The red shirted kid's 'Bye' sounded so...1970s television. Hard to describe, I don't really know what I'm trying to say but it just fitted with the vibe so well.
Yes! Though it was my childhood in Yorkshire circa 1985. I took bribing to get in the bath as a kid, I just wanted to be outside at the park or playing in the garden.
Which is most fitting, as we basically see Kenneth de-rascalizing these two forest urchins. It leaves me wondering if his mighty comb technique coupled with spit-moistened napkin would have managed to abate Alfalfa's rebellious lightning rod-like hair... but I digress. Thanks for the tip! :^)
Spitting on a hanky and wiping a child's face. My grandma used to do that when i was little. I assumed plumbing just hadn't been invented before 1960 and it was how grown ups from those times washed.
On watching the first 1 minute 35 seconds of this, I was going to comment that "this recreates a large part of my youth in 1970s Liverpool", but the similarity abruptly ended at the point that Kenneth arrives with his ironing board bells, as any adult male appearing near a group of young lads "in the woods" was likely to be attacked with bricks, bottles and harangued all the way to his home where parents would gather round to "run him out of town". It wasn't the kids but the paedophiles who needed "safe spaces" back in our day. I do wish the real world was really more like Kenneth's world though.....
Born in 82, seeing these patches of wasteland become gentrified. Turned into ironic semi-urban restaurants with no power. Expensive leaves and mulch and stuff on a cold plate whilst some posh chump plays a 'piana'. Little bookshops with only four books. That kinda thing.
@@aesthetix3398 Some humour, which VERY much includes a lot of "Quentin's", has a dark and slightly unsettling aspect to it (just watch some more of his productions and you'll see). You can revel in its "darkness" WITHOUT being a "dark" personality. Have a nice day.
Ok so the first minute and a half looked to me like an outtake from Gummo. Then when ginger mushroom head appears...like...man, I dunno. But I couldn't... stop... watching.
Not only did this artiste use the authentic Our Gang / Little Rascals incidental music, but he actually played the bells along with it! TOP CLASS FIVE STARS 10/10!
I was just about to sort through my colouring in pencils while listening to an audio book. And 5minutes later I find myself with the answer to social non conformists. Bravo Mr Smirhes bravo indeed. Ps, I hope you provided a telephone box for those juveniles to change in.
Totally forgot how good this was Sean....genius pal. Loving the excessive over the top movements you make when you wipe the long haired boys face. Don't even get me started on the slick removal of the comb out of your pocket....just brilliant.
This was life for a council house kid in Chichester circa 1978 in Fordwater woods interacting with the escaped Loonies from Graylingwell mental asylum. Such sweet memories.
It's called BELLS by LeRoy Shields. Recorded by The Beau Hunks. Famous because it was one of the pieces of stock music written for the Hal Roach studios (Laurel & Hardy and The Little Rascals)
Sean, just watched it again after telling a friend "you like zombie films where the plucky hero tries to reverse the effects of society crumbling, there's a short film on CZcams..." Anyway, one thing that surprised me was you didn't end on a mid-air freeze frame. Very minor obviously, but you've used them very, very effectively on other films for the Hammer/PSA/70s sitcom vibe.
Hello Kenneth. I am an admirer. Now it looks like our house arrests are coming to an end I must admit that I am starting to resemble those young men. Will your chiming ironing board and spit polish be making the rounds soon? I could do with a bit of a brush up. Did I mention, I am an admirer? So is my wife.

Like ADR? Lots of midtones?
my mum says I am not allowed to watch your videos any more but I still watching them in secret.
Your mum is a wise woman.
Wish I had a mum
Me too
I think Quentin's finally balanced his meds.
Essentially an excerpt from the childhood of any child from north-west England on any given Sunday morning between 1972 and 1977.
Yes! Though it was my childhood in Yorkshire circa 1985. I took bribing to get in the bath as a kid, I just wanted to be outside at the park or playing in the garden.
Or the Milwaukee area, for that matter. I had a nearly identical parka.
Northwest uk 87 this still applied
If anybody cares, music is from the Little Rascals films from the 20's and 30's
I care. Thanks.
And Laurel and Hardy
Do a search for "Bells" by BEAU HUNKS - all their stuff is amazing.

