I love watching them because I should have been born in the 40’s. They had awesome clothes and taught this stuff. Basic manners makes a difference in society.
My parents taught me these things as a kid in the 90s. I'm impressed how most people my age don't know them, like I was the only person who was purposefully taught at home, and they weren't at all. These videos need a comeback.
I taught my children to put their napkins in their laps while eating (especially at a restaurant) and now they won’t do it because they don’t believe me that it’s a real thing! So apparently NO ONE is learning table manners now and that is just depressing.
My children were taught proper table manners...and to be quite honest, my husband has TERRIBLE table manners...it is embarrassing, to say the least...I have to remind him if we are going out to use his manners...the thing is, when wr were first dating, he used proper manners and didn't eat like a barn animal, or I wouldn't have gone out with him again...mealtime isn't fun for me, as his way of eating disgusts me...eats a meal in 5 minutes flat, eats with his mouth open, sucks his fingers loudly instead of using a napkin, and holds his fork like a 1 year old...I do love him though...
@@cici2562I will never forget being taught these manners then going out to eat with friends for the first time. Everyone laughed when I put my napkin in my lap lol. I had to unlearn manners to fit in, and I’m sure many other people have too unfortunately
“People judge many things about you, just by how you eat,” Future Chuck says as I sit, cross-legged on my sofa, eating brown sugar-cinnamon Pop Tarts while using a throw pillow as a plate to catch the crumbs.
This, can I say thank you for making me feel better about my own personal shame. I'm laying across my bed sideways eating cookies from Whole Foods for dinner well using a pillow as a crumb catcher ... I'm 30. Glad to know I'm not alone in my choices.
Proper etiquette was taught to me at home and I went to public school that everyone was required to take a etiquette class, how to eat properly, speak in public, speak properly on the phone and to conduct yourself at a interview at a job.
It certainly does. In these modern times, a lot of people spurn etiquette courses because they're 'old-fashioned' and say that using the 'wrong' fork is inconsequential. Others argue that they're 'classist' or 'elitist' because everything from clothing to addressing others is supposed to be totally egalitarian now. I disagree. Table etiquette makes interaction more organized and it adds to ambiance. And job interviews give a person one chance to make a favorable impression.
Love the part where future Chuck snap his finger and all the dishes disappeared, present Chuck said mother's should see that. Future Chuck is a smooth cool dude with hip manner attitude.
Chuck's sweater probably allows him to time travel and materalize random foods out of thin air every friday. As atrocious as it may be, i would rock that shit
@@brettgiddings9775 The oldest boomer was 6 in 1951 you idiot. This is the era of the Silent Generation. It was their dumbass kids that ruined the economy.
Another fun fact, that will hurt their stomach and digestive system, even a little. P.s. I learned somewhere else raisins are deadly to animals like cats and dogs
Wait a minute If Chuck from the future is telling Chuck from the past how to have good table manners then surely at some point Chuck learns how to have good table manners, and he learns a good deal about it as he's aware of both the American and European methods. Older Chuck wouldn't need to worry about younger Chuck not knowing these things right now because he knows that he will eventually learn them. Is there some kind of paradox going on here. Chuck only knows about these things because he himself told him them. I don't know it's really confusing.
That's a paradox right there, which means that when future Chuck was younger anothet future Chuck came to teach him good manners too, you're right, they should learn not to mess with time 😂😂😂, another Chuck will come to tell them that.
If I could now go back in time and give my young self some advice! No kidding, now I'm in my future. What I mean is, I was young now I'm not. So, I'm in the future that I thought about 45 years ago. Lol.
Young chuck several years after this interaction is gonna go back in time to this day and teach his young self some table manners. Chuck is stuck in a paradox.
