"The Educational Archives" is an entertainment goldmine filled with old classroom training films.  This particular assortment contains an Italian man who canna have no bambino until he gets his syphilis fixed, a girl whose LSD trip results in a talking hot dog, and sanitary napkins so large that only three of them fit inside of a shoebox.

Oh educational videos and PSA all a like, where would we be with you?   Your unintential sillness provides us all with plenty of laughs and sometimes insightful advice.

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

You can watch the LSD Hotdog short on Youtube.  The hotdog turns into a troll doll, named, presumably Frank N. Furter.  My favorite line was "I've murdered it !"'        You might want to rephrase  "people with mental disabilities through education".

Lord, I love that talking-hot-dog film.  I've dropped acid a couple of times and it must not have been very good acid because I do remember feeling it "come on" with time.  I don't remember any exciting, unpredictable, "hurf durf nothing's happening ho hum AAAAH KILL IT KILL IT" moments.

The "Know for Sure" syphilis short has to be the best-acted educational movie of the lot.  Ward Bond and Tim Holt both wander through it although they make less of an impression than the vaudeville Italian stereotype who precedes them.

That looks like Kevin Tighe in the second picture. So, he got kicked from the curling team and ended up as a paramedic in L.A. Good trade.

And Sonny certainly does look like he's on something.

Isn't that Kevin Tighe in the second photo on the top screengrab?  You know, the guy from 'Road House."

Uncredited, but a few online sources say that Lewis Milestone, "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930), directed "Know for Sure."

Good grief, but it is!  I didn't recognize him that young.

I've seen the woman with Kevin Tighe somewhere else as well.

Do you think he used his connections as a paramedic to score for his buddies?

:buggedout:
When shooting wrapped, they beat up some homeless people, made some kitten pies and fed them to orphans...

Oh yeah, we actually got to see the Sonny Bono marijuana PSA when I was a sophmore in high school. I guess things hadn't changed much between the mid 1960's and 1984...

Isn't there a part in that one where some guy smokes pot and looks in the mirror and he's turned into some kind of monster?

I gotta find this on youtube.

My favorite in high school was the one about drinking. They had some woman who was an alcoholic who had booze stashed virtually everywhere. The spot that got me the most was her bottle of wine in the toilet tank!

Ahh those were the good ole days!

Good gravy, that girl looks HAPPY that her hotdog's talking to her! :teddyr:

As to the last picture: no children, those girls are NOT high; girls actually DID iron their hair when curls were "not with it".

Nice "Bloom County" reference in your "Things I Learned" section. I also found the woman coming in on her boy masturbating as hysterical. Especially as she continues to stand there while her son lays there mortified that he's been caught. One educational reel I wish they had was one I saw when I was in high school. It started out with a series of scenes of people doing freaky things wile on LSD. There is a scene of a guy running into a busy traffic tunnel because, on drugs, he thought he was more powerful than Superman. Another guy runs into a lion's cage at a zoo to wrestle the feline.

That's the one.  He has two hallucinations, one of which inspired this:

Yes, but you have to admit it's a screen capture that makes you laugh.

I loved the old "Bloom County" comics.  As a teenager my walls were plastered with dozens, if not hundreds, of them that I had cut out of the papers (that I delivered, the last of the non-adult paperboys for that route).

The woman walking in on her son, and then delivering that completely inappropriate monologue even made me uncomfortable.

This film truly deserves the B-movie title. I've watched it, and it is horrendous. It was the most boring 3 minutes and 40 seconds of my life, and the payoff was just stupid. The most shocking thing about that film is that it was actually shown somewhere.

Eww, that's a great way to get a mouth full of cigarette ash! Especially a can on the coffee table, people ash in those all the time.  :smile:
