"Y'know Mary Jo, the great thing about being an adult is you can exclude those you don't like."
😂🙏
"Ah-greed!"
Assuming one stays off social media, anyway.
it's funny because it's true
Except your in laws 😆
"Oh Mary Jo, don't be so common..."
"Something's bothering you. Care to cry on my shoulder?"
That line was so 50s that my phone turned into a ham radio.
A ham radio? I hope you're not Jewish!
i really appreciate them releasing a bunch of stuff to the public. this stuff is hilarious
The "Friends" Subscription on their website is worth it, I think. Only like $6 bucks a month for hours of entertainment. Mostly shorts, but plenty of full-length movies.
@@mzdtmp2 Oh, I agree. I just wish I HAD the money necessary to subscribe on their site. Cuz, obviously I don't promote piracy. I know it's cheap, only $6, a month; and I do legitimately love watching RiffTrax, no matter who it is, whether it's Mike, Kevin, or Bill, shoot, even if it's the motherf**king Nostalgia Critic and his brother. They're all under the RiffTrax umbrella. As a family. We're like a certain squad. We never leave one of our own behind. But those shorts, and full-length movies, ARE most definitely worth it, because these guys are ALWAYS hilarious, just the best at what they do. They're an inspiration, for having gone on so long. It's very inspirational. I've been watching their stuff since MST3K, as a kid, but only reruns. But I loved the idea of 2 people, a robot, and what looked like a desk lamp, all sitting down, and making fun of movies, and the guests they'd have, like Weird Al, were also amazingly hilarious(although Weird Al is ALREADY a god of comedy/music/parody), but I'm glad to hear Mike, Kevin, and Bill are still going strong after who knows how long. Much respect to them, and I someday hope to be able to donate some money to their official site. Sorry for the long message. I just usually do that quite often.
10:42 - It's not hard to become class president when you've repeated senior year for the eighth time. That bald spot just screams authority, experience...
Hey, high school was the best 15 years of my life!
How dare that girl have obvious problems socializing with other people. What a snob she is, clearly trying to exit her comfort zone by actually attending the party!
The dude who hosts the party needs to be tripped into a mud puddle.
If you see enough of these films you know that the "snob" actress is also "The Gossip" and the actor lecturing her is also "The Troublemaker." Which makes thing even more confusing.
Damn, you're observant. If youre like me, watch enough of these films and the white people tend to blur together after a while
She was also "The Outcast" in her slightly younger years.
"The Troublemaker" is also one of the good guys in "What About Juvenile Delinquency?"
lol, the one with the demon eyes.
@@AshenDruid So you're saying they all look alike? What kind of racist crap is that? I'm reporting you to UA-cam!
In the best tradition of these shorts, all of the "young people" are closer to a midlife crisis than they are to prom night.
That's what teenagers dressed and acted like in the 50s.
Ha!!! Loved that comment of yours.
I swear, the teenager and his mom at 3:15 look to be the same age
This is my favorite comment of the year so far...
@@robokill387 Plus people aged _horribly_ back then.
Every time I see the is short I’m always on Sarah’s side here. She’s introverted and studious, but for the time not being a conformist was a bad thing. Poor Sarah
