"Father I had a feeling today!"
"Well don't, son."
“Daddy, I’m dating a negro. Tee hee”
The A Date With Your Family narrator Is Your Friend. The narrator wants you to be happy. Happiness is mandatory. Failure to be happy is treason. Treason is punishable by summary execution.
*Flashes you the tabletop gamer secret society sign.*
A Date With Your Family is nothing more than the sick fantasy of a fascist aasshole control freak. All that's missing is a nazi salute. You can have a personality at the dinner table, too.
That short would be less offensive if Dad raped Junior at the dinner table while Brother chopped Mother and Daughter's heads off.
That short is the scariest thing I`ve seen on mST3K yet. Just curious....WHEN were you supposed to bring up "less pleasant" topics in the 50`s ?
Wait until the 60's, apparently.
This isnt a movie; it's a radio drama with accompanying stock footage.
"Father feigns eating to draw junior out, then disowns him!"
HA! HA!
Pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was just watching Diabolik the other night and realized crow's "mother" is one of the items crow is taking to Earth, nice lil call back
I like the comments that use words and sentences to express a point of view.
What a particular pleasant diversion.
Such comments leave me feeling mildly pleased, but not TOO pleased of course
Fun fact: Dr. Forester's experiment at the beginning of the episode is based on a famous experiment done by Harry Harlow in the 1950s. Crow's preference for the wire "mother" is the exact opposite of the results Harlow got when he did this to baby monkeys. The giant pin cushion, however, is all Dr. F. :)
Another fun FACT: In addition to his huge greatness, Dr. Forrester is quite a guy. Everybody likes him... just not as a mother.
Interesting, thanks! Thinking back on Harlow, didn't his "monkey-scaring" machine (not to knock Harlow, but some of his methods seem slightly... arbitrary? Weird? Introducing a lot of extra variables for no benefit, at least) look something like Mike's killer bot?
EDIT: IT TOTALLY DID! ruclips.net/video/OrNBEhzjg8I/видео.html
@@michaelccozens I would totally choose Mikes killer robot, but I was raised by mad scientists.
Some great riffs in this one.
"Request landing instructions"
Tom: Well keep coming down until you're not in the sky anymore.
"Got a light?"
Crow: I think I hear one coming.
Everything wrong with how I eat dinner is explained in this short. You're supposed to wear pants to the table? That's new...
I always thought that both the pants and the table were optional.
Who dresses up for dinner? Also, everyone is white here!
You're supposed to eat at a table??
@@ElTurbinado I eat on an ironing board.
Whats a table?
the movie doesn't talk about the consequences of the industrialist going back to his San Francisco plant and shooting his innocent window-washer for being a communist spy
I am curious. Is he really? So when he goes back after hypnosis is he going to get an innocent man arrested? I am interested because I like the Window Washer because he does remind me of Peter Lorre, who I am a huge fan of. ("Rick save me!")😉
I love Mike's range in the opening segment - busy, creative, surprised, going for the jugular, and just washing his hands of it all, all in 30 seconds and no dialogue needed. Tom and Crow are perfect vict-- I mean foils for the shenanigans.
Date With Your Family is the best. Never gets old.
A Date With Your Crime Family is better!
You don't know my family... 😉
The Woody Allen story
A date without your family priceless
"THE WOODY ALLEN STORY!" has always made me crack up every single time
I love that despite THREE atom bombs, life remains cozy at the bar....no dash for bread here!
well it was the duck and cover generation...gotta keep the public blissfully unaware of the true devastation of nukes!
"The bread can wait. We need to dash for that booze!"
But who will save the toilet paper?
Reminds me of the scene in "Independence Day" when the fighters pilots are laughing at Will Smiths joke in the briefing room while millions of people are dead or dying.
@@LukeManchild Well even the Japanese town commission in Godzilla Minus One had a brief chuckle despite the fact that they are discussing a suicidal mission with zero guarantee of success and having survived Godzilla causing the death of millions.
I'm not sure why, but when Crow screeched while hugging his 'mother' it cracked me up!
That opening short that they riffed on was more horrific than any horror movie they showed in the entire history of MST3K
Watching that makes you realize why the 1960's happened.
Scott C -
I'm 72....
You had to be there.
@@GoldenShellback I'm good. If I was there I would've either ended up marrying a woman I didn't love or getting lobotomized for being gay
True unintentional existential horror. Makes me appreciate the crazy family I grew up with. At least we had dinner like human beings.
