#TheNakedGun #moviereaction #firsttimewatching - Zábava
someitmes ya just have to laugh the night away - enjoy!
By the way, RIP OJ Simpson. Whatever he has done, it is now God's job to judge him.
The same people that created this and Airplane also did a movie in 1984 called "Top Secret" starring Val Kilmer. You'd love it Amelia, it's got some great shot scenes.
What was favorite part
Denmark here, I'm not quite a Nielsen myself, but my mother's sister and that part of my Family are all Nielsen's and I hope you are also going to watch the naked gun 2½ and 33½, but I also recommend Dracula: Dead and Loving It, though he has done loads of movies and TV series. Btw, when Leslie Nielsen died a hilarious obituary for the opera singer "Enrico Pallazzo" was published in his honor, that you can go look up.
Leslie Nielsen's mother was from Wales and his father was actually a police officer, being an immigrant from Denmark who joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. His brother became the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada for a few years in the 80's and his half-uncle was the Danish-American actor Jean Hersholt who twice was awarded an honorary Oscar and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
There are a few secretly funny part's (at least to us Danes) like when he said "Dutch-Irish, my father was from Wales", because in real life Leslie Nielsen's father was from Denmark (the city of Esbjerg) and his mother was from Wales, so he was neither Dutch or Irish, but he deliberately switched the "Wales" part from his mother to his father in this joke, to make a hint that he originally is half Danish, he then go on to invite Priscilla Presley out for dinner, saying that he knows this out of the way place, that serve great (Danish) Viking food.
I've seen this movie a million times
Watching naked gun on the day OJ passed, awesome timing!
The lovely ladies at Movie Munchies also posted Naked Gun yesterday, but it was just a fluke, it's highly doubtful they've ever heard of him.
Well, his soul can rest easy now, knowing his wife’s killer has died.
@@johndough3809 norm!?
Weird Al actually took a date to watch "The Naked Gun".
Al was wearing the same outfit as in the film as a joke.
He appears in all 3 Naked Gun films
And apparently his date did NOT recognize him!
@@platinumspider7859 and we cant forget Al's amazing intro song for spy hard
@@deathmetalmoccasins2412 NTM his own legendary spoof, UHF.
Ah, the younglings who will never know of red dyed pistachio nuts.
When I was a kid, I could never figure out why pistachio nuts were red and pistachio ice cream was green.
I remember reading about them in a book in my early teen years and thinking “Huh?! Pistachios aren’t red!” 😂
@@bobbuethe1477 apparently they dusted them a reddish pink to make them more appetizing as their shells were splotchy.
Trying to remember when they stopped with the dye..sometime in the 90s.
The red dyed ones were less expensive than the natural ones.
*(Yes you can use a credit card to open a locked door)* the joke is he's going through several credit cards because he keeps getting declined to open
Like using the wrong key
@@normandrake3292 Yeah
But I was basically trying to answer a question she was asking if you can really open a locked door with a credit card and you can depending on the mechanism
If there's no lip on the door and the lock is the kind that you can push shut and the bolt doesn't latch further when closed, then the bolt is in the same position when the door is closed as it is when the door is open. Then you can simply use the card to push the sloped backside of the bolt to slide it in out of the way - essentially emulating that side of the bolt hitting the doorjamb when the door is pushed shut - and pull the door open.
He gets the door open with the American Express. Hah!
The opening sequence ends at a donut shop - a standing joke is that cops hang out at donut shops (rather than "walking the beat").
Stemming from the 1950s when there wasn't really much for police to do but hang out at the donut shoppe, (formerly called until coffee shops took over).
Back when there was still a Krispy Kreme here, I would often see up to four cop cars in the lot of the Krispy Kreme, whenever I was in the area - sometimes in addition to having two cruisers meeting door to door, in the open area of the lot.
"Ted, why?!" There are so many classic moments but that's my favourite. George Kennedy does a great job in this movie.