I agree, but it wouldn't have killed her to go to a next door neighbor's house for a little bit.
Especially since the guy was someone she had a bit of a past with, but I have social anxiety and panic attacks, so I'd probably stay home too.
I wonder what my friends Mike and Bill would think about this ;)
Sarah’s parents remind her to just ignore the giant seed pod underneath her bed
Maybe, but she also says she's smarter than everyone else and she is being a snob by turning down that guy who asked her to dance in a cruel way
This kind of conclusion is what is wrong with boomers and the generations that have come after them. Subconscious cries for help are not answered because we're scared we might convince someone to self-reflect for 3 seconds and maybe come to conclusions they may not like. Introverts are now losers, miserable, dysfunctional and helpless, but that's okay, because "they're not harming anyone." Because the people around them are not allowed to help, the ONLY solution left is drugs and paying someone 100+ dollars an hour to be your friend, who is professionally qualified to state the obvious.
Sarah is not a nonconformist, she is accurately described as a snob. She is JEALOUS of her classmates and hates them when they do well. She thinks she is better and deserves better than them.
However, Sarah is not one-dimensional. She is shown to be mistreated by her classmates, as well.
You are not supposed to be "for" or "against" Sarah. The point is to think about what you want in your relationships and whether or not your actions are helping you have that sort of relationship.
Sarah's actions are NOT helping her to have the relationships she wishes she had with her classmates, but also, some of her classmates actions are NOT helping them have the relationship with Sarah that they want. It is not about choosing a "side". Both "sides" are missing their targets...
wow I can't believe the girl who gets harassed at school and didn't want to go to the party is upset and uncomfortable at the party, especially since that one fellow was so kind to yell at her and call her a snob. unbelievable.
Equally shocking, I hear there's illegal gambling at Rick's Cafe Casablanca. :)
Not to mention trying to physically force her onto the "dance floor."
@@richmcgee434 At least she's not an anteater....
it's almost like the way her peers are quick to condemn her for the slightest wrongdoing might be off-putting in some way, lmao
@@AmyLSacks and that guy going out of his way to insult her in front of the entire party, shit like "you TOTALLY wanted it, you're just too much of a BITCH to admit it!!!" ....all while Ron just fucking stands there, too
In the 50s, peer pressure made you a snob, in the 80s peer pressure made you say "just say no", and in 2021, peer pressure made you more of an asshole than them. So, that sums it up.
Geez, there's just no winning, no matter what decade peer pressure is in, is there?
@@shawnfields2369 Maybe the Stone Age.
@@mrmonty86 Eh, maybe. If you're a queen of the Stone Age, or a member of an exclusive group, or something, like The Justice League, or The Suicide Squad, or even the Avengers. Being part of those groups doesn't really count as "peer pressure", does it? I mean, I'd love to be part of those groups and help save the f**king world. But, I still like your comment anyways, dude, and you make a very, very good point. I completely agree with you, and not out of peer pressure, but of my own free will. You seem like a nice person.
@@shawnfields2369 Thanks.
@@mrmonty86 Sure. You're welcome.

