This made an impact on me.Not only was it my first Twilight Zone but I never experienced what they called "the Fourth Wall." so when he turned and talked into the camera ,I almost jumped out of my chair!!
Useless but fun fact that you'll only read here: In 1986 relative of mine worked on set of The Golden Girls S02E14 and Lloyd Bochner played Patrick Vaughn. I won't go into the whole story/episode...so... This scene had to be reshot...Blanche happened to be carrying a book when she tricked rose out of the rose meant for Patrick. Blanche then told Patrick that she bought something for him in Honor of opening night. Patrick took the book from her hand and he explained "it's a cookbook!" The audience roared! She said..."no...this rose!" Lloyd improv'd this but was to be kept.. After nearing end of filming they were told that they most likely couldn't get legal clearance to use that simple line. They had to reshoot it.
You could ask the same of us. I'm no vegetarian, but we're more than capable of providing artificial sources of protein to eat, other than animals. But most of us still prefer "the real thing", for no better reason than "because we really like it".
@@douglasb5046they landed in the UN headquarters. Which yes, is in New York, but has people from almost all countries. There is no better place to reach all the world than the UN Headquarters.
Hubris could very possibly be the answer here. The Kanamits viewed man as a dumb animal-nothing more than food-and proceeded to manipulate us with gifts. It would be like a farmer leaving a grilling cookbook in a pasture with cows. He knows there's no possible way they'd ever be able to read it. I don't think the Kanamits ever thought we'd be able to decipher the book.
better question is why after the title did it still take so long to decipher the book? granted only one person was working on it, but still after a few pages she should have been able to send up the alarm about the book not being so nice, unless the computer was doing all the decoding and she had to wait.
@@jerrscott6373 lol, it's absolutely incredible.. I'm not dem or rep. and saw that dang debate... Fetterman almost collapsed!! I'm not the type of man to bring a guy down due to an illness, but he has ZERO rights to be part of our democratic process 100%!¡!
I believe they were weighing passengers as they were climbing up to enter the spaceship... They would look each person over and smile and weigh them....but people were all excited and laughing about what they planned to do once they got there...ignoring the creepy signs! You got universally scammed. Wonder if we taste like chicken or pork?...
IF, there is actually ANYONE on this planet, that is above the threshold for "you know", lol, that NEEDS the ending of this particular episode explained to them... THEN HUMANITY IS DOOMED & THEY SHOULD EAT US AND GET IT OVER WITH... lol This might be the most unnecessary video that was ever made.
Completely worthless video. There is no explanation. This is just a summary. Why would anyone watch a summary instead of an excellent episode, which is available on streaming platforms? Are kiddies these days to lazy to even watch TV?
I don't think it's worthless, but I supposed I'm biased. Either way, totally agree that it's a classic (and excellent!) episode, and I'm glad to meet another fan of The Twilight Zone. 👋👋
Then I guess there was a little doubt in your mind, so the ending may not have been too obvious 😉 Either way, I hope you enjoyed the video. It was just a fun one to make and I love The Twilight Zone, so why not, y'know?
Just to clarify, this title was called ..... ending explained. The lady at the end of the episode said it's a 'cookbook' = (she explained the ending) Usually videos that have any ending explained is when you watch something and there's confusion or uncertainty about the conclusion of the movie the show etc.

And that explains communion of Jesus ...
This episode was adapted from a short story in Galaxy magazine from November 1950. The aliens were Piglike and the book was titled "How to Serve Man."
The man had one job! If he helped his assistant they might have cracked the code sooner.
Yeeeeep! And now she gets to hang out on Earth while he’s some space man’s manwich.
I cracked the bibles communion code ... it’s about preys and not praise .
To serve Jesus for supper ...
@@TalkHorror
I imagine that since she cracked their code in the first place, the aliens did some very, very hideous things to her
"The offer that's too good to be true is an offer you cannot accept"
You've got that right, and they found out that lesson the hard way in this episode.
They thought they were about to go to another planet to party it up and destroy it. Instead, they were about to be devoured

But if the creatures are so advanced, why can't they find another protein source to eat?
They like man
And why are they forced to duck to go through the low doors on their own ship?
You could ask the same of us.