“Emotions are for ethnic people” always makes me lose it
Fun Fact: The hypnotist in this movie was played by The Old Man (head of OCP) from Robocop. Guess he assembled the best spin team he had.
"You call THIS a movie?!"
Good ol' Dan O'Herlihy. Dude was fortunate to not have been in RoboSlop 3.
Huh. So THIS is how Conal Cochran recruited people originally to Silver Shamrock....
Really good point on Wikipedia: "On a philosophical level the film is also often viewed as humorously (and unintentionally) ironic, as the lesson it communicates encourages citizens to subordinate their individual needs and desires to that of the State in order to combat Communism."
It's especially evident in George's flashback with the U.S. Army. They make almost the exact same command that the Communist Window Washer does except the latter is more violent about it. But somehow the U.S. is justified in doing it for ...reasons?🤷
@@julieporter7805 The reason is they aren't communists so it must be fine, classic 50s logic lol
I love Crow’s “formal hair-do” and how husky Tom Servo looks in a suit 😂🤵🏻
He had a slicked back crest 😂
"I could make an entire movie using this stock footage!" -Ed Wood
PULL THE STRING!
Crow "As your President let me apologize for not seeing this invasion coming"
Mike was like, I just realized the President's approval rating is dropping.
He's definitely not getting a second term
Mike's disgusted walk-away from the robot he just had to destroy is friggin' genius.
The two Lois Lanes are not the only superhero connection with this movie. The main star Gerald Mohr went on to be the voices of the Hal Jordan Green Lantern for Filmation's Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure and Reed Richards for Hanna Barbara's Fantastic Four cartoon.
Gremlin1960 Thanks was wondering why his voice was so familiar.
He was also the voice of The Scorpion, the villain in the Captain Marvel serial. The actual villain was one of the other characters, but they had Mohr do the voice so the audience wouldn't know who it was until the very end.
"I just wanna make tractorrrrrrrs!!"
Crow's scream at 4:30. Dear God, Crow's horrific scream...
Generation Exorcist mike almost lost it
Crow has THE BEST screams.
This is why the '60's were all about rebellion. People saw that short film and said screw this! And the world is a better place for it.
christianlorre oh yeah, everyone acting like a fussy two-year-old and doing the opposite of whatever they're told, *so* much better
The 60s were an awful time anf they grew to be in their 30s in the 80s, which was not rebellious lol
"Mike, this sucks! Can we just EAT?!"
Love it! XD
"His helmet is ribbed for her pleasure"-mike LOL god they drop some filthy goodness all over this show.
There were no rules back then. Sadly, unlike today.
@@jman3504 : There were rules back then, just like there have _always been._ I also have no idea what makes you think that this particular joke would be considered objectionable today, other than perhaps a persecution complex.
I love how they left in Trace's flub at 36:24, it has to be at least as funny as whatever he was meant to say.
Ikr, that's far funnier lol
I like how Kevin reacts in character and turns Tom, laughs quietly
God, the window cleaner squeaking over the conversation kills me every time!
Wikipedia says this film made $1.2 million on a budget of only $127,000. That's a hell of a return on investment, considering the movie is about 50% stock footage the producers likely got for free from the military!
Most likely because they were paid by arms producers to make the movie. Scare people into accepting arms spending. The statements in the movie make this really clear.
@@PRH123 : It's a hilarious piece of unintentional self-parody, that's for sure. Of course, the not-so-hilarious part of it is that the military-industrial(-congressional) complex is alive and well today.
@@ludicerXIt’s a 72 year old movie, product of its time. Communism is evil but you could send that message better than this.
@h_Stormcock : It's not a "product of its time"; it's a product of shitty, hypocritical thinking that's still going strong. "Communism is evil" isn't an effective basis for political policy or a worldview, yet many seem to think it is.
@@Ulfrich_StormcockCommunism is just an idea, just like capitalism. The people in charge of things and their intentions with how they'll run it are what can be evil. The red scares we've had in America are anti-union and workers rights fear-mongering movements, honestly.
"Emotions are for ethnic people." Nearly did a spit-take.
Only ethnic people enjoy the sun!
49:46 "anybody got a light?"
"I think I hear one coming!"
Now there's a line I wish was actually in the movie
Probably would've made the movie better.
"Knows all the angles..."
"Calls himself 'Euclid..."
XD
It’s so cute how this movie tried being timeless by not naming “the enemy” while still having it painfully obvious that it’s the Russians. Were they afraid of censorship or something?