'Hey kids... Wanna be in a movie ?'
I liked how the makeover also changed the boys' personalities and they became much more polite and amenable than they were before

Kids, don't to drugs! Otherwise Quentin will come and "take care of you", and you wouldn't want that, right?
Well, that’s another fine mess you’ve gotten them out of.
NICE mess! NICE mess! But yes. The Beau Hunks, by any chance?
Those bells. Pro level
Some friends and I took acid and watched this intentionally a couple of weeks back. It was fantastic.
This is high art.
The way that kid grimaces when he's about to be set upon by the spit tissue gets me every time.
I did it for real everytime, I shivered watching this, I'd forgotten this awful 70's memory
*Every time?* How many times have you watched it? Wasn't one trauma enough for you?
@@SimonHugginsDozens of times. It is a work of art. Granted there is a touch of darkness about it but you have to take the dark with the light.
That grimace was my real reaction!

Oh ok I thought the video was just random and funny.. that’s.. dark.. :/

@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 damn ok no need to be rude
1970's children's BBC TV would be a very dangerous place to be!
Ok so the first minute and a half looked to me like an outtake from Gummo. Then when ginger mushroom head appears...like...man, I dunno. But I couldn't... stop... watching.
Gummo rocks
I watched the whole thing and now feel I'm on a"list". This vid was amusingly strange!
I suddenly feel like taking a bath in funky water while eating spaghetti...
The beginning did have a Very Harmony Korine feel. Have you seen ‘Trash Humpers’.
@@canister9542 I did not. Is that a Korine piece as well?
Not the saviour they wanted but the one that they needed.
O my god. This is gorgeously insane.
this is the best one yet..made me laugh, but some of the other ones are just too weird and disturbing....😂
This is my favourite. The kids are great and the dancing superb. Cracks me up every time!
It's a masterpiece.
That spitting on the handkerchief just triggered an unprocessed rage deep within the most primal parts of my memory.
HOW COULD THIS BE A THING THAT EXISTS. I was hoping nobody else in the world has ever experienced this travesty of caregiving.
Feral woodland urchins were extremely common back in the 1970s and so was the cue all @gob on the Hanky' remedy
You have summed up my childhood perfectly.
Did you get fiddled with?
@@new-world-soul If I answer yes then i9t awser most likely done by you
The alternative ending to "threads"
😂
skipping in the meadows...that`'s a fine way to spend time. thanks quentin.
This is hope in these dark days.
A year on this still gives me hope
Two years on this still gives me hope
Three years on this still gives me hope
Four years on this still gives me hope

Brilliant! Watching it all over again and notice all details. Its not just fun - its all about how we react on it. Both scary absurd and over the top!
That music brings back so many good memories.
Aaahahahahaaaaargh!
A salute to 1970s childhood!!
In a world full of sadness and cruelty, this warms my heart.
Who... let this guy near kids?..
Who will let me near anyone since this in my web history now?..
What?
@@aesthetix3398 what do you mean "what"?
Have you seen the video?
Thank god he's wearing pants this time.
@@OdaVenom umm ok I don’t think his videos are what you think they are
I need a shower
Beautiful redheaded Mary Poppins!
We need more youth clubs.
I was just about to sort through my colouring in pencils while listening to an audio book. And 5minutes later I find myself with the answer to social non conformists. Bravo Mr Smirhes bravo indeed.
Ps, I hope you provided a telephone box for those juveniles to change in.
Everyone was great in this! Well done chaps!
Now I know where to go when I need to change up my style
Heartwarming
Your hair is perfect
The music was stuck in my head for ages! It’s ‘Bells’ by The Beau Hunks. Now all I need is a set of those bells...
The music was also used in Laurel and Hardy films
@@weenswong6886that's where I remember it from 😅
Not the sort of grooming I was expecting from a man in the woods!
I realy like the part with the bells.
Literally a creepy guy grooming two vulnerable young men. Oh Quentin, I hope the Daily Mail don't stumble upon this.
That was Kenneth, not Quentin. Striking family resemblance tho.
I mean you are technically not wrong
The Gummo sequel looks awesome.
Kenneth getting the youth presentable. Proper growing up, had nothing, made everything fun
Wow.....this video was just like salsa,only square!!!!!!
Thanks Quentin
A happy ending then
Totally forgot how good this was Sean....genius pal. Loving the excessive over the top movements you make when you wipe the long haired boys face. Don't even get me started on the slick removal of the comb out of your pocket....just brilliant.
my hair's even longer now :D
@@spood8434 ....only cool people have long hair....end of story.
Now EVERYTHING makes sense.

