It's a Wonderful Life Explained For Pessimists! (A Comedic Commentary!)

It's a wonderful life for a man who gave his entire life to help others? Yep, that's the moral of this story. George Bailey spent his whole life not getting anything he wants - except for that booty. Which I admit may have made it all worth it in the end.
Yes, this is another oldie but goodie. Happy thanksgiving, Muffins.

Zuzu Bailey was named for a particular brand of cookie: Zuzu's Ginger Snaps. That is why George calls her "My little ginger snap".

[@moonlily1]

There was also a short lived alternative rock band called Zuzu's Petals.

"Immobilized potato " " ceased to respirate" " We all beautiful in the eyes of God except you " Best quotes!!

[@jeremiahwilliamson9699]

"Go fund me, the Bailey's did it first!" I love it!

[@Joylibelle]

Actually, they didn't. The Bailey's didn't need to ask for anything. Their friends heard George was in trouble, and they donated money without asking questions.

[@jeremiahwilliamson9699]

@@Joylibelle Didn't Mr. Gower cable Sam Wainwright that George needed cash?

[@Joylibelle]

@@jeremiahwilliamson9699 Sure, but the Bailey's themselves didn't ask anything from anyone (like in go fund ME). That's why Mary was so excited and told George that a miracle had happened.

[@jeremiahwilliamson9699]

@Joylibelle I just thought it was a funny comment by Jeb.

[@Joylibelle]

@@jeremiahwilliamson9699 Yes, it was funny. Jeb is a funny linguist😀

"The man who ain't Shot Liberty Valance, but got credit for it." That is f****** gold right there.

[@umbrastar]

I hate that Mr Potter just got away with keeping the money. It would have been nice in the end if someone walks in and says Mr Potter died in a freak toilet accident.

[@auldthymer]

Saturday Night Live almost did that: Uncle Billy remembered what happened to the money. George, Mary and the whole town go to Mr. Potter's office and stomp him to death!

[@sistersabotage1367]

Hey Jeb! I'm binging mef while in the hospital. Thanks for the laughs. I need them

“I don’t have your money. It’s in Tom’s house…and Fred’s house.”

"Hey! What the hell you doin' with my money, Fred!?" *punch is thrown, and a general melee ensues*

I dunno what you’re talking’ about. I ain’t got nobody’s money in my house..... not even my own!

Thankful for you Jeb- Feel like your our Clarence! Everytime a MEFer chuckles, an angel gets his wings!

[@jobethk588]

Lots of angels with wings!

[@einsteindarwin8756]

My aunt said that there are people who give and people to take but I’m both and I’m so exhausted.

[@auldthymer]

For me, the chilling moment in this movie is in the fantasy, when "Ma" Bailey runs the boarding house and gives George the gimlet eye!

[@kellyalves756]

Also, “boarding house.” Right? 🧐

[@zakluck1686]

You and me both Jeb that ending gets me everytime

[@GeorgeSemel]

Maj. Gen. James Stewart then Colonel USAAF first movie he did when he came home from the 8th Airforce, ETO World War II. I to this day think it's one of his best Muffin and dittos to Frank Capra.

[@raoularmagnac2037]

It's the BEST work that either Jimmy Stewart or Frank Capra EVER did! And they were both GENIUSES!!! 😁😎😃

[@nikkiderricott4169]

Hey Jeb, your new videos always seem to show up when I need a good laugh. P.S. when is t MEF Rocky V going to be released?

[@scottyoshihara2458]

Uncle Jeb it’s funny part of the movie was filmed by my place in La Canada. Also Jimmy Steward was sick when he filmed the movie

[@LadyHeathen82]

Chisel in your hand-Blanche!

[@anyviolet]

you made a great movie hilarious 8:27 LMAO

[@judsongaiden9878]

Notice how the alternate timeline is kinda like 'Back to the Future, Part 2' where corruption is the status quo. I mean, more so than it typically is. 5:49 What about Pazuzu from 'The Exorcist'?

[@komalahayes1535]

I love MEF enough to watch ALL THE ADS. 😘

[@electrosurge6662]

how does this guy not have more views or subscribers?! Always fucking hilarious!

[@christelheadington1136]

Around 4:20-something Jeb almost died, BUT he never said , "But he didn't". So did he? And if he did, who the heck finished the narration? BTW Happy Thanksgiving. Since it wasn't mentioned does it mean MAYBE we'll get another MEF tomorrow ?

[@Pur9leRain]

I’m sorry but even watching a satirical commentary on this movie made me tear up. I have watched this film a few times in my long life but still cry at the end.

[@crystalraf]

6:54 the Angel is wearing a breast feeding night gown.

[@gpfoster1966]

Zuzu: Teacher says, "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings." George: That's right! ACLU lawyers note the name of Zuzu's teacher, so that they can pay her a little visit! ... (dressed in dark trench coats, with thick German accents) "Ve vant to ask you some questions..." Oh, wait, this is, after all, a good Christian movie!
