I remember hearing in an interview that Seth MacFarlane as a kid listened to older 50-60's commercials and that was sort of the inspiration for Quagmire's voice. But considering he listened to them a lot it's no surprise it's so good.
In one episode Peter tells Chris: "At your age, I shared a beer with my uncle Roy" "I must have been really drunk, cause when I woke up my pants were off" "Never saw much of uncle Roy after that, turns out we weren't even related" So basically Peter got molested by Herbert/Roy as well. lol
The Raisin Bran commercial part was so spot on to how they were in the 50's I'm dead. Seriously look up any commercial from the 50's. It's so perfect. Lmfao
I watched a 10 minute video to see like 10 seconds worth of young Herbert lmao i done forgot i made dis comment and niggas still getting mad at me for not timestamping. i got yall doe its at 9:20
Just a suggestion, if you want to watch the clip in question, skip to the latter part of the video. More often than not, that's where it will be found.
@@mindriot91_96 "Groovy" would have been more around 1965 when introduced. "Gee that's swell" was more typical 50's jargon. A 1950's beatnick would say "man" after each word in a sentence. That's where Tommy Chong picked it up in the early 70's.
I feel like some raisin bran now, mainly because it has raisins which are grapes that have been dried in the sun for an long period of time; and bran, the hard outer layers of cereal grain. Along with germ, its an integral part of whole grains.
Now that you say that I too feel like having some Raisin Bran also because raisins which are grapes that have been dried in the sun for a long period of time; and bran, the outer layers of the cereal grain. Along with germ. It’s an integral part of whole grains.
@@benwahl2610 It's highlighting comparative sexism in the 50s specifically objectification or dehumanization of women, in this case they introduce Lois based primarily on her relation/importance to the man and give no more information on who she is as a person. She's the wife cause that's all women ever were in the 50s is the sort of feel they were going for I believe.
@@Thezfel101 Hey thanks for the explanation! I didn't know if I was correct but was pretty close to yours and I had to be sure. But don't forget about the most marginalized minority. Meg.
In his 25 years as an FBI agent working on some of the most famous cases in the nation and Chicago, Roy Martin Mitchell remained a taciturn man who specialized in persuading witnesses to talk.
@@christiancapezzuto8299 No you are thinking of Roy Mitchell from 3 towns over who was accused of all sorts of nonsense. That's Herbert, who isn't Roy Mitchell from 3 towns over who was accused of all sorts of nonsense.
I know your right man again because he is Herbert so he can't be Roy Mitchell from three towns over who was accused of all sorts of nonsense and then skipped town unexpectedly because again he is Herbert but if u see any news reports about and actor named Robert Reed from 3 towns over who was accused of all sorts of nonsense because again I am Mike Brady
The stiff introduction to the women in the workplace story "I am...a 1950's man...speaking in a stilted manner...seemingly with no self-awareness whatsoever. I am shouting....for some reason...and will suddenly be replaced by crude graphics" was spot on 😂. Some of the news anchors in the 50's and 60's spoke so awkwardly and looked so uncomfortable, they sounded severely constipated.
It was a completely new technology and people had no idea how to integrate/interact with it, similar to more recently when cheap recording cameras started becoming popular
@@seronymus Yeah, check out President Eisenhower's speech opening the new WRC-TV station in Washington, DC in 1958, first time a president was recorded on color videotape. Obviously very uncomfortable and unfamiliar with speaking on TV, today it would be crazy to think that a politician at that level wouldn't be, but only a little over 1/3 of households had a TV when he was first elected in 1952, so it just wasn't really a necessary skill
I love the Honeymooners reference. By the time my dad was born the show was already taken down. Thankfully he had all the episodes on disk. I watched so much of it, one day I'd like my kids to know who the Honeymooners are and make my dad smile by quoting some scenes.
Yes, we all know its not used to the quick joke, and then the "just..buy our product!!" Motto your so used to today. They actually used to give information about their product, I know someone so robotic as you wouldn't understand such a daunting idea. Go back to playing fortnite, maybe you'll realize how useless your basis for entertainment is too.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar I like how you made all those assumptions about my age, hobbies and what I'm used to based on a comment that gave no info whatsoever about any of those things
I remember when they had milk and bakery delivery door to door I remember when you bought soda and returned the bottles to be cleaned and refilled because it was hard to make glass I remember in the late 70s when plastic bottles came out I remember when McDonald's made their hamburgers fresh They toasted all the buns fresh and the meat took 3 minutes to cook by hand They had all fresh ingredients I remember when Wendy's and Burger King first started Burger King made everything fresh, slicing the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, all fresh, every morning The most awesome thing you could have was a big Mac that was sitting in the bin for an hour in the styrofoam containers, really, you don't know how good it was And whopper was awesome And the french fries were cooked in beef grease and it was incredible We don't have anything like we had back then
Ah yes. In our modern society, both the husband AND the wife work, so we can finally afford television sets. Sure, the modern family cannot afford a house, but at least we have TV!