WHEREYAGOWIN NOW????
@quentinsmirhes2977 Now? Me going to the toilet then band rehearsals. Still live in Chichester... the hospital closed down years ago. What you doing?
Hahahah U made me think of that feller in The Machine Gunners that always shouted "WHEREYAGOIN NOW?"@@FromaTwistedMind
Oh you are a mucky kid, derty as a dustbin lid, when cousin Quent sees the things that you did, he'll play you his ironing board.
I tell you that!
That rhyme takes me back to watching Gimme, Gimme, Gimme lol
Genius. 👌🏻✨
You could set your watch to that haircut!
Johnny Unitas?
@@nigeldowsett8560 damn straight!
Kenneth is everyone's fairy godmother.
I want to live in this world.
We didn't have outreach programmes like this in the North East.
Masterpiece
*Excellent but would have liked to have seen more earthworms.*
seriously fucking bonkers my head is fucked I dont know what to think and I can get that tune out of my head ... oooof!
The bells. Lol
This is how it's done!🤣
*~ splendid! ~*
superb! when can i get an appointment?
It would be funny if, at the beginning, some little titles popped up at the bottom of the screen that said
"Seattle, 1991"
Mary Popper
Genius
Well, thanks for looking after my kids. Can I have them back now please?
I prefer the children's music. Quentin, what have you done to their beautiful souls?!
I'm crying!
Whats the title and artist of the song? Great video btw :)
It's called BELLS by LeRoy Shields. Recorded by The Beau Hunks. Famous because it was one of the pieces of stock music written for the Hal Roach studios (Laurel & Hardy and The Little Rascals)
Live action Salad Fingers
If I hadn't have seen them, I'd never had known it was them.
Is this watch with Mother, I liked that
very recommended
Not only the Kenneth we want, but the Kenneth we need. AND an ironing board too! So Sorry, comment has been de-Quentinified.
Oh my goodness! I've just realised and my sincere apologies to Kenneth.
This is so utterly fucked up on every level... I love it.
Bring back the knickerbockers I say!
Thanks quentin
Man you are my favorite 😍
By the way i dabled with mushrooms before 🤗

Quimples at his worst.
Very nice of you to give those urchins a much-needed makeover
Isn t this guy his cousin?
Anyway, great, jooouust grrrrrät!
Löv it
Wonderful. Spit-on-hanky-wiping-face; incidental Laurel & Hardy music. What's not to like?
Gosh.
💚
And he was never seen again
Worm
And then that happened.
Here we go, he's started on the children. I suppose it was inevitable.
Ja! Ja! Ja!
😂😂
Can anyone tell me what music is this, please?
Wtf is walter white doing with these children? And why is he wearing that wig??
So it's confirmed? Quentin is running for US President 2020?
I mean. This is the campaign video right?
lol
Hello Kenneth. I am an admirer. Now it looks like our house arrests are coming to an end I must admit that I am starting to resemble those young men. Will your chiming ironing board and spit polish be making the rounds soon? I could do with a bit of a brush up. Did I mention, I am an admirer? So is my wife.