They were probably torn between the USSR and Chinese and decided to not date themselves
This movie and short combo paint a very warpped and disturbing view of the 50's...
I can't stress "unemotional" enough.
It's easy to see why America went crazy in the '60s, after a decade of enduring this.
All white people! All the time!
@@wadecarmen7501 as a white person, i can agree with that.
Like now.
@1:31 Mike Dodge (1937-2015) played the H-bomb. He was a writer on Season 6 and later played the boss, “Bob Honcho” (originally Bob Rhino) in the post MST3K series, “The Film Crew.” It’s unusual to see someone outside of Mike, Kevin, et als playing a character on the show.
I just can't get enough of the enemy smacking the gruff-sounding businessman across the face in his office. His high-pitched "SHUT UP!" coupled with the smacking sound of his hand is pure gold.
I saw Cinematic Titanic about a year ago, and on my way to the meet-and-greet I literally ran into Joel. We had a "Whoa, sorry buddy!" moment then I wen't "Oh...OH! Sorry, Joel!" as he smirked and walked away.
3:50 - Tom Servo, about the “wire mother” with the bottle sticking out nipple first: “I thought they usually have two of those.” 🤣
Wolf-girls can have up to 10 UwU
"Tractor police, John Deere squad"...NOW THAT MADE MY DAY!
I'm sure the makers of this film did not understand how atomic bombs work. If Hoover Dam was nuked, there would be no flooding as all the water would have evaporated from the heat and then rained down as radioactive rain.
"Pass the beer nuts, you back-ass cracker." I gotta remember that one.
1:38 - 2:35 Mike tampered in Joel's domain
Absolutely peak riffing form in the whole series.
A violent argument erupts over whose day was more pleasant.
The jokes in the Date With Your Family short are hilarious.
Mike Dodge's performance as Bob the Bomb is outstanding.
21:18 the squeaky window cleaning is so funny
I love how they alternated between footage of jet fighters and ww2 combat footage. Also how they showed b17s, b29s and b36s.
Crow on the two Lois Lanes: "Well...let's not get into that whole Kirk/Picard thing here; they were BOTH very good."
Sounds like some comparisons people like to make all of the time in this comment section... doesn't it? And I tend to agree with Crow.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; "perhaps booze would alleviate this situation."
What the hell kind of dystopian future did the 50’s want us to live in??!
So many damn rules lmao
You need to remember those adults lived through two world wars, The Great Depression, and a deadly flu epidemic, let alone paralytic polio could strike you at any time. They just wanted a few years of normal, for petesakes.
The actor playing Mr. Ohman (Dan O'Herlihy) was in the first two Robocop movies, as well as Twin Peaks!
also The Last Starfighter!
+buttchop2021 and ine of the hurlihy boys on snl?
+Kurt Reber Do not know about that, but I forgot to mention that he was also Strieker (I probably spelled it wrong), Ziegfried's henchman on "Get Smart".
I stand corrected. Thing is, I knew King Moody played Shtarker, as well as one of the first Ronald McDonald's. He is in a movie MST3K riffed, Teenagers From Outer Space, and I must have mixed them up when I made my comment.
ruclips.net/video/0WopX1tfJXc/видео.html
he also got nominated for an Oscar around the same time as this movie, And was the villain in Halloween III.
The guy leading the Red invasion forces must be a distant ancestor of Starfleet's CMDR Chekov...
He has the same bad accent.
And that's how you social engineer a family into an industrial element ran by the military.
I'm so glad Mike and the boys kept going after the show was cancelled with Rifftrax. It doesn't have the same charm as Mike, Crow and Servo..... but at least the jokes keep coming.
Anyone else notice that the creepy hypnotist is German... how long after WWII was it that we started making films with about embracing Fascism to fight Communism?
I think he was supposed to be British, but that accent was all over the place.
Hylian Fox Among the movies he's been in, he was a general in FAIL SAFE, the head of the mask company in HALLOWEEN III, SEASON OF THE WITCH and the CEO in the original ROBOCOP. The boy has been around.
ha!
is funny becuase we did it the other way around in WW2!
+Brian Bois Gilbert OMG it IS him. How did you DO that?
Kurt Reber I'm a movie nerd. ;)
Fun fact: as of today (02/14/16), Phyllis Coates and Noel Neill are both still alive, at the respective ages of 89 and 95.
RIP Noel Niell :(
Didn't take long.
Five years later, Noel Neill died July 3, 2106. From her Wiki: “Her publicist and biographer, Larry Ward, paid tribute to her role as Lois Lane, as did actor Mark Hamill.”