Actionable Summary: 🙂 - When sitting down to dinner and faced with multiple utensils, then always use the silverware from the outside in. - When dealing with clean dry foods like bread, then it is acceptable to eat them with your fingers. - When dealing with messy or sticky foods, then use a fork. - When holding a fork, then do so by placing the end of the handle in the palm of your hand. - When placing food on your fork, then only put onto your fork one mouthful of food at a time. - When talking during a meal, then lay your fork down until you're ready to eat again. - When eating with a fork and knife, then hold the meat down with the fork and cut and not tear the meat with the knife. - When eating soup, then don't tip the bowl, take the soup away from you, not fill the spoon too much and eat from the side of the spoon. - When offered food you don't like, then politely decline by saying "no thank you". - When you have finished eating, then indicate it by placing your knife and fork this way. - When entering the dining room, then allow ladies to go first. - When finding your place at the table, then remain standing until everyone is seated. - When dining at a social event, then remember the purpose is to have a good time, not to see how much or how fast you can eat. - Always when at a table, remember that good manners involve consideration for others, common sense and courtesy.
My dad would kick me in the shin under the table if I didn't follow table manners. Once at a restaurant he made me do pushups outside because I cursed in front of my grandma.
Sounds like an asshole who should have his mouth ripped out of his head. I don't give a single care for someone dying if they hate cursing, it's literally a "bad word" because the people who invented the exclamations were poor. And Christians hated on poor people. Fuck him
It is pretty funny. I swear the writing on the invitation looks exactly like my Mom and Grandma's hand writing. I think that must just be the way they taught girls who were born in the 1910's up to the 1940's to write. It seems like boys weren't taught the same style. Each man in that age range seem to write differently. Grandpa to father in law to father. All wrote differently.Even my mother in law and Grandma in law write that same way. I still like how neat and clear it is to read.
Thank you for posting, I use these videos in my third grade classroom. They like them very much, I wish there was a modern version video teaching basic table manners.
No smacking your lips, and elbows off the table, is some of the lessons I learned. If I were to smart off like Chuck did, I would of been automatically excused from the table, and sent to bed with no supper!
I honestly laughed quite a bit during this video...just how nonchalant everyone is to the craziness around them (well except for table manners, duh) is just comic gold.
This is how the dialogue should be Older Chuck: it's too bad you've already eaten Younger Chuck: that's okay, I can go to the bathroom & make room for more.
Did anyone catch Barbara's last name at 1:50? It looks like "Miljević." Which I think is pretty cool given it's an Eastern European name. Most of these old video characters are very Anglo with names like Smith, Wilson, & Roberts.
Thanks, FutureSelf for giving me useless tips on silverware etiquette! But couldn't you have dropped some future tips on future winning racehorses or stocks that will soar in the future?
This is why I hate the 1950s. You could be telling your parents about a murder you saw while eating dinner and the parents first remark would be to yell at you about speaking with your mouth full.
+Toast Master People who were alive back then know these films are not accurate. These films just served as a "suggestion" on how to act in public or at the dinner table etc. Just as dental hygiene films are a suggestion for optimal dental health....it doesn't mean people actually do it. There are generations of people who have formed their entire impressions of the 1950s based on these "public service" films. Kids in the 50s used to laugh at these films when shown in school.
I grew up in the 50s and you're right; we did laugh at these films. But people looking back at them from today are sure going to get the wrong idea of the 1950s. lol
I am HOMESICK to live this part of my life again😢!! Turn backwards, Turn backwards, Oh, time, in thy flight, And make me a child again, Just for tonight. 😢
the sarcasm and attitude of that kid was too real xF
The way he gulped that food I bet he was one big fart ass. Swallowing air is what causes that you know.
Joe Kaye uh no
Nadi NAM doesn’t matter fourteen years from then. Chuck was tortured in Vietnam and then shot thank God he had his table manners down to a fine art

