feel bad for Szuzsa that means we have heart and wanted to help even she was dumd in a kindness way.
I feel so sorry with Szusza.
apparently this isn't a child friendly story XD
Must have been some bad bacon 🥓 to kill the dog
It wad just too much that s all
Too bad it was the dog and not the husband!
Pork is bad for dogs to eat like chocolate. Or so I have been told.
@@Passions5555 Not really dogs can still eat things like pig ears and bones
This did not age well...
I imagined all the comments this must have invoked and was happily surprised to see most people here are good-hearted. "Our scars remind us that our past is real". It is good to remember that all societies have values that have shaped our present. Hopefully we won't be double duped by the persuasions of a patriarchal society that still leads us to madness.
wow that's an abusive husband right there
Well this was a mean spirited story
He saw that "see what the neithgbour is doing " didnt work yet he made iher do it again
Seems like Szusza’s not the only stupid one around here.
I don’t think this is about mental illness. It’s not a deep story, it’s just the “hah my spouse is an idiot” joke in story form
I actually feel so bad for her
I think this tale started out as whos wife is more stupider competion and then they made a whole episode about it
Took me off guard once the spanking happened. 😅
I...was not expecting bare buttocks...I did not think this was THAT kind of show! LOL!
I think they're actually pink bloomers
Since when did skin go over leggings and end in frills just above the knee? 🙄
How did he not know that the woman he planned to marry was not the smartest? I guess he isn’t the smartest either.
It was probably an arranged marriage
"and the 'poor' man HAD to give her a beating" Oh how awful for the man. After watching quite a few of these I think whoever writes the scripts for theses has issues.
Before I'm told that's just how fairy tales go, the problem isn't the tale itself its the script that's just off in places. The tales are old so the morals and what is deemed acceptable or wrong is often outdated but that's to be expected. Many times I notice a small piece of info is missing and other useless info is mentioned that makes some stories seem odd. Other times there will be a line like the one mentioned above that just seems weirdly worded.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I think the artwork is gorgeous, the narrator is really good and the overall tales are fascinating.
Going back to the story, the Husband must have known she wasn't the brightest bulb in the box when he married her. Instead of teaching her what needs doing he gives her stupid and vague instructions then punishes her. He's deliberately is setting her up for failure every time. I think he likes punishing her mentally and physically. Then when he decides he wants her gone he thinks its ok to drive her mad?? The poor wife is the victim here and he's just a very cruel man!
exactly..even if thr stories are old...the things done were wrong..thats y they wer changed
actually if you look into it this show is pretty old. and this channel is showing them off. they are likely from the 60s the fairy tales are even older.
Thats why the moral is to not be stupid like her.
Obviously this would never be acceptable coz you know.....domestic abuse and assault being illegal and all. And of course very frowned upon. But it’s just a pretty old cartoon🤷🏾♀️ relax.
Context is key. In an age before modern technology and women literally lived to be housewives and mothers, don't even justify that she doesn't know what she's supposed to do. Even for modern people, we were taught chores growing up and your boss expects you to know at least the basics of how to use PCs instead of starting from scratch.
This woman has to be mentally ill on some level. No one is that incompetent.
As for the beatings, it's back to context again. In the past, it wasn't unusual to beat people - children, slaves, women, criminals, everyone.
If you’re dumb/lazy, your partner will beat you then make you go insane.
Szusza is such a Badass!😡
OMG, too much foolishness! The end reminded me Grimm Brothers' "Clever Elsie". :D
Right!
1:38
2:26
3:10
Maybe, she wanted to be punished? 🤫
At 1:38 what the....
I know right!
It's not a bare ass. It's just her underwear. If you look closely they're pink and go past her knees.
@@WobblesandBean LOL
If he was so rich why did he not hire maid servants to do the work at home?
Why do animals talk in these tales? Why are things like sausages and pork puddings sentient? Why do horses eat hot embers? Why are princes and princesses cursed to be flowers/pigs/cats/frogs/witches? It just is what it is, let it go.
Poor szusza 🙁🙁🙁
Domestic violence >:(
:)))))))
Hahah.. This woman was trouble indeed and so was the husband.
This story has not aged well.
That’s just cruel.
My girl Szusza deserved better
His wife is following all his order. He just not understand his wife
I think her original Hungarian name must have been Zsuzsa, but I think it would too difficult to pronounce in English.
No,this is her name in the hungarian version as well. Szusza probably came from 'álomszuszék' which we say to a person who sleeps a lot.
Ah yes, the time before divorce was okay.
Susah means hopeless in Malay , quite fitting.
5:44 i think this part very cross line and mean when her husband pour honey and cover her with feather
It was probably Amnesia which escalated to Alzheimer's.
She's not THAT old. I think you're overthinking this just a bit.
@@WobblesandBean I feel you're underthinking it
Intro: birds vomiting branches of vine
Poor gal, I hope the reason she ran off and was never seen again was because she found a husband who actually appreciated her! She did everything you asked her to do, man, you’re just a jerk ;A;
Did that man...
Just take a grown woman and beat her?
Wtf?
Being sensible is something very important. Otherwise you could end up like Szusza.
Mullerornis or C) make it into a kinky role play
carbon based life form
I second that
how nice to see someone simple minded or on the spectrum and with mental health issues being so kindly treated.... :(
Daniel Blashki Whatever, dude. Representation is still representation.
Wow...this used te be one of my favorite episodes back when I was a kid. Now I am literally shocked how I didn't notice that this is sick, what it teaches to the younger generation. The saddest thing is that this scenario could be still accurate. For instance in smaller villages, this type of violence still exists :(
Makes me want to leave Hungary lol
I pity on her... This isn't the way to treat a human
Maybe actually communicating his needs instead of beating his wife would have been helpful...
Like if the story got on your nerves
She was definitely having a mental illness... which could be treated with a supportive husband and she needed some occupational therapy training....
It's a fairy tale. You're massively overthinking this.
If someone will saw her, Walking around like that, She'll go straight to a mental asylum, They will help her.
Johnathan Cheshire what the- what are you doing here?!
It was not a good story for children.
Yes it is.
This is the most disturbing HFT yet.
Well , she is better woman than lazy wives stories because atleast she is trying, and not just saying i am too lazy to do this work, or simply make 3rd blonde, youngest, step, thinnest most beautiful , fairest, two eyed , do all the work.
Feeling sorry for both 😞😣😫
She kept trying to one-up the neighbor's wife rather than learn how to do things right
Um.... was there supposed to be a happy ending here???
There was. Happy life without a person that ruins happy life.
Yeah, if you're a MTGOW
@@fobija1378 Yeah, it's so happy that a man beat his wife, drove get insane, then she ran off and died of exposure.
@@WobblesandBean You do understand that she got beat to ass BECAUSE OF WHAT SHE DID.
Also, idiots don't die.
Most versions of this folk tale did not mention beetings.
I feel sorry for her.
lol the beatings were funny..caught me off guard.
This is sad clearly Szusza had a learning disability or something!!!!😟
Poor Szusza
Reading the comments make me think that this stories were not made for People from our century
0:46
When your wife won’t let you hangout with the boys tonight
bro wtf kind of story was that.. thaat was some brother grimm kind of dark ending.. poor szusza
The end is kinda sad...
The spanking is in-appropriate.
K snowflake
Szusza obviously clueless about house work.
This one is pretty based.
Good riddance to people who create more work than they accomplish.
I want a sequel following up on Souza
Wow these tales got harsh. Domestic violence and mental disorders. What happened to good old eating embers for xmen powers??
If I was the husband I would have stayed with ther and shown how to do things properlyl