B Hole I can't afford a house and I don't have any water to drink but at least I live in California. Nice weather here not too many bugs. Just a small problem with homeless people pissing and shitting everywhere. :p hahahahaha. Why did I marry this second California wife? I should have married a woman from Tennessee or Michigan.
I'm old enough to remember the bomb drills we did at school. Get under your desk with your ass facing the window. And the basement of my apartment building was a designated fall out shelter. They really tried to convince us that we'd survive a nuclear attack. If you were out on the street, the rule was, drop and cover. We'd all have been instantly incinerated.
@@abc456f An amazing blend of optimism and pessimism. "We're going to be bombed by a weapon that causes unprecedented destruction but as long we get underneath this picnic blanket we'll survive to see the irradiated wasteland left behind"
@@abc456f I was there with you, mr. j- we did those desk drills in the '50s, too- am I misremembering, or did they advise that if you were caught outside that covering yourself w a newspaper might be helpful??
I was sitting down watching this while eating raisin bran, Then the Raisin Bran part came on. I looked down at my bowl and was like "Nahh.. I'm too high for this"
There's an old guy in my criminal justice class who sounds JUST LIKE Herbert 😂 I mean, _Roy Mitchell;_ he's actually a cool dude; he's a Vietnam veteran (he was an air force MP ) and I'm an Iraqi war vet, so we get along and talk about how things were different then and how some things never change, etc., But he's one of those guys in class who are always asking questions and when there's a discussion going on he goes back to one of the many stories he has but they all start with "right before I went to the Nam" da da da da da, but it's Herbert the Pervert saying it lol thing is, he's a new Yorker, has a crew cut, and back then there was a height requirement of >5'10" to be an MP, so he's a bigger guy, and always wears a Vietnam veteran hat and/or shirt, wears those desert tan cargo pants like contractors used to wear when I'd see them in Iraq, and wears the old school black leather military boots, so he looks like his voice sounds like leather, cigarettes, and whisky, but then he surprises you when he starts talking like Herbert lol oh, another thing he does that makes it even fucking funnier is he unintentionally whistles his "S's" 😂 when he answers a question or puts his 2¢ in, he usually rambles on for about 10 mins each time, so when he does I just close my eyes and imagine Herbert is sitting behind me lol I've been seriously waiting for the right time to bring up popsicles and basements to him.
there was a similar requirement for marine mps when my brother joined in 06 (that or maybe everyone in his unit was big lol - they would've been big to me regardless since i was only a kid)
How? The joke of overexplaining commercials went on for so long that it just came off as annoying. It would have been funnier if it was a diet supplement made with cocaine because that is absurd and true, just like smokes for kids (or the ad gets cut midway through and peter, who heard it so often he memorized everything, still keeps rattling down the text after lois turned off the tv)
Meanwhile, Family Guy has had Peter and Lois brutally fight each other several times for a laugh and pretend like people beating each other up isn't funny.
@@jackross8075 Well, Seth Macfarlane is pretty much a textbook liberal so hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness is pretty much coin of the realm for him. I do have to give him credit for at least having Lois call Brian, who is practically his avatar in the show, out for this once.
How is that messed up, it refers to someone getting far away to a place distant and unreachable. Just another naive choice by your inability to understand an era, then using modern bias to make up another "that era was terrible" point. Maybe you would know the meaning of that phrase if you took time to not be useless.
@@177SCmaro You may find that the majority of people who work in entertainment and the arts are liberals. Probably because entertainment, music the arts are largely funded by liberals. This is neither new, shocking or provoking information to anyone alive today. Basically, if you watch TV or listen to music or participate in the arts, most of it was created by liberals. If this is troubling to you, you may want to stop watching TV or listening to music.
Family Guy makes me wanna punch the screen sometimes. That raisin bran bit, and other ridiculously long bits they do just because they know we'll keep watching anyway... it's geniusly fucked Aight peeps, have fun arguing, I'm out :p
Chocolate cigars and candy cigarettes were very common things found at candy stores in the 1950's. Candy cigarettes were still around as late as the 1990's.
Swiped directly from the Jetson's line "Jane, his wife" even though that show wouldn't debut until 1962. In 1956, Hanna Barbera were about to get fired from MGM when they were still doing "Tom & Jerry", and by the next year, they would set up a deal with Columbia/Screen Gems to form their own animation company.