Shooting Ed with the tranquilizer was a good gag, but the "Why?" with the hurt, betrayed tone in George Kennedy's voice elevated it to another level.
I've always prefered the moment when they're searching at the entrance to the Queen's reception and Frank grabs his wallet, ahahahaahah!
@@mguerra79you think we were born yesterday ?
@@dildodickings2668 «anyone here seeing Fred's wife»?
@@dildodickings2668 *Frank's wife!
"Would this be considered slapstick?" She asked, as Leslie Nelson gets slapped in the face with a door he opened.
23:51 They're eating pistachios which used to come dyed red to hide natural mottling. The dye (depending on how many you ate and how you broke open the hard to open shell) would stain your fingers and lips. But they are no longer dyed and come in a natural beige shell.
The pistachios were dyed with FD&C No. 5, and there was a study that showed that it caused cancer, so the FDA banned it. Personally, when eating natural pistachios, I never really think about what they look like. Perhaps, they're forced to toss out the bad looking ones. Don't know.
@@jeremygeorgia4943the embargo’s against Iran made them hard or impossible to import so they started growing them domestically and since they were harvested and processed immediately they didn’t stain so they didn’t need to be dyed.
They were frequently dyed green as well. As a kid in the 90's, sometimes we'd have red ones, sometimes green.
@@trekkiejunk I never knew that. I've only ever seen the red ones and the natural ones. Thanx for your input.
O.J. Simpson was considered for the role as The Terminator but they didn't think he was a believable killer atleast beyond a reasonable doubt.
Who knew!
Great comment. Two jokes in one. Kudos buddy.
Come on man lay off O.J. He had one bad night, you going to let that define his whole life?
@@ckobo84 That's not funny.
@@Scruffyman81 O.J. Simpson was in a short list of potential actors for the role of terminator in 1984's THE TERMINATOR. That part is real.
It's part slapstick, part deadpan humor and part light-hearted drama. Great recipe for this kind of comedy movie.
And O. J. Simpson just died.
Never gets old momentarily washes away whatever worries i seem to have for another time. Leslie Neilsen is one of the 20 th century's funniest actors. Pure escapist comedy from the 80s.
So considerate of you to have this ready for O.J.'s death!
Thank you for the reaction. :)
The timing of this is perfect!
"Slapstick" refers to physical comedy. Classic one would be a man slips on a banana peel.
According to Wikipeidia: "Slapstick is a style of humor involving exaggerated physical activity that exceeds the boundaries of normal physical comedy. Slapstick may involve both intentional violence and violence by mishap, often resulting from inept use of props such as saws and ladders.
"The 'slap stick' consists of two thin slats of wood, which makes a 'slap' when striking another actor, with little force needed to make a loud-and comical-sound. . . . Contemporary examples of slapstick humor include The Three Stooges, The Naked Gun and Mr. Bean." (Yes, they listed this movie as a great example.)
Technically, it's farce rather than slapstick.
@@user-mg5mv2tn8qwhat’s the difference?
Finally! A reactor who on their own accord decided to stay for the credits!
You've earned a like from me!
It makes an old man happy that you actually realize what is happening in the opening scene.
So many people do not know who the characters are in that scene.
I grew up watching the world unfold with those leaders in place.
There is hope after all.
Thank you.
Definitely watch the sequels. They are both really funny
I saw the third one in the theater. It was filmed over - but released after - the infamous murders. The laughter at his name in the credits (and his first appearance on screen) was very loud.
Great reaction, i love this movie, and Leslie Nielsen is epic. This movie is based off the short-lived show "Police Squad!" from 1982, where the Frank Drebin character was originated by Leslie Nielsen. It was cancelled by ABC after only four of the six episodes aired. Apparently it was because you really had to pay attention to the show to catch a lot of the humour in the show. Sounds like a weird reason for cancellation, doesn't it? There are some fun-facts about it. John Houseman as the driving instructor. He was one of the most significant figures in American theater. Along with Orson Welles he co-founded the Mercury Theatre, and co-produced Citizen Kane. He was the first head of the Drama Division at the Julliard School. He founded The Acting Company with members of the first graduating class of the Julliard acting program, including Patti LuPone, Kevin Kline, David Ogden Stiers, and a dozen others. In his long career he produced or directed some forty Broadway plays and thirty-three films. It was John Houseman’s final film role It was only rather late in life that he began acting.