Phyllis Coates is 94.
21:30 Gees! This has to be the first guy in U.S. industrial history upset that the Feds want to place an order with him!
I know right! i thought that was ridiculous too. must be a green partier.
I swear, these shorts are made for and by aliens wishing to assimilate.
Or Mormons.
Same difference.
Pretty sure it was some of the Nazi propagandists the US scooped up after WWII
Holy crap. What else could iT be? oHH, right, don't offend your fellow commenters with unpleasant comments. Have a nice evening, lads and lassies. Let's enjoy the scheduled programming as recommended. Maybe suck down a Marlboro . . . iT refreshes.
@@andrewfrankovic6821 W-...what?
@@guilmon182 I'm saying these shorts must have been made by aliens. The message behind the dinner here was . . . just fake iT. No one had a name. Behave, some Big Brother is watching. :) That smile is fake too. I must say I'm surprised to see someone on top of a comment to a four year old comment.
Omgggg 😄😄😄😄 ~ The Dinner Date with your Family part, had me Lolling like every 10 seconds...😂😂😂😂
I've always loved how Crow's net gets "combed back" on formal occasions.
Hahah, love it when Crow is all buttoned down for dinner how his head... thing... is on back to front so it sits down ^_^
17:07 The actor who played the bartender was in some Three Stooges episodes.
There's a bellhop at my hotel, knows all the angles, calls himself Euclid
27:19 the invaders knew the perfect time to start their attack, when everyone was getting baked.
To quote Linkara: "No please not the politicians please stop"
"I'm torn between mourning my boyfriend and Marxist dogma...hmm, mourning my boyfriend or Marxist dogma?"
The conflict between 'mourning' & 'dogma' is a bourgeois linguistic manipulation to divert you from the class conflict which drives history.
Oddly enough, a Date With Your Family is narrated by Ward Cleaver.
Let me boil down the Short at the beginning of the film:
"Don't act like a human being, thanks."
Also, "Go piss up a rope!" That had me rolling. :p
And if you donate to the Military Industrial Complex, you'll get a nifty tote bag!
"My dog has no nose!" "How does he smell?" "Awful!"
"Hey, Hey nyet means nyet!"
1:09:26
20 years and this joke still sounds like it was written today. That's progress folks!
It's funnier in 2023 with an actual war in Eastern Europe
I think a lack of research is a key ingrediant in a terrible movie. And this movie is worse than Radar Secret Service. At one point it claims that a battleship is hit by an A Bomb. Apparently, the fire spreads and the captain gives the order to abandon ship. After being hit by an A Bomb. An A Bomb.
That's not mere lack of research, that's "the writer had a stroke while doing this part of the screenplay"
Ha, or "writer wrote script after being hit in the head with a hammer, some 200 or some times."
Jared Richardson
The film definitely throws around nuclear and atomic weapons as if they were everyday things. Guess we can be glad they didn't go "they're using A-bomb bullets!"
80MWH
Shhh, say that too loud and Michael Bay will here you
well yea, it was just HIT by the bomb, it didn't go off
"Many families across the country observe the custom of saying grace at meal time."
"Please God, take me now."
If I'm ever forced to join in a gathered blessing, I'am so going to be thinking that the whole time. XD
haha i should have used that, if im ever in that awkward situation i just look around the room or my watch
My family won't ever ask that of me cause they know I'm an atheist.
@@christallh24 An atheist and vegan walk into a bar; who tells everyone what they are first?
@@chuckn4851 I've no idea. It be most likely the atheist would be in a bar full of "god-fearing" hypocrites, though.
@@chuckn4851 This is funny, except we all know Christians advertise their faith WAAAAAY more than atheists and vegans combined!
I watch this show all the time, since I was little I go to sleep watching it - its like having old friends talk in the background, and this opening is still one of the funniest ones. Also, I was born in the late eighties, so this 'fkd up 50s' issue is painful to watch lol
A Date With Your Family is the most terrifying short they ever featured, and I'm including A Case of Spring Fever.
They have made a lot of Casablanca jokes over the years but
"Look, you're getting on that Russian..."
has got to be the best.
That "date with your family" short is so weird. The 1950s were all about repression. I'm so glad I wasn't around for them. It has some off the most hilarious lines in any MST episode
"..remember, emotions are for ethnic people"
"...and of course no one eats until father has started."
"Father feigns eating, draws junior out, then disowns him!"