Quit calling me "Pumpkin!" you freak!

Always.
"He's asking the dog" got me. I have been far too stubborn in only watching mike, kevin and bill Rifftrax. I've been humbled. This actually feels a lot more like old school MST3K to me. The ladies are more chill and having a lot more fun, I think.
If there's one thing I love about MJ&B's riffing is they're a lot more relaxed, while MK&B always seem to be on edge.
"Are THEY happier than you are!?"
I don't know if Sarah is right in being a snob, I don't know if Ron is right in being concerned with the welfare of Sarah being a snob, I don't know if the whole group is right in pre-judging Sarah being a snob...
All I know is that it was worth it just for Mary Jo's Fonz impersonation. Thanks very much Mary Jo and Bridget... and guest star Kevin.
Almost spit out my water when I heard Kevin chiming in!
When you record at Kevin's house, he could appear at any time :D
When the father listened to everything she said, seemingly with compassion, and then responded with "Why can't you just make friends?" I wanted to fling my phone across the room.
Well...he was kinda telling her to stop hating literally everyone just because she thinks she's better than them.
@@ZehnWaters DOES she really think she's better than them, though? It seems like her attitude is more a response to everyone's judgement towards her. She's an outcast, so she's doing her best to convince herself that she doesn't care and dislikes them right back.
@@elsie8757 I think it started before that. As the boy points out: she got really good grades in Junior High but in high school she started to fall behind. This attitude was likely a defensive reaction to the realization she wasn’t just going to always be better than everyone.
@@elsie8757 My own experience was that I wanted to _do_ things: not just hang out, use my brain! Learn a new language, musical instrument, wood-working,,,, ANYTHING!!
This got twisted by the others _into_ my being a snob.
@@ZehnWaters OK, the "Peaked In High School" contingent has chimed in.
Ok I have to say this: she's not a snob, she just sees through people and notices how stupid they are! I'm with her! I guess I'm a snob too! 😂
Yup me too!
@@nonprofitgirl ❤
Definitely not a snob in by book
@@Stevie-J 😆true
Well, seen _that_ way, it's "my immaturity is based on different considerations than yours." This wouldn't be bad except due to a cultural lack of tolerance for anyone or anything outside of a VERY restrictive norm, we end up spending all our time defending our stance to the only person who will listen, ourselves, thus leading to more immature acting out.
Another winner from Mary Jo and Bridget. I feel so sorry for Sarah in this. Mercilessly bullied and insulted by her judgmental peers, and guilt-tripped by rigid, unsympathetic parents, she needs a friend to care and listen.
As someone who identifies with her 100%, I can promise that she'll never ever get that friend, and will be lonely and unloved for the rest of her life.
Sarah Inman is my hero!
Her peers aren't the only judgy ones; it's clear she _does_ think she's better than them. She outright says as much.
It's a shitty situation all around, but Sarah isn't blameless.
Mind, the parents' solution of dropping her into a big party seems like worse than doing nothing.
I think she's cute and I want to protect her from the ta-ra-ra-goon-de-ays from the 1950's.
@@alkristopher As someone who does as well, are there any possible ways out?
"Those algebra-haters!" - Good for you, Sarah, don't lower your standards.
Algebra was taught in 7th grade when I went through school. Shouldn't these prats be up to pre-calc by now, or at least trig?
Ooh, maybe that's why she wants to study so much, she's actually failed math multiple years running and is desperate to catch up so she can graduate on time.
And how!
@@richmcgee434 I mean algebra is a college class too, not everybody's at the same level
I like to do homework on Friday nights too!
Yup! Waiting on tables, billing, boxing and delivering...and they cry when they are renters for life. So "Americano!"
Bridget (snobbily): Oh, Mary Jo, don't be so common
I seriously came here for that quote lol
I love her just the way she is!
Ikr! Why doesn't the world want bookish introverts anyway? I think I'm offended....
I'm with y'all, absolutely.👍
Liking people for who they are wasn't allowed in that era.
Holy unexpected Steve Martin reference, Batman. That was a deep cut. Well played!
that reaction of her being called a snob is fantastico and i'm so grateful for you catching it. the comedic timing is what makes Rifftrax the best!
"I'm gonna go make a pizza" slayed me.
This was me in school. My divorcée mother would occasionally pay me to go out.
As an adult, she said I "embarrassed" her at work because the other parents have kids who make mistakes. Sorry I failed to provide adequate grist for the rumor mill, ma.
You embarrassed her by not embarrassing her?
@@Hollyberrystreats Pretty much.
As an introvert, I can totally relate to Sarah. At school I was picked on a bit for staying on the fringes, and found that people would come up with their own characterizations of me that were nowhere near who I was, but since I preferred my own company, I never really corrected that. Being made by the group to “have fun” was, and is, unbearable.
I was called "f**got" and "ret*rd" on a daily basis. I couldn't wait to finish high school and get away from those teen-aged fascists, all of whom I can picture as now being foaming-at-the-mouth MAGA maggots.
meh. I got all "A's" and double promoted too many times. Do you recall the nomer "fairy?" Are you old enough? In a blue collar neighborhood, that's all it took.
I love this girl and support her evil plan to rule the world through derisive staring.
She just wants to study!
Irritability is a demonstrable side effect of depression. Being a teenager kinda sucks as it is.
And pointing out how other people are happier can exacerbate how you don't feel that way.