The red things, that Frank and Ed were eating in the car, were pistachios. There are conflicting stories as to why, but the shells were dyed red here in the States; that practice started dying off during the '80s. That was a big pile of pistachio shells outside Frank's car door. Priscilla Presley had never done comedy before. She was cast by ZAZ for the same reason that other actors mostly known for serious roles were put in their movies: it makes the dry parody even funnier. Presley had worked on the show Dallas. Zucker often quipped that the only problem with her was when her ex, Elvis, visited the set. The terrorist organization that Frank attacks and beats up in the opening scene was written as a nod to S.P.E.C.T.R.E., the terrorist organization in the James Bond film franchise. The theme song of this movie was played at nielsen’s funeral. Nielsen passed away on November 28, 2010 at the age of 84 and was laid to rest in Fort Lauderdale. Dominik Hauser’s theme played as the Canadian Mounted Police carried his coffin. Keep up the good work.
In the "open mic" scene i appreciate the little detail where Frank has to change beltpacks. Muting mic channels is the job of a sound engineer who is monitoring the sound and managing the sound console. But since Frank doesn't have the same beltpack he doesn't use the channel he is suppose to. The sound engineer muted Franks original channel. Letting the sound engineer off the hook, at least partly is a nice touch that warms this sound engineers little cold heart.
And yes, i've heard people in toilets several times, and them talking shit about other cast members too. And no, i don't blast that in the control room, i mute the channel immediately when it is not something that is suppose to be heard by me or anyone. I've learned long time ago that if you are not suppose to know something, it is better to not know it. Even if, and maybe the most importantly, when it is about you... unless it is praise and in that case.. yeah, i got an ego to feed.
I enjoy watching younger YT reactors watching to these films for the first time. This is one of the first comedy films I remember making me laugh uncontrollably, aged about 5 when it first showed here on TV in Ireland circa 1990. Leslie's dead pan delivery. Specifically the "Bingo!" joke when he opens the drawer (it's one of the few jokes I could understand at that age). It's informed my sense of humour as an adult ever since, and I'll be 40 in November.
That device that turns people into mindless robots. = TICKTOK
Weird Al has been around forever! It's incredible how long has career has lasted.
references:
kitchen boiling scene = "Fatal Attraction" (1987)
programmed assassins = "The Manchurian Candidate" (1962 original)
Mayor's office shooting actors in park story = "Dirty Harry" (1971)
leaving the theater laughing: "Platoon" (1986) is a serious, violent, war drama
Plus a couple references to Casablanca.
Those were not candy hearts; they were pistachios. in the 80s, there were sanctions against Iran; the #1 producer of pistachios at the time. But the supply had blotches so they dyed them red. And Dr. Brother was a famous columnist along side Dear Abby. Congratulations! You are the first to react to the credits. THey are very good.
Love that you watched through the credits!! I work in the industry as well and always stick around to see if there's anyone I know. Definitely remember to watch the full credits if you react to "Hot Shots" or "Hot Shots Part Deux". Some good stuff in there :)
I'm just imagining Leslie Nielson sneaking into hell wearing a red robe, carrying a pitchfork just to find OJ and kick his ass, "And don't ever let me catch you in Heaven!"
I imagined O.J. on the up escalator only to find Norm MacDonald waiting for him at the top.
Such a fun movie. When Leslie Nielsen died ESPN wrote an short and funny tribute/obituary for Enrico Pallazzo that's online and worth a read.
