people used to really offer Lucky Strikes to other people. Like THIS was a gesture of kindness/consideration/politeness. "A non filtered cigaret." "Three more you got lung cancer."
I love when you comment on these old films. That's how I discovered your show in 2010 when I stumbled upon, "what makes a great party", from 1950. I can't believe all of Jimmy's characters were in that film.
You say that old joke but these PSAs are sorely needed in our day with people acting like animals and thee insane rudeness and uncivility of cancel culture.
Ant your commentary is by far one of the best of all time, a true man of the days, your going to go down a legend, your one of a handful that can truly entertain, thanks Ant
It’s so interesting to hear how the timber in an announcers voice has changed from then till now. Like the announcer in the Hindenburg disaster, how he pronounced the words.
If dopie was there the cunt would say "alright we gotta(candy crush noise) take a break" at the best moments! So glad ant is doing his own stuff ✌️🖖🏴
I find this funnier than I probably should because it's just Ant talking to amuse himself. There's no badinage with a comic, just him essentially talking to himself and making off the wall comments in response to an archaic video. Everything he said cracked me up because it was all so unnecessary.
Man, there's no way people were courteous like this back then, either. Hell, the kids that had to watch this in school at the time were probably bored as hell, wondering when they could sneak out to go smoke.
The median income in 1948 was $3200 per year. Approximately 1.1 million families had a household annual income of $10,000 or more. The US population in 1948 was 146.6 million, so 1.1 million represented .75% of the population. The income levels you cited would have applied to an even tinier fraction of the population at that time. Trying to draw a blanket comparison between nominal income levels and tax rates between now and 1948 requires a few more levels of analysis which you failed to do in your effort to push your socialist agenda.
@@KayFabe87 Socialist? Hardly, i am an Adam Smith disciple. $3200 income was taxed at 22%. 1948 was a time of progressive, socialistic policies by both parties. Those tax rates existed with minor changes in Kennedys time up until Reagans presidency. You need to stop wishing for good old days, you might get them.
Anyone showing courtesy nowadays might be accused of "exercising dominance" over whoever they are trying to help...like holding the door open for someone...
Hey Ant, you can shut up from time to time and let the clip speak for itself. You don't need to let out a quip every couple seconds. Quality over quantity. Kinda getting Opie vibes here.
@@adriennem3168 Lol I know right? "Hey let this shitty clip from 70 years ago play out by itself, don't say a single word especially involving quick wit I want this thing to play out on it's own."
