I love the look on dad's face when he's looking at the bills. "Oh hell. Fucking bitch been spending all my money again."

"When he sees the bill, Dad will discipline Mom's spending habits by mobilizing one of the family's Domestic Violent Droids - all at the touch of a push-button!"

I don't know why it's so funny to me that he checks out his bank statement by looking at a photograph of his bank statement. Good work, 60s futurists!

Even if only 1% or less of all Futurist predictions ever come true, the other 99% makes for some HEE-LARIOUS reading/viewing after about a half century or more.

The father's reaction acting is what made this video my first 'favorite' on poetv.