The Naked Gun, Airplane and Hotshots are my gotos for off-the-wall, goofy hilarity. All three are a perfect blend of slapstick and one-liners. The setups and payoffs are brilliant.
He'd be more qualified to play Wolverine than the Terminator. Hey, you said it lol.
24:10 It's actually called "shimming" a lock, and it does work on locks that allow you too close the lock while the lock is locked because the latch has to retract as the lock is being closed, and so if you insert a piece of metal or plastic into the lock from the right direction, it will force the latch to retract and allow you to open the lock. This is why doors and gates are designed so that it's difficult get a shim into the lock. In real life ,Vietnam War Prisoner Of War Dieter Dengler (who Christian Bale played in the movie "Rescue Dawn" - excellent movie BTW) used a type of shim to free himself and other POWs from their handcuffs as the first step in their escape. On the other hand, "jimmying" is using something like a pry bar for leverage to force a door or lock open.
"Who are you, and how did you get in here?"
"I'm A. Locke Smith, and I'm a locksmith"
😁 (Police squad classic dialogue)
@@MrEAus Police Squad was crazy, but it was also very clever.
Yeah, I remember trying that trick around the time this movie came out, but the lock told me it didn’t accept Discover cards. 😕
I would classify slapstick comedy as being more of a physical type of humor. Like the Three Stooges. Naked Gun is a combination of slapstick and wit (if the use of puns can be considered witty).
I loved how you averted your eyes at the racier scenes. That was adorable 😄
When I saw the sign at the doughnut shop, "Dozen doughnuts, $1.99", I cried at inflation. Twelve for two bucks? Were I come from, it's more like 2 doughnuts for $12.
When Drebin says "I shoot the bastard, that's my policy!" That's a spoof of Clint Eastwwod's famous Dirty Harry character's line.
this a rare genre of movie that is rarely found nowadays. its called comedy.
On the stakeout they were eating pistachio nuts.
They used to dust the nut hulls in a red powder to cover up minor defects in the hulls.
People used to think the defects meant the nut inside was bad when I reality is wasn't.
They no longer dust the shells.
By "people" I assume you mean "Americans" as I have never seen this done anywhere else.
@@-Devy- They quit coating the shells in the mid 1970s due to domestic pistachio production increasing and less importing from Iran and other nations who the US use to import from.
As far as other nations I cannot speak to if they dyed pistachios or not.
I love it when people younger than me Just a generation later get to view something it's cool because you see different things. It's also kind of sad because some of the references no longer have meaning I know
The first batter was a major league baseball player named Jay Johnstone. Also Reggie Jackson (the outfielder with the gun). The umpire that said 'You can't throw an umpire out of the game' was a real major league umpire named Joe West. There are others.
Lawrence Tierney as the Angels manager. With his reputation, it’s kind of surprising that _he_ wasn’t the one who pulled the gun. 😅
@@0okamino Bahahaha
When i was a kid watching this when this movie came out, that bathroom fart scene made me rewind the VHS over and over as it made me laugh so much xD
I thought that the police chief would be so exasperated by detective Frank Drebin's bungling that she herself was going to try and wack him !
Usually this genre is referred to as "crazy comedy", but yes, it also has a lot of slapstick humor.
Amelia, Leslie Nielson is so Hilarious! In the first scene, they are satirizing Mikhael Gorbachev, he was one of the youngest and last leaders of the Soviet Union (Russia)from 1985-1992. He loosened up the political and economic systems in the country. His diplomatic cooperation with Presidents Reagan and Bush 41 and his internal Policies helped the Soviet Union collapse in late 1991. If you want another great film, I recommend or rerecommend if I did already "The Delta Force, a great action film from 1986, starring Chuck Norris and Lee Marvin, based on the true story of the 1985 TWA Passenger Hijacking by terrorists. George Kennedy, who plays Captain Ed Hocken, plays a supporting role in the film. The film is serious, but still great. Great Job on the reaction, Amelia.
