This video was great!
I had to run into Walmart yesterday to pick up an item when I realised I was a bit dehydrated. I was not going to pay $2.79 for an 8 oz bottle of water. I was at the back of the store so took a chance on the water fountain by the restrooms. The fountain was sparkling clean, the water icy cold and tasty. What a freaking surprise! A store employee saw my shocked expression and told me that fountain is actually filtered. They also clean it throughout the day. It's a well known secret amongst the employees. They use the fountain to fill the water bottles they carry around the store while working.
Buy a Brita Water Filter.
I love how you manage to find a song for any inanimate object. Excellent work, as always! đ
Iâd say itâs Pennâs special talent! Thanks for watching
It's the awesome ADHD brain đ§ đȘđż đ
And now they have water fountains that are also water bottle filling stations.
Complete with bacteria!
Those are my favorite! Filtered and cold and space to quickly fill my bottle!
High School drinking fountains were the craziest! They had wildly differing pressure, so one always overshot the basin, while another one trickled out so little as to be unusable. Good times!
And you never knew when it might just hit you in the face!
The teachers counting đ
I like how you add the behind the scenes at the end.
"At least put the toilet seat down." Bahaha! :D
In my best Charlie Berens voice "You mean a bubbler?"
You beat me to it!!!! LOL!
Well, they ARE bubblers. It was created in Wisconsin and called as such because it bubbled up. A water fountain is a decoration at a park đ€·ââïžâČïž You can drink from them if you'd like. But a bubbler is indeed a bubbler. Just like people calling a carbonated beverage soda, pop, coke, or even soda pop. I prefer soda, but even in Wisconsin, depending on the region, I've heard it every way. It is what it is at the end of the day lol. It's not that serious except the coke one to me is a bit confusing only because I think it's just dumb to add an extra step to ordering what specific kind you want (or just accepting an actual Coke lol). To each their own, though.
Yep. Wisconsin rules
The Racine Zoo was where I remember the bubbler the most back in the late 50âs, 60âs.
How did we survive our childhood! I agree it is a film!
Only 3 ounces of water at a time!
I want a t-shirt that says âI survived a â70âs childhoodâ, with stick figures biking along busy roads, walking on railway tracks, and drinking from water fountains!
Was to keep the line moving. Both to keep the row of kids patient for their turn, and because there was only a short amount of time for it.
Movie is a moving picture, so yeah, it is a short movie!
How many Flu Bugs did we bring home to our parents?
Queen homage is spot on!
Thank you đ
I still use them! And sometimes when I run, I choose routes in the moment that have water fountains. Life savers!!
The toilet seat should ALWAYS be down! WTG Penn
Our downtown had bubblers with ice cold Bull Run water from our beautiful water shed. It was the best part of a day trip in the summer! And public works kept them functional and clean. Oh the good old daysâŠ
I miss water fountains. Free hydration in a time of need.
Thanks, Covid.
I love how you bring back all the memories of my childhood. Thank you!
So much simpler. My kidsâ water bottles are the bane of my existence
It's so true! And everywhere we went my mom always told me not to let my mouth touch the water fountain... Good times! đIt's sad what children of today are missing out on.
Thank you for the tribute and the memories â„
The water fountain in the public library was (is?) The worst, hot, and tasted like pure metal.
All the parks in my city are required to have water fountains and theyâre usually pretty good. I love them, they better not be going anywhere! But Iâm super thankful for water bottles too! Great song! By the way I absolutely love your new book! Especially the part about seeking stimulation and emotional flooding. Finally I donât feel alone and like a bad kid for still having meltdowns at 15
The current ones that are reusable yes.
Conversely, in my area all the water fountains have been *removed* from the parks and public buildings. If you want a drink you have to bring your own or buy water from the machine by the restrooms.
This is the most epic full-length feature film Iâve ever seen! I loved the 4 Pennâs queen shoutout!
More often than not, the public water fountain doesn't work. But if it does work the water pressure trickles out a little or you get a jet that puts your eye out.
Exactly! We had these amazing things called "drinking fountains" at school, at work, in malls, at Disneyland, everywhere! The water might have been warm, and sometimes came out at a trickle, but it was there!
The Four Penns are perfection!
We had to pay homage!
"Just Penn" oh the burn... Public water fountains and garden hoses. Nice tune, loved the 4 Penn Queen parts too.
I love your behind the scene looks at all your videos. Thanks for including those.
As a runner, public water fountains are a life saver!!
The sound of the compressor kicking on and thenâŠ. cold water! Usually at the big fancy metal indoor water fountains. I learned from the comments that itâs called a bubbler in Wisconsin. Iâve never heard of that before! đ
It wasn't until I was in 4th grade that our school got a metal fountain with a compressor. Until then it was a white ceramic one with warm water. I remember being more excited to drink out of the new one, especially after gym class.
