@lyrimetacurl0 Yes, Turner Classic Movies. Once a week, Friday or Saturday night, they would do these weird videos as TCM Underground. Was usually 20-40 minutes ( depending on gap between movies) and on somewhere in the hours of 4:00 AM and 5:30 AM.
Usually between 5:00 and 6:00am Eastern Time. I know, because I used to set my VCR to tape most of them. TCM's print was pretty much chopped up at the end (including the omission of the "Interlude Films" logo).
Edward Everett Horton narrates One Got Fat. My favorite bike safety is Front Brakes, and it's not here. Super sound effects. Interlude Films. A Blockbuster. Periscope, please take good care of this one.
"Slim knew that his big sack would be hard to handle." Hey now! This short is about children suffering gruesome injuries. You leave this sort of stuff out of it.
This is by far the most bizarre video I have ever seen. I went thru a psychedelic phase with friends and we would watch the strangest shit, and nothing comes close to this. The stereotypes, the effed up phrases per child, the costumes, this takes the whole cake.
Max Hutto, who photographed this (and the father of two of the kids featured in this film) previously directed the "FIBBER McGEE AND MOLLY" radio show during the 1950's.
@@marstondavis I'm a radio guy. Perhaps my brain is more "Audio" as I don't remember faces or names well, but a voice that I heard in childhood on the radio or television, I have always remembered that. I remember the voice from the Movie Lost Horizon, he was a Geologist and had a fossil or something.
I've been trying to find the cast of this for hours. I assume they'd be in their 70s and 80s by now. I know Max Hutto and Ralph Hulett's kids were in it with their friends, but I wanna know how many of them are still with us!
Even the markers used on the bags are nostalgic. "magic markers" came out when boomers were kids. They used small clear glass bottles with strong smelling xylene(?) ink that was wicked out to to the end of a felt tip. They tended to leak easily, and went through the paper onto your Mom's kitchen table. When you see the names on the bags, you see how they wrote, kind of blobby and semi-translucent.
So we have gone from common sense riding bikes on the road to riding on sidewalks with helmets! Go figure! As for signaling, vehicle drivers are the ones not signalling anymore today!
YES A DECENT FILM SCAN OF THIS SHORT!! thank you periscope film!!
I dont have kids but I'm definitely going to find somebody's kids to make them watch this. It's actually a really great safety video.
If I was a kid me and my friends would have jumped on our bikes, imitated the monkeys and had a hoot
I remember seeing this on the now sadly-defunct TCM Underground! Thanks, Periscope!
Turner Classic Movies?

WIFE: ...
ME: ...
WIFE: That's a lot of dead--
ME: A *LOT* of dead kids for a safety video...

Boards of Canada made a nice videoclip from this called: Everything you do is a balloon.
That's where I've seen this before!! That was bugging me!
Which color?
Another Boards fan! Hello!
They were all on drugs back then, just like today
@@rogerbartlet5720Monkey dust!,
Anyone watching this, having seen the RiffTrax version beforehand? Right?
Right!
narrated by the great Edward Everett Horton
Rocky and Bullwinkle in my head the entire time.
But the food made it, and that's what matters.
I remember seeing this in grade school back in the 1970’s. Bicyclists are still the same now.
You could almost call that a wild ride! Some great music in there too, particularly "Bargain Sale" by Bill Loose at 5:43.
"Slim knew that his big sack would be hard to handle." Hey now! This short is about children suffering gruesome injuries. You leave this sort of stuff out of it.
What the hell were they on when they filmed this?
Seriously, I’m gonna have nightmares from watching this.
Love the production music though.
Ahh c'mon man! You know you watched "Land of the Apes" at least a couple of times!
This is by far the most bizarre video I have ever seen. I went thru a psychedelic phase with friends and we would watch the strangest shit, and nothing comes close to this. The stereotypes, the effed up phrases per child, the costumes, this takes the whole cake.
The voice makes me expect a Fractured Fairey Tale. 😂😅
Because it is... duh. Or were you being funny?
@@beeleo There is nothing like a good joke and mine was nothing like q good joke.
What the heck was the writer/director thinking? Strange approach to bicycle safety.
Watched this in grade school back in the sixties. Always remembered Floogle's google eyes just before he got erased.
These were the type of films they would play on the projector back in the 2nd and 3rd grades. Only childs mind could relate to it.
Max Hutto, who photographed this (and the father of two of the kids featured in this film) previously directed the "FIBBER McGEE AND MOLLY" radio show during the 1950's.
Boy was this film bizarre until I realized what the purpose of the video. I didnt realize it was an educational film until the second kid died 😅.
Holy cow, this is wild
Boards Of Canada used this movie for their video for the track Everything You Do Is a Balloon, which gave it an even more weird vibe.
Same narrator as the one for the "Fractured Fairy Tales" cartoons, I'm fairly certain... Anyone else know?
Good ear! That's Edward Everett Horton. Movie actor in the '30's and '40's. Usually the butler in screwball comedies.

Also starred in the 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.
Yes, that's him.
Sponsored by Schwinn, by any chance?
The masks. THE MASKS!!! I may have to up my meds for a bit.
RIFFTRAX nailed this one already,perfect for mocking!😁
Sounds like 'Fractured Fairy Tales' from my youth.
Oh this the original film that Clams Casino made the music video from. The footage is more creepy without any context.

Well….. that was unexpected and disturbing 😮
This is the strangest educational film ever

Bravo
Didn't the same guy narrate Dr Seuss cartoons?
They keep showing this on TCM very disturbing
Creepy
不知道youtuber "Eric Duan"("山道猴子"作者)是不是有先看過這個影片。
Whenever I see one of these ild safety/ training fillms with kids in them, l wonder if any if them ever became A-listers in Hollywood.
Cant helps but notice the hand single for going left is the black power fist.
Slim was a bit portly. A defense football coach would have his eye on Slim for football camp
I like the name Filbert and Slim Jim. Also who's parents name there son Rooty Toot! Poor kids!
"Toot" is likely a nickname. At least, that was my impression.
Absolute Classic
Get outside kids and go play on the highway
YES!!!
Dianne Chambers in this one.
Now that's good ol' fashioned nightmare fuel.
✌😵👍
Are we not men?
No. We are DEVO.
We must repeat.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
The most dangerous thing those kids did was ride with the kid that made it to the park. Being anywhere near that guy must be bad luck.
Why is it so Spooky?
So we have gone from common sense riding bikes on the road to riding on sidewalks with helmets! Go figure!

Nel was kinda hot. Long dead of old age I guess. Funny how things are.
