What The Hell Was Wrong With 1944?

ok… if potato salad is the key to flexibility, I know what my g/f is getting for christmas.

These 3 girls + potato salad = best sexual fantasy ever.

And that exit was easily the most WTF girl-on-girl-on-girl diving ever!

It was 1944 TV. They put everything on it becasue if they didn’t, there wouldn’t have been anything on. Oh, and why is it in color if it was 1944. I thought color TV was well after 1944.

Some limber gals there…

Holy Potatoes! What a performance! That’s just amazing, you won’t see the n00bs in the music and movie industry nowadays do that. Britney move over.
Note how few shots it actually are, today they’d have 350 cuts in a scene like this.

Because it’s not tv. It’s from a film, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadway_Rhythm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ross_Sisters .

Holy six-legged wheel of sisterly face-crotch!

This is obviously colorized.

I heard that during and after WWII, potato salad became the most popular food in the world. I knew it was all a ploy…

I think you mean, what the hell was *right* with 1944.

Was this a commercial for a deboning device of some sort?

it’s the first ever cirque de soleil!!!!!

OMG!!! The possibilities are endless!!!

Looks like this is where they go the idea for the show America’s got Talent.

The younger set doesn’t know this but there was major food rationing during WWII. Sugar, flour, bread, all rationed unless you made it yourself and that took rationed flour. Lots of stuff wasn’t around at all unless you were in uniform or an a farm you wern’t going to get eggs, or meat products at all regularly. Things like chocolate and soda didn’t exist outside a military base. Any vegetable you could grow yourself was a big thing back then. Hence the joys of potato salad. One potato could yeald 4 or more plants and lots more potatos to eat. Balanced diet? No way, but it filled the stomach.

Those ladies are clearly possessed by very limber demons from Hell. It happened a lot in the forties.

Uhhh… Both Gone With the Wind (1939) and The Wizzard of Oz (1939) were filmed in color. While color TV was not popular until “well after 1944″ the technology was available. In addition, the television may not have been this performance’s primary viewing medium. The cinema in those days commonly played short performances (such as this) or comedic sketches (such as The Three Stooges) before/after movies or during an intermission, for example. As for being “obviously colorized,” that is quite a statement given the poor pixel quality, age of original film when uploaded, and less than perfect color camera’s of the time. I would venture to say that it was originally shot in color, if for no other reason than your assumption comes out of pure ignorance.

Btw, I realized that i misspelled “Wizzard” and had a typo in “Dumn.” I have not slept in 22 hours and am not paying attention to my spelling. I say this because people tend to rag on the person because they misspelled something rather than actually attempt to counter their argument, so I’m putting it out there so that that is not the case.

Yes, I realize the irony of misspelling “dumb” in that context.

They just beat the crap out of both cirque du soleil and all the break dancers in the whole world with merely 1 video. I mean, that’s one heck of a potato salad, if only it could be used to good…

I’m sorry, but I thought human beings had spines!?!

It’s like that ‘spider walk’ deleted scene from the Exorcist

There can only be one answer: they have no spine.

When that girl was doing the handwalk thing, I swear she looked like a monster out of some role playing game and I was hoping someone would cast a fireball at it or something.

But contortions aside, can you imagine pitching to your boss/sponsers the idea about a song about Patato Salad?

Hey, at least you didn’t misspell “retarded”.

Worked on me,….I gotta hanker’n fer a batch of tader salad.

There is no reason to get all bent out of shape over potato salad.

I think the uestion we all need to be asking ourselves is,”Do they have granddaughters?”

You should see the egg salad performance. I mean jiminy it sure got my knickers in a twist!

Another shining example of everything that was wrong with my parents’ generation.

Good work USA. When USSR people fighting with Nazis, dying and starving every day, American people having sex with potato salad.

So to answer the question, “What the Hell was Wrong with 1944?”
Abso-fucking-lutely nothing was wrong with 1944. By cracky.

Holy crap that shit is hot.

When I saw the title, and watched the beginning, I was going to make a comment about how much I really like deviled eggs better than potato salad, but after watching it, I’m speechless. Gulp. This is certainly WTF.

OK, who wants the time machine after I’m done using it?

What the hell WASN’T wrong with 1944?

I wish I could put my head that close to… wait, DON’T WRITE THAT!