Can't believe how hard I laughed at the apartment fire/concrete sex toy skit! 🤣 🤣🤣
29:09 "All employees must wash hands _before_ using restroom."
Ricardo Montalbán. In the same echelon as Cary Grant. The Wrath of Kahn if you like sci-fi. Fantasy Island if you want to see him in a t.v. series. All round just excellent in everything he did.
chrysler cordoba if you want to see him in a commercial.
Thankyou for including one of my personal favorite unappreciated jokes in the movie, Frank going for a walk to think and ends up in the middle of nowhere.
The secretary Dominique is the mother of the two directors David and Jerry Zucker. She's in most of their movies
"Slapstick" refers primarily to physical comedy, like throwing pies or sliding on banana peels. There are elements of physical comedy in the Naked Gun series, but primarily it is what is called "absurdist comedy", a long string of absurd elements played out by characters who (mostly) seem to be blissfully unaware that they are talking and behaving like idiots.
Gotta say this. "my mother the car" sitcom, might have been before Herbie the Lovebug. :) The genius about this movie is Leslie Nielsen was known for making serious detective/cop movies long before Airplane. But his most famous role before this was the lead in the sci fi classic Forbidden Planet. And did anyone mention, the lead female in this is Priscilla Presley? Elvis' ex. I knew you were going to ask what they were eating in the car. Pistachio nuts. They used to put a red powder on the shells that got all over the place back in the day. Oh, Reggie Jackson, the assassine baseball player played himself.
Another funny movie with a.....minor criminal content theme, is "Something about Mary."
_Thank you for staying through the end credits!!!_
Slapstick is so not political in any way. It's all that good over-the-top physical jokes like the pie in the face and banana peels. It's the stuff guys like Charlie Chaplin, The Three Stooges and Buster Keaton were doing. This trilogy is definitely slapstick.
25:02 There you go. This whole scene is one big slapstick homage, down to the music.
We preferred dad spinning us on the teacups to Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. 😅
Now you need to do the other two Naked Gun movies. With OJ Simpson passing away today all three of the main characters are now deceased
25:59 Amelia: "That grab." Looks away. Me: "Wait for it..."
I was particularly worried at 14:01 when she looked to be about to drink from her can... just before the crazy car shooting scene..!
I was like "NOOO! Don't do it Amelia!"
@@MrEAus Yes. Taking a drink while watching a comedy is to risk spit takes or liquid shooting out your nostrils.
@@waterbeauty85 all over her monitor and keyboard potentially, yes 😬🤦🏼♂️
I remember Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyworld. :)
Naked gun is like Pink Panther in a movie.
Ya, Drebin doing cartwheels and flips all over the room was a direct spoof of Pink Pather.
Team names/logos are trademarked. Small trivia-in movie "City Slickers" Billy Crystal (a Yankee fan in real life) wore a Mets hat because the Yankees wanted too much money and Mets just let them use theirs, leading to a special thank you to Mets in credits.
Amazing. I remember when companies gave things away with their name on it for the free advertising. Then they discovered people were stupid enough to pay them for the privilige. Someone with the Yankees organization should have been introduced to some farm machinery.
I am old enough to remember Mr. Toads Wild Ride. I rode it the same year I fell off the Pirates of the Caribbean ride (I was being a bone head and back then you weren't really strapped in well) and had to be rescued from the big pool towards the end. I was 8.
I have mixed feelings about Disney world but not about this reaction. You did a great job!
impeccable timing to watch this the day O J passed away , on that note comic timing is so on point with this movie .🤣
It's great the way you pay such good attention to the movie AMELIA and just flow along with your comments .
that mound of stuff blocking Dreeben's cardoor were pistacio nut shells that he'd been eating [i use to see them in pool halls i never understood why they were dyed red ] 🤷♂
this was the right touch of humor i needed for tonight [and yes it is slapstick humor !]
i'm definitely enjoying your reactions Amelia i have missed a couple but i will go back and catch up
Cheers for this 💯
Pistachios were, at one time, dyed pink to hide blemishes.
