It's crazy to me that these people were just going for a walk and answering simple questions not knowing that they are currently being judged by people in the future.
right? I’m 31 my mom wasn’t even born yet lol
I wish young people would understand this about social media. You will continue being judged long after you are gone.
after 60 years!
I'm wondering what people in 2081 will say about us
Are you saved? If you died tonight would you go to heaven or hell?
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell.
John 1:1,14 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD.
[14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH , and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
I wish times were like this now.. much friendlier...
“Are you married?”
-“I’m a widow”
“WELP ON TO THE NEXT ONE!”
🤓 Yeah! You don't waist any time Kitsco!
🤓 Congratulations!
Are you saved? If you died tonight would you go to heaven or hell?

I have spoke the truth. May you turn to Christ before it is too late.
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
My dad says he’s the boss, my mom says she’s the boss, but we all know the real boss of the house is the cat
Rules with an iron paw.
They both are merely slaves to the cat
cats or pets don’t pay the bills let’s be honest humans provide them everything they sorta useless but if people enjoy owning a pet then good for them
Hilarious
@@desertmoonlee6631 do you feel useless 😂😂??
“Are you married?”
“I’m a widow”
“Oh....” leaves awkwardly
A very yikes moment quite indeed
Wasn’t even awkward about it he just zipped over to the next one 😂
-So you're available? How would you like me to be the boss of *your* house.
I love the lady that keeps saying “yeees”
Cosmic-Creepers : that’s very Aussie haha
Yeees
That was a time when real women existed.
@@jellybeans3994 what would you know.
@@yusuf.alajnabi what woman hurt you 😂
"Are you married?"
"I'm a widow"
*proceeds to move on*
That was a different lady. He didn't move straight on from her. If you watch it again you'll see.. The camera cuts quickly
WHY WOULD THEY EVEN KEEP IT IN THE VIDEO
Ouch
That's "tuff"
Apparently a lot of women were bumping off their husband in the 60s.
Step one: physically confront a stranger middle of the road
Step 2 : hold his arm tight so that he can't run away from camera sight LoL
Step 3: Wait for it to run
Step 4: knif
Lmao
Hahhaha
Idk, I don't find it that offensive. He's asking reasonable people reasonable questions. If you did this today, you'd most likely get accused of sexual harassment.
@@Wealiko10 you're overthinking
"are you married?" "I'm a widow" *instant cut*
this is peak humour
That was literally a Borat edit and it was by a national news broadcast
This man is a youtuber but ahead of his time
Sad truth
He’s a 60s vlogger
Copied comment lmao
They sound almost English back then
Nah youtubers just drew inspiration from him. He walked so they could run
Legend has it she’s still saying “Yes” to this day
I'm DEAD!! That was so funny
Yēëěs
@@enomfonasuquo5454 You think you're dead. She's probably dead.
Lmaooo
"mine yes yes yes mine yes" lmaoo
"The man is the head, but the woman is the neck, and she can turn the head any way wants." That's what the Greek wife was thinking!!!
True...
Exactly
i understood that reference
I highly doubt she thought any such stupidity. All this weak submissive male talk disgusts me, I for one will unabashedly proclaim my sovereignty over my family, and they would have it no other way too, not that I require permission. Nature's ways are timeless and superior to all fads.
@@friartalk6060 Even a boat if stirred into two directions eventually will sink.
So I'm guessing I'm not the only one binge watching these
The one with the kids who had holiday from school, made me realise just how messed up our world is in 2020
This is my 8th lol
Nope
2:42 apparently personal space was invented after 1961.
He legit rebounded off him lolllll
People weren't as averse to physical contact back then. We're actually a touch starved society.
😆😆😆
@@QuietlyCurious we have all been lied to by satan
I prefer when people could be friendly like that.
Quote from My Big Fat Greek Wedding “The man may be the head of the house. But the woman is the neck and she can turn the head whichever way she pleases.”
Perfect 😁
Haha, I noticed in those extreme macho pretend societies the mother always runs the show.
B0omer96 then just find a partner
Exactly. I am greek and when the greek couple in the video said that the man is always the boss of the house I was like "my mom begs to differ" 😂
Awwwwwwwww!!! I looovvvveee ♥️♥️♥️♥️🎊♥️my big fat Greek wedding
imagine being able to be this close to someone's face. 2020 could never
I feel uncomfortable. He was so close. I mean if its not covid time he was still so close.
i find it so funny that he gets SO close to people when talking to them
they dont seem to mind at all so I guess that was the norm..
I was like "why he all in their personal space for?!?!"
Also he’s so tall he really bends down into people’s faces
do you hear them complaining?
"I'm a widow."
*Camera immediately cuts to another scene*
yeah rude!
