It's been 30 years since I read the Hinds County Gazette in Raymond, MS, but the local news was always about who the writer ran into at the post office or the Methodist church. Sometimes there would be the goings on at the Baptist church, but they never took notice of us Presbyterians.
@ The proper question is "what is grits?" (Seriously; not a Southern joke. Grits is singular, like flour. It's a variant pronunciation of "grist", i.e., ground grain.) Grits is ground corn, which is cooked in hot water like cornmeal mush. It's a common breakfast food, and often served as a side-dish at other meals. There are a few different kinds; hominy grits, for example, is made with hominy. (That is, corn soaked in lye until it's soft.)
Sadly I learned this fact (that you *can* mess up grits) in Tulsa Oklahoma! I ordered cheese grits. I got instant grits with a slice of cheese food on top, not even melted! O_O It was very sad... (And revolting!)
Oh god! They're INSTANT! LOL that got me too! Loved it! I think I'll go back to buying grits I used to love making those all the time and since they are a grain they really don't have much in the way of carbs!

This is how you know when it's not yet another sketch comedy channel. Made me nostalgic for the classic twilight zone episode. And that's something the later episodes couldn't do. The guy really channeled Rod Sterling's presence in this. Excellent work
Y'all did a fantastic job on this one! Everyone's acting was spot on, the cinematography was well done, and kudos to whoever did the music selection and/or composition. I love It's a Southern Thing anyway, but y'all really nailed that original Twilight Zone feel, which is not an easy thing to do.
3 minutes in. This is the greatest thing ever uploaded to RUclips. Seen every original twilight zone and this has every piece of it.

@@neoleomedia1676 - I typically fly into the airport and immediately head to SETX, so I don't have a lot of experience in Houston. I have some, though, and it sure don't feel like Texas. It's about as rushed as any big city in other states, and people are about as friendly as in other places. A telling point: Sheila Jackson-Lee would be shouted off the stage if she spewed her nonsense anywhere else in Texas, but in Houston, she's been reelected to the House of Representatives every two years!
Exactly, southerners will laugh at themselves and then make a joke about themselves, whereas northerners and people out west in California takes every little thing in life serious, that's why they are depressed all the time, they are always pissed off at petty shit.
Christian Start people in the west and north don’t know grits. Things move fast in the South. Hilarious. I was stationed in Tenn. MD. & Northern Fla. four years of the south. Tenn was probably 2-3 years behind
I have a friend who moved to Georgia from NY and it used to FREAK HIM OUT that strangers spoke in passing and would get nervous when ppl waved from their yards when driving by. Now it is his favorite thing and always speaks first 😭
Dee Blah In Texas, the larger cities South of I-10 are as liberal as it gets. It's gotta be the salt water. East coast, west coast, and South of 10 are mostly liberal.
@@CM-ve1bz When we lived in Texas in the 90's, Austin was the most liberal place in the state. Coastal Mississippi (admittedly with some exceptions) still leans to the conservative side.
Family is from NY I was born and raised in Southern California. Moved to the south a few years back, love it here. People are so kind and it’s nice to make conversation
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, hiking in the backwoods since age 8. First time I had grits was a couple of days into Basic Training. It seemed like Bland oatmeal, so I added a pinch of sugar, and some coco beverage powder. One of my Drill Sergeants (from rural Georgia) witnessed me eating it... Truly shocked, he asked what I had done?!? He was appalled that I would Eat it like that! He appeared to be Nauseated! He was a Tough, Taciturn Drill Sergeant, but to him, what I did was Revolting, so much so he didn't harass me for it. Like most smart Trainees, I gobbled as much food as possible in the few minutes we had... "EAT NOW, TASTE LATER!" I never did get used to Grits, and never ate them after graduating from Airborne School at Fort Benning.
@@paladinsix9285 the chocolate’s a little odd, but there’s two camps of grits people: the butter/sugar folks and the gravy or cheese folks, who pretty much horrify each other. Somebody’s bound to be offended, if nothing else by the cement left in the bottom of the bowl. Instant grits don’t get the chance to cook out the gritty texture, so aren’t the best introduction to the dish.
I want to watch Twilight Zone for the rest of the night now! This was amazing. The style is exactly like a Twilight Zone episode. A lot of videos don't get the camera work and pacing right. Even the narrator's cadence was on point. This was a work of love for the original. Great job!
Central California is not like that as much. This is an ag. region and a lot of people transplanted from the Southern states. The Coastal areas are a different matter.
nettieninjah I’ll second that. I was born and raised in southern California. Now I live in Tennessee, and the pace of life is slower aside from work, although a lot of other transplants like me are speeding it up little by little.
