Old "Educational" films
 

I heard Jim Norton say probably the funniest thing on the radio today... It may not be that funny to a lot of people, but it hit me just right.

They were playing an "Educational" film from 1961 today called "Boys Beware". it was "to educate young men about the dangers of Homosexuals". In reality, it was about pedophiles, but i guess they didnt make that distinction 45 years ago.

Anyway, they had just gotten finished talking about one kid being told "off color jokes" as a way for the pervert to lure him in, and were joking about it (Opie and Anthony, it was in the film so it wasnt as dark as it sounds), and one of them asked what kind of jokes he was telling the kid.


Jim speaks up and says "Why did the chicken cross the road?


Kiss this or I'll kill your puppy."

I almost went off the road i was laughing so hard. that is about the most awful thing i have heard in along time, but it struck me as hilarious. Why are those old films so funny? They are homophobic, racist and anti feminist, but for some reason hilarious.


Do they still make kids watch film strips about herpes that were made in like 1970?

Something Weird Video released a bunch of these.

hmm. . . "kiss this or i kill your puppy?" brilliant! now i've got a new pick-up line!

Thats just fuckin hilarious

no way? i heard that too and some guy called up saying he was offended.

"Conjunction junction, what's your function?" :p Anybody remember that?

And, "I'm just a Bill, yes I'm only a Bill, and I'm sitting here on capitol hill." I used to sing that when Clinton was in office. :)