In the car they were eating pistachios that shells were dyed red. You don't really see that any more but years ago it was common to find pistachios dyed red and they would stain your fingers and mouth. Glad that practice has stopped.
i was never a fan of those red dyed pistachios - too messy. I am more likely to toss a bag of pistachios in my shopping card now adays since they are not dyed (especially if they are on sale).
RIP Leslie Neilsen
'Nordberg" was played by the infamous O J SIMPSON.
Based on the failed TV series "Police Squad" which was cancelled after 6 episodes I believe. Those were pistachio nuts. They used to dye the shells red.
The show is so terrific. I can't believe it didn't go further! Although, as it's been mentioned, it doesn't work very well if you start watching it any time after the start. You'd be completely lost and likely not understand many of the jokes or what was going on.
Police Squad was in 1982, and Naked Gun was 1988. That's why all the food in Frank's refrigerator was spoiled. He'd been off in TV limbo for six years. 😊
"Slapstick" is just physical comedy. Pratfalls, crotch-hits, pies-in-the-face, etc. It's considered lowbrow humor because it doesn't take a whole lot of context or backstory to laugh at someone falling on their a$$, but physical comedians like Buster Keaton and Jackie Chan have been known to set up uniquely memorable, jaw-droppingly elaborate stunts and gags.
In old comedia del arte shows, there was an actual prop called a "slapstick" that you could hit your castmates with that would make a loud slapping sound without actually hurting them too much.
Hope you're feeling better. Great reaction. The sequels are worth a reaction also.
This is slapstick yes. It was from a 6 episode TV show that was on CBS in 1982 called "Police Squad" of course. You should watch all six episodes. Very funny.
20:16 "I'm boiling a roast."
🤔What a Scottish activity.
"How hot and wet do you like it?"
🤔What a French question.
That fatal Attraction parody with her at the stove boiling the roast is hilarious 😂
If you need to be told what’s slapstick you’re watching the wrong movie.
I get such a kick watching younger people react to classic movies. Easily one of the funniest movies ever made. I saw this in the theater when I was like 12. I have never seen a group of people laugh so hard. It still makes my face hurt in middle age. Thanks for the laughs. You're smart. Subscribed.
Edit. I grew up in LA on the edge of the entertainment industry. SFX, set design and art. There's so much stuff in this film that is lost on non-natives. Example.. The California Angels playing at DODGER STADIUM. Angel Stadium is like 50 miles away.
Yes, this is considered slapstick. I remember Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland.
Can you imagine how much fun it must have been to make this movie?
This is Spoof Comedy (mocking other films acting, tone, story styles - this one in general is like an old school Cop Noir film with a serious tone, but the content is non-serious obviously), Slapstick (clumsy / accidental / funny physical harm), Satire, Ridiculous Humor, and Literal Humor... just to name a few. Part 2 is def worth the watch. You might like it even better.
Most doors are stupidly easy to open. A piece of plastic to wiggle it open when it's not actually locked works on a lot of older doors.
Pistachios were dyed red with red dye #5 which is a carcinogen.
It was taken off the market decades ago.
“Jokes that wouldn’t fly in today’s world” are the best jokes. End of statement
Baseball team names are trademarked, If you were questioning because of the team being named the California Angels , that is because at hat time that was their name, before they became Anaheim Angels and now their ridiculous name.. personally i enjoyed the CA Angels.
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was me and my sister's favorite growing up. She and I made a trip to Disney World for the final night it was open and we were among the last to ride it. I also got a souvenir on that final ride. I reached up and grabbed a handful of hay from the bail that drops down at you and I still have it.
That’s awesome!! I’ve had a nostalgic connection to MTWR over the years because I have two very distinct memories of it: The maid dropping dishes in the kitchen, and of course the train coming at you in the tunnel. Being only three years old at the time and not being able to separate fantasy from reality, it left a mark on me 😅 even before I knew the name of the ride or my memory was completely developed, I remember those two images in my mind VERY clearly.