And from one of his Albums no less.. I had that LP as a Sophomore in HS. Listened to it I bet 50 times or more.
I took a break mid-video to listen to Grandmother's Song. :)
“Let ‘em hear you outside”! (That album is etched into my memory!)
man this sucked as someone who's Neurodivergent. Sarah doesn't get people, so she goes with what she's good at, studying. They call her stuck up for it, so she makes herself feel better by getting superior about it. She's trying to live her life and everyone at her school insults her for not being 100% ready to drop everything to talk to them.
Teenagers being teenagers. Someone needed to go to her at the party and say "You're not really enjoying yourself, is there something we can do to make you feel more welcome?"
It's a two-way street, and if you listen to the discussion questions at the end, they cover each of the types of people, which are Sarah, Ron (Sarah's friend), and "the group" (the classmates).
Sarah is not "just trying to live her life". There are indications that she DOES want to improve her relationships with her classmates and that she doesn't truly want to be left alone. She DOES have issues with jealousy. Her feelings are not always fair towards others.
On the other side, her classmates are not always fair towards Sarah. They are quick to take offense at her actions when she is not trying to offend anyone.
The discussion questions are there to get people talking about all of these issues, as well as to discuss how Sarah could help herself, how Ron (a friend) could help her, and how the behavior of "the group" could make things better.
"'cause if you're not, I'm your guy...". Hahahaha! This is great. Thank you for this, gang!
"Do you like keychains?"
I am laughing way too hard at that line lol As always great job by MaryJo and Bridget
What parent ever, in the history of parenting, ever had the "Why don't you have more fun, and quit being so studious?" conversation? Gee Whiz!
Well, never, but my parents' generation regularly saw women being discouraged from seriously pursuing academics. My mother was told being an intellectual would make it impossible to get a man to marry her, and one of my aunt's teachers had a "conference" with her parents about how concerned he was that her studies might result in her winding up a spinster or worse, a lesbian. Neither one of them was ever encouraged to have fun though. Just told to be "more like other girls" and make nice (but not too nice) with the boys.
And I say that as though that sort of thing isn't still the norm in some families 60-odd years later. Sigh.
@@richmcgee434 Yeah. It's funny to contrast this epic with the "Looking Ahead" short (riffed by Josh Way, who also wrote for RT). They keep exhorting the male protagonist to study hard, make plans, and bring his grades up.
This is so great. I love the Mary Jo and Bridget ones
If you're taking requests, Bridget and MJ should *totally* riff "Beaches"
That would be one of the best riffs ever!
That and all of the other "chick movies" that Mike and the bots tease each other about watching during the end credits of Alien from L. A.
Yes, yes, yes!

Holy shit, god forbid you had a personality in the 50s!
Regarding the possession of a personality, in the words of Sarah Inman, "I'd rather not!"
So being a snob = having a personality?

@@melissamarcott1059 Of course. Having a snobbish personality = snobbish

Me: “Ew.”
I used to stay up late to catch some of the movies they riff. Now I don’t have to
apparently no body at this school has heard of focusing on something so hard that you block out the world
Y'know, it really seems more like everybody else's problem than hers.
Yes, but you see: the crowd is always right...
Plus, as I understand it... being different from your peers in the 50s meant you were totally a *dirty commie*, so... 🤷♂️
How so? They're all having and doing better in school than she is, while she is constantly stewing in hatred and seething with jealousy knowing that they are all happier and more successful than she is.
They are worldly sinners, brainwashed and conformed to the world
@@vlo4829 I have to agree. These ''kids'' seem like pretty nice people, honestly. The one girl that's really bitchy towards Sarah is only acting that way because she thinks Sarah views everyone else as 'lesser'', and to an extent she's correct in that analysis. Hell, the guy that she loathes, (for no reason other than he was successful in something she was not) goes out of his way to be nice to her, and she just snaps at him.
This whole short comes off like the girl is a genius being forced to conform to a dumb society.
I want to make watching this short while doing algebra homework my weekly Friday night tradition.
The example of a serious ideal student that we had held up as a goal we could never achieve. You can almost hear the projector clatter, can't you?
The creepy kid who calls her a snob is the same actor in 'What About Juvenile Delinquency' whose very face made Mike cry.
It took me all of about two seconds to say, "Hey, isn't that the guy whose eyes turned into a black hell portal?"
"Pumpkin, just go do drugs. Please!"
That's advice for the next decade, not the Fifties.
So....if your socialy awkward, busy,smart or shy you are a snob? Does that mean I'm a snob because I suffer from social anxiety and hate talking to people or going to parties and would rather be by myself? Hmm I have a lot to think about in my snobby tower.
Ikr? It's awful. (But welcome to the 50s, I guess 🤷♂️)
The more I learn, the more dystopian it sounds...
Okay, she literally hated everyone, though. It's implied she started it first.
@@ZehnWaters I can't blame her, they all kinda suck.
But she does have an attitude I agree but honestly I don't think that makes her a bad person, what (* cough*30 year old*cough*) I mean..teenager doesn't?
@@amberlytheharpyqueen True. But it's not just social awkwardness. She straight up told someone off for merely succeeding where she didn't, and then having the audacity to be nice to her.
@@ZehnWaters I don't think we're getting the whole story here. I suspect Sarah started to fall behind and wasn't great at a lot of things. She tried working harder but she still suffered from mediocre grades (e.g. flunking the History test.)
This caused her to double down with her being more absorbed in her work and less aware of her social groups which lead to people treating her as an outsider. Enough events like the angry girl in the hallway (whom Sarah may not have even known) could lead Sarah to believe that everyone hated her causing her to be more standoffish which people perceived as snobbery.

