The Brain center at Whipples, not Mr Whipples...

This episode was on MeTV, today, 5-10-24.

Wow, I love that back-hand right across the face.

Mr. Hanley, went a little 'POSTAL", before it was, in "STYLE".

I have never seen this episode.

Dag. Handley brought wood.

Mel Cooley has a second job?

What was there to laugh at? I've seen the full episode, and there wasn't anything to make anyone laugh there, either. Someone has a seriously warped sense of humor to think there's anything humorous here.

Rod serling must have had a hunch of what our present time would be like.

Perhaps the greatest bitch-slap ever filmed. LOL!

Mr Whipple took that pimp slap like a boss

I Know a really big famous retail place I'd like to tell that to

It won't be long, I watched this episode a couple of months ago......worth watching. It gave me chills, this is not good. These people are playing God !! 1st prototype is expected last 2022 . We are living the Twilight Zone!!

As an engineer, this sort of comforts me that I'll be the very last to go if the machines take over.

I would have taken the money !

This is about replacement by automation but wouldn't society social consequences be the same if replacement was by machine, slave labor, off shore production or mass imported labor of those willing to work cheaper.

Take this job and shove it... literally.

Forget the overlays, they ruin the whole clip.

Weird, the funny part of the video seems to have been deleted. And I so wanted to laugh. Thanks for getting my hopes up with your dishonest title. :(

My boss when he fired me! Fooled him! I retired and he's still working! Awww too bad!

Don't squeeze the Charmin!

Handley was an idiot. He threw away a great pension and severance package for one moment of anger. Firing that jerk was one of the best moves Whipple could have made. Note: Handley died 5 years later, (just after being released from prison) a penniless beggar.

This was silly, not funny, not educational, barely entertaining. Now don't get me wrong, as a kid I loved watching Twilight Zone, but this particular episode was one of the more sanctimonious ones. Besides, as one of the commenters pointed out, Hanley would have had to be an "idiot" to have thrown away his severance pay and pension, not to mention end up in jail for assault and battery! High morals are fine and dandy when you're rich, but they're too pricey when you're trying to put food on the table or keep a roof over your head. Plus Violence Is NEVER An Acceptable Option!!!

What is currently going on now in America in the world and especially what's going in on in Washington I think every person should do the exact same thing that mr. Hanley did to his boss

This episode warns against the rise of automation. Today we have corporations replacing even more people with computerized automation and even AI

Knick knack paddy whack give the boss good smack...

Funny how this was seen back in 1964 as fiction but now with Robotics and AI its becoming a reality. Wonder who these companies will sell their products too when we are all out of work because of this technology. "History Repeats itself"

How things have changed since classic Sci-Fi TV days now that machines are taking over the work force.

This may be the greatest moment in television history.

Where are the men of principle now? Why are we allowing greed to shape our world?

Car Dealers of the future. I thought it was funny in 1964 when I was 10. The machines firing him is even funnier. Mel (I mean Whipple) cries in his beer. SO many people I wish I'd done that to before I retired. Many liberal so called journalists deserve a back hand like this one.

My last words to a asshole boss : Punch out Remove my boots remove my overalls run out to the parking lot in my van run back to the shop put everything on and punch back in 30 mins from what use to be 1hr ? But that leaves no time to bang your daughter waiting in my van... Fired with compensation after the labor board deemed it un work related ..lol..And yes i was banging her

Every person in the world would love to do that

These are the players - with or without a scorecard. In one corner a machine; in the other, one Wallace V. Whipple, man. And the game? It happens to be the historical battle between flesh and steel, between the brain of man and the product of man's brain. We don't make book on this one and predict no winner... but we can tell you for this particular contest, there is standing room only - in the Twilight Zone.

Hey that one guy is Mr. Rutherford he’s Lupe’s dad and leave it to beaver I’m not certain but I think he was also on the Dick Van Dyke show

Episode 154: Hanley busking for food at the bus depot

His head came back like a bobblehead

I laughed so hard. He BITCH slapped him!

Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others you may become vain and bitter; For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroisms. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. Do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born out of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; You have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Irritating dialog on screen. It does not need it. I am not 10 years old.

Mr Bezo's in the near future!

That arrogant old bastard was so self-righteous! I wish that Whip had smacked him back.

We don't need your subtitles, thank you. We adults can follow dialog and plot just fine without your attention hijacking fingers in the pie

Amazon all the way!

Is there a clip of Ted De Corsia’s “I’M A MAAAAAAAAAANNNNN, MR. WHIPPLE!!!!!!!” speech anywhere?

Factories had their own bars back then??? Wow the 60's were some great times.

That's what I like about 1964

Unfortunately, this is only half of the story. The other side to this coin is if Mr. Whipple didn't innovate and replace human labor with machine labor, he would eventually lose his company to another company that did. We are coming to a time now in human history where machines are more efficient than men. Maybe one day, with enough compassion, we can bring in a Universal Basic Income but it will be after a lot of misery, shame and anger.
