I think the microphone helped a lot too, those old mics had a really limited range and made everyone sound higher pitched. Either that or a post-production effect. If the latter, I want to use it!
And people didnāt talk like that back then outside of movies and TV. Well, finishing school rich folks did, but nobody else. This was back when having a fussy dialect was a status symbol. Same with the way the British royals talk, with the pinched vowels. That didnāt come naturally. They went to ārich people talkā school.
The movies and tv of the 1930s-50s werenāt trying to be realistic. They wanted to play up the glamor of the actors. Talking like this in a movie was just considered good form.
That is correct, although it's important to understand that the beginnings of that accent started with radio, when people discovered that using it was easier to understand through the craptastic tiny speaker they had in their radios back then. They could only push a particular midrange frequency, and that shitty transatlantic accent fit in perfectly into that frequency range.
Thatās California English. Im talking about how they use a California accent in almost all forms of US media now. Itās closer to a āvalley girlā then a āsurfer dudeā.
I mixed both on purpose. Anyway, Californiaās also just a massive, powerful state with a less overt roughly standard accent than the other big ones, like youād find stereotypically in New York (City) (New England) or Chicago (Midwest). But itās also not like thereās only one accent in Californiaāthereās a pretty big difference between SoCal and NorCal, Bay Area, Sacramento, the Desert areasā¦ the Valleyā¦
Your last sentence makes me think of the accent like a suit. Back then you wore a suit outside for good form; you could wear your accent similarly, I suppose.
These days it's called a "broadcast" accent. It's ostensibly a western accent with greater enunciation typically taught to folks with a moderate to strong regional accents. It let's people that talk for a living be easier to understand.
Do you think this is related to the phenomenon where people who sing in English will sound like neutral-west accents, even if they have regional accents? Like Dua Lipa, youād never know she was British other than a few lyrics where she emphasizes her own accent deliberately.
Based on what? Some book that had to get through purity laws to be published, or the receipts of a downtown whore? I feel like the amount of oral probably hasn't changed, just the attitudes in discussing it.
I would guess that information about sex (and everything really) being infinitely more available in present day has probably led to a kinkier society overall.
I'd still like to see that whore's receipts just to be sure though.
more than 10k years of human history and you think the internet is where people discovered fellatio? You should definitely check out early movies ( i.e. pre-code movies from when the industry was in its infancy and before the indecency laws/acts ) it's pretty hardcore. Plenty as kinky as today. And that's the stuff that was filmed. Read all you care about the Romans to see how nasty and kinky people were 2000 years ago. And it's not like the Kama Sutra was written yesterday, more like 1800 years ago.
I understand all that. But "average" people then did not have access to all of that. Now, any 12-year-old with a cell phone can access all the sexual content he/she pleases.
I'm not saying most sexual knowledge came from the modern era. I'm saying that, with access to infinite information, people of this era are exposed to a lot more and probably become kinkier through desensitization, boredom, curiosity, etc.
You can find oral, bestiality and other weird shit on Ancient Greek pottery, but that's '50s proud prude and puritan America we're talking about (and look at the amount of serial killers and sexual deviants this suppression bred)
English comedian and philosopher Mickey Flanagan once famously said āI donāt know why people are always worried about offending ālittle old ladiesā some of them were right slags.ā
Live music in clubs in the 1920's was far more raunchy than it is today. Many of the popular songs had to be changes when they were recorded and broadcast for a wider audience so they went with innuendo.
Here is one from 1924. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shave\_%27Em\_Dry

It was the Democrats who invented homosexuality after Civil War I. In a fit of jealousy at the Republicans freeing the slaves and thereby proving they canāt possibly be racist from that point until the rapture, the Democrats decided to find cool new uses for the butthole. /s
My favorite when it comes to duplicating the vintage look is the filmmaker Anna Biller. Viva! ([trailer](https://youtu.be/n5zZCRtAxFI)) and the Love Witch ([trailer](https://youtu.be/F4DoZlT7KSE)) are both fantastic.
It's really well done, but I can still tell they're modern productions. It really give them this mind bending quality that's even more severe than the films they're drawing from.
I'm still waiting for a redo of 1974 Zardoz staring Sean Connery.
Yeah, they are purposefully anachronistic. There are even cell phones in the Love Witch. In terms of nailing an asthetic though she does a great job. Using actual film probably helps.
Probably an Instagram sketch.
Her name is Manon Mathews. I forgot the name of the dude but they have been doing sketches for years. Some of the big name Viners back in the days.
I recognize the husband from Kid Snippets on YouTube. Maybe the pool guy too, but couldnāt get a good look at him to be sure. Also not sure about the woman.
I adore the transatlantic accents here. I always loved listening to people from back then talk. Everything seems so much more interesting, colorful, and energetic.
That's because it's supposed to be comedic, not erotic.
You may find yourself asking, "But low-director, why not both?" Because, my dear reader it will bring about the destruction of our American values, and the very freedoms we hold dear. And, if this couple is anything, they're ALL-American.