Yeah ! The title IS harsh ! Have you ever tried to find lyrics for an arrangement or a song ? Dude that’s hard, especially when you don’t give a fuck about the lyrics and put the emphasis on the ”sexy” contortion numbers. Potato salad is a great subject when you come to think of it… or is it because I’m drunk… mmmh…

THANK YOU, HELPY-HELPERTON!

Holy crap!

They really like potato salad.

As I was watching this, I thought to myself “Why is this on here? It’s not exactly sexuallohmygod, bendy!”

Sounds like they’re saying solid, not salad… “Fill it up in a plate and bring it right back…” If Chris Brown sang those lyrics, people would hate him for his music, not because he beat up on that cow…

Truly amazying….i’m almost speechless
Hope everyone watchs all the way to the end…

Heck, I bet the younger set doesn’t even understand the concept of your name….you know, a booth where they sell cell phones.

Pitch the song while you’re doing that, and I don’t think any producers would notice the lyrics any more than we did. SOLD!

Bwaaaaaaahahahahahaha, WTF was that? This is one of those rare things u look at and ur left laughing at what the fuck you dont know about.

The title matched the video perfectly.

*Shakes head* Must be something in the potatoes. Damn Americans and their Agent Orange.

Think of this as 1944 Hip Hop. Yes, it’s that stupid, and so is everything we think is cool now.

The Exorcist: The Musical.

Cool…she can rest her ass in her head! Must be usefull…

i think this is part of the reason japan ended the war think about it does japan really want crazy people that that on there soil

….this confuses me…not the sexual appeal or that it obviously meets the prereqs for “wtf”ness but…..what was its use? and AD? part of a variety show?

I’m not sure whether I should be repulsed or turned on…

This video WINS!

It seems like it is the sole remaining clip of the Ross Sisters performing. This was for the 1944 musical “Broadway Rhythm” – this was a movie. This was very much a color picture, so it wasn’t “colorized” or the like. For what I read the story, itself, was pretty lame, and it didn’t have a spectacular cast for that time, either.

wow…69 cubed…

I’ve heard the potato salad was a euphemism for anal sex, in the 40′s.

If my potato salad was solid I sure wouldnt want it.

“The younger set doesn’t know this…”

Woooooow. Thank you for sharing your ageism with us! I think what you mean to say is “the blisteringly ill-informed set”. Although I’m under 30, I am quite well aware of the rationing that went on during WWII, and have been since grade school. Thanks for playing though, your comment had interesting points that got completely buried by your ignorant assumption that young people are ignorant.

That was extremely impressive! If I could move like that I’d be married by now….

I think they made this so sexual just to make up for not being able to show belly buttons.

Rule 34 on Solid Potato Salad!

My, my such a sensitive little youngster. I’m sure no harm was intended.

You know, this clip was Eraserhead-grade disturbing if you think about it the right way. I may have nightmares.

At a point, this becomes HIGHLY uneccesary and strays away from the advertised product to the furthest possible way. This was a poor marketing strategy.

I have no follow up joke.

Fine. You want one Joe? All right then.

There like some sort of spider enemy froma video game! Holy crap, they are flexible! I mean wow! Did you see that thing with the freaking apple! C’mon!

I’m buying what they are selling. ‘Nuff said.

That is the fourth most twisted thing I have ever seen in my life.

Even weirder, I’m pretty sure I recognize I recognize that backing instrumental track from the Godfather. So this is where Coppola got it from?

he could have been talking about teenagers. Lord knows that most of them are too busy texting (or too busy doing other things) to even pay attention.

Yeah, there was a lot wrong with 1944. But a lot more was right, too:
lifted the siege of Leningrad
Leyte Gulf
Overlord.

Lolz “Hit ur momma with it” XD

why doesnt my patato salad do that??

But it’s kinda freaky in a different way. I might have sweet dreams. Or wet ones.

Huh? You wanna hit your mama? Where you from, boy? West Virginia?

These girls don’t just 69. They 836 too.

What the fuck did I just witness there? I swear that was supposed to be a song and dance about potato salad, but it turned into an all-smiles flexing contest, before finishing with the incestuous, lesbian human cathrine wheel… Who choreographed this madness?!?!

im a teenager. i know what it is. some of us do read you know. dont stereotype me.

Ya know, back in 1944, this was considered porn!

OH NO! They published the video of my great-aunts O.o

i bet this was considered porn in 1944

They were touching their heads to their bums… I mean the possibilities are endless…
