Night of the Living Dead Explained For Nuclear Families! (A Comedic Commentary)

Night of the Living Dead (1968) set the standard for zombie films as we know them today. It was shocking for its time and kind of depicts the way America was changing, but more importantly how America was depicted in the entertainment industry. It’s pretty iconic in that regard. So who better to “explain” this movie for than those nuclear families who experienced a bit of a surprise at the changes taking place in the 1960’s!
For those who might ask, a “nuclear family” was considered a basic unit of modern society in the years leading up to this time period and it still considered an important aspect of our society today by many. A “nuclear family” is a mom, a dad, and their children (usually biological only, though some definitions include adopted children and stepchildren).

"says goodbye and she chokes, tries to walk away and she stumbles" awesome drop, Jeb! Maybe I'm the only one who caught it, but know it wasn't wasted!

[@MarcillaSmith]

His world might have crumbled if you were not there

[@aesinam]

thevisionary2007 lol nope you weren't the only one who caught it

[@WateverWatever04]

"Idjits" has got to be my favorite word in the entirety of the southern lexicon

[@TheChio116]

WateverWatever04 what does that word mean? Short people?

[@fourthgirl]

We can thank Yosemite Sam and Jeb for making sure that wonderful word stays alive.

[@fourthgirl]

@@TheChio116 It's southern for "idiot".

[@thatsthat2612]

Eejit, an Irish and scottish word for idiot

[@TheChio116]

Jeb’s videos are educational too! 😂 ❤️

[@simpsonman956]

Ooooo :D And this one's in the public domain so nobody can possibly claim it. Take *that* KZbin!!

[@j9rd115]

KZbin cannot claim it? Are you kidding me? Do you watch h3? He was copystriked for a song that wasn't in the video. KZbin surpresses who it wants.

[@CB-jx9pw]

I love how your videos are like miniature time travels with all the historical / cultural references! It's so clever and interesting! Your entertainment is never superficial but truly intelligent, witty and lighthearted at the same time! And your voice - priceless!! Also love your sarcasm! Fantastic stuff, Jeb, have a great Sunday!

[@lizzfrmhon]

“We here at URFCKED have concluded that you’re all doomed” 😂😂😂😂👌🏼

[@tonym2784]

Jed as always.... MASTERPIECE

[@jeanackle]

*Jeb But still liked your comment.

[@kitteesPJs]

Those lucky kittens! Am I the only one who wants 'Love you, Muffin' merch? (hint hint 😜)

[@kitteesPJs]

Awwww, you hearted my comment. ♥️😊 Nobody makes me smile like you do and I'm honored to have the opportunity to try return the favor. Thank you for all the hard work you put into making us laff. We love YOU, Muffin. 😘😁

[@theshape7214]

Merch at the end of the month apparently

[@sea0fgreen33]

You should do The Thing explained for PETA

[@christelheadington1136]

I used to annoy my friends by predicting the end of movies. Usually it was because the movies were so predictable. When it came to Night of the Living Dead, I was thinking, "What could be the worse ending ever for this guy?" Called it.

[@ryanlynn]

URFKED, my favorite radio and tv station for all my apocalypse viewing needs

[@_aragornyesyes_7171]

I need more *MEF* Also also pls do *IT* explained for sewer workers Great vid btw ;v

[@komalahayes1535]

Might be a problem...rights and all...nice idea though

[@liona6770]

I just found this channel yesterday and I am utterly in love with it you deserve a lot more subs what a shame people don't appreciate the good in life until it's gone

[@alananata6364]

You killed it with the Macy Gray 'try to say goodbye and I choke , try to walk away and I stumble' bit!! I was laughing like a fool. You made my day so much better. Thank you, Jed. Ediah.

[@janetrock8905]

I had to stop the video I was laughing so hard he go for the hooch she lock down the cooch. Brilliant!

[@CB-jx9pw]

"Is it my breath?" - A perfect potential quote for your merch...! Hysterical!

[@UrMomsChauffer]

Round, round, get around. I get around. I love it! A Beach Boys reference to set the tone, you are the man!

[@AmericanActionReport]

Great work! In my entire life, I found only two movies so horrifying that I had to hold onto my seat to keep from running out of the theater. One was "The Night of the Living Dead;" the other was "Black Sunday." Please do "Black Sunday"--not the one with Laura Dern's crazy daddy--the one with that hot bit Barbara Steele.

[@emanuelaemanuela]

I am from Germany an want to thank you for the undertitles. So so so funny!!!!

