I love how Raphie and Schwartz were the only kids who not only didn't get up with the rest of the class to look out the window, but also looked awkward and guilty as hell in the process. It's perfect.
Like Miss Shields questioning Ralphie, all like “Ralphie, you’re Flick’s friend; surely you must know where he is?” Ralphie like “Don’t look at me!” Miss Shields probably thinking “Hmm, how odd; I bet Ralph is probably lying to me.” Interesting trivia: Until I got my own DVD of this movie(and turned on the subtitles) I could never make out the name of the girl who raises her hand(subtitles say Esther Jane.) It always sounded like “Sister something” to me, which I knew couldn’t be right.
1:21 the best/worst thing about this scene is how convincing his screams are. Best because it really sells it but worst because when you're like 5 and feel sympathetic for him its heart breaking to hear such legit screams for help.
Yes the little guy was amazing to how he cried, amazing actor, the flag pole was heated And had a small home in it what was vacuumed so it a way his little tongue was actually stuck to the pole, but could be pulled away with very little effort every single child you see in the scene tried it for fun lol 😂 off camera 🎥
Let this be a lesson to all of us Never triple dog dare or dee double dare or even triple dog dee double dare anyone to put their tongue on something made of metal which is frozen during winter
A fun fact: Teacher was 6 months pregnant but wanted the job and they wanted her but the story line did not call for a pregnant teacher. So they padded her up to make her a bit bigger and you can't even tell.
This has always been my favorite Christmas movie. One time I was outside in what the temperature felt like 5 degrees F and I stuck my tongue to a wheelbarrow outside in the back yard. I would’ve been stuck for a while if my dog didn’t start licking my hands and made me start laughing. But when I realized I was stuck I just started thinking of this scene and was trying to figure out how to get out of that situation. Then I did the same thing AGAIN and got my lips frozen to a piece of metal. I thought it was hilarious, but my mom was mad at me fire it like I forced somebody else to do it. Then she scolded me and said “the kid who got straight A’s in the second quarter…” Oh well, I learned my lesson TWICE.
Believe it or not, his teacher is actually my favorite character. I love her reaction when she sees him outside, the way she says "oh my GOD!". 😂 She looks like every photo of my great-grandmother back in the day. 😂
Seeing that old brick school building in the middle of winter, with the kids playing out in the snow, and the Christmas decorations inside is like a time machine for me back to my middle school days. My middle school was a beautiful old brick building in the center of my small town. It was built in the 1920s and was easily the most beautiful building I’ve ever been inside of for an extended period of time. Going to school there felt like being inside of some old castle, like a real life version of Harry Potter. It had big grand staircases at the entrances, a beautiful auditorium on the 2nd floor with big red curtains, a big old gym, and all kinds of old unused areas that were talked about as a kind of lore. Kids said there was an old unused pool in the basement that nobody was allowed near. I just absolutely loved that building. It was beautiful in every season. Now it’s only used for special education and a faculty building. I think it’s a dam shame. The 2 middle schools in my town have been combined into 1. It’s just a big, soulless modern building that looks exactly like every other building that has been built in the last 20 years
When I was about 10 years old, I tried this on the pole for the basketball hoop in my front yard. I just pulled my tongue right off. It only bled a little bit. I don't think my parents ever found out about it. But I never did it again after that.
I'm afraid people will know my age if I bring to attention a commercial from looong ago?...when Ralphie was " Messy Marvin" & he would do anything for chocolate milk! He asked his mother could he paint his tree house?... well he did, including the tree! Black & white striped like a zebra! His mother said with great disdain, "the whole tree Marvin?".....the days of really funny commercials.
@@valentinaminauro352 Actually, Mikey from the LIFE cereal ads was a different kid. Peter Billingsley was Messy Marvin and he also used to appear on NBC’s TV show, “Real People.”
When I was about ten, I tested the theory on the metal shelf guard in the freezer. My tongue stuck. I only had to breathe out really hard, and the warmth from that got my tongue free. Although, I was also in a warm house. Flick was out in the cold, so that might not have worked.
Flick: "Ralphie, come back! Don't leave me, come baaack!" Ralphie: "The bell rang!" Schwartz: "Well what we going to do?" Ralphie: "I don't know! The bell rang!" 😂😂😂 Watching this movie as an adult now, I don't know why that part was so funny! 😂😂🤣 Still one of my favorite movies! ❤
Back in the day seeing an officer on action was a big deal. Now they work in public schools. And aleeady got police files on most of the students. So yeah no big deal to you young people. But it was rare to someone like me. I'm not sure if that is a good thing. Society decline.and all.
Oh, God! Why couldn't he just do it himself?? Poor kid, I remember the same situation with me and other kids in childhood. We all had to deal with it on our own 🤪 That is so painful. But now it seems so Hilarious 😂
I have seen people put their tongues on frozen flagpoles, a hot stove, and even stick it in a wall socket. But despite all that, they never learn their lesson and go and do it again.
I remember one year during the holiday season they played this movie all day long for like 24 hours straight and this is honestly in my opinion one of the many best Christmas movies to watch during the holidays. It’s definitely worth a watch to everyone who hasn’t watched or seen it yet.
One time I kindergarten our councilor showed this to us as a thing for pure pressure, and because his screams sounded real, it scared me for multiple days and I cried because of it, it still scares me to this day and I'm older :3
After Flick🧒🏼sticking his tongue😛on the wooden flagpole🪵⛳️he was screaming😱outside of the snow🌨️without getting into the school🏫and the teacher and cops came to help him get his tongue👅off the frozen pole❄️💈so that Flick could go to his desk with frozen wooden pieces are stuck on his tongue so that he could enjoy the rest of the class
Victoria Public School St. Catherines Ontario Canada Must visit before our provincial government tears it down. Today I learned that I was so very close, many, many times.
To do this scene they made a plastic tube and colored it to look like a rusty pole and it was slipped over the real flag pole dont worry his tongue wasnt actually frozen to metal.
When I was in elementary school one winter, I heard the principal say over the PA system how a boy had stuck his tongue to a metal pole and it got frozen to it. But the principal said that the boy was freed and was at home resting.
At 2:18, None of the kids want to say anything but it's clear to them that Ms. Shields is not going to stop asking them where Flick is so that girl, Ester Jane, volunteers.
Schwartz: "Gee, it really works!" Schwartz knew it would work but he probably didn't think it work this well! What could've been said, Kid: "Wow, his tongue really is stuck to the pole!" Another kid: "Yeah, but how do we get it UNSTUCK from the pole?"
I gained nothing but respect for Flick because he wasn't a snitch
Herr Flick
He could'nt talk.
Because snitches get stitches 😉
Lol
@@robertmartinez4362 His tongue looked pretty stitched up to me. :P
I love how Raphie and Schwartz were the only kids who not only didn't get up with the rest of the class to look out the window, but also looked awkward and guilty as hell in the process. It's perfect.
Ralphie didn’t even do anything. He was pretty much caught in the crossfire.
Exactly. Ralphie and Schwartz already knew what was going on, but it backfired because that’s also a passive confession

