If Susan would've learned to use her anger to perform better during jump rope, she would've embraced the Dark Side and become a Sith Rope-Jumping Master! Do it! Embrace your hatred and complete your training Susan!
😂😂 My girlfriend & I once walked behind a remote news reporter when she said that to me. On the replay later that night, you could see the twitch of a grin on the reporter's face. What a pro! Didn't laugh. ✌️😂😂
The punching bag thing works pretty well. It works even better if you use those large punching bags instead, and kidnap the person you’re angry at and stuff them in the bag. Then punch your anger away! If your hands get sore, you can use a baseball bat or a crowbar, or a .22. Pete will never break a promise to you again! Ah, 1950’s conflict resolution and mental health exercises. 👍
@3:24 when she kind of collapses and puts her head on her mom's knees, my heart genuinely melted a little poor kid! Wait no wait I'm supposed to be laughing.
Having been a little girl at one time, I can say with trembling certainty that angrily telling another little girl that you are angry at them will in fact only make them angry, after which the two little girls are likely to become mortal enemies who plot revenge on each other until the day they both die.
Oh man this screams 50's attitude. My mom grew up in the 50s and has all kinds of stories about her own dad's anger issues. They had no idea of how to deal with it healthily.
Listen, I've been watching MST3K since I was like 6, then rifftrax since it started. Please never stop doing this, you guys are the bees knees. Ps Cambots existence drove me insane
So, Cambot gives you feelings of mental illness? Is there anger in your underlying feelings of contempt and hatred? Do you suffer from non-specific issues of doubt, despair and dread? Perhaps you're drinking too much coffee or chocolate that's putting your mental faculties on edge. I recommend a psyche evaluation, some Thorazine and a series of shock treatments. Then, to be locked away in a dark basement for a year. IT'S COMEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I recently had a panic attack, and it was terrifying. I woke up feeling angry and out of control, throwing things and punching my pillows. I was afraid of hurting my sister, who was visiting me, so I begged her to help me. I also felt like something was crawling on my skin, which I later learned is a common symptom of panic attacks. My sister came over, hugged me, and stayed with me until the ambulance arrived. The emt measured my heart rate at 230 beats per minute. He gave me meds to calm me down. There is more to this story but that’s not the point. I am frustrated with the short film because it failed to accurately represent the complexities of the human experience, especially when it comes to mental health with anger and panic attacks. However, I found comfort in comedians who used sarcasm to make sense of the short film. Their humor helped me see it in a different light and find some clarity. I'm sharing my story because I want to raise awareness about panic attacks and mental health. If you're struggling, know that you're not alone. This short did get one thing right and is what i did with my sister, telling someone what you are feeling is very important.
The more I think about this, the more I suspect that Susan here may have a last name of Atkins....Anyway, it's great to see the Three Riffers still together after 35 years (man, us original MSTIEs, we're all sadly getting old) and still going strong!😃
@@ChibiPanda8888 I know, right? MST started in '88, now it's 35 years later....I have no idea where the time went. Heck, I'm still watching The Film Crew episodes!
You can still tell its age, though. Susan talks things out with someone to calm down, but Paul's solution is to just hit something while pretending that it's the person he's mad at. Yeah, they also show another boy doing something non-violent to calm down, but that does stand out.
I figured this was gonna go very different. I thought it was gonna end up being a short about the belief that "Any conflict is bad and anything that stops the conflict is good, even if you didn't actually resolve the problem, you just stopped fighting." I'm glad I was wrong. But this was a great riff!
The idea that "anger is pressure, you have to let it out" was the leading psychological theory in the 1950s and '60s. People were advised to go somewhere they could yell and scream, punch a pillow, etc. It's since been proven that this is the worst possible way to handle anger. It makes you feel much better at the time, but in the long run it conditions you that being angry feels good. You're actually training yourself to fly into a rage at the slightest thing.
@James Scott Self Defense I don't think the immense complexities of human emotion being difficult to understand and address makes studying it "pseudoscience." By that logic, no antidepressants are real medicine because many of them don't work for some people while for others they do. A better way to say it would be, humans can't be put in a small box and analyzed like a chemical. There are just too many factors, and experiments essentially consist of simple observations since ACTUAL experiments are often considered war crimes.
Susan sure is channeling her inner Jan Brady 😂that's all I could see when she was raging Here, Susan it's the 1950s , take one of these pills and the rage will vanish

It does feel a bit off, huh? I always figured essentially any relatively violent activity would help because it releases your emotions in bursts of energy. Not as a sub-in for beating Pete's face in. Stupid Pete
I'm triggered by the title alone. I'm going to have to watch "R.O.T.O.R." and Samarai Cop just to cope. With a chaser of Truck Farmer and Hired to be perfectly safe...

Well, times change. Priscilla is now the Queen of the Desert.
The raging Ms. Blake 😡 from "Terror From the Year 5000" could really use this short's recommendations!

"It was time to go to UA-cam comments and tell classical violinists they're ugly"🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
OMG, I laughed so loud I woke up my family...
Bill's opening rant about the pretzel bag is spot on
This should be required viewing for anyone before they get to post UA-cam comments.
It should be required viewing for everyone at, say, age six or seven and then a refresher or two down the road.

"Don't get angry" was good advice when you're working for Stalin.

Then one of them turns into the older sister from "Social Acceptability".
"Man, if Marion ends up dead you know who did it!"
Yeah, honestly most of this advise is decent but whoever wrote that one should have been fired immediately.
@@chrisc6857, I also question the one about imagining (and enacting) beating up the person you're mad at.
Is it possible for two villains to share the same origin story?
I got rid of my anger once but I used up all my tape, lime and garbage bags.
Lime doesn't actually work (lying mystery novelists). You need to use a 55-gallon drum filled with lye to guarantee proper disappearance.
Still, this short provides better psychological guidance than Dr. Phil...
Can't argue with that
True that.
Or diet advice.

Yeah that's what separates the 50s from the 80s.

Yes, "primal scream therapy" seemed like a great idea at the time but was shown to increase people's blood pressure even when they were relaxed.
I said in another post what a big influence Psychoanalysis was back then; it counters the stereotype that everyone in the 50s was a repressed zombie.
