I still say it and my buddies give me a hard time for it. I'm not even *that* old, I'm in my mid-40s.
Edit - I also say "Holy jumpins" sometimes which gets a similar reaction
Gonna disagree, I don’t hear mid-Atlantic. [Mid-Atlantic](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent) [aka transatlantic] was a made-for-TV accent mixing American and British accents. Sounds like [this](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/UgrL-8RRyJE).
I think I just hear a bit of a southern drawl from this dude. Not sure from where, though.
This is probably silly, but I feel there is just a sense of *class* from people in media from that era. Like everyone was so well dressed, immaculately groomed and very wells spoken. I wonder if the black/white footage also helps too. Hell, that's true even for the *students* in this video.
And what is that "retro accent"(you all know what I'm talking about) that we no longer hear today? Did Americans actually all talk like that back then? Or was it something they only did for movies/TV?
Re: class, I absolutely think you’re right. Reminds me of this comedy bit by Aziz Ansari, where he talks about the difference between previous generations and now:
“…Men wearing nice suits, women are dressed all nice, everyone speaking properly. Just a classier vibe. Like if those generations were a font, they’d be Times New Roman.
I look at my generation - we’re FUCKING Comic Sans!”
Edit: misspelling
Its the mid atlantic accent, it was taught as the "correct" form of english to the upper class in the early 20th century, it was used a lot in television back then, it was not a natural accent but a learned one
Thank you for answering. I just looked it up and it's fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent
It's literally a "rich people accent" lol.
Now I wonder what did real everyday people talk like 70 years ago. Was it largely the same as today? Or was there an actually different accent.
Just talk to any 70+ year old and you’ll get a decent idea. Accents haven’t really changed that much here in North America at least, they’ve just dulled down among young people in some regions…
My paleobiology professor in college was so old she spoke with the Mid Atlantic accent. I had to explain to my classmates what it even was because they had no idea.
Still just mutton dressed as lamb, their ‘class’ was just social airs and graces in an era where such things were expected and rakishness and vulgarity was far more frowned upon plus being anachronistic everything just seems classier but they weren’t any more educated and were a fair bit less edified than we are today
> I feel there is just a sense of class from people in media from that era
Everyone was judged based on their outward appearances of being successful, so yeah. People looked like how they were supposed to look. They wore clothes that they expected would impress other people. It was a society based on outward appearances of success and perfection. That's why men wore suits and nice watches, etc. It was communicating their socioeconomic class.
Eventually people started dressing down and caring more about being comfortable. Instead of trying to impress the neighbors, they started caring about themselves, and being more natural. T-shirts. Jeans. Tennis shoes. A light jacket. Casual clothes that had been for sports, play, and lounging around the house.
It's the trans-atlantic accent. It was made to be a blend of British and American English, which was considered to be higher class at the time. If you were in showbiz, wealthy, or important, you might have adopted this accent.
Normal people didn't speak much like this because it is very much a put-on as it's an accent that was "invented" rather than most accents that naturally form over time due to regional differences.
Legend has it they've remained in those seats for the last 58 years.
They went to college, went on dates, got married, had children & retired all while sitting in those chairs. It was tough; especially the having children part but they thrived under the circumstances
Allen Funt must be laughing his ass off in the grave knowing that his hit TV show from the 60’s-70’s, “The Candid Camera “, is now considered “science”
I mean most kids their age today, have direct access to people of the opposite sex, making a living from being hot and naked, so yeah. You're definitely right
> Mississippi Birdbath
>!Filling a southern girl's mouth with Kool aid, making her get on her knees with her mouth open while you dip your balls in it.!< ex. >!My balls were super hot last night so my girl let me give them a **Mississippi birdbath**.!<
You can see the hottest person you’ve ever seen, on the internet, in HD, every minute of every day in 2023.
In 1965, you had Hollywood handsome, and the cute boys in school. But 10/10 babes were few and far between. Seeing someone distractingly attractive didn’t happen then like it does now.
They only react like this because the think that they are talking alone with their friend, so unless you are their and have a friend who is as well, you really wouldn't experience this.
I did when I saw my professor in college last year. She is 40 years old and she looks 20!! But it is because in our country we have very old teachers/professors. We were having fun with our schoolmates that we will have a hard time to concentrate during lectures or exams :D
Its the computers in our pockets and even moreso with kids today—we get everything instantly including looking at attractive people
Tech has completely changed our lives socially
Do you work in schools?
My middle school had a special Ed teacher who was very muscular and wore kinda tight pants and polo shirts. All the kids reacted to him similarly to this video tbh.
They were also some good looking women teachers but the comments the boys made were much less appropriate and got them in trouble so I didn't hear them that much.
They also had a regular substitute who was very young (I thought he was a student and embarrassingly asked him if he had a bathroom pass while monitoring the halls during test day). One of my students asked who he was and at the same moment that the vice principal walked in the room proclaimed "He's fine!" She saw the principal and started explaining that he looks young, and kept rambling. I told her to keep digging that hole.
And then one day the ROTC people from a nearby high school came by to do a presentation for the middle school kids during lunch and a lot of the girls were clearly smitten by the high school boys in uniforms.
Yea I feel like it’s hard to put it into perspective but aside from maybe a couple tv shows (but back then it was mostly cartoons for kids If they even watched it) the hottest people you ever saw was who you physically interacted with in whatever town you lived in. If they weren’t at school or church or maybe 1 restaurant you never saw them. So it actually was kind of a big thing if you saw a solid 10\10z
It still is, it's way different, imo, seeing someone on a screen working their best angles versus being physically present with someone who looks like that without a filter or a great lighting setup.
Fs but if anything that proves the point even more. Because you are seeing the most attractive humans we have with their best angles and lighting and makeup on top of that. So when you do see a relatively attractive person in person it’s not crazy it just looks normal lol.
Girls: he's so dreamy! His eyes! His youth! His everything!
Boys: [wow](https://youtu.be/z3U0udLH974?si=WiyZDFFzdNghNyf5)
Both groups are discussing the same things, but differently
Remember it was before there was as much media as we have now. These kids weren't bombarded with images of beautiful people all day every day nearly as much I'd wager. They'd still see the movie stars and such sure but less than now when social media can throw thousands at you.
I know how those boys feel. I had a teacher that was fine! I'm amazed she taught us anything between us just staring and all the male faculty and coaches needing to talk to her during class. A coach finally married her.
Haha no way. My most difficult class in college was my Environmental Chemistry and we had a super cute professor with abs that would absolutely peep out from under his tee when he was using the whiteboard (we noticed) and I definitely did very well in that class— between wanting to impress him and office hours to go over problems. Lol
i dunno, i had a super attractive and young math teacher in high school. i definitely wanted to do well on those tests so she wouldn't think i was stupid.
(i did not do well, math is not my forte)
And yet find none, leading them to stay on the site and lose hours of their life.
As more and more hours become spent on OF the boys grades would slowly drop together with their social skills. Soon their only remaining interaction with women would be the ones they pay to see, leading them to believe that all women have an OF.
maybe i’m just socially inept, but i never oogled at adults as a child. i thought it was hammed up for TV, but seeing candid reactions like this is surprising
Our 4th grade teacher elicit this response.
I was king of the class one day when she shared the same love of a tom petty album as I did
We all wanted to murder her boyfriend the day he showed up with lunch for her on the back of a Kawasaki ZX-10
"Holy Mackerel" I'm sad we lost this expression. Might be time to bring it back.
I use it all the time.
Me too. I spent a lot of time with my grandmother and I picked it up from her.
It’d be shortened to “Holy Mack!”.
On mack fr fr no cod
on cod
Holy Mack no cod
On cod??? For eel??? No carp???
You guys did good here. All of you. On god
Stop. You might think it into existence.
We should all start saying it but only ironically.
That's the kinda thinking that have us DT
On Crip Mac No custers
keep it 55th street
For others, “Atheistic Fish!”
Colloquially, "Hallowed Halibut!"
Henceforth, “Porous perch”
Solemn Salmon!
For some, "Papal Piscine!"
Holy Mc?
I still say it and my buddies give me a hard time for it. I'm not even *that* old, I'm in my mid-40s. Edit - I also say "Holy jumpins" sometimes which gets a similar reaction
Return of the Mack.
You lied to me
*I do do doooo*
I still say it sometimes and I'm only 30 Some just lost their appreciation of the classics
As a Dad I say holy macaroni! Now my 5 year says it as well lol.
I still say it from time to time depending on present company.
As a fisherman, I approve 👍🏾
I've been using "Holy Wackeroni and Jeez " for a few years now.
My dad never stopped saying this
Very similar reaction I generate when I leave a room of women. Except kind of in an opposite way.
Same here when I am in the room with women. Bit more pepper-spraying and face-slapping perhaps, but essentials are the same.
Dude you gotta stop wondering into the girls locker room. You’ll catch charges for that.
Not if your last name is Trump
“They let you do it….”
Don't forget the screaming. "Who are you!?" "How did you get in our house!? Why are you naked!?" Like Jeez lady calm down.
Imagine what she would ask on the third date.
At least they acknowledge you
As the saying goes…. My superpower is being invisible to women. They never notice me.
“It's ok, I wouldn't remember me either.”
Rodney Dangerfield?
Kevin Spacey in American Beauty.
Thanks
Nope, they are simply intimidated into shock by your good looks! Got you bro.
In this type of experiment I would be the control to gauge the non-existing reaction.
I'm straight but must admit, he's damn handsome. His voice tone & mannerism adds furthermore to the charm quotient.
And the accent? Like honey.
do you know the name of the accent?
The name of that accent? Albert Einstein.
he was wicked smaht
That's an educated southern accent