@@MrJamieMurph4141969 right it sounded like Miss Shields said “sister” 😂
Hey, don't say that
"Flick? Flick who?" Hands down Jean Shepherd's best line delivery of the entire film, kills me every time haha!
1:21 the best/worst thing about this scene is how convincing his screams are. Best because it really sells it but worst because when you're like 5 and feel sympathetic for him its heart breaking to hear such legit screams for help.

33 years later, Flick got revenge on Schwartz by triple dog daring him to ride the Ramp, angry about Schwartz’s beer tap.
Don’t leave me come back 🤣🤣 but the bell rang. That was so messed up
Fr
I would've told the teacher right away, I wouldn't care what the kids would say.
It is but it's definitely something a scared kid would do.
It was a messed up situation. You don't know what to do.
Let this be a lesson to all of us
Never triple dog dare or dee double dare or even triple dog dee double dare anyone to put their tongue on something made of metal which is frozen during winter
Too late
As the saying goes "Dares are dangerous."
Such a classic film.
100٪
For sure. We watch it every Christmas season many times in my family
A fun fact: Teacher was 6 months pregnant but wanted the job and they wanted her but the story line did not call for a pregnant teacher. So they padded her up to make her a bit bigger and you can't even tell.
Fun fact: tRump lost the election
The baby became Drake’s collaborator 40!
😮
Oh my😮
I think flick was with her getting his tongue bandaged when he noticed and he wasn’t even bothered by it.
"Well go on smartass and do it"😂😂😂😂😂

This is one of those movies that you never seek out but end up having seen 900 times. This and ‘don’t tell mom the babysitters dead’.
Believe it or not, his teacher is actually my favorite character. I love her reaction when she sees him outside, the way she says "oh my GOD!". 😂 She looks like every photo of my great-grandmother back in the day. 😂
Props to her staying by him the whole time, in the cold with no jacket.
😂 I have to say, "I am so happy to see you." I hope you are able to be extravaganzalorious with Puffer Wallace and Patti Dwobeng.
Schwartz: Ralphie what are gonna do?!
Ralphie: I don't know, the bell rang.
They ran off and left Flick there. Savages!
Before Schwartz ran off he was like “Oh well!” 🤷♂️🤣
Some friends they are...
@@TheDarkarrow7Took the words right out of my mouth! Perfect
Well Flick brought it on himself when he was talking trash about Schwartz’s old man being a liar. 😂
Lesson is to never smack talk about anyone’s parent.
Flick should not have listened to Schwartz triple dog dare.
Flick gets Schwartz back in "A Christmas Story Christmas(2022)"
Don't lick a flagpole during winter. It's a very bad idea.

