[@jesussaves6625]

I use a lot of these videos with my daughter in her homeschool program

[@john8890]

This should still be taught in school

[@sarahpogue1122]

My mother was strict about manners i appreciate it

[@Uri-Altenhofen]

I been there believe me

[@johnbockelie3899]

Pounding chalk board erasers and thinking the dust is harmless.

[@Starwarsfanboy501]

"I'm gonna wipe you out! " Future mob hit man right there.

[@TheRealMadamBlackWolf]

Anyone recognize the voice behind Chalky? It's none other than the legendary Dallas McKennon who voiced Gumby! 😃

[@princessmarlena1359]

I thought he sounded familiar.

[@yodservant]

I loved Gumby!!

[@jalaneperry7643]

Today's kids could really use this video I'm telling you their manners today in today's classrooms are appalling

[@thesamuraihobbit]

A good few adults would do well to remember this.

[@petegtorcan]

“I’m ready to go, Larry...” Holyshit what a dark turn!

[@8800081]

LOL.... the average lifespan of a chalk stick figure wasn't too long back in the 50s.

[@princessmarlena1359]

“I’m Mr. Chalky, look at meeeeee!”

[@lindathrall5133]

GOOD MANNERS CAN BE YOUR BEST FRIENDS TO GET YOU INTO LOTS OF PLACES

I just watched this in avid and I love it!!! It’s awesome 👩🏽👩🏽

[@wolfieandtheangel7977]

My math teacher plays this to each her classes in the second week of school. I honestly love how this looks, it's great for a 1950s film

[@archaicamusement3871]

Larry must be in his 80s by now

[@captainwilliam3920]

He looks like he was around 10 years old in this video, and this video was made in 1958, so he’s most likely in his 70s right now

[@8800081]

Yes, and he's still an ass. Nobody at the old folks home likes him. They tried to replace his medication with cyanide capsules.

[@myboringpowerpoints7782]

And he’s still in elementary school.

[@jb6712]

This was made the year I was born, and he was likely only about ten at that time, in 1953, so yes, he'd be right around 78, 79 now.

Manners, something a lot of students lack today because of permissive parents.

[@laurelkane8026]

Manners should have been taught by his parents.

[@aadamtx]

And apparently bad manners because of permissive parents existed back in the 1950s, if this is any indication! Of course, perhaps his parents were strict and he's just a little sociopath?

[@directronica]

Right, instead they teach new, useless things, like anti-racism, and tolerance.

[@nicolettemichelle888]

A lot of students back in the day had awful manners. Like treating women and POC like lesser humans for example. Old days were not the good ole days. Kids today have way more manners, AND they’ve learned to not let ass hole adults walk all over them and violate their boundaries. Respect goes both ways.

[@deboraholsen2504]

Also because of permissive teachers!

[@jb6712]

Hunh---when I was in grade school, it was one of the biggest privileges of all time to clean the boards and the erasers! The most coveted job, though, was helping the farm ladies in the school kitchen for a week at a time. I got to do that twice in my sixth and seventh grades, and I loved doing all those jobs! But, then, I was just "some girl," not a rude boy.

[@johnbockelie3899]

I'm full of manners from my childhood. A lot of these kids now days have a lot to be desired. 😊

[@kachoo2135]

Chalkie, I used to love to clean the blackboards in school. I could have used you during my middle school years when I got sick. I kept getting strep throat so my mother takes me to the doctor; those tonsils of mine had ought to come out. I had them out September 1968

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

"Gosh, you can talk!" But YOU can't act, Larry boy. Uh-uh! Of course, when other people are rude at your expense, it's up to you to be passive and ignore them and make them stop that way. (It's your fault for being sensitive and encouraging them!)

[@timothywilson6866]

Miss Rand was hot!

[@georgetemplon8803]

Larry grew up to be a chalky lover

[@JNeil1975]

Later that day.....Larry was sent to an asylum for children who hear voices.

Remember when chalk board drawings talked to you? Talk about a bad trip.

[@spartankongcountry6799]

The kid in the thumbnail looks exactly like Jimmy from Bully.

[@mandrews817]

Don't you love how the kid has a "dumb" Southern accent and the narrator has the polite (and artificially constructed) Mid-Atlantic accent? Oh, stereotypes!

[@dianaarneson6590]

I didn't notice a southern accent. But I doubt they would deliberately cast a kid with a southern accent, anyway. They probably just gave him the part because he was good at acting like a brat.

[@albertkundrat1734]

Who was LARRY? What was His full name? Is LARRY still ALIVE in 2022?

Rudy’s got the chalk

Manners in school, 1958. No spit wads, no dipping girls pig tails in ink wells, no thinking all girls are creepy. No talking in class while the teacher is talking.😅

[@chuckrawlings8875]

Chalky-A word used in TV commercials to describe the texture of laxatives and antacids as in, "Larry's dad took a lot of chalky antacids the night he found out his son was talking to the chalkboard in class."

[@manxkin]

Now Larry, what did I tell you about LSD?

[@ORIGINALREDY2MIX]

😭👀😭😭😭😭

[@punkyagogo]

The original chalkzone.

[@davidkearney3826]

Wow! Fun with LSD at school!!

So many Karens and Chads in America are in desperate need of watching this video right now, it is not even funny.

[@melevanpjones]

Chalky. LoL. Creative.

[@tj921able]

Has Larry been doing acid when he can see a chalk drawing start to talk to him?

[@Bitsy1960]

This kid needs to be locked up!!! Hearing voices seeing things that are not there. Next time you know that stick figure will tell him to shoot his parents and throw the bodies in the river!! I think Larry needs meds!!!

[@fembotprincess1]

This is what the little boy saw when he went on acid

[@steveairport]

"I'm worried about you, Larry... It's because of the president! He put microphones behind your bedroom walls so that everything you say is recorded and sent straight to the FBI!"

[@davidkearney3826]

So many of these have absolutely nothing to do with manners! Did people know words in the 1950’s?

[@reclusivehermitwithalongbu3767]

If I was Larry, I'd tell that teacher to erase her own damned blackboard.

[@jb6712]

One of the reasons you were probably disliked by your teachers.