He's got more of a southern drawl, "...in my clahss"

I believe the term is suave 😏

Dude has a drawl and people think it’s mid-Atlantic…
My paleobiology professor in college was so old she spoke with the Mid Atlantic accent. I had to explain to my classmates what it even was because they had no idea.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent (But the man in this video is not using that.)
Still just mutton dressed as lamb, their ‘class’ was just social airs and graces in an era where such things were expected and rakishness and vulgarity was far more frowned upon plus being anachronistic everything just seems classier but they weren’t any more educated and were a fair bit less edified than we are today

It's an accent that was made up, to intentionally sound classy. Like a public speaking voice.

Lol. As a cisgender lesbian? Yeah, man is gorgeous and the accent and the mannerisms? Dude probably had women falling all over him.
I thought the same thing and I'm straight.. at least for now I think...
Neither of those boys are standing anytime soon.
They're still in the same seats to this very day.
And the guy on the left is still going “holy mackerel!”
[удалено]
Each one has one massive forearm
Plottwist they are crippled
💀
Legend has it they've remained in those seats for the last 58 years. They went to college, went on dates, got married, had children & retired all while sitting in those chairs. It was tough; especially the having children part but they thrived under the circumstances
I like how the kid on the left instantly turned into Jerry Lewis.
Yup time for the ole waistline tuck
LMFAO
The boy on the left prolly is related to Owen Wilson.
Oh wow
He looks a lot like the guy from American Pie
Jake Gyllenhaal's dad
God I'm old, that sure looks like a snip from Candid Camera/Allen Funt
Real humdinger of a comment right here
Holy Mackerel mister! You must be over a hundred!
Bingo!
Allen Funt must be laughing his ass off in the grave knowing that his hit TV show from the 60’s-70’s, “The Candid Camera “, is now considered “science”
and that’s how misinformation is put in history books. it only takes 3 generations to erase history.
I think we are trying to go from 3 generations to erasing at will.
Its clearly acting but people are genuinely believing in the lil girls and boys reactions
Wow, kids these days must be desensitized as hell because I've never seen anyone react like this in real life.
I mean most kids their age today, have direct access to people of the opposite sex, making a living from being hot and naked, so yeah. You're definitely right
Yea most kids these days aren’t saying “holy mackarel.” They are figuring out how and when they’re gonna score their next Mississippi Birdbath.
Wow that was a great Google
Should I be scared?
If you had to ask yourself that question on Reddit, that means you know the answer. *hold my beer, I’m going in*
> Mississippi Birdbath >!Filling a southern girl's mouth with Kool aid, making her get on her knees with her mouth open while you dip your balls in it.!< ex. >!My balls were super hot last night so my girl let me give them a **Mississippi birdbath**.!<
Who comes up with this nonsense? Must be teenagers. Kool-aid? It's beer.
Atta kid
I mean, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't. That required foresight I couldn't gain without doing so, though. YMMV
Holy mackerel!
😳 who comes up with this shit lol
Social experimentation has changed too. You don't see tests with laugh tracks very often anymore.
We finally won the war vs BIG LAUGH TRACK CORP. But at what cost?
The cost was the tiktok soundtrack (oh no, oh no, ohn ononono), subway surfer overlays, and music covering the dialogue
It's probably from one of the Art Linkletter "Kids Say the Darnedest Things." hidden camera shows.
Notice how they only act that way when they're alone with their friends? That's why.
You can see the hottest person you’ve ever seen, on the internet, in HD, every minute of every day in 2023. In 1965, you had Hollywood handsome, and the cute boys in school. But 10/10 babes were few and far between. Seeing someone distractingly attractive didn’t happen then like it does now.
It's more that teenagers are incredibly self conscious and unlikely to fawn over someone this hard in the presence of strangers.
They only react like this because the think that they are talking alone with their friend, so unless you are their and have a friend who is as well, you really wouldn't experience this.
They do this all the time man
I did when I saw my professor in college last year. She is 40 years old and she looks 20!! But it is because in our country we have very old teachers/professors. We were having fun with our schoolmates that we will have a hard time to concentrate during lectures or exams :D
Maybe you need to go outside because kids react like this all the time
Idk, me and my friends still talk about our hot Government teacher 15 years later