I find it hilarious that Flick needs to be rescued by the fire department because they can’t get his tongue off of the flagpole.
CALL THE FIRE BRIGADE!!
When I was about 10 years old, I tried this on the pole for the basketball hoop in my front yard.
I just pulled my tongue right off.
It only bled a little bit.
I don't think my parents ever found out about it.
But I never did it again after that.
😂
Loved this scene. If you look closely at 2:37 when he’s swinging his arms, his tongue comes off for a split second.
To make it look like his tongue was really sticking they used a vacuum inside the pole with a tiny hole 🕳️ in it.
@@SwampNymph522 interesting. I didn't know that.
@@miketilton6393 and to to get him to lick the pole they covered the hole in chocolate syrup.

Classic scene
When I was about ten, I tested the theory on the metal shelf guard in the freezer. My tongue stuck. I only had to breathe out really hard, and the warmth from that got my tongue free.
Although, I was also in a warm house. Flick was out in the cold, so that might not have worked.
😂 You’re not alone! I also did that when I was 8!! 😂
@@coffeecrimegal5968 ♥️
I was a dumb boy who just ripped my tongue free
They could help him . Put there gloves between his tongue and the piller
Wouldn’t pouring warm to hot water over the pole and the tongue have done the trick too🤷🏻♀️
Flick? Flick who?
Jean Shepard's delivery is pitch perfect🤣🤣🤣
It really does work!
I was a stupidly daring kid…😂
Please tell me they just poured hot water on it and didn't cut your tongue like that lol
The horrified look on that big kid's face at 1:30 says it all.
his tongue's in great pain!!
“I don’t know, the bell rang!” Haha! That always gets a laugh out of me
This is One of my Favorite Part from this Classic Christmas Movie Right Here.
Omg they left him😂😂
The bell rang.
Just like my dad did
"The BELL rang!"
Where's Flick? Has anyone seen Flick? He was at recess wasn't he?
I would have stayed with him and try to get his tongue off or I would go and alert a teacher right away.
Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎅🏾🤶🏾🎁🎄❄️⛄️
Schwartz was the muscle man of the 80s… in terms of pranks.

Stuck? StUcK? STUCKKKKKKKKK?!?!?!?!?!
This movie is such a CLASSIC
Ms. Shields: Ralphie, do you know where Flick is?
Every time Ralphie shakes his head, I always say to the screen, "No, ma'am."
Flick: "Ralphie, come back! Don't leave me, come baaack!"
Ralphie: "The bell rang!"
Schwartz: "Well what we going to do?"
Ralphie: "I don't know! The bell rang!" 😂😂😂 Watching this movie as an adult now, I don't know why that part was so funny! 😂😂🤣 Still one of my favorite movies! ❤
1:59 confetti 🎊🎉
I love this scene because this how I would immediately react if I was flick just cry my ass off
3:01 that kid acted like he has never seen a cop car before lol
Back in the day seeing an officer on action was a big deal.
Now they work in public schools. And aleeady got police files on most of the students.
So yeah no big deal to you young people. But it was rare to someone like me.
I'm not sure if that is a good thing. Society decline.and all.
Ok

Oh, God! Why couldn't he just do it himself?? Poor kid, I remember the same situation with me and other kids in childhood. We all had to deal with it on our own 🤪 That is so painful. But now it seems so Hilarious 😂
This makes getting your tongue stuck to a popsicle look like nothing.

“Flick? Flick who?” I though they were going to flick someone in the classroom XD 😆
I wonder what wouldve came after the tripple dog dare, It probably wouldve increased for hours until it got to 100

Warning! Please Don’t Attempt To Try This Anywhere!
Anyone know the classical music cue from 2:12 ? It's been driving me crazy trying to figure it out for years.
No wonder I was always too afraid to stick my tongue on a pole during winter time!

So now I understand the origin of a triple dog dare. No wonder I can't get out of them.
Lol what kind of raggedy band aid did they manage 2stick 2his tongue?
Yo that’s fucked up ash they were just gonna leave flick there for who knows how long🤣💀
I think the fire fighters got him slowly breathe hot air close to the pole as possible to get him free.
I heard that works.

The guuilt you feel is awful.
Behind the scene fact. There is a tiny hole in the pole that sucks air hard enough to make the tongue stick.

many, many times.
That we you never do that! OH MY GOD! I feel so bad, and that looks and sounds so scary!
He just sits up there and laughs in amusement. Long as we dont go to far. Were trying to learn to love eachother.
The expression on Flick's face when he has that bandage on his tongue, he looks exhausted. Perhaps he is, given what he just went through.
The exact change and nuance of phrase in this ritual is very important.
I did that one time and I had to put an actual band aid on my tongue. It was not fun.
Wow kids in school on a snow day!! thats a rare sight 🤣🤣
To do this scene they made a plastic tube and colored it to look like a rusty pole and it was slipped over the real flag pole dont worry his tongue wasnt actually frozen to metal.
That's amazing, although it's pretty easy to unstick a tongue from an actual frozen pole - just use a bit of warm water