I like how in media with alien planets the extraterrestrials all happen to speak English
And land in the USA
Because they're always nore intelligent and advanced, and can speak any earth language necessary
@@douglasb5046they landed in the UN headquarters. Which yes, is in New York, but has people from almost all countries. There is no better place to reach all the world than the UN Headquarters.
In star trek they had translators. they could have also used radio broadcasts to learn our language
I just realised that's Richard Kiel
Oh, look...this from the dessert section, a recipe for Earthling Eclairs. Yum!
so dont trust strangers until you know their intentions
A lesson anyone who know if they ever read Hansel and Gretel
If they remade this episode nowadays, Michael Shannon would play the main Kanamit played here by the actor who played Jaws in that 007 movie.
The sink basin keeps disappearing in Chamber's room on the ship.
I'm going to have to keep my eye out for that, lol!
It retractable from the wall in the episode
Why did the Kaminite leave that book in the first place? I'm guessing that they didn't think humans were smart enough to decipher their language.
Hubris could very possibly be the answer here. The Kanamits viewed man as a dumb animal-nothing more than food-and proceeded to manipulate us with gifts. It would be like a farmer leaving a grilling cookbook in a pasture with cows. He knows there's no possible way they'd ever be able to read it. I don't think the Kanamits ever thought we'd be able to decipher the book.
The Kanamit was played by John Fetterman
Absolutely legendary! I can't picture the Kanamit looking any other way.
Love this episode by the way
Such an iconic episode! 👽
Absolutely! It's a cookbook!
Kanamits = Cannibals!
They do love their Manwiches. 🤣
Exactly, such a dead give away.
Do they eat themselves????
This is something that's always bugged me about this otherwise phenomenal episode... how were they able to decipher the language at all?
better question is why after the title did it still take so long to decipher the book? granted only one person was working on it, but still after a few pages she should have been able to send up the alarm about the book not being so nice, unless the computer was doing all the decoding and she had to wait.
Its a cook book! :O
Yasssss!! So memorable. So classic.
@@TalkHorror Thanks for reminding me how amazing this episode really was! :)
They come in peace? No they came looking for a 2 piece and a biscuit
Would you like a drink with that?
Soylent Green: The Cookbook
Ha! "It's the people!"
This episode was on MeTV, 8-24-24.
Niiiiice!
So there's a planet full of John Fettermans?
Yeah, fetterman for senate
The real scary thing is that fools in Pennsylvania actually voted for the guy. But that's for another episode on the Twilight Zone.
@cyclops9125 care to elaborate??? You LITERALLY wish for a Twilight Zone Character to be in office?? Lol 😆 🤦♂️

Lloyd Bochner?
This wasan interesting episode
This changes how I feel about the Simpsons episode....with Kang and Kodos....the two aliens... How to Cook Forty Humans
*blows off the dust*
How to Cook For Forty Humans
Mr chambers it seems you screwed it up
Who didnt get the ending?
V was an obvious ripoff/inspiration of this Twilight Zone episode.
Why would this ending need to be explained?
Why not?
@@TalkHorror Because it's clear.."To serve man" is cook book. Great episode and Rod Serling breaks it down in narration in the episode.
You didn’t like the video? 😢
@@TalkHorror The video is fine, It's great to showcase nostalgia of such a great show and incredible episode. Don't mind my critique.
Thanks. Rod Serling is a legend and The Twilight Zone is one of my favorite shows. It was definitely a fun video to make!
IF, there is actually ANYONE on this planet, that is above the threshold for "you know", lol, that NEEDS the ending of this particular episode explained to them... THEN HUMANITY IS DOOMED & THEY SHOULD EAT US AND GET IT OVER WITH... lol This might be the most unnecessary video that was ever made.
🤣 Well, I hope it was a fun watch, at least.
This voice sounds strangely familiar .
Who do you think is could be?

Was this necessary, it was kinda obvious.
Then why did you watch it?
@@TalkHorror To see if you had an ending explained that was different from the actual character from the episode that literally explained the ending.
Then I guess there was a little doubt in your mind, so the ending may not have been too obvious 😉 Either way, I hope you enjoyed the video. It was just a fun one to make and I love The Twilight Zone, so why not, y'know?

@@brandonspicer2482 he explained with very well because I never fully understand this episode. So...you failed at trying to diminish what he is doing
And that my friends is communion...
To prey upon Jesus .
The preys of Jesus .
To drink and eat human are catholic ways ..
First
Bad ass! Damn, you're quick.
It's fetterman