Hahaha
Oh I see
This is the 3rd time I have seen this comment and I still don't get it. She's a widow....what do you expect to happen?
@@orphanoforbit7588 it's funny because it moved on so hastily and awkwardly, without any sort of reaction like "my apologies" etc.
This guy had no idea he'd become viral decades later
The only 'viral' that man knew of was not a good thing!
@@ianalan4367 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how this came out a year ago yet we are all watching it today
I've seen this before...
"yes"
"yes"
0:44 "would he say the same thing."
"....yes."
"yes"
"mine"
"yes"
yes
Lady: "I'm the boss of the house because I'm A WIDOW."
Reporter: "I see." 😂
HAHAHAHHAHAHAH
she's available!
This guy has to be the oldest vlogger, even before internet and youtube existed.
...are you dumb? He's not "vlogging" hes an anchor.
@@comicguy3056 it's a joke, calm your pants

I wanna believe this is a joke
But I see the chance that it's really not.

1961 ~ My father,My husband
2020 ~ My cat, My dog
Basically the same thing. They don't respect men anymore
i live to serve my cat
@fany a usually they disrespect first
“I’m a widow”
Interviewer: yo cut the cameras fr
"You married?"
"No, I'm a widow"
It was at this moment that he knew he f***** up.
What does a widow mean
@@mayab2859
Woman who has lost her spouse by death and has not remarried.
Or
Losing one's spouse through death.
@@KyleEvra thank you
I'm a widow camera cuts off ..... That didn't go as planned
Lol
Women " I AM!"
Men "I think I am."
Just about sums it up.
Based
EVERYONE IS DRESSED SO ELEGANT 😭 I think that was awesome
omg yes it was so much more classy then 😂
"Who's the head of your house?"
"I am."
"Ah. You married?"
"Yes."
"You have a husband?"
"Yes."
"Ah. Would he say the same thing?"
".......Yes."
XD
EDIT: Wow, thanks for all the likes, guys!! God bless!
He *couldn't* believe it.
Yes
Yes
sounds like a soyboy
He's from future where same gender marriage is allowed.
She said "cause I'm a widow, that's why" and he just 😬
Boi i’m out 😂
bro i legit love these 1960s vids coming in my recommended tbh,
yt keep it coming
Their voices are so different than now days. Everyone sounds the same today.
"You weren't quite certain about that yes"
*YES*
I died at that part lol
Am i the only one freaking out about him grabbing people's arms like that??
From where i come from this is normal😂
Yes! He’s creepy. He gets too close to everyone. Hello, personal space!
Shannon Christie Not a single person got their panties up in a bunch and ended up in psychotherapy.
@@shannonchristie7640 While I don't totally disagree with you, I'm not sure Australians in 1961 had heard the phrase "personal space". I could be wrong though.
Times were different then, obviously...
1961: Who's the boss of your house? My husband/My wife
2020: Who's the boss of your house? Our pet/Our children/We don't have a house yet
Sad but it’s true... people don’t know their priorities/their roles anymore. Everyone wants to do everything... well you can’t do everything as all those jobs will be half done. I prefer if my husband built an extension to the house/refurbishes the house, fixing what got to be fixed ...than cooking in my kitchen. Come on
@@zeroounce8874 do what you want but it is no-ones priorities to do those things. Thats just your priority.
@@song-kangsfirstwife7941 Let’s talk when you will be married and have children... let’s talk then about priorities...shall we?
@@zeroounce8874 good thing im not married or have kids then. No one has any roles in any society. If you want to choose to do something then do it. But its not a specified role for anyone. Some women are perfectly happy being housewifes and some are ok with working. Some men don't actually know how to even fix stuff. I never meant to offend
@Miriam Svenson Yes you can go to university and start your career and get very well paid job and buy your own house. But if... I’m saying if one day you meet a man and get married and decide to have children. I hope you look after your children and spent a lot of time with them. Because children need both parents attention but while they are growing starting from birth they really need their mother. They need their mother more than anybody else. They need mothers touch, gentleness, kindness, forgiveness, compassion, mothers patience. Nobody can be as close as mother, not father, not a nanny.
My son chocked in his sleep when he was 2weeks old in the middle of the night. He was all blue, not breathing, limp, I was exhausted but woke up to check on him during the night and if I didn’t he wouldn’t be saved. He would be dead. His father didn’t wake up, nanny wouldn’t. I did because a mother have that intuition. A mother is a lioness. I would wake up during the night time to time to check if my child is breathing.
Have you heard of the story of a mother who picked up a car because her child was trapped underneath? A single person...a mother.
I grew up alone. My both parents were chasing their careers and was never home, only would sleep in a house. I have never spent a holiday with any of my parents or did anything nice together because they were busy doing their shit. I knew then that I will be a different mother. I will be present with my children. I will attend their school plays, will be witnessing their moments of joy and etc...