Future Chuck should have warned him he'd be drafted in to the army to fight in 'nam.
rojman123 oh my!
Oh boy!! Nam!!! :D
This is 1951 he's about 15. He probably could have not gone to Nam.
He’d be going to Korea. Just as fun as ‘Nam!!

A few years later and Chuck still hasn't changed his shirt.
Chuck's sweater probably allows him to time travel and materalize random foods out of thin air every friday. As atrocious as it may be, i would rock that shit
Unless Chuck's family is Catholic. No meat on Fridays- especially not ham and especially not before 1965.
Chuck is schizophrenic. That's why no one else can see any of those things but chuck. It's all the hallucinations of a lonely and isolated child.
Loving that knitwear! 🦌🦌🌲🌲
God damn nice fucking sweater.
Great Clip
Every bit of this advice is true and valuable.
Not really
Next time you see a boomer thank him for this instructional video and the state of the economy lol

Like the scene where Chuck used has “clamshell excavator” to grab some food from across the table!
"That's the way most of the people in America handle the knife and fork. We don't have to worry with the European method."
Oh right, this was filmed just a few years after WWII ...
no they arent
Yes, badly.
I prefere the European one 😋
Eating tines down. I hate it. @@acecadet8812
Here in Italy, films like this were called "Pubblicità Progresso" or "Dipartimento Scuola Educazione "🙂
So funny, I'm eating ice cream in bed and sharing a little with my cat.
Fun fact: Cat's can't taste anything sweet, so it probably just tastes like plain milk to them.
Another fun fact, that will hurt their stomach and digestive system, even a little. P.s. I learned somewhere else raisins are deadly to animals like cats and dogs
These videos should be featured in todays schools.
I just Love the warmth and coziness in these "reels"
This is so good lol. it's so on point and quite timeless.
I was today year's old when I learned the REASON families sit together to eat around the table. 😭
I’m addicted to these films
I don’t understand why I find these hilariously entertaining but I do.
Daymn, evidently parents were real ball busters back in the day.

Since younger Chuck in the example of how it SHOULD go is elbowing both his potential neighbors into the ear nothing really matters anyway.

Why did he go back in time to teach about table manners when he could have gone back a little farther and killed Hitler?

The best manner is to make ppl around you comfortable and be considerate of others not just focus on you. From Kate Spade
Young chuck several years after this interaction is gonna go back in time to this day and teach his young self some table manners. Chuck is stuck in a paradox.
In time travel you travel back to one of the infinitely many parallel worlds and then you grow up in that world, there is no paradox.
Well not really, considering he goes back after. There are now infinite realities being created after each subsequent Chuck gets visited.

chuck grows up to sound like ricky from i love lucy
The future Chuck sounds like a boring git.
He did cultivate a rather 'Ricky'- sounding voice. Too bad he didn't develop a mature dress sense. Those reindeer...
NO! WON!
My dad would kick me in the shin under the table if I didn't follow table manners. Once at a restaurant he made me do pushups outside because I cursed in front of my grandma.
😂😂😂
If I did something wrong at the table my Mom and/or Dad would poke me in the arm with a fork. And it frigging hurt! They did it to my sisters as well.
Sounds like an asshole who should have his mouth ripped out of his head. I don't give a single care for someone dying if they hate cursing, it's literally a "bad word" because the people who invented the exclamations were poor. And Christians hated on poor people. Fuck him
Why would you use obscenity in front of your grandmother? Don't you love and respect her??
If I done something like that, my dad would spank my butt. Sounds funny but it was painful.
Chuck is in his early 80's if he is still alive. Kind of a sad thought how time screws everyone.
Shouldn't he more interested in where and when he gets these powers.
Very good video. Makes it all seem logical (which it is.)
Thought this would be funny and dumb, but I’m sad to say I actually learned a few things
Good gosh my mother must of watched this video..I literally had a teacher write on my report card how good my manners were. Good grief.
I hope you let your mom know!
Chuck is a rebel thanks to the jazz music 😅
On behalf of Chucks everywhere, let me assure you that not all of us are this ill-mannered! LOL

Sadly, future Chuck is quite a bit larger than young Chuck. Which means he actually went out and bought that sweater *again,* in a bigger size!

I honestly laughed quite a bit during this video...just how nonchalant everyone is to the craziness around them (well except for table manners, duh) is just comic gold.
This is how the dialogue should be
Older Chuck: it's too bad you've already eaten
Younger Chuck: that's okay, I can go to the bathroom & make room for more.

I would have been beaten so badly 😂
I don't know how he doesn't recognize the older boy as himself, just look at the matching sweater. Oh boy I can barely tell them apart LOL
What was Chuck`s name again?
Good table manners is important.
Did anyone catch Barbara's last name at 1:50? It looks like "Miljević." Which I think is pretty cool given it's an Eastern European name. Most of these old video characters are very Anglo with names like Smith, Wilson, & Roberts.