Good one. That is what I thought of right away as well 😆🤘

I want to see Sarah's yearbook cover design. I bet it really *was* better than that other one. For real, all these shorts which claim to teach co-existence and "getting along" always have their thumb so heavily on the scale in favor of the blandest conformism possible. Even with riffs, they're hard to get through. :/
It bugs me that the mom encourages her to NOT study/do her homework right away, and rather "have a good time." What kind of weirdo parent does THAT?!
She just traced the cover of her math book. Stop encouraging snobbery.

Ahh the 50's...when you either looked like one of the Little Rascals or 45 years old lol
11:52 she’s literally about to apologize and the stupid guy gets in front on her, antagonizing her, making her close off again Jesus
"...and thanks for comin' to Youth Group!" I'm dead
It seems like the boy who asked her to dance is trying to reach out to her and be friendly. She probably secretly wishes she had friends,. Her defense is to regard others as not as good as she is, for instance her response to not getting her drawing on the yearbook cover. Her shutting them out most likely leaves her unhappy and lonely. Maybe her neighbor's party was a wake up call. She doesn't have to be like everyone else, or do everything they are doing, but she could at least be cordial.
No no no. You need to project your own awful childhood and lack of maturity onto this video and conclude that Sarah is just neuro-divergent and doesn't need to evolve in any way.
Sounds like that was your childhood! (Just kidding and having fun with it like you did!)
@@bobmcbobbington9220
Today I learned that being neurodivergent (and having social anxiety/depression) is snobbery. Gee, thanks 50s.
No, this girl just needs to learn to get over her inflated insecurities. She’s not a victim.
Seems the 50s are alive and well in Pennsylvania 🤦♂️
Jokes aside, yes, she's very insecure. But "stop acting a victim and get over it" is exactly the kind of old-timey blunt-force unhelpful thinking that Patrick is pointing out! But neither of you think she's a snob, so, you agree there at least.
This does go a long way to explaining our elders attitude towards us though. We're all snobs, or some other thing

