@@ConstantChaos1 That should make for some interesting conversations. My sister was nuts and she would talk about some of the strangest things. You just go along with it and everything will be fine.
@@lukeclodfelter347, it's interesting how the word hoagie is so universally ascribed in Jersey. If you asked for a hoagie in PA, they'd give you deli meats on bread with a splash of oil. Anything else is a sub.
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!
Small, but critical detail in the restaurant scene: did anyone else notice the waitress had water and not sweet tea? Sure sign you're in The Cattywampus Zone!!! OMG, absolutely loved the title, too: The Cattywampus Zone. Started laughing there, and didn't stop throughout!!
Mainer and I go out to play in the river, panning for gold. I adjust my butt, and apologize for splashing him, saying I had to move because my butt was pinched. *total dead stare* “Okay”. North and South in a nutshell.
When I got married we moved to North Carolina from D.C. I was so shocked when I would leave a phone message and people took 3 days to return the phone call! In D.C., they would call back that same day.
@@ickess Sounds like you're proud of attemptive murder. I've been to NY, most people I've met are totally chill and awesome. Maybe you need to take some deep breaths and reassess your priorities. ✌
@@msv6674 It's a generalized idea obviously, but there's a worldwide pattern. People in cities, are especially in hurry and rude because they actually can't spare time. The strict time schedule of offices will fuck up anyone. Towns or rural areas are often places where everyone knows everyone, and it's not that big of a deal if you are late.
Strictly speaking from a film making point of view, they did a wonderful job with camera angles and placement. The aesthetic y'all achieved was a perfect parody of the original series. I am very impressed. The subject matter was very funny as well of course, but I was impressed with the whole piece. Quite well done......Y'all did great!
It was there.. Just subtly. The FULL cold water glass tipped me off. I was like, "wait... where is the tea? Ooooh.... I see they didn't have time to brew it😂😂😂😂" but I agree, if it were pointed out it would have been hilarious
Born and raised in Brooklyn and moved to Southern VA after going to DC for college. After living here for 7 years, this is how I feel going back up North 🤣. People drive so fast you feel sure you are going to get ran over even though you are in a super sized SUV and they are in a Toyota Corolla. Once I’ve had my 9th anxiety attack I’m like, “I’m ready to go home” and I sure ain’t talking about Brooklyn!
@Joseph H. Camerlengo your parents were geniuses for moving so you could grow up there. NYC is for the birds. The prices for real estate make no sense and I have PTSD from subway rats and roaches.😩
I was driving in New York City a few years ago. I noticed the INSTANT a light turned green, somebody behind me would start honking and honking and honking...
Outside of NYC, the state is actually pretty chill and they'll talk your head off. I got lost there and the lady at a NY gas station gave me directions to a town about 200 miles away, also gave me her number in case I needed help again. She was an absolute angel.
The funny part was her giving me these very southern directions, "Go around this huge curve, looks like you're in the middle of nowhere, go waaaay past that, there's a store, Idk the name but it's got a bear on the sign, go a mile or two down and turn left then just keep on doing and there will be a field or ten, you wanna go waaaaay past that...." LMAO, I somehow made it and got a smartphone a week later. 😆😆🤣
I watch the Twilight Zone a lot, so I can officially say this needs to be on the TV show. Ya'll mastered the art of making it seem just like the show, complete with a black and white screen, a narrator that sounds freakishly like the one on the original show, the same music, and cinematography that matches the show to top it off. I love So true Ya'll, and this is just an amazing episode because it not only depicts what the South would be like if it were rushed, but it's a throw back to the classic TV show. Loooove it!!
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.
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
3 minutes in. This is the greatest thing ever uploaded to RU-vid. 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.
@@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. >^_^
First, let me just say...this was beautifully directed and we'll written. Secondly... I've lived in NYC for 20+ years and the South for 20 more and EVERYTHING in this video reminded me of NYC. Great job.
@@MsTammi125 I won't disagree, but the South is no better. In fact with its stronger heat, bigger bugs, and fake smiling people who stab you in the back, the South might be worse.
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
Moments With Claudeene As luck would have it, I’m looking to use up some extra bacon that needs to be used up! Will try this. Anything special one needs to do to help the cohesiveness in the skillet before frying them?
Moments With Claudeene , I do mine similar and put soft fried eggs on the fried grits and season with salt and black pepper ! Greetings from south Louisiana ! " ⚜
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.
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.
@@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!
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)
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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 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.
@@tinarogers2181 ... My mother-in-law is the only person I know that could cook instant grits and have them taste like regular grits. A true southern lady/cook.
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.
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.
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!!
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 :)
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.
@@Lillithina I'm a Yankee, and I LOVED this episode! It's impression was spot on. Sometimes I wished things moved slower in the North. No one is nice, not really. Just moving right along. The few times I've been in the South, everyone is so sweet.
Kate Hook I’ve been up north only a couple of times. I remember looking over at the people I was with in shock at just how uncaring and untrusting people were there!
@@Lillithina Yes, untrusting is an accurate description of the North. And uncaring because we "always have things to do", so no time to get caught up in pleasantries. It's sad, really. I try to always smile and ask people how their day is going. Most of the time they look at me like I have two heads lol. They're not sure how to respond, because no one ever asks. Of course, all this is in general, because there are a lot of nice people in the North. Just not as much as the South. The benefit of people doing their own thing, is they don't care what you're doing lol. But then again, if you were dying in the street, they'd probably step over you 🙄
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.