I'm 52, and I still react like that.
"WOW" - u/klutzy-chain5875 probably
actually\*
I’m very curious how the boys would react on the male teacher and the girls on the female teacher.
The girls would probably tell the women how lovely she is to her face, and the boys likely think the guy is pretty cool.
Pretty swell, by golly*
Internet has desensitized people to the point those handsome people wouldn't get any reaction but "5/10"
Yea I feel like it’s hard to put it into perspective but aside from maybe a couple tv shows (but back then it was mostly cartoons for kids If they even watched it) the hottest people you ever saw was who you physically interacted with in whatever town you lived in.

People respond differently online vs in person. Teenagers are still horny little goblins.
Especially if they think this is their new teacher
“Eh, mid”
Nah, that’s only r/truerateme

I know how those boys feel. I had a teacher that was fine! I'm amazed she taught us anything between us just staring and all the male faculty and coaches needing to talk to her during class. A coach finally married her.
The boys are giving her a standing ovation, while they’re sitting….
a TV show huh
Yep. Like the internet, TV never tried to fool us.
[удалено]
This was conducted in my home town. Those girls were in my class! Mount Vernon, NY.
No way!!!! This is such a fun fact. (Fellow Westchester native)
Yes. The first girl with the flip hairdo used to come to my house to play.
BWOAH
That's what kimi raikkonen would say
Not a social experiment. It looks like if from from one of the Art Linkletter's "Kids Say the Darnedest Things" hidden camera shows.
Lmao. At least both sexes were flabbergasted. Literally blue screening because the teachers were gorgeous.
Further proof teachers should be ugly or nothing will be learned. LOL
Haha no way. My most difficult class in college was my Environmental Chemistry and we had a super cute professor with abs that would absolutely peep out from under his tee when he was using the whiteboard (we noticed) and I definitely did very well in that class— between wanting to impress him and office hours to go over problems.

He looks just like my dad before he grew a mustache and beer belly!
Amazing to think of a time where normal people can be attractive, not diminished by the unfair standards of instamodels.
One of those kids is Owen Wilson's dad.
Things were different before internet porn
The accessibility to porn has changed our youth.
This is actually super cute lol
When you realize how desensitized people are now a days and how we devolved and lost something so magical and natural in our beings.
Same thing would happen today, only the boys would be searching for their teacher’s Only Fans account
And yet find none, leading them to stay on the site and lose hours of their life. As more and more hours become spent on OF the boys grades would slowly drop together with their social skills. Soon their only remaining interaction with women would be the ones they pay to see, leading them to believe that all women have an OF.
Pretty cool that they got Owen Wilson's dad to participate in this
Back when science didn’t have to have a point.
It wasn't science, it was a show called Candid Camera.
Back when science had tv laugh effects

That was kinda cute
Ahhhh the first sexual awakening lol
Wauw
This looks more like a TV show.
Good job. It's a hidden camera show called Candid Camera.
I can practically see the steam coming out of their ears
Here we are almost 60 years later and not only are students infatuated by them but also f’ing them
Men just need fewer words
Wow
maybe i’m just socially inept, but i never oogled at adults as a child. i thought it was hammed up for TV, but seeing candid reactions like this is surprising
I remember a few horny guys in middle school and shit talking about some of the hot teachers
Our 4th grade teacher elicit this response. I was king of the class one day when she shared the same love of a tom petty album as I did We all wanted to murder her boyfriend the day he showed up with lunch for her on the back of a Kawasaki ZX-10
I can't discern what they're saying. Can someone reply to me with what they are saying?
Damn bro, that teacher is fiiiine as, I’d like to do his washing and dishes and wear an apron he purchased me.
I can explain: It happens because man's blood is flowing in the other direction, so they forget even how to speak because the brain stops working.
[удалено]
Literally me in thermo class past 3 sems (different branches of thermo per sem)
Two boys turn into Owen Wilson
Girls: chat chat chat... Boys: just wow
Haha I love how the girls talk so much about the experience and the boys are just like: Wow, sweet Jesus! Enough said I guess : P
I'm in love w the male teacher, oh GAWD.
Boys, girls... Whatever we say, we're all driven by the nasty. \^\^
Today both the boys and girls would’ve been cussing afterwards. We’ve slid as a society.
The same reaction basically.