GREAT satire! Kind of reminds me of my trips to New Jersey when I was growing up. Waitresses never smiled, they were always in a hurry, and one of the workers at a department store accused my mother of messing the coats up on coat rack....and one of the coats she was considering buying for me. We took our business instead to a discount store named Mr. Big, where we found a coat, and the worker there said it was a "SHOP-looking" coat. (Meaning sharp). She was probably from Long Island, because she had a New York City accent, but was nice like a Long Islander....and one of the few nice clerks I ever met at a store in Jersey.
Y'all did a great job of capturing the feel of the Twilight Zone but I wonder if people who haven't lived in the south can really understand just how horrifying this is! Great job!
As a Southerner who moved to the Bay Area, I can testify (a) no one who has not lived / extensively visited the South / slow paced part of the US will understand and (b) I live in the katywampus zone every day here. I had a family friend visit me here, and I needed to find this video for them. 😂
@@ConspicuousCreationI visited the South several times but never lived there, however in Minnesota we tend to be polite and don't interrupt people like that cashier did, that one stood out to me the most.
Shelby Reid I like broccoli and eat it often - but I have heard of putting just a pinch of sugar in with a bitter vegetable to make it taste better. Maybe I’ll try it next time.
That was amazing. Who ever wrote and produced that paid a lot of attention to detail. Very well done. I might not be able to sleep tonight. LOL. So good, and so true. I think I will stop complaining about things moving slow.

Am from NY & folks aren't just always in a hurry, just seems like it, so many people going every which-a-way at the same time 😆 ! By the way not everyone up North is rude as another commented (ThinWhiteAxe"). There's rude folks EVERYWHERE am almost certain...

Hun, I moved from the South to Washington state and I gotta say; I miss the southern way of life. Everyone talks quick and isn't real friendly here. You will never know your neighbor and no one trick or treats. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video and your other wonderful ones. My husband finally is beginning to understand me better now hahaha. Gave you a round of applause :)
So, she was transported up North. Lol. I was born and raised in the North. I prefer the pace of the South. I'll never move North again. Sooooo much nicer down here!
That was the punchline. A bunch of commenters above yours think the set up line--"Nobody can mess up grits"--is the punchline. Scratching my head? Still, entire video is great. Very funny, very sad.

Made me nostalgic for the classic twilight zone episode. And that's something the later episodes couldn't do.
The guy really channeled Rod Sterling's presence in this.
Excellent work
This is the best twilight zone parody I’ve ever seen! Great job guys keep up the good work! ❤️
♥️
Y'all did a fantastic job on this one! Everyone's acting was spot on, the cinematography was well done, and kudos to whoever did the music selection and/or composition. I love It's a Southern Thing anyway, but y'all really nailed that original Twilight Zone feel, which is not an easy thing to do.
Loved the southern-style screen door on the opening door, too!
Talia nailed that classic '50s scream of horror. And I swear I kept expecting to see cars from the 1950s driving by.
Y'all, this was filmed SO well! I loved it! Sometimes, I wish shows still used such dramatic camera angles and reaction shots.
Props to whoever designed the cinematography for this. A lot of those angles and close ups give me some serious twilight zone feels in a big way.
3 minutes in. This is the greatest thing ever uploaded to RUclips. Seen every original twilight zone and this has every piece of it. The camera work, the narrator, music and the depth to each interaction after she entered the twilight zone. The Unseasoned shrimp, Ha! It's perfection. Very very well thought out. Thankful for this upload.
Thank you, Devin!
@@ItsaSouthernThing This was Great and you're hearing this from a true Southern Belle from Texas. I really did LMAO I'd have to invite you over for big glass of ice cold sweet tea and tell you to make yourselves at home take your shoes off and stay a while and show you some of this good southern hospitality. >^_^
The way she stumbles around town looking increasingly panicked is also just like the original series
“Y’all are skedaddling through another dimension . . .”
I love this channel already! ❤️😂
Two of my most favorite things,The Twilight Zone and the South
The Cattywampus Zone:
Episode 1:Too Fast for the South, Yous guys
Timmy the Stickman or yous guys lol
Any other episode names?
Timmy the Stickman
The Devil’s playhouse (land of heathens)
Mamaw the Health Nut
Jack of One Trade (people actually use professional repairmen)
Some Like it Hot (tired of all the damned Yankees in Florida, A/C never invented)
The 49 States (WV never separated from VA, but turns out to be full of liberals)
@@matthew8153 I never ask my Dad to help on my car.