@@carsonheschle642Aw man, I'm sorry to hear that! That stinks. I'm glad to see other people making this connection though.
ADHD is my main struggle (undiagnosed until a couple years ago, when I was 19.) I definitely relate to Sarah's homework issues, both in the past and with my college work. I usually manage to get good grades, but it takes up pretty much all of my time and energy, no free time. (That first semester nearly killed me, man.) And yeah, extrovert parties will never be my thing. But that's okay.
YES the ladies! Love it. Also yes, turning down someone you don't want to dance with is being a snob...really 50s
But don't you see that she really *did* want to dance? How could she have possibly said "No"? 🙄
@TheRuffington lol
Sarah wasn't a snob but just shy. The girl who gave Sarah a hard time for not acknowledging her was the snob.
This is my first RT with Mary Jo and Bridget and it was real funny!
I'm confused. Is Sarah supposed to be the "bad person" here? 'Cause it seems like all the other characters are bullying and pressuring her to do or be something she's not. But I guess it was the '50s and if you weren't like Everybody Else, then you were some kind of depraved person.
Pretty much. The Red Scare, a lack of knowledge about mental health (and/or neurodivergency)... poor Sarah was a victim of circumstance.
when was she being bullied?
by her mother, father, the bitches in the hallway. I'm surprised the bitches didn't knock the books out of her hands.
The film leaves it up to the viewers to decide. If you want to apply modern day perspectives to a ~65 year old film, you could also look at her parents as being concerned about Sarah's poor work-life balance and social isolation, neither of which is great for the mental health of a minor. Their approach is batshit insane from a 2021 standpoint, but might have seemed less crazy in the Fifties. Kids back then didn't really have social lives outside of interacting with their schoolmates and whatever age-group peers were in their neighborhood (who often went to the same school anyway). There was no internet to reach out on, and having access to a car (or at least a ride) in high school was much less common even in the middle of the decade. Having you life "managed" by your parents (at least in part) was more of a norm back then, for better or worse.
I'd say you're overestimating the amount of uniform groupthink prevalent in the 50s to some degree, but there were certainly a lot of efforts to engineer conformity, partly by the government and partly by self-appointed "guardians of public decency" - which usually translates as uptight religious nuts. This film is part of that, but at least it calls on the viewer to draw their own conclusion instead of presenting a purely one-sided situation. Better than some of the trash from this era.
@@sgtmajor5700 her parents never bullied her, the mom just suggested that she go to a party and try to have fun and socialise. The Dad essentially asked if she was happy ignoring all the other kids and if the other kids were happier and the two girls didn’t bully her either one girl pointed out she had a new sweater yes one did call her “Her Royal Highness” but the other girl genuinely complimented her , so did the other girl when Sarah walked past, but it seemed that Sarah was ignoring her which was why the other girl got upset with her. So no she wasn’t bullied.

Mother is trying to stop that independent woman awakening in its tracks, and ensure that she ends up like her, a stay at home wife who is obedient to her husband. And learn that they will be a swift backhand if she ever tries to rebel against the patriarchal system.
As I suspected, the Mom is the True Hero of this story. Conformity rules.

WTF so the message is to be a sheep like everyone else. Dont work hard, especially if your not naturally gifted, or endowed. And dont like the things that you like, instead like the things everyone tells you to like. Eesh, must have sucked in the 50s to be an individual and independent. Though I bet Sarah would grow up to be the CO of a big company.
"SUBDIVISIONS.....in the high school halls, in the shopping malls, conform or be cast out! SUBDIVISIONS.....in the basement bars, in the backs of cars, be cool or be cast out!" - the message of this short, basically

If you have emotional issues, make sure not to make friends. That will help. Make sure to dwell on your problems and never address them. I know people here, reading this, watching these videos aren't 14 anymore, but you all sure fooled me.