I've only watch a few of your videos, but so far, Amelia has been my favorite of your merry band of reactors.
This movie includes a lot of slapstick, but it also has many other forms of humor.
24:11 Yep credit card can be used to jimmy a door open...provided the door swing opens inward. And it does NOT work on a dead bolt.
Naked gun, hot shots, and the crazy airplane movies are just pure gold... Pinnacle of an era...
agreed !
And nearly everybody misses the accidental pocket search of his partner leading to the great joke. "Hey he has a picture of your wife"
They do? Not in the reactions i've seen. They all seem to get it.
Is this slapstick you asked? No, slapstick is Naked Gun
leslie nielsen ...superb actor....and a lovely reaction my lady...great video!
It's possible to open a door with a credit card, though most outdoor locks and inside doors that are meant to be secure are designed to prevent that, now. The issue stems from many non security indoor locks only preventing the handle from turning, instead of also securing the bolt. This allows you to close the door, even when it's locked. However, it also allows you to pry the bolt back, if you can get some leverage. A card will work nicely, because of how the bolt on self closing doors is shaped.
OJ Simpson, RIP. Comic genius!
So glad you didn’t edit out some of the funniest parts of the movie! Great job!
Yes, please react to the sequels.
Is this slapstick? Hell yes!
The world leaders provided some political satire, but this was more social satire as a seasoning in a stew of 1970s cop TV show cliches (and movies too. That “shoot the bastard” line from the Shakespeare in the Park bit is largely verbatim from a line in 1971’s “Dirty Harry”). The same team had a short-lived “Police Squad” TV series five years earlier that was more blatant in its callbacks to these classic shows, e.g., “Columbo,” “Kojak,” “Starsky and Hutch,” et al. Only the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” video comes close to how well the Zuckers captured that retro vibe.
Not cinnamon hearts, but pistachios. They used to be dyed red to hide the defective ones, but the dye rubs off on your hands and mouth. That was the joke, to make it look like they had lipstick on.
In my freshman year in college, I would use a plastic strip to jimmy the door open to the roof of my rooming house, so my friends and I could suntan while studying.
I've always called it crazy-comedy style.
Ya gotta watch police squad. And always watch the credits to the end in every ZAZ film.
LMAO! "I guess those come in handy". LMAO!
Not Cinnamon Hearts. Those were red pistachios. Up until the 1970s, it was almost impossible to find pistachios that didn’t leave fiery-red powder on your fingers. Red pistachios began becoming rare in the 1980s because of a limit on pistachio imports from the Middle East. Plus, there was a huge increase in American grown pistachios produced through advanced harvesting methods. Due to the advanced methods, there was no need to dye the pistachios because they didn’t have stains anymore. The red dye might leave a vibrant trail, but it doesn’t affect the flavor at all. The pistachios we all eat today aren’t missing out on any extra flavor without the added dye.
Dyeing pistachios red went out of style in the 1980s, when California growers became the largest source of pistachios for the American market and chose to distribute undyed nuts.
There are two competing stories that explain why pistachio shells used to be red.
In one version, the crimson hue originated with a pistachio vendor named Zaloom in Brooklyn, New York, around the turn of the 20th century. He decided to dye his nuts to make his products stand out from the competition. According to the tale, Zaloom’s dyeing process quickly took hold and became the standard for pistachios in the United States.
Dr. Bob Klein, the former manager of the California Pistachio Research board, shared a slightly different version with farmprogress.com. Pistachios were colored red to cover unsightly but natural markings on the nuts’ shells, he explained. American processors would dye the nuts, which were mostly imported from Iran, before distributing them.
Hi Amelia, it's great you've seen this comedy classic. Please react to Aliens (1986) next :)
This would ABSOLUTELY be considered slapstick!😜
