You see, if this was me as an 8 year old, I probably would never figured that out and thought the message meant to keep drinking Ovaltine for more clues. Lol
A crummy commercial. Son of a Bitch. That is ( literally ) my favorite quote from Ralphie in this Amazing , Wonderful & Classic Movie. Thats also the kind of language I used when I was a kid to. Merry Christmas 🎅
For an eight year old, he uses his language mor appropriately than most teenagers today. I love how he only said FUCK when his father knocked the bolts out of his hand when changing a tire, as that is very important and stressful and something they NEED to change the tire. The only other time he swears is here, when his childhood radio character dupes him into an advertisement like its some kind of mystery game. VERY fucking appropriate use of language 😂
I met the receiving end of my dad's belt the day my second grade teacher called my parents to tell them that I had used a bad word. She didn't specify what and they didn't ask. The word? Butthole. Turns out that beating the fear of God into someone tends to make them polite, but that's very alienating in a world where everyone else swears like a sailor and you talk like a character from Barney & Friends.
I remember noticing that too. It also uses another piece of music common in SpongeBob and other cartoons (the love theme from Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet ballet) when Ralphie imagines his teacher giving him an A+ on his theme. (I happen to really like that piece of music, BTW). It also features the same music from an adaptation of Hamlet in several scenes. So they leaned heavier on adaptations of Shakespeare in the music than you mighty expect.
Ralphie’s mom: *heard this as she screamed in horror* *RALPHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* The next night............ Ralphie: *has his mouth with a soap bar Lifebuoy again*
That's just like a little brother. Never has to go to the bathroom any other time, but when you are in there, THAT is always the time when THEY need to go.
Why like not scary at all? *Ralphie cursed again I shouldn't be saying this but Son of a bich* Now what if his mom heard that you would know what would happen! Ralphie Angry?
Mrs. Parker: Ralphie! Randy’s gotta go! Ralphie: I’ll be right out, for crying out loud! Me: If Randy has to go, take him the bathroom at the nearest Texaco gas station! 😂😂😂
Back in the days before online shopping, you can mail order novelty items from magazines, comic books which a lot of them are cheap junk. The early Simpsons episode had Bart ordering a spy camera which actually works.
It was also used in the pilot episode of South Park where Stan sees his dream girl, Wendy Testaburger at lunch. Then Cartman starts picking on him. LOL.
Yup, and in the 50s and 60s as well houses had only one bathroom(at least most did.) How ironic if you think about it, considering large families, with like eight or ten children or even more kids were quite common in the early 20th century.
I watched this movie thousands of times during my lifetime and I just noticed (maybe) an Easter egg. When Ralphie is decoding the message, the first word he says is "Be" followed by an "S." "Be" and "S," or "BS." And of course, the secret message is just an ad. In other words, "BS." Get it? Maybe I'm looking into it too much.
@@MrJamieMurph4141969 And this film is set even earlier, around 1940 or so. Fun fact: my house was originally built some time in the late 1800s/early 1900s, but was expanded later on (some time between the 1950s and 1970s, I think), but it originally only had one bathroom that was relatively small. The expansion included a larger bathroom, however (in fact, I'm in it right now typing this comment on my phone). I'm glad to have two because it prevents situations like this. My family bought it somewhere between 1978 and 1980 inclusive, and I was born in the 90s, so I have lived in it my entire life to date. And fortunately, both bathrooms are on the ground floor. I can't imagine how annoying it would be for the only bathrooms to be on the second floor (like in this scene) or basement level.
I'm sorry but I got to say this. It kills me when Ralphie says - " Son of a Bitch " & the way he says it. IT'S HILARIOUS. MERRY CHRISTMAS RALPHIE !!! 👍🏻
One of the funniest scenes, There was actually one radio broadcast that became infamous here in Grovers Mill New Jersey that being Orson Welles broadcast of War Of The Worlds on Halloween 1938 which freaked the country out thinking it was a real martian invasion
Thing is, if you have the actual decoder pin (which was actually real thing, and they used a real one in the movie as a prop), and you write down what the guy on the radio actually says... And you follow the instructions EXACTLY the correct way (Ralphie does it the wrong way), the message is gibberish and actually says "WKBGAOKSPZWZVGA". What Ralphie does wrong is he writes down some wrong numbers and he also sets it to B12 instead of B2 like the radio guy said to do... If you do it Ralphie's way with the numbers that actually get said on the radio, it becomes "BESURHEIDNBNKUR" which starts out as the message he got, but quickly deviates.
the horror music was also in an episode of beavis and butthead where they were at the drive in theatre and got chased by the lady they saw in the back of a vehicle.
This scene is disturbing because the Song Footsteps of Horror was made in 1989 which is played in the scene and the movie was made in 1983, really scary.
Just to give you a whole another twist on that so-called commercial it's even better yet Villa Park there's a Historical Museum, the first factory in America was set across the street on Villa avenue I know this clip doesn't speak of him getting his decoder from Little orphan Annie but there is one in the movie .The truth is , in one of the clips he claims that orphan Annie was sending him the decoder and in fact it was Captain midnight. There is the whole display inside the Villa Park Historical Museum
Sounds like his mom was observant enough to know Ralphie didn't need to USE the bathroom, but was IN the bathroom because he felt he needed to privacy to write something down.
@@nikkicrue OK just checking! Lol! Ralphie said *Son of a bich* Probably because he was angry and he was In privacy with his kid brother bothering him same with his mom!

My reaction when a RU-vidr posts an emotional supposedly personal from the heart video and then suddenly they perk up and start telling you about this random crap they're selling.
