And People Wonder, WHY i was an Undergraduate; for the ENTIRE '80's (plus the '90's)
Life was GOOD then.. Well, except for the underlying knowledge that we'd ALL DIE in a Nuclear War
OH! and gas was REAL Expensive in 1985.. Like $1.40!! And my Plymouth 'cuda LOVED Premium!
I liked the bear. Good actor.
That 1985 high school was a little more upscale than my 1984 version, but, yes- that is what it mostly looked like.
I'm glad to see that Bear Spray actually works and that I'm not carrying it for nothing.
Alive in 85! My school had uniforms- plaid pleated skirts w/a blouse. Boys wore suit coats and ties.
Those really were the days.
My fave: the skilled man. Still don’t know if it was a rug or a blind. It was amazing.
Runner up: gen Z. Nailed it lol.
Sr Monica was cool and the man who wore the heels. He’s a better man than me- I don’t much care for heels.
Oh- if I met a bear, I don’t think I’d continue to talk to it as I tried to leave it behind. Nice bear.
Weirdly, #7 works. He pulls the outfits off (visually, not literally). I suppose because he's just wearing clothes and not trying to be something he's not.
Reminds me back 30 years ago when I got my medical records from when I broke my legs and ended up in an Army hospital. Read, "25 yr old well-fed male..." and I'm like, hey, I'm not that fat. Took a beat to realize, they were ruling out malnourishment.
1) Demonstration of skill.
2) Southern talk. It's a wonder.
3) Message for Architects. I hate the cold air as well. Fine at home. Hate it in hotels.
4) Gen Z. Thaht's ahwfunsuhv. Thaht's ahwfunsuhv.
4) Hey Bear. It seemed like the guy kept calling for the bear. Early on he had a gap and should have shut up and moved more quickly. But...at least he had the bear spray. I use it on our neighborhood Cynthia.
The rest of them fall into the 'meh' category for me.
I'm with #3, I agree with him completely. Architecture for Dummies should do the trick. All showers need a door. I like his style.
I liked the message for architects.
I'm humbled by the craftsmanship of #1. I can't imagine keeping that all straight and producing such a beautiful and functional piece of work.
Another demonstration of skill...and luck.

farmgirl? how Big was your hair?
I thought the "if you're not in medicine" one was funny. I was impressed with the weaving skill in the first one, also that he didn't cut his hands to shreds.
Somewhere in the back of the photographer's mind, he was thinking, "the bear might eat me, but at least I'll get it on video".
What would be the benefit of not having a shower door? Do people take quicker showers if they're getting a draft of cold air? The internet tells me that a shower uses just over 2 gallons of water per minute. Showers that are just a few minutes shorter, times hundreds or thousands of guests could mean some serious water saving each day.
I wasn't in high school in the 80s, but that one got me. It was a sort of paradise.
Everybody wants to rule the world.
They have baths with doors. These things are customizable to the desires of customers. The idea behind sliding doors is that the water streaks down the glass and into the drain, where it belongs.
When you open a wet door, your water continue to streak down and get the floor wet, increasing the chances of a slip and fall.
Unless you have a big carpet catch the streaking water. Or you have a wiper in your shower to wipe the water off the glass like you would your windshield at a gas station on a long trip.
The shower door guy made me laugh out loud. Not an easy thing to do.
The high school kids looked happy. Would a video taken in a random school today show the same thing? Do kids actually smile anymore? All I see in public is perpetual snarling or vague boredom at best.
I loved the demonstration of skill and the advice to architects.
Gilbar- G*d gave me the hair, alas- the skill to do anything w/it… not so much. I permed it a few times during high school, put that sun in crap to lighten it. I have straight hair- that has a wave no as I age.
I remember the girls w/big hair- they got the guys. My best memories were of going out to the bars and cutting loose on the dance floor. I feel bad for the kids of today that the innocence of clean(ish) fun is gone. IMhumbleO.
#5 for the win.
Sooooo, High School in the 1980s was comprised entirely of white kids. I distinctly recall that not being the case a decade earlier. Where did all the black kids go?
These were better than usual. No boring paper towel, coffee stain, squashed pizza box guy to bring everybody down.
The bear video certainly had real world suspense. The medicine and shower guys were funny. Gen Z kidnapped was a good idea but underdeveloped, or maybe done with too broad a brush. I wanted to know why the Texas husband, father, engineer, football coach transvestite had to go to Europe to shoot his video though.
Should ‘a demonstration of skill’ be replaced with ‘a demonstration of craftsmanship’?
While they are related, and not everyone can me a craftsman or skillful in every discipline, skill implies an innate ability that cannot be replicated or trained. Perhaps I’m wrong, or not.?
Bamboo mat guy-wow, although I'd like to know how long that took.
Shower door guy- I'm in favor of no doors, because I'm the one who gets to clean those damn things, but he does have valid points.
Skirt guy- all I could think was, who dresses like that anymore?
I'm guessing the man in heels is about 5' nothing in flats.
My wife's from Florida, and she uses the word 'britches,' too.
One day, our grandson (then about four) was talking to his mom (our daughter) about a pair of his pants, and he told her that his Gigi "calls them my bitches."
That caused a puzzled look for a moment or two. Then, "Oh, you mean your britches, Charlie."
Words that sound alike, at least to a four-year-old.
As an old Sewanee boy I hafta go with Sister Monica. I suspect she may be @ St. Mary's convent, which is just a couple of miles southwest of the campus.
Those were all great.
I found myself cheering the guy in heels - men wore heels in past history, and just because one wants to wear heels it doesn’t mean one wants to be a woman. Plus, there’s the admiration factor…I simply can’t wear them anymore but admire those who can. He looks good. Somehow it works on him.
I laughed at the shower door thing. We elected to not have a door on our (large) shower in our place. We could have one installed easily. Went through a WI winter without the door and was fine. Love it. I feel like I’m on vacation in a fancy hotel whenever I shower.