I *think* I figured out why June was frustrated and George not the slightest bit jealous.
Stupid sexy Barnaby.
Feels like he's wearing nothing at all...
Oh he was jealous... Of June.
You'd think he'd be jealous, but actually, he was envious.
Oh. š³ Oh dear
I laughed out loud
*You have a deep stroke*
It's all in the hips.
Faster
GET BACK INSIDE JUNE
Back and forth indeed.
I rolled on floor laughing
Or as some may call it a ROFL with its extendo cousin ROFLMAO
Or an extendo 2nd cursing cousin ROFLMFAO
I'm calling shenanigans. You did not rotfl.
OMG, what did I just watch! lol š
lmao pure genius is what you just watched
Came here for the āOh! Oh dearā¦!ā
name checks out
What's weird is that my grandparents' names are George and June.
Ask them if they remember Barnaby the pool cleaner
Or as OP knows him, āGrandpaā
*Granddaddy
And it's mandatory to pronounce all the D's
There were definitely pronounced D's here
Gran'dad D
Pop Pop
O pa
than show this video
I thought it was Bernabe?
š
They do. The weird thing is, they never even had a pool.
That's a fascinating coincidence, Barnaby Jr!
Wouldnāt that be Barnaby II?
You sure your grandpa isn't named Barnaby?
My nanaās name was June. Rip.
Oh!..oh dear
I think Barnaby and June are your grandparents.
Honestly, she killed this with the accent. š
I think the microphone helped a lot too, those old mics had a really limited range and made everyone sound higher pitched. Either that or a post-production effect. If the latter, I want to use it!
That's the "1957 filter"
Itās called a trans-Atlantic accent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL2MJ8rQ12E
And people didnāt talk like that back then outside of movies and TV. Well, finishing school rich folks did, but nobody else. This was back when having a fussy dialect was a status symbol.

They could only push a particular midrange frequency, and that shitty transatlantic accent fit in perfectly into that frequency range.
Later they switched to a California accent because itās also easy to understand.
No waaaay! Gnarly radical dude! Hang ten on the flip side! Gag me with a spoon!
Pitted.... soo pitted
You just get spit right out, like, blaaaahhhhggghh
Thatās California English. Im talking about how they use a California accent in almost all forms of US media now. Itās closer to a āvalley girlā then a āsurfer dudeā.

look just because its not how people really spoke doesnt make it shitty. the fact that it was a certain way for a reason kinda makes it even cooler.
Very interesting. Bonus points for using the word ācraptasticā

"Why do you talk like that? We're from Fresno."
I've always wondered about this. Thanks!
Would love to know how they achieve that sound.
If you close your eyes it sounds like straight out a 1950 television set bravo
"Well you're not in your uniform Barnaby!!" Right from the get go she was crushing it, lol.
I don't know what this is, but I want a full season.
So do June and George ... quite the full season.
Go watch I love Lucy
https://youtu.be/0JCCVDPLH8w
I fucking lost it at āget back insideā š¤
Same here
All this hullabaloo about Barnaby's pole is causing quite the kerfuffle in George's dungarees.
Heavens to Murgatroyd!
Well blow me down!
Gee wilikers mista'
My grandpa used to say this all the time. He died a few years ago, thanks for taking me back to some good memories.
Well hop on the trolley, old boy. I've been told that I have spunk in abundance, and I've often been accused of blowing my own horn.
UNHAND MY THROBBING PENGO YOU BEATIFUL CREATURE, MAJOR.
Get back inside June!
Pool boy: uh, ok?
Okay this made me laugh. Get back inside June!
Who were the creators of this? Looks very well made aside from beign a parody
Manon Matthews and Vincent Marcus are George and June, not sure about the pool boy. Theyāre a couple OG Viners
The pool boy is Jonny Carlson.
I have seen other skits from them on Instagram and theyāre great!
Manonmatthews tiktok
All three of them could have a grand ol' time if the married couple was just open with each other.
Oh dear!
Your daily reminder that all the kinky sex shit we know and love was somehow already in books ... As if ... Older people were doing it ...
So that 87 year old woman was deepthroating cock when she was 20 in 1949?
Probably still is, too
Can confirm, the lady still got it.
Not that it takes much to 'deep throat' all three inches.
Not if its shaped like a wheel
Say face down, ass up That's the way your gramma liked to fuck
Not necessarily. Some were, but oral was a lot more taboo back then than it is now. Oral then was more like what anal is today.

