I think he finally read what he ordered an extremely scanty, meager, tiny cut of meat. 😂 All he had to say was it should’ve come with french fries instead of mashed potatoes. 😆
That show was so entrenched in America’s Sunday night family viewing that you just mentioned ‘smile you’re on Candid camera” and nothing more had to be said. 😂😂
So true! They dressed neat, they looked neat, they were polite, courteous, articulate and civil. Didn't see dreads, saggy pants, prison tats .... and an illiterate profane filled vocabulary... 🙄
polite and humble ? what video did you watch? they are all being condescending and complained, none of them even found it humorous at all and they spoke to the wait staff like they were below them.
This sort of thing actually happened to my wife once at a McDonald's on the turnpike in Oklahoma... ordered a big breakfast, and they gave her one teaspoon full of scrambled eggs, and appeared offended when I complained... so they gave her a couple of more spoon fulls.... weird....
Imagine, you live for 80 or so years, die, and only a handful of people have a memory now that you even existed....but how you reacted to a tiny steak on a TV show in the 60s is how you will be remembered FOREVER.
Lets go back to the good ole days of never-ending Vietnam war, segregation of Blacks using different drinking fountains and having to go to different schools and polio running rampant. There are cutie and nice people living today. Try watching The Carbonaro Effect.
@@RhaegarTargaryen1st point taken. Its just that lately everyone seems to be complaining about how terrible thing are and how great things were back whenever. If you really look around, things are quite astonishingly great right now.
The waiter was too nice. He should have been more realistic and said, "That's what you ordered; I can't just take it back. It's exiguous--do you know what exiguous means??" Instead, the diners were all acting like he or the restaurant messed up.
Most people are too young to remember that line uttered by the late, great Clara Peller. Most elderly women would have been too polite to bellow that famous "where's the beef" line.That, along with Clara Peller's delivery, made the commercial hilarious.
Imagine doing this to a chocolate person in today’s culture. There would be plates, chairs and tables flying, with the most disgusting language you could hear.
Uh, nobody has said that. Only in your fantasy world. Just b/c women were expected by societal norms to behave in a certain manner, doesn't mean every individual behaved that way or that it was required in every situation (like complaining about a small steak). Women in general were expected to be homemakers and subservient to their husbands, but that doesn't mean women didn't talk back or stayed chained in the home. Geezus.
I think the guy with the glasses, in a moment of quiet reflection, realized maybe this _is_ what "exciduous" means. Wasn't sure on the spelling of a made-up word.
im sure they would have done it in that time, people could take a joke then. plus, imagine some nationwide television show comes o your business to shoot an skit, you probably wouldnt say no.
Candid Camera Gold: You really need a rule of blocking off-topic posts by political spin artists trying to push agendas that have no reelevance to this channel. Thanks.
@@peterfunt8622 P.T. Barnum used a similar word play to keep crowds moving through the sideshow tents, where things could get congested. He had a big sign that read, "This way to the great Egress!"

'I want to take a picture of it'. Who knew? Decades later, losers all over the world would engage in this pathetic activity. I am proud to say I have never photographed my food. Partially because it is fritahded, but mostly because it is fritahded.

Its crazy how delusional these commnets are - glorifying how great society was in these times. You people need to pick up a history book, the 60s was an embarassing time for America 😂
1:08 "I want to take a picture of it".. Predicting a social media trend that came 50 years later! 😂😂
Yeah. 😅
Shit, before social media people where painting pictures of food 100's of years if not thousands of years ago.

I love when the man took off his eyeglasses to think about what he was served 🤨

People were so different then. So polite and humble. The classics are so clean but so darn funny

No they weren't.

