If it was Macgyver he’d just fix them with some paper and twine.
Just wondering how many viewers have no idea where this old Burgess Meredith clip comes from. Sadness.
Probably about the same number as those who have no idea who Burgess Meredith is.
*was
Judging by the 198 v 393 votes against this one, I’d say far too many. My dad wasn’t born yet, my mom was just a toddler when that episode aired, and I was conceived around the time Reagan became the Republican nominee for the presidency, and even I recognize it. Kids these days… suck.
I’m 14, and I found this hilarious. I agree that many kids don’t appreciate things made 3 years earlier than the current time. I’m just glad that I’m one of the few who recognize a good Twilight Zone when I see one.
Omg, I’m 14 too and I laughed at this too! I saw it because my teacher last year showed it to us. I liked that episode. It’s a shame this has more downvotes than upvotes.
652 vs 954 right now. Yeah, awesome that at least 3/5 of the internets don’t get this. . Also, good for you Dr. Rabbit. Culture wins for you.
Agree. Obviously, thumbs down are from those who don’t recognize good funny.
One of the saddest TZ’s ever.
Word.
This is my favorite episode. TZ Solidarity.
This was a sad episode. Really.
…
Come to think of it, I can’t name a Twilight Zone episode that had a happy ending.
The Eye Of The Beholder had a kinda happy ending.
AKA
THE PRIVATE WORLD OF DARKNESS.
Not a happy ending for the mom, but that episode with Talky Tina was happy for the little girl. Evil step-father died. And there’s this one with William Shatner (NOT The Gremlin) where he’s obsessed with this little devil headed thing that can predict the future and he manages to break away from it.
I Sing the Body Electric had a happy ending
To Serve Man had a happy ending…if you were a Kanamit!
This episode makes me teary every time…
And the voting makes me sad as well. What the hell, people?
Ditto on the teary-eyedness. Come on, I’m still in High School and I recognize this picture. What a sad world, that so many people don’t know the ‘lolwut’ and -tear- that is the Twilight Zone.
Come on! The Twilight Zone! This episode was epic! ^_^
Meh..
You would get it if you watched the Twilight Zone.
Poor dude
look at his face in the last one…
I guess people here aren’t cultured enough to recognize a classic Twilight Zone episode. Kudos
Still, you’d think some would recognize it from the “Scary Door” parody on ‘Futurama’ .
That Futurama parody was the best thing ever.
hmm
IT’S NOT FAIR!!
Funny!
Isn’t this from that Twilight Zone epipode “Enough Time at Last?“?
Yes.
This is a scene from twilight zone when the world ends and the man is left alone with all the books he wants to read and then he breaks his glasses.
Yeah, Epic fail…
It’s not fair, it’s not fair…
I banish you from this place. Be unfunny somewhere else.
I banish YOU from this place. Go miss the joke somewhere else.
Silly Twilight Zone, trying to be a Comix.
Clever use of that last shot.
I like the Twilight Zone reference, but it was done very poorly. Thumbs down.
How was it done poorly? I like it – funny twist on a classic episode.
Agreed. I thought this was genius. A witty modern twist on a classic pop culture reference.
how could that be unfunny??!!! that’s funny dude!!
It could have been worded better.
LMAO!
Well done!
Most people who thumbs downed this probably have never seen this episode of the Twilight Zone…sad…
Cmon guys! 2:1 dislikes? I thought it was pretty funny… From Twilght zone in case you didn’t know.
classic but arcane. too cerebral for the locals.
seconded. I’m glad I get it, that episode always makes me cry.
This.
Young’uns won’t understand the refrence. It’s a shame.
It’s not entirely our fault. Most of the reruns air after midnight and we have to go to school at eight.
I just bought the season sets! The Twilight Zone is to awesome to not watch
He should just read the books behind him… that shot kind of killed the funny for me. Or maybe I’m just pro-real-books.
Since you’re not one of us broken hipsters, look at the first frame. Now look at the last. Now back to the first. He’s not on a horse. His coke-bottle glasses broke. He’s blind as a bat and couldn’t read those books, even though he really REALLY wants to.
The books behind him is the POINT of the joke. /Captain Obvious.
Wrong.
I agree with your wrong
Ahem -
Burgess plays a man who loves to read in this episode, but no one gives him time to read. Especially not his shrew of a wife who hates his love of reading.
He ends up in a bank vault when a nuke goes off and everyone is killed except him. When he comes out he realizes he now has all the time in the world to read.
However, after organizing all the books he plans on reading over the years, he trips and breaks his glasses – without which, he’s as blind as a bat – so he can’t read. He finally has enough time to read – but now he can’t see the books at all.
It’s not fair.
And there, in a nutshell, is why a Kindle will never pollute my home with its Satanic stench.
Because it might touch off an atomic war and wipe out all life but you on the planet before causing you to break your glasses?
I really love how dudes are getting off in the comment section talking about how they’re so special for getting this pretty well-known pop culture reference.
Feel proud, do ya? lulz.
we’re saying that because no one my age even knows what the Twilight Zone is, we’re proud of knowing an influential TV show that others have forgotten.
The number of thumbs-down make me sad.
If you don’t get it, the full Twilight Zone episode is on YouTube in 3 parts:
Or there’s a 2-minute summary version that gives you the basics:
HI-LARIOUS. Thanks. Ive seen episodes of Twilight Zone but not this one.
STFU we know where the reference is from but it’s still not funny! the joke is exhausted
Ah, this episode makes me cry.
Lynn Venable and Rod Serling are brilliant.
Skruluce, not so much.
I think people got the twilight zone reference… but.. ya know, he can just plug the damn thing in.
except that if i remember correctly, he’s alone because it’s kind of the end of the world. . . which usually means no power. . .
No, power is just magickally around. If everyone died, the world would keep on working like it does. Toilets would work, microwavable food would continue to appear in the freezer, and all the gas pumps would work forever for free!
(Kids today are stupid.)
Harumph! this would be more funny…if Modern Family didn’t make that joke already
The classic “Twilight Zone” is (was) certainly one of the best things aired on TV about humankind and imagination.
With Dr Who…
… and some other things.
And the “Muppet Show”…
1959! I wish I was alive then so I could enjoy the genius of Rod Serling, instead, I get stuck with this “internet” business. I’d swap any day…
if I was 17 in 1959.. that would put me around the time of the doors in my 20′s! No downside.
holy crap… i actually GET this joke! and i’m only 14! i guess it’s a good thing we watched those twilight zone episodes in eighth grade. though i can’t quite remember why we watched those.
I LOVE that episode! <3
LOOL the thing stitched on the left side of whatever that is looks like a stickman jerking off XD
This is depressing 8[
I remember that episode.
I have always found that episode depressing.
But, I thought this use of it was funny!
Omfg, I watched that twilight episode in school. XD
Twilight zone FTW