My parents regret they missed out. Time flies and now they wish that they spent a lot of time with kids but it’s too late. Their careers brought only joy for that moment while they were working. Now they have nothing no career( as they are old) and no children (children live their own lives).
Real joy is family.
I am speaking from my point of perspective. 💜
Why did everyone sound like they are narrating the first space launch?
Cuz everyone sounded the same when on TV or radio lol
‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, mine’
missed that final 'yes'
Everyone seems so relaxed and make eye contact
This was before social media, people only interacted face to face
Il love the honesty of that era. So proud of my parents the way they brought us up god bless them. Always in my heart. Last son standing. Love and respect from Scotland 🏴💖🙏💯👍💞🏴
Why in the 1960s everyone’s voice was the coolest thing ever
Well this was in Australia but yea
Miles Hall ok, doesn’t mean they’re just talking about this video.
why are we all watching this today wtf
Ask yourself why you watched it and there's your answer
0:39 “Yes, yes, yes, yes” 😂😂😂
When she said yees, i felt that.
It was really awkward talking to the widows
Why is he holding them like they would run away or something 😂
😂😂
Exactly
0:38 I love how assertive she was when she said “I AM” 😄
YES
Why do I love the way they talk😍
same here
I think it's called the transatlantic accent. I find it fascinating.
I love how close they all stood. Like personal space just didn't exist or what. Lol
i think the host was just trying to stay close to the microphone
They're all dressed so nicely
Yes, we're all scruffs nowadays in comparison.
And dead
@@rexraptor4090 how do you know? My grandfather for example is 97 years old and he survived the war and he is still very healthy and fit.
@@thedarkness3766 well I didn’t mean to offend you 😕.... bless him and may he live many more years 🤗♥️🙏🏾
@@rexraptor4090 don’t worry about it you didn’t offend me. Thank you for the kind words 🤗.
Why do I find the way they talk so soothing? 🤔
marky 6 extremely! Gentle and angelic
Because they all used to talk like this
Why is everyone suddenly getting this in their recommended?
Quarantine really messed us up
I wonder why, too. I’m binging them. They keep popping up on my hone screen and now I’ve given in. I’m pretty fascinated
Are you saved? If you died tonight would you go to heaven or hell?

Just wanna go back to good old times
"Are you married?"
"I'm a widow"
*CUT!!*
The "Yes" Lady is hilarious
Did you fill out your form yes.
Are you head of the house yes
And your husband agrees yes
Reporter: what is your name?
that woman: Yes.
As soon she said she's a widow... the camera cutted
Cut. Not cutted
@Biel 2001 certain words are the same in past tense and in future tense, cut is one of them
"I AM THE BOSS OF MY HOUSE BECAUSE IM A WIDOW" -Savage
I’ve been widowed nearly ten years, and still miss my husband each and every day. However, the boss of my now is my cat.
That is my house
He's so uncomfortably close :(
Tony Orbeta THATS WHAT J WAS THINKING ITS SO AWKWARD
Blame the Mic's.
Those times where more intense. People where charming.
This man is anti social distancing
Am i the only one who noticed how uncomfortably close the interviewer is standing to the people?
I miss the times when people were uncomfortably close to me. ☹
@Andrews cool you're right about me being awkward. But still, people now a days just don't seem to stand so close! Its very interesting how things change :3
i think he is doing this because he doesnt have a mic on him so we wouldn't hear his voice if he stood normally
Tomorrow's generation is going to stand six feet apart from each other because this generation has approved the social distance engineering.
@@roobaba5415 That's what I was thinking, too. He doesn't seem to be standing too close at all. It's just that nowadays, with the virus and all of its accompanying emotions, people are uncomfortable with this now.
Interviewer stands so close to people, you don't see such thing nowadays
Hes holding the women as if they arent allowed to leave
Lilit Mardanyan yeah he’s even kind of grabbing them as to keep them close that kinda shit nowadays will get your ass a sexual harassment charge
be glad because if he did not, then you would not be able to hear jack
He tried to be slick with the intro but he picked a widow 😂😂😂😂
Lol the woman who kept saying yes yes 😂
Yes
And said mine
It must've been so wierd back then, seeing everything in black and white.
Pardon me sir, I wonder how did they know rainbow have seven colors when there were only black and white in the past.
@@nguyenthanhat1422 they didn't obviously
@@nguyenthanhat1422 lol what they did because irl wasn’t black and whit
I’m sure he’s not being serious
In fact the word "housewife" was created in the west. In islam the mothers and wifes always had the title "Rabbat-ul bayt" (queen of the house), because she brings life and warmth to a home.
