Everything about this video is completely perfect: the witty observation comedy, the exactly spot-on 'spooky twilight zone acting', camera work -- perfect. Literally tears of laughter.
Well done, guys. I don't know if that many cities in the US have quite the same dynamic as we have here in SF. Also, some of the comments below: has nobody here seen a classic "Twilight Zone" clip? Sheesh. So much of it is understated, the horror in the mundane. I'm still freaked out by that one story about a man who wanted the world to leave him in peace so he could read, so he was left the only man on earth with all his books. Then he broke his glasses.
@glitter1951 This is the original score for "Where Is Everybody?", the pilot episode for TZ. However, it was written by Bernard Hermann and not Elmer Bernstein. Hermann also wrote the score for "Vertigo", also set in San Francisco, but I'm sure he was working from home that day.
Amazing! absolutely brilliant.. The score is Joel McNeely's re-recording of Bernard Herrmann's "The Man" from the twilight zone episode "Where is Everybody?"
this is no exaggeration. I live in the mission and there are people at Dolores Park seven days a week with beers in hand and no jobs. Down the block on valencia are rows of independent coffee shops filled with macbooks and parking meters buried under hundreds of locked up bicycles. But hey, I love this town and wouldn't want it any different.
Great job! Spooky how people's faces just slide by! Doesn't anybody work in this town! hahaha I've had that feeling seeing people sitting at outdoor cafe tables.
its sad though, last time i went to San Francisco many shops were out of business and many of my favorite places were gone.... but that was 2 years ago, maybe it changed
"Does anyone work here?" Buddy I'm the working zombie you never even visited a Safeway. I've been working through the pandemic. Very very few call outs.
"Why does everyone have Macbooks? Those are expensive, you know!" I barked at that because I said more or less the same thing when I saw a graveyard shift Shell Station cashier with a frikin' Macbook Pro. "If you weren't buying frickin' Macbooks you wouldn't have to work the graveyard shift!"
Seriously, only brainless zombies wait in line at Tartine (or Ritual for that matter). But waiting in line for a performance of KML is a sign of high intelligence!!
I really thought this was going to be about an incessant, existentially-depressing fog, droves of homeless straggling about like zombies, and rude old Chinese people pushing past you on MUNI.
...yet another victory for Elmer Bernstein. P.S.: I think he had a day job with Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling, didn't he?!? No, wait - he was in post production so he HAD to have the day off. Dammit!

i moved to San Francisco a few weeks ago. This was pretty much my reaction to the city.
I don't think any comedy video clip has ever so thoroughly expressed my own inner voice. Thank you, KML.
Oh man...I remember feeling exactly like this when getting laid off and wandering around the city.
"it's only ice cream!" HAHA so true.
I've watched this three times already. You guys really hit it out of the park with this one.
11 years later this is still so relevant.
Wow! That was an awesome parody! You guys hit the tone and feel of the show spot on, and the premise was very clever! Great job!!
This is probably my favorite video in the world. I laugh so hard it brings tears to my eyes.

This is so unbelievably good.
This never gets old 😂😂😂
Very funny; background music and choosing B/W option was perfect!
im watching this at home.. in san francisco, on a thursday, before 4pm, i just woke up.. im going to dolores park now..
I would love it if 'Killing My Lobster' did a SF 2017 v2. update skit using the same 'Twilight Zone' flavor...
Ice cream for breakfast is truly the greatest meal. Especially when you've got a hangover.
I wish every video on RUclips was this good
I will never get tired of watching this 😄😂
So great. Even after all these years.
Fantastic short!
I'll be there for my annual visit, I feel his pain!
That was great! Great work! Thanks! I'm subscribed now.
Cracking up here! Great stuff!
Fantastic! Now I want very very much go to San Francisco!
I don't want to need to work anymore! :D
LMBO!!! Hilarious! Great job!
That was awesome!
This was done very well.Exasperatingly so,I find San Francisco to be much like this.
Perfect execution.
I live right by that Bi-Rite on 18th. The line raps around the corner on Dolores on weekends. You would think there was crack in the ice cream
Magnificent video!
evergreen video. at least there's one week where you can actually do stuff and it's coming up!
Amazing! absolutely brilliant.. The score is Joel McNeely's re-recording of Bernard Herrmann's "The Man" from the twilight zone episode "Where is Everybody?"
This makes me thankful to be living in a city that is big for my country but very small compared to the big cities of the world.
I wish he would make more videos like this. It would be great right?
Hee hee, that was a lotta laughs. Thanks.
This is hilarious, and it is something I have wondered also!