Predicted the future at Michelin Star Restaurants.
🤣🤣
I grew up watching Candid Camera. It was assiduously funny.
Good people & good clean humor, no (anti) social media, no rudeness
My favorite show as a child 🤗
One of the problems with people today is that they get outraged at everything. It's all about them.
My favorite is the guy who only complained about the fries, and brushed the waiter away--LOL.
This sort of thing actually happened to my wife once at a McDonald's on the turnpike in Oklahoma... ordered a big breakfast, and they gave her one teaspoon full of scrambled eggs, and appeared offended when I complained... so they gave her a couple of more spoon fulls.... weird....
Try that today and you'll have a riot.
Try that in the wrong neighborhood and you'd likely be shot ...
Such a better era and time

How things change. The first clip has one woman looking at the tiny steak and saying “if only we could take a picture of it”.
It seems people were polite then.
More than seems. They WERE.
@@azchick7938 And I sure miss it!
No they weren’t.
Yes… people were polite
@@ArtsyPhartsy123 Name two people who were polite then.
Where is that foxy guy now ... Good Lord....for the birds.
I know, right! Papa looked good
He’s probably dead already

He's a cutie. And everyone was so polite. These days there'd be yelling and swear words and maybe even violence.
People have been even killed over things like that.

Miss this wholesome comedy
I am grateful we can watch it on this channel. Often, I will replay and then replay again & again.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Well ... I learned a new smart word today
There was much less assholiness in society in those days. People even became upset politely.
Perfectly, Put.
👍👍
It's really true.
Today they are 'woke' and dumb
People had self respect and dignity back then.
Nobody climbed over the counter and started destroying the kitchen or assaulting the staff. We have long lost our way.... we'll, some of us, anyway.
1:35 - He probably masticated right there at the table.
As a farm kid in the Midwest, I got to see real new yorkers.

Knowing today's society ... there would be gunfire! Remember that "chocolate" kid who shot a McDonald's server because his fries were COLD!!??
Today this probably ends in gunshots.
Tiny steak. 12-3-2023. Like, Red Lobster no longer serves a dozen of Walt’s Favorite Shrimp. It is now down to…….5 shrimp.
@@PrimeDirective101 I swore I was finished eating there
If you eat at Red Lobster or Olive Garden rethink your life choices.
@ I NEVER eat at Olive Garden. I do eat……once a MONTH……at Red Lobster. Now, “ what sort of life choices are you referring to , please ?
We no longer eat at Red Lobster. We raise our own food and eat at home now, thanks to Crooked joe.
That's the extra-large cut at The French Laundry.
Those are big steaks to eat, if you're a hamster. :)
In Tokyo that's a grade 5 Wagyu... costs about US$200 for that bite. Seems legit to me.
I would've said ' I did NOT order an incestuous steak...I certainly did NOT ' lol
Welcome to fine dining!
nice
Can you imagine if this were from 2025 - you'd have to censor every other word.
Was this back, in the 50's or 60's 😳
We try to always put the year in the description: 1964. -Peter
This episode was broadcast in 1964.
The last lady was beautiful
Please spell the word I cannot find it anywhere.
exiguous

I thought that he was saying assiduous, which wouldn't have made sense.

Today the diners would start a riot, trash the kitchen, get into fist fights, and carry the battle into the parking lot.

TINY STEAK 🥩
In JUST the past 5 years, adjusted for inflation, that’s about the portion of beef you would receive today!
😂😂😂😂
Why order something you don't understand?
Like ordering from a foreign menu. Ask!
I thought women were all quiet and subservient back then? I guess that was a lie too.
Uh, nobody has said that. Only in your fantasy world. Just b/c women were expected by societal norms to behave in a certain manner, doesn't mean every individual behaved that way or that it was required in every situation (like complaining about a small steak).

They're all Karen's
These days you’d be assaulted and then sued for pulling such a harmless stunt…
I bet the last woman ate the steak.
I think the guy with the glasses, in a moment of quiet reflection, realized maybe this _is_ what "exciduous" means.
Wasn't sure on the spelling of a made-up word.
I was only 7 years old when this episode was broadcast so the tiny steak would have been the right size for me. Lol.
❤😂❤
there is one reason why she didn't take a picture of it...
exiguous: very small in size or amount.
They got the word wrong 😅 It's "exiguous."
How about uploading entire episodes instead of just short clips...
😅👍❤
Where's the Beef???
Actually pronounced "egg-ZIG -you-uss.
It's not as good as the UK ones there much more funny
Interesting to hear you say that, since we licensed the UK version and most of their sequences were re-done versions of our ideas. -Peter
They must know it’s a joke. No restaurant would ever serve a bit of steak as “a” steak.
Or they might just assume it's a mis-steak.
im sure they would have done it in that time, people could take a joke then.
plus, imagine some nationwide television show comes o your business to shoot an skit, you probably wouldnt say no.