Ah yessss. The memories đ! The water fountain totally deserves its own song! Thanks Penn!
We still use water fountains all the time! One park we go to regularly it hasn't worked for several years, so I have to make sure we actually bring water bottles, and it's so annoying.
No, you're right. This was a documentary.đ
Same with Contagion, from Matt Damon. Sci-Fi/Thriller, back in 2011, but a Documentary now?
Hilariousđ
Thanks for the memory!
I went to Catholic school and only on the hottest days (we had no AC in those âold schoolâ schools) the nuns would take us in a line to the water fountain and count while we drank from it.
Nice that they let you get water, I remember asking my second grade teacher to get water and she said, "If I let you go get water, I'll have to let everyone". I was like, so what, they're probably thirsty, too! Lol.
Hearing âJust Penâ made me think - have you done a âJust Kenâ parody yet? đ
đ. Our local-state park purchased large, fancy, new water fountains, that even have an attached dogđŸ drinking-water fountain bowl ... which immediately fills with water when flipping on the human bubbler. đâșïžđ
The stream-of-water is always cool, refreshing, and spurts out at an appropriate height-loop. đ
The toilet seat. đ€Łđ€ŁEverything was spot on for my childhood. Water was only hot when you were first or the water hose just got turned on.
Another thing that I had almost forgotten about. I always avoided them if I could.đ
A relic of my childhood. Love it.
Great as always- and I am really enjoying your book! Most of the family is/married to ADDers. I have always had something like it but with fibromyalgia it is like EVERY body system slightly does what it wants on occasion, and learned to cope long ago by just usually seeing how funny it was when things went flying. Agree, the guilt and embarrassment are killers otherwise, so I appreciate now having a full list for encouraging the others. We have one that blames everyone (but is working on it) and one that has horrible anxiety (all know to give him long healing hugs and is in group therapy), one that blamed till they ended with horrible anxiety instead (but has learned to find me so we can pray on it together) and one now in counselling for the occasional anxiety. It is SO hard for the ones choosing to blame to accept accountability for what they truly do not remember doing/saying- but I am hoping the encouragement will help them past the guilt. And SO happy God didn't let me react to each as I wanted to all those years (well, apparently not often- as I, too, forget those things, so, sadly, I certainly had my moments the kids tell me of)
Proof you can make a song about anything.
As a runner, I am still using the public fountains!
" Would you at least put the toilet seat down?" đđđ
Good morning, Penn, and that was absolutely fantastic!! And what a great homage to Queen and it was spot-on, effects and vocals, etc.; just another great video overall and yes, sadly the public water fountain, definitely a part of so very many of our childhoods, is indeed obsolete đ
This is awesome! lolâŠtook me back to the 70/80s!
We drank out of everything, the outside faucet, the hose, sprinklers, water fountains with wads of gum, Kleenex, and whatever in the drain. Kim, you're just like me. When I take a picture of even my cat, I look around to see if there's an empty cup, cabinet door open, something on the floor before I take it. LOL I don't even like if my bed hasn't been made.
The four Penn ode to the Bohemian Rapacity part of the video literally made me laugh so hard that it brought tears to my eyes. Great job at taking a comedic song to the next level. #adhdisawesome!
We used to go on all day hikes with no water. You were supposed to get liquid from the hard pink tomato and orange. I always got headaches. I wished for a nasty water fountain then!
Penn, loving your animated antics when you make your videos! Your voice and your acting are everything! Soooo Good! You should be on Broadway!!!!!!!
Apart from the risk of waterborne diseases from the communal water fountain, did someone also determine that pre-2000s children were severely dehydrated? Because the water bottles kids lug to school now are MASSIVE!
Loved that line about it being the only source of water for kids, having raised three kids who never drank water at home.
And if you were the first to the fountain, you had to use part of your time waiting for the water to get colder.
Funny story, the other day our friends kids had to go down to the water fountain on near their house to see if it was working, like some kind of first sign of summer, and they were so excited it was on. So, even today's kids still use them.
Scottish Water have updated the public water fountains to Public water bottle refill points in our town/city centers
I didn't drink water at school, I had a juice box at lunch and that was it. Even as a child I recognized how gross it was to all suck water from the same tap. đ
They still use the water fountains in school, they just use them to refill their water bottles. We actually have these fancy new add ons to the water fountains in the district I work in that have bottle filler pourer things (official name đ) where you just place your water bottle under it and the water flows. It says itâs filtered, but who knows. I just know itâs how I refill my water bottle all day long. đ
The water being 150 degrees is too spot on, every. Single. Fountain. Here in the tri city's đ đ
Penn has a point... we're practically the same age, and back then, public water fountains were used frequently. I never used one that had no pressure, but who knows how many times I got strep throat from those things. đ
Itâs a bubbler. -Dana from Wisconsin
YES!!! â€
I still drink from one daily, working in a public school. Imagine all the money I am saving not buying fancy bottles, plus it's got to be building up my immune system.