I am loving everything about this.
Jason needs to go to Sacramento on the weekend when it's a ghost town.
moved here 2 months ago...so damn true.
The whole Bay area is like this. I feel his pain.
Lol "then why does everybody have macbooks? Those things are expensive you know!"
informative and well shot.
Great job.
Great job! Spooky how people's faces just slide by! Doesn't anybody work in this town! hahaha I've had that feeling seeing people sitting at outdoor cafe tables.
freakin' brilliant! (and sooooo dang true!!!)
since I retired I can't imagine how I used to fit in working 9 to 5 !
That was demented but funny; mostly funny.
So hilarious! Also - is that Bernal at the beginning?
LOL! Very funny sketch!
Brillant!! I L
Damn that bread smells good.
This is too true...
Still rings true today
Fricking Funtastic!
Oh, and it´s almost the same here in Berlin.
brilliant. I always wonder what people are out doing during the day in LA. No one works.
awesome awesome.
Very good and very funny, and I'm a great fan of the original series. Thumbs up from me.
hahaha... this is great. (:
please make more shorts! :)
its sad though, last time i went to San Francisco many shops were out of business and many of my favorite places were gone.... but that was 2 years ago, maybe it changed
The Mission District should be tolerable this week while most every one is at Burning Man. No lines and plenty of street parking.
Wow that had absolutely no point, but I watched the whole thing thinking there would be one. Wow...
"Does anyone work here?"
Buddy I'm the working zombie you never even visited a Safeway. I've been working through the pandemic. Very very few call outs.
hilarious! i am one of them...
l Iive in Sydney, and here its never ending twilight zone....
"Those things are expansive you know"
Its very old Twilight eskew. And I like it.
i believe every hipster has an invisible magic money... cause rent is expensive and i dont get how they pay for it
the moral of this story,
Never make a BS call in to work
"Why does everyone have Macbooks? Those are expensive, you know!"
I barked at that because I said more or less the same thing when I saw a graveyard shift Shell Station cashier with a frikin' Macbook Pro.
"If you weren't buying frickin' Macbooks you wouldn't have to work the graveyard shift!"
Tartine and then Bi-Rite... and now I'm hungry!
Seriously, only brainless zombies wait in line at Tartine (or Ritual for that matter). But waiting in line for a performance of KML is a sign of high intelligence!!
@chitah415 it's the music from the exact Twilight Zone episode they are spoofing, not sure who it could be "off" given that...
I really thought this was going to be about an incessant, existentially-depressing fog, droves of homeless straggling about like zombies, and rude old Chinese people pushing past you on MUNI.

OMG! I usta think the same thing.
They left out "I have a trust fund."
LOL!
so true :D
nice video....
Is that the guy from birdemic?
What frame rate did you film this in? I'm trying to make an old looking video.
The video should have started the earlier segments with the upbeat twilight zone music segments or something to that effect.
100% true
Make more Twilight Zone videos please!!!
0:47 thumbs up if you noticed the one shaven and one unshaven armpits
It's Aug 2020--- need I say more
accurate
Lol I agree there should've been a graphic designer SOMEwhere :P
Hitchcock would be so proud!
Dead on
"I work from hooome"
@sarialdi it's always time for icecream :)
Chevy Case at 2:55
Excellent (except for the egregious apostrophe violation at the very end. Herb Caen would not be pleased.)
@masterbigfoot Haha, that's funny! :)
Came here hoping to learn something about social distancing guess I'm in the wrong place