Look how close he gets to everyone he talks to.....
So many were widows because of the war :(
Isn't it special that even after 15+ years they didn't remarry? Talk about loyalty huh?
@@reptiliandiplomat5458 yeah,that's how it should be
@@reptiliandiplomat5458 that's dumb
@@reptiliandiplomat5458 yhey, its kinda that , cause isnt easy to find someone , especialily in those days when was give more value to loyalty or simply because they didnt felt ok to forget their past. Its kinda this.
@@AdityaDeo-cg6eu Why is it dumb? I think it's really special, more than just moving on.
"I'm a widow"
"Oh i see thank you very much"
Wow back then when people wouldn’t go crazy for having an interviewer touching their shoulder and being so close..they surely were more chill than now
yeah well it wasn't as common so they probably didn't understand it as much lol. doubt they'd wanna be on tape if they knew that in the future it would be put on a social media app that everyone can see lmao
Maybe because they didn't have Covid19 back then
Welcome to another episode of "where quarantine has brought me today"
This style of interview was lowkey way ahead of it’s time
I keep thinking the same thing everytime i see these videos! 😂😂
1960's trolling
I love watching these old interviews, just looking at the way people are dressed, how they sound and act.
And realizing they are no more🙄
Dev Krishna unfortunately which sucks.
“There are so many bosses it scares me” 😂😂
youtubers at 1961 was so classy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Bruh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The yes lady would definitely annoy the scammers.
Yes!
Yeussss
The lady who just keeps saying yes is great XD
"are you married"
"i am widowed"
**instant frame cut**
I think she invented the "yes" meme
She is a queen. periodt
No one :
That lady : y e s 👁👄👁
Who else is watching all these old interview videos. Lmao
Mee too lol
Me too man
Lol you caught me lad
Same lol, how is it that these videos are in everyones recommended all of a sudden?
loool same ahaha
Yes-yes-yes-yes-mine-yes
I don’t know why but I find these videos so interesting 🧐
same YT randomly recommended me one of his video and now Im kinda binge watching em
You know why
Yes Lady: YEAS
MINE
I thought she was going to say yes for the last question.
Anyone else just binge watching these videos?
Mitchell Zabel me
Mitchell Zabel me!! TH-cam recomend wilding right now
Yes for the last 10 minutes
Me
THE LAST ONE WAS SO AWKWARD “I AM THE BOSS CAUSE IM THE WIDOW” I FEEL SO BAD
its sad to think that most ppl in this video have passed away
Rip to all the people in the video
Lil Cuz welp that’s too dark haha
The lack of personal space between them is making me anxious
And the way he just grabs people and pulls them in is extremely weird and would make anyone these days probably smack the shit out of him especially the women
Fr, it makes me realize why old people seem to have no personal space nowadays because it used to be normal I suppose
None of these Nancy’s are social distancing
who's watching in 1968
Why am I being recommended this after 59 years
LMAOO
This will be our reality one day
@@blank_line true lmao
personal space didnt exist back then i guess
lol was thinking about the same thing
I'm assuming it's because they're in Australia. They needed to stick together so that they wouldn't fall off.
Gotta say that's the one upside of the coronavirus right now. More than enough personal space.
@@reich6936 😂😂😂
Well people weren’t as worried and untrusting of other people like they are now
These keep popping up in my recommended and I click expecting to be disappointed with the past, but for the most part the people in these are surprisingly progressive and respectful...at least to the camera.
0:18
Him: "Are you married?"
Her: "I'm a widow."
Him: _"Well, shit."_
They are so charming. So polite and casual. I love listening to them.
That is why they are the greatest generation :)
Me too!
A famous German football (soccer) player once said: "At home, I decide on the big issues and my wife on the small issues. She decides which are the big issues."
"I am the boss of the house because I am a widow"
How is it that people were so much more refined back then
What does refined mean?
@@ShafayLaghari-tl1lt (of persons and behaviors) cultivated and genteel, civilised, polished etc
no internet
no mobile phones
well that’s what i think
@zaneshaw8218 it's a logical thought process. No distractions. You simply have to interact with people so I would imagine clear, articulate communication was more valued
I think the reason is that back then, when there was a man and a woman in the house, the man was the boss of the house as should be . The woman had no problem with that, like they have today. She had her precious role in the family and she was proud of it. But she was not the boss. Life and family values made so much more sense back then. The internet, smartphones and toxic social media ruined the masses who got carried away without even realizing. Why are people unable to walk in the street without having their bloody phone in their hand these days? The addiction is real. Phone zombies are everywhere.
People were so polite and well spoken in those days...
Before liberalism attacked the US
@@AfrahAfzal1997 Jesus Christ I hate you
That first one really shut the interviewer up.

See you in the next recommendation.