The harmony faces in the dark is đ€đŒ! Queen is the best!!
Water fountain factory pressure settings: 1)The French kiss of hydration or 2) Public shower with your clothes on. Special tubing inside to make the water taste like someone just mopped the floor with it.
I love the outtakes at the end of a hilarious vlog!! đ
Oh my stars.. donât know where you went to school⊠water fountains where I lived were fresh,clean and no one ever had to put their mouth around them because the pressure was so high you would get splashed or drowned
I love that you found a fountain that actually works... we have newish playgrounds...and fountains that I've never seen work.
THIS was my kindergartener's issue, "She says, 'One, two, three, that's enough for me," and it's NOT, Mommy, it's not!"
Iâll never forget going to the water fountain and someone has spit a giant quid into the drain. It was there for DAYS and would dance when the water would hit it. I would not drink out of it until someone finally cleaned it. đ
Love the Queen editing! Yes, the water fountain is always there for us, especially when we've forgotten or are out of water! In Phoenix, they are implementing plans for new ones that will dispense cool water in some public locations, because Phoenix water found temps really are 120F in the summer!
Honestly, we should go back to this and if there is no fountain nearby we should lick a doorknob once a week to build our immunity.
OMG - I TOTALLY forgot about the teacher counting!!! Ahhh...good times.
I will still use the water fountain if one is available....whatever we drank as kids, made our guts strong!
They're still life-savers in airport departure lounges đ
Bubbler!!! Iâm a Wisconsinite!! We call it a bubbler!
Yes! â€
I was immediately wow'ed by the Queen reference with the four heads on the black background. Very cool effect!
Our park had a water fountain inside a lion's head. It took lots of courage to drink from it.
Water fountains are where I refill my water bottle.
Fun story. I actually saw a public water fountain last weekend when I took my kid to a birthday party at the roller skating ring in Philly that I went to as a kid. It was still there shockingly.
Public Water Fouintains is whey Gen X is as tough as we are! Loved the 4-face look!!
How did you even find a working water fountain to shoot the video? HA!!!
Our teachers only counted to 3!!!! And we weren't allowed to get back in line. I was always so thirsty :(
"I'm just Penn" needs to happen.
*saw "ode to public water fountain" in thumbnail, expected to hear an "ode to joy" parody.*
(did not know using asterisks causes bold text...interesting...)
I remember summer camp in the mountains, where the water we gulped out of those fountains tasted wonderful. Sigh.
Another fine film! I hope water fountains don't get such a bad rap that they get taken out. I still seek them out at airports. I'm not paying that much money for water.
Re Kim saying at the end, "You're just Penn"..... is there an "I'm Just Ken" parody planned? because it would definitely be awesome đ
Love it! Love that you are doing more music videos! Makes me very happy
My middle school had water fountains scattered everywhere. Most were dirty or broken and hot. but there were a few broken ones that were so cold that they was a least 3 kids trying to force there way to the fountain. It just seemed so much worse than the ones every kid at the playground was waiting for cause at least it was little kids with adults watching and controlling. And sure the play ground ones were hot and dirty but at least kids weren't swarming the thing from all sides ready to insult anyone in their way
Water fountains! I have not seen them in decades and I don't miss them at all! But it was a great song!
Definitely not obsolete! How else are we going to fill our water bottles or get a drink if we didn't bring them? Fun Queen moments :)
BRITA!
@@QUICKBOOKS1 there's not exactly Brita filters out in random public places, and even if you have one at home and fill up, you still need a way to get more water when you're out, so my comment stands...
Nothing short of genius around here đ
I'm just Penn, singing odes for all the men.
I cringed at every single one of the pictures. đ€Ł I"m so thankful we've evolved to insulated water bottles!
We'd get 3 mississippis worth of water every time we were thirsty in K-5th grade.
Great harmonies! Enjoyed!
That's called a bubbler around here.
You must live in Wisconsin!
Hahaha the BTS was great!
Here in Wisconsin, we call these âbubblersâ.
You betcha! đ
I remember when my school got a new water fountain in the 90s and it made cold water, but it would run out, so everyone would get mad if one kid drank a lot.
Just when my dad got a new water fountain for the cats. Weird right. I hope you and Kim are having a good day.
đ. Definitely loving, kind, and humane, to accommodate his beloved feline's needs.
That means he takes excellent care of you, too. đ
Clearly, he's a treasure. đ
lol i sometimes wish there were more water fountains to refill my water bottle
I never minded a public drinking fountain...until I saw a dog make out with it.
Ok you won my subscribe! So hilarious! Good job Holderness Family.
We still have a water fountain at my church! Some of the parks have fountains but I donât know if they work anymore!
Are we ever going to see: "I'm Just Pen?" :)
Apparently, stainless steel water bottles might be banned after a kid beat up a teacher with his, so the public water fountain might face a come back.