My Mama doesn't cook Sunday Lunch any more
That Rod Sterling was on-point.
man just needed a cigarette
This girl had some.acting chops!!!! Great job. On everything
She sure does.
Southern women are the best. This northern boy is with one now.
Yeah,and beautiful!
A perfect parody...many, many thumbs up...if I weren't in such a hurry...😊😂
.....huh.....Shut...up!!!....LOL!
"Well, you can't mess up grits" "but you did" ! Lol
Copied comment
Serving Instant Grits is a class B misdemeanor in the South. It's as bad as serving a Coke without a plastic straw.
Y'all
Basically transformed her world into Illinois.
Ain't that the truth - I moved to Springfield, IL from Louisiana, when I was 23 and it was just like this episode. Thank God I live in Georgia now.
@@winstonchurchill3597 Really? I moved from Chicago to Springfield and it's more relaxed here.
@@CortexNewsService Well I did find my wife of going on 30 years in Springfield - so there's that.
Unless you go to Dallas City😉
This was a spoof masterpiece! Absolutely everything was so spot on Twilight Zone.. The intro guy's voice & mannerisms, the pacing of the unfolding story, the sinister bassoon and strings, and the zoom camera work.. :) 10/10
She basically just had a bad dream about being in the north, that's all.
That or East Texas...
Or Houston!
Elwood Blues, is it really that bad there?
@@neoleomedia1676 - I typically fly into the airport and immediately head to SETX, so I don't have a lot of experience in Houston. I have some, though, and it sure don't feel like Texas. It's about as rushed as any big city in other states, and people are about as friendly as in other places.
A telling point: Sheila Jackson-Lee would be shouted off the stage if she spewed her nonsense anywhere else in Texas, but in Houston, she's been reelected to the House of Representatives every two years!
Or California
At leat southern people have the ability to laugh at themselves.
Exactly, southerners will laugh at themselves and then make a joke about themselves, whereas northerners and people out west in California takes every little thing in life serious, that's why they are depressed all the time, they are always pissed off at petty shit.
@@freedomfest2741 absolutely sir.
This was exceptionally well done at capturing the look and feel of the twilight zone. Also, as someone from the south, I appreciate it even more. A+++
"These Grits are instant. " 😂
Christian Start people in the west and north don’t know grits. Things move fast in the South. Hilarious. I was stationed in Tenn. MD. & Northern Fla. four years of the south. Tenn was probably 2-3 years behind
I felt that pain when she said it😂
LMAO, classic
As a NY'er who moved down South, this is hilarious and the exact reason I will never move back to NY.🤣😂
I have a friend who moved to Georgia from NY and it used to FREAK HIM OUT that strangers spoke in passing and would get nervous when ppl waved from their yards when driving by. Now it is his favorite thing and always speaks first 😭
jeff, here along the Coast, they sometimes say a Yankee is anyone who lives north of I-10. It's all a matter of perspective.
In NJ once in a card store and started talking to the people in line . They looked at me like I was crazy . Love sharing in NC !
Dee Blah
In Texas, the larger cities South of I-10 are as liberal as it gets.
It's gotta be the salt water. East coast, west coast, and South of 10 are mostly liberal.
@@CM-ve1bz When we lived in Texas in the 90's, Austin was the most liberal place in the state. Coastal Mississippi (admittedly with some exceptions) still leans to the conservative side.
As a Northerner, I say please don't change!
Keep the south southern!!
Yankee
Yaelra R. Can we maybe get rid of the bigotry though?
Kara Higgason
There's so much bigotry in the South, but the riot's are in the tolerate liberal cities. Go figure
C M ikr. I live in a small town in Mississippi and the I’m gay. I live in constant fear
C M I mean I’m not gonna get hurt or anything, I’m just 14 anyway
Family is from NY I was born and raised in Southern California. Moved to the south a few years back, love it here. People are so kind and it’s nice to make conversation
Granny doesn't have time either??? The world must be ending 😂😂😍😍
Y'all did a really good job capturing the look and feel of the old, original Twilight Zone!
This was spot on!! It actually felt like I was actually watching the Twilight Zone.. wish the video was a little longer, I want more.
I approve of this message! Great video
Grits with no seasoning? No salt? No butter? That isn't the Twilight Zone THATS HELL!
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, hiking in the backwoods since age 8. First time I had grits was a couple of days into Basic Training. It seemed like Bland oatmeal, so I added a pinch of sugar, and some coco beverage powder. One of my Drill Sergeants (from rural Georgia) witnessed me eating it...