A McGraw-Hill production? I guess Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have aged well from these days!
The guy next door got it right. It's not actual snobbery. She's been outclassed in her new environment and puts on a defensive posture that appears as if she thinks she's better. Her parents could encourage her to get some help with her coursework and better figure out what she's good at, but they focused instead on the social aspects, which is a shame.
Heavens, you can't focus on your grades and future! Go out there and make me some grandkids!
"Dear, I know you're concerned about your education, but that's not going to impress the future father of our grandchildren...." - Sarah's parents, basically
5:45 - Golly gee willikers whyever in the sam hill would Sarah want to stay away from these people?
To be fair, almost everyone in this film is a snob.
@@ZehnWaters Including _moi_ . Thank goodness I had the good sense not to be in it.
How dare that (REDACTED) not want to hang out with people who radiate contempt whenever she's around! A degenerate like her should be _grateful_ to be Rons charity case!
@@mfitzburger5137 according to Ron she started it. Judging by how she treats her mother at the beginning of the short I believe it.
The best video about living with autism I’ve ever seen. As true now as it was then. Turns out the old pejorative for us was “snob.” This is literally an instructional video teaching masking to autistic teens and how they’re terrible people if they didn’t.
On the positive side this little horror show explains the neurotypical viewpoint of how they see us and why they naturally hate us just for existing, which I’ve been trying to figure out for decades. Directly asking didn’t help because the answer was always “You’re just asking that because you think you’re better than us!” That’s when I ACTUALLY started thinking I was better than them. And I was right.
Laughed so hard. Too funny! Thank you! 😂
Geez! At the end of this film when the boy called her a snob -- her horrified reaction, the sudden loud, creepy music -- I thought I was watching a scary movie! Halloween isn't until October, folks!
Why do all these teenage boys look like they are in their thirties.
Clothing and hair.
Before Social Security was a thing, people just stayed in high school until they died.
The fact that one of them has visible bald spots doesn't hurt.
@@ZehnWaters and reality 😂
@@Slopmaster That too. lol I've seen old yearbooks, though. They dressed like mini adults.
"Some movies have it coming"
This sounds like one of them.
3:13 I didn't know that Glen Campbell did educational films 😂😂
I think they ate those pot brownies and partied till dawn naked! 🤪🤪🤪
As someone who was (still is) studious, introverted, ambitious, and not interested in trends for trends' sake...this is a big oof. I don't think I had Sarah's attitude of "I'm better than them", but I did get friction from my parents who didn't understand that I was perfectly happy to stay in and read on a Saturday night. The "aren't they happier than you" line really hurts
In the short (not saying it applies to you) they WERE happier than Sarah. It's probably not perfect advice, but she IS going to have a difficult time in her life if she remains incapable of the most basic human interactions.
Herk Harvey also directed Shake Hands With Danger.
I can hear the guitar riff right now.
...and "Carnival of Souls"!
“I’m gonna go make a pizza...” is one of the things I think daily. Ha!
“The house where the kids hang out”
These days the parents involved would be under investigation to see if they were running a child sex trafficking ring. Whether that era was innocent or just plain stupid is hard to say for sure, too much whitewashing over the years.
Sweet! A Mary Jo & Bridget short!
The Snob: The Brad Jones Story
Back in my day, we didn't have introverts! But we had a lot of snobs for some reason...
That's right baby add those integers 😂
Ah, the memories of being called a snob because I didn’t want to associate with the assholes who were popular. My idea of a good time was to be alone and reading a book, perhaps visiting Middle Earth again....
Some of us just don’t have the herd instinct.
Girl wants to do her math homework instead of going to a party she doesn't want to go to - there MUST be something WRONG with her!!!!!
So many people seem to misunderstand the video and assume we are supposed to think Sarah is bad. That's not true at all. They purposefully show how after genuinely not hearing the girls compliment her, the girls immediately berate her. We are supposed to sympathize with Sarah and understand that the girls were being unfair. However, we are also supposed to see that Sarah is bitter and jealous of her classmates. She resents them for getting better grades, for winning offices and the yearbook picture, and for being happy and having friends. She IS rude. She is cold and pops off quick, and so do they. The discussion questions are supposed to elicit these things and also make kids think about themselves and their peers: If they are a "Sarah", recognize what attitudes they possess that may be holding them back. How they self-sabotage and bring about their own feelings of isolation and misery rather than pretending it's everyone else who is the problem. If they know any "Sarah"s, they should consider how being more patient and understanding might ease tensions and think about how gossip and snark will only make a "Sarah" feel attacked and become more insular. Neither Sarah nor her classmates acted in ways that were conducive to what they really wanted from one another. THAT's the point.
But getting to that point involves actual critical thinking, and no one who's in the middle of watching UA-cam videos has time for that.
As a Sara, I feel called out.
The moral of the story is high school is hard
So basically the ‘50s version of Daria?
Daria was likeable and had a couple of friends.
Hey, let's not get carried away now
Oh brother. I'm not sure she's a snob. Maybe she just doesn't like cliques, bullies, parties and the fake student body stuff.
If anything, she's much closer to the average person than the popular kids. Those guys are really intense in pep assemblies but most of us were just thinking about eating bagel bites after school.
7:45 listen how hard Mary Jo makes Bridget laugh!
When I was younger I was a lot like Sarah. Then I grew up and realized most people aren't mean, they're just dumb, and stopped holding it against them. Wish I had learned that sooner, but being young is mainly about what you f* up in your life.
