Ironic, because at the time this film was made (early 1960′s), coffee consumption in the U.S. peaked, then began a three-decade decline, which wasn’t arrested until the rise of Starbucks and the coffeehouse culture in the 1990′s…which re-established coffee drinking in the younger population (even back then they were concerned, illustrated by the episode of MAD MEN where a coffee company worried that baby boomers raised on soda wouldn’t take up coffee drinking).
This is the funniest of the romeorhino vids, w/the fragrance one coming in a close second. I come back to this one every couple of months. Tonight it is particularly funny, but perhaps that’s because of the spiked egg nog I’m drinking.
Horaayy..there are 25 comment(s) for me so far ;)
Riffs around the clock!
“It helps us choke down these greasy 50′s style fried eggs”
“It helps Sue Grafton start work on C IS FOR COFFEE”
“It provides the president of Cornell with an ashtray”
“Coffee breath ruins the mood”
“A dozen cigarettes with your coffee?”
“Start your day the Henry Mancini way”

Great opening riff–
“How did he know that was going to happen?”
“It was an inspired guess…”
oohhhh!!! i,m laughing so hard i hope coffee dont come up my nose!

I must be drinking too much coffee. Every now and then the narrator starts to sound like William Shatner.
I can’t stand coffee or caffeine, yet I’m watching this.
“Water…wind and fire!” xD

Well shit, I’m drinking coffee right now.
awesome commentary
Does this have any relevance anymore? I mean, does anyone make their own coffee like this?
hrm, so it’s time that’s needed. Now I now know why I find watches in my drink. ;D
Jesus, did people back then have no idea how to function unless specifically instructed by a forceful disembodied voice?
I must say, your sense of comedic timing is impeccable.
Is this narrated by Dick Clark? It sounds like his voice.
Oh my, that was even funnier than MST3K…you have mad skills.
Turn on the CC transcriber and this is about 50 times more funny.