Truly shocked, he asked what I had done?!? He was appalled that I would Eat it like that! He appeared to be Nauseated!
He was a Tough, Taciturn Drill Sergeant, but to him, what I did was Revolting, so much so he didn't harass me for it.
Like most smart Trainees, I gobbled as much food as possible in the few minutes we had... "EAT NOW, TASTE LATER!"
I never did get used to Grits, and never ate them after graduating from Airborne School at Fort Benning.
I was waiting for the Psycho shower scene sound effect
Yep. Turns out you can absolutely mess up grits…
@@paladinsix9285 the chocolate’s a little odd, but there’s two camps of grits people: the butter/sugar folks and the gravy or cheese folks, who pretty much horrify each other. Somebody’s bound to be offended, if nothing else by the cement left in the bottom of the bowl. Instant grits don’t get the chance to cook out the gritty texture, so aren’t the best introduction to the dish.
You know I think that might be why I didn't like grits very much the couple times I had them.
HAHAAHAHAHA Welcome to New Jersey! such a daily thing. LOL
Omg Yes
YES!!!! Visited a country diner in New Jersey, this was EXACTLY what friendly looked like, and you certainly don't want to see unfriendly!
Southern NJ. North NJ would be worse. 😀
Northern New Jersey 👋that’s me
@@xoxoRiley-fl2nm Yep same here, Upper bergen county, the epitome of this video : )
This is just a normal day for us northerners.
Seim true dat!
Not where i live
No not really for me! I guess that’s what you get when you live in the Midwest
I know! So sad.
And westerners.
I moved from the south to NY a long time ago and that is what I felt like when I first moved there 🤣😃
Same....
This channel continues to set the bar higher with each episode. Well done y'all
I want to watch Twilight Zone for the rest of the night now! This was amazing. The style is exactly like a Twilight Zone episode. A lot of videos don't get the camera work and pacing right. Even the narrator's cadence was on point. This was a work of love for the original. Great job!
Why is everyone so rude and fast?
It's California. Lol
True statement. I'm born and raised in CA and can't wait to go to the south the end this month. Such a breathe of fresh air.
Sorry, it's all the traffic we have to deal with!!! When you live in perpetual traffic you learn to have road rage and move FAST
CA can also he the land of "Mannana" ( tommorow), as in that's why The Dude abides in LA.
Central California is not like that as much. This is an ag. region and a lot of people transplanted from the Southern states. The Coastal areas are a different matter.
nettieninjah I’ll second that. I was born and raised in southern California. Now I live in Tennessee, and the pace of life is slower aside from work, although a lot of other transplants like me are speeding it up little by little.
Nailed it! Rod Serling, the mood, music, camera angles... Good message too. I think my new fave. Amazing job team!💕
"when the south moves fast, it ain't really the south at all"
...so, it's Florida??
South FL maybe. North FL is a very different place.
When did Florida move fast ever? Ask a Chicagoan trying to drive in Florida.
Got that right. SMH
Southern California, lol.
OldSilkRoad Miami. Place is insane. It’s like driving on I-5 in Southern California. Except accidents everywhere.
GREAT satire! Kind of reminds me of my trips to New Jersey when I was growing up. Waitresses never smiled, they were always in a hurry, and one of the workers at a department store accused my mother of messing the coats up on coat rack....and one of the coats she was considering buying for me. We took our business instead to a discount store named Mr. Big, where we found a coat, and the worker there said it was a "SHOP-looking" coat. (Meaning sharp). She was probably from Long Island, because she had a New York City accent, but was nice like a Long Islander....and one of the few nice clerks I ever met at a store in Jersey.
This is just straight up one of the best parodies of The Twilight Zone!!! I’m from Scotland, but this was still so entertaining!
Even Scottish people can be entertained by Southerners, and vice-versa.
Y'all did a great job of capturing the feel of the Twilight Zone but I wonder if people who haven't lived in the south can really understand just how horrifying this is! Great job!
As a Southerner who moved to the Bay Area, I can testify (a) no one who has not lived / extensively visited the South / slow paced part of the US will understand and (b) I live in the katywampus zone every day here.
I had a family friend visit me here, and I needed to find this video for them. 😂
@@ConspicuousCreationI visited the South several times but never lived there, however in Minnesota we tend to be polite and don't interrupt people like that cashier did, that one stood out to me the most.
The storyline, pacing, cinematography, and music all match the original TZ series perfectly. You've outdone yourselves.