"A violent argument erupts over whos day was more pleasant"
"Maybe I should have washed my hands after handling that dead woodchuck"
August West Actually, something I just realized...it seems like all the major world powers were interested in ideals - the Germans wanted to create an ideal race, the Russians and Chinese wanted to create an ideal society, and the US wanted to create the ideal family. The French wanted the ideal souffle.
analogkid01 haha! Well said, and very very true. What a weird time in history...
The '50s were preferable to any other decade, IMNSHO.
Don't judge a decade by one movie. Or by movies, in general. The world IS a much more vulgar place now, which is a shame. What you call repression, I call civility. I wasn't alive back then (that I know of) but I wish I had been, although I would have just taken it for granted and not appreciated what I had.
Patrick Ney yeah that's what's called nostalgia. And it is completely blind to the facts. But it's great!
"You'll have to give to public television." LOL
This was a really funny episode. And I loved seeing Dan O'Herlihy. He's cool in pretty much anything.
This movie was remade 20 odd years later as a Christsploitation flick called 'If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?'.
What's the biggest farce: Soviets acting like Nazis or Soviets flying B-29s?
(A) the former. Soviets actually had B-29s...reverse-engineered B-29s, known as Tupolev Tu4 "Bull". They were made after 3 B-29s were captured following forced-landings.
BugPope
Or, maybe, since we are dealing with an extremely-low-budget movie (considering that is the premise of MST3K's existence), they couldn't get a hold of Russian uniforms, let alone afford them? We're talking early Cold War, after all. Nowadays, you can get as many uniforms--and as much Russian stock footage--as you want for almost _nothing._ Easy Peasy.
There is one authentic PPSH-41 sub-machine gun in one scene, and (poor) replica Soviet general uniforms...buuut the rest is stock footage and lazy production values.
@@Mr_Bunk I think you mean replica Willage People outfits.
They were exact copies, as per Stalin’s orders. Right down to the aluminum panels that covered previous bullet holes that the original plane had received. Best not to piss off Uncle Joe. The tundra of Siberia is littered with the graves of those who did, and also those who didn’t. Good old Uncle Joe, such a kidder that man was…
" Dad im dating a negro! " lmaooooo
You can never make that joke nowadays. This show was politically incorrect and I love it. The first few minutes of this show was something straight out of the muppets lol
@@Ulfrich_Stormcock You do understand that joke was explicitly making fun of 1950s conservative social norms? "Dating a negro" during Jim Crow, was seen as the "woke" position because it recognized people of color as actually being people, something conservatives struggled with and continue to struggle with today.
It's course appropriation of Jim Crow Era lingo, but far from "anti-pc."
Absolutely The Funniest Episode I Have Seen Yet
While having a family meal is a great thing for many reasons, “A Date with Your Family” is effing insane. It’s so beyond psychotic. No one does that!
Over the 70 years that has existed, there's got to be at least one family exactly like that.
I love how almost immediately start humming and marching to the Soviet Union anthem as the soldier takes over and speaks on the radio. Like, Crow bouncing.
Edit 4 years late, it turns out I was mistaken, it was The International that they start pantomiming and humming to.
Second one in a row I’ve never seen before. Thanks for posting!
Be sure to check out my Blogspot link in the video description, you might find more hidden gems there.
"Just keep coming down til you're not in the sky anymore. Don't you know how to land?"
At the dinner table, little kid is thinking to himself, 'yeah, I'm gonna be shooting heroin as soon as i am able".....
"Many families throughout the country observe the custom of saying Grace at mealtime."
"Please, God, take me now!"
Hahaha! XD
And Crow just THREW himself at the food!
I'm glad the enjoyed my cut-out work in the film.
They just don’t make shameless propaganda like they used to.
It's a damn shame that life tends to have a liberal bias, isn't it?
Your immune system is xenophobic
+Myrdred Deceiver isn't everyones, really?
Myrdred Deceiver technically, yes.
D Kelly,Jr Trump is trying to right this balance on twitter every day
The "Date with your Family" short embodies nearly everything that was wrong with the United States in the 1950s. Invasion USA covers the few wrongs that the short doesn't showcase, creating an MST3K episode that could be alternatively titled "Why the 1950s in America Utterly Sucked"
"Tell mother how good the food is," "Even as you gag on it"
9:55 "Father, I had a feeling today." "Well don't, son."
16:16 Albert Glasser: the man who holds you down and pummels you with music
"I saw taxi drivers use their cabs as weapons..." Yeah, AKA a typical day in New York.