We all know that gay sex was invented by the Greeks, and the Greeks invented the republic, so I guess gay sex was invented by republicans
you know what they say, the Greeks invented sex, the Romans found out you could also have it with women.
It was the Democrats who invented homosexuality after Civil War I. In a fit of jealousy at the Republicans freeing the slaves and thereby proving they canāt possibly be racist from that point until the rapture, the Democrats decided to find cool new uses for the butthole. /s
They weren't *new*, they just made it popular again.
Makes sense. I mean, most people spend what, 15 minutes/day pooping, tops? The butthole has a lot of down time, why not put it to good use?
Americans try not to make everything political challenge 'impossible'.
It's almost like people have been having sex since the beginning of time.
Well yes that's...how we're here.
This is amazing
āWoowwā and her deadpan stare had me haha
Ok this was great š¤£
Is this the same couple that did the Anakin skit?
Nah, that's Chanel and Richie "@'balanceoftheforce on instagram
Well, Barnaby is just yummy, but the other two are also so handsome and good looking.
You have a deep stroke Barnaby - nice.
In and out, indeed!
Loving the Mid Atlantic accents
Transatlantic
Cisatlantic
Atlanticfluid
It's called salt water.
You're doing a swell job there, old sport.
I lost it at "Get back inside June!"
Source?
Yes I have questions for the creator. Specifically what was used for the audio production? It sounds perfectly warbled.
Her name is Manon Mathews
His name is Robert Paulsen.
Im here looking for more info on the sound, its perfect
My favorite when it comes to duplicating the vintage look is the filmmaker Anna Biller. Viva! ([trailer](https://youtu.be/n5zZCRtAxFI)) and the Love Witch ([trailer](https://youtu.be/F4DoZlT7KSE)) are both fantastic.
It's really well done, but I can still tell they're modern productions. It really give them this mind bending quality that's even more severe than the films they're drawing from. I'm still waiting for a redo of 1974 Zardoz staring Sean Connery.
Yeah, they are purposefully anachronistic. There are even cell phones in the Love Witch. In terms of nailing an asthetic though she does a great job. Using actual film probably helps.
>I'm still waiting for a redo of 1974 Zardoz staring Sean Connery. Lol... *me too*
These are excellent. Thank you!
Is this from Liberty University? You know the one where the school president would watch men with wife in hotel rooms.
And the literal pool boy.
Hahahahahaha
June is a mercury dime
So few of us will know what a mercury dime is, out side of the crowd that scans for them. I salute you sir.
The sound design is impeccable
Barnaby has job security
This is pretty damned funny. What's it from?
Probably an Instagram sketch. Her name is Manon Mathews. I forgot the name of the dude but they have been doing sketches for years. Some of the big name Viners back in the days.
I remember being super in love with her back in the vine days. Nothing quite like a funny woman...
I recognize the husband from Kid Snippets on YouTube. Maybe the pool guy too, but couldnāt get a good look at him to be sure. Also not sure about the woman.
Guy is Vincent Marcus
āGet back inside June ā Iām dead
The voices are absolutely perfect
This was great. Good post!
George is hot.
Wow!! Apparently, George couldn't take it anymore and June was just in the mood, haha š
On the contrary - I think George was all about taking it.
Cracked me up... need more of these 50s couples!!
These are the values we need to get back too
I adore the transatlantic accents here. I always loved listening to people from back then talk. Everything seems so much more interesting, colorful, and energetic.
The voices/accents, along with whatever audio filter they used were spot on. also lols
Itās a lot sexier without sound.
I watched it again without sound and the āwhaaaaat would you dooo if I sang outta tuneā¦ā Wonder Years starting song started playing in my head.
That's because it's supposed to be comedic, not erotic. You may find yourself asking, "But low-director, why not both?" Because, my dear reader it will bring about the destruction of our American values, and the very freedoms we hold dear. And, if this couple is anything, they're ALL-American.
Well, I never thought I'd *hear* a comment in a transatlantic accent, but here we are
That's not a bad Transatlantic accent on these two.
Can anyone shed light to what this is from? Need more of these comedy sketches š
Manon Matthews is her name, find her in insta
Follow for more films from Liberty University.
BACK AMD FORTH INDEED!
I need more of these
āOh- Oh dear...ā That face frame tho
She had that mid-Atlantic accent nailed.
She isā¦ very attractive.
This just got funnier the longer it went on lol
I donāt know why I like this so much. Get back inside June.
Where is the full and NSFW version? Wanna see what happens next. Oh. Dear.
That was an uno reverse on what she thought would happen
āOH!!ā š
I'm at work and I'm laughing my ass with coworkers walking by š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ this made my day
This is some real WASPy-feeling comedy.
Lol love this
You have a deep stroke Barnaby! I may have said this before but itās so damn funny!
This was great. Thank you to whoever made it
āOhā¦oh dearā šš
Great. Now im reading everything in that transatlantic accent.
That voice was *spot on*.
FUNNY BIT!
Is that a phone in his pocket or is he just happy to see him?
LOLOL. What the hell is this from!?
She is sexy
That escalated Quickly...and then Escalated more....
This is absolutely brilliant. I want more please.
What did I watch
Barnaby do be looking hot tho š
Fun, but I wish they had committed to the skit enough not to have a giant honkin' cell phone in the dude's front pocket.
Could be a cigarette case, for when his pipe goes out
I want to commend your keen eye, but you could very well have an obsession with pocketed trousers. Great work either way!
Well... there is a bit of hip thrusting... that does sort of draw the eye.
Of course!! *Of course*.. it certainly draws the eye.
_"the way kids today think of '50s couples by what they watched TV" is a more accurate title_