A short one is a nanny giving you an unsweetened tea and saying here is your broccoli no sugar for you!!!!
Wait do people put sugar on their broccoli... I’m confused and I live in the south
Shelby Reid sugar in tea.
Mel B no she is saying no sugar in this house!!
Shelby Reid no she is saying no sugar in this house!!
Shelby Reid I like broccoli and eat it often - but I have heard of putting just a pinch of sugar in with a bitter vegetable to make it taste better. Maybe I’ll try it next time.
That was amazing. Who ever wrote and produced that paid a lot of attention to detail. Very well done. I might not be able to sleep tonight. LOL. So good, and so true. I think I will stop complaining about things moving slow.
I’m a HUGE twilight zone fan and this sketch was impressive. It felt like I was watching Rod Sterling’s Twilight zone. Impressive work.
Lmao me at home Depot yesterday when the lady wouldn't make conversation during my purchase 😭
Laughing SEVERAL times throughout this. Not so much the dialogue as the PERFECT job imitating The Twilight Zone camera angles, drama, music, etc. Very well thought out and implemented.
GREAT JOB!!
"No self-respectin' Southerner uses instant grits."
- Maury Chaykin, "My Cousin Vinny" (1992)
FABULOUS movie!
@osp80 Yea, if it weren't for instant grits, I wouldn't get no grits at all.
James Anthony that’s what I thought of too!
Instant grits is like buying a frozen peanut butter sandwich at the grocery. If u can’t make real grits just move to Wisconsin and ear brats
Oh man those things are horrible
It actually looks, sounds, and feels like “The Twilight Zone”😎
Know what moves slower than the South? The Caribbean! (I speak from experience)
This was the best video ever!
Can confirm! Trying to get things done with Dominica but on New York deadlines? Recipe for a spiral into insanity.
Or Mexicans cause it's time hot to move
Gasp
I feel really bad for this girl, it's like moving north to a big city where everyone is in a hurry
D3lta Dean well that’s the way it is
At least up North people have a certain culture. They're rude with style. If Southerners were rude, it would just be ugly.
Am from NY & folks aren't just always in a hurry, just seems like it, so many people going every which-a-way at the same time 😆 ! By the way not everyone up North is rude as another commented (ThinWhiteAxe"). There's rude folks EVERYWHERE am almost certain...
@@msv6674 I know they're lovely people in their way, but often you have to get past a certain bluntness of manner which comes across as rude to many Southerners.
I’ve noticed a lot of people around the Richmond VA area are like these people. Short and rude. The north has invaded the south, again.
"Well, you can't mess up grits."
You've obviously never met my cousins.
Not kidding, I swear one of them BURNED AIR at one point.
HOW?!?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My cousin fried chicken. It was burned on the outside and frozen on the inside.
Mine has burned water I feel you ;-;
😂😂😂😂
@Hanna Curlee WHY WOULD SHE DRINK IT? 😲
Hun, I moved from the South to Washington state and I gotta say; I miss the southern way of life. Everyone talks quick and isn't real friendly here. You will never know your neighbor and no one trick or treats. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video and your other wonderful ones. My husband finally is beginning to understand me better now hahaha.
Gave you a round of applause :)
So, she was transported up North. Lol. I was born and raised in the North. I prefer the pace of the South. I'll never move North again. Sooooo much nicer down here!
I don't have time for this. I have to shovel the drive.
I moved to North Carolina from PA, and the people in the South are just as rude as the people in the North.
@@allnamesaretakenful Probably because so many people down here now are from the Northeast too.
Miniver765 amen
Priceless!!!!! You completely NAILED IT!!!! Excellent work, y'all!!!!
Bravo!!! That was great! But NO, I'll stick to people moving slow and making me late for everything. Less rude that way.
This whole episode was classic Twilight Zone to a T!! I can't tell all of you how much I loved & appreciated this!!
Shelby, that cinematic scream at 4:52, well done! Very authentic! Like those old school monster movies!
Talia is the best!!!
I *loved* it. Reminded me of The Birds.
All I could think of was my cousin Vinnie when she said "these grits are...INSTANT"!.....
That was the punchline. A bunch of commenters above yours think the set up line--"Nobody can mess up grits"--is the punchline. Scratching my head? Still, entire video is great. Very funny, very sad. I live in Northwest Arkansas, which is technically part of the South, but it's not part of the South.
Lol just like northern Illinois! I hate it here, were putting the house up for sale at the end of this summer and moving back home to southern Missouri!
Ya'll did a great job with this episode.
There should be a Southern Grammy award for this one.