[@ww8251]

"Toss em a loved one..." sounds like a sound plan. I'm making a list right now. I may be on someone else's list......

[@kittyd9283]

Speaking of Stand By Me...are we going to get a Stand By Me Explained for people with no friends? I've asked before but I'm not above asking any time you make a SBM reference ;) Another great video btw!

[@redmaiden7899]

❤ the Macy Gray ref 😄

[@toxicginger9936]

YES!!

[@Frogberto]

"I try to cry and I choke, try to walk away and I stumble" - ha ha ha

[@damnitnanet122]

"They didn't know back then but we all know now, that the first bit to get bit gotta get the boot." hahaha your rapid fire delivery kills me very time XD i'm always having to rewind. Especially you explaining the family roles and making it rhyme hahaha omg

[@thetimeisninefifteen]

That Macy Gray reference at 00:58 ...I'm dying lofl!😂😂😂😂😂

[@WateverWatever04]

Ah, a nice spooky hit of MEF right before Halloween just what I needed

[@jackthatch3836]

With Jeb's tips "how to not mess up a Zombie Apocalypse", you can´t go wrong. Just follow these simple steps and you´ll be fine. Thank you, Jeb... not so Lonely-diah.

[@caesar1700]

Before we begin, let me start by saying... MEF rules!

[@classicrockgal]

I remember not knowing this movie existed so in 1968 went to the drive in to see The Slave. That was the only title on the marquee. When it ended we were getting set to leave when NOTLD comes on. I was like WOW!!!!!! Loved this movie ever since.

[@2ez4micko]

Breakfast at Tiffany's got removed too? Damn you KZbin!!

[@sonyaethaniel]

I'm only half way thru this and I'm astounded by your with and humour. What a wonderful gift to have. I've seen this movie and it's so sad and depressing. You can make anything funny. God bless you🌸

[@NoraTKD]

Never heard about this movie, looks genuinely scary, I did not expect it to be so violent but watching pieces of it is so much better with Jeb's commentary! Makes it less scary :D

[@SaikoKujo]

NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS MOVIE??? How is that possible. There is NO zombies without NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Literally.

[@IRONHEAD12701]

I hope Lonely Lester finds someone to dine with. Maybe he will find love in the afterlife. Poor Lester.

[@CB-jx9pw]

Hi Jeb! Another classic that you've created here, amazing and hysterical!! We love you, Jeb, hope many people will support you on Patreon because what you do requires a lot of work and is soooo good!! Have a fantastic day, you've certainly made mine!:-)

[@MoviesExplainedFor]

Thank you!

[@dannyd.4099]

Jeb you restore order to my life. Hope to see you on the living side of a zombie apocalypse.

[@alicewilloughby4318]

This movie terrified me when I was 14, but I never did understand why the first dead guy kept chasing the girl when he had killed the brother and could have just stopped and eaten him. Great video, though!

[@jackjones298]

"Set some bits on fire along the way." Sound scientific advice, that.

[@bubbapacha7672]

As always another WONDERFULLY GREAT video!!!! Tyvm

[@Bruno.601]

"No Country for old man" PLEASE!

[@mattboggs6304]

Happy Halloween. Love you Muffin.

[@creboski]

Your channel is so great. I have been binge watching and can say for sure, you make quality content. I appreciate your work on MEF and am so excited every time you upload. Ive already like your FB and plan to go to your patreon to help you keep going. Thank you for reviewing and explaing so many different types of movies that other you tubers dont.

[@sylviat9692]

You are my favorite movie narrator. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@KittylinAnaya16]

watches ad cause.... simply I love your content

[@c.robison448]

Everytime all the way through!

[@CB-jx9pw]

Nucular family, hahaha!! Who else noticed that reference?? You're not beating about the Bush, Jeb, love it!! (Please never get pc, Jeb, you being so real and saying what you damn well please is a breath of fresh air, especially since these days everyone worries and apologizes and is offended all the time over nothing...! Humour and the slightly rebellious element...- what a glorious combination, you gotta love it ;-))

[@katemaloney4296]

Hey! That's how we Texans say it. I didn't know it was NU-CLEAR until I was 30. We all say NU-CU-LER. Personally, I think it sounds better that way.

[@laras678]

@@katemaloney4296 But...but it's not spelled that...way. There's a "nu" and a "clear". There's nothing between the C and the L! It "sounds better" in the same way "p'sketty" sounds better than "spaghetti," in that it's an entirely different word! It's not like a "to-may-to"/"to-mah-to" kind of situation.

[@MECHALINA_6702]

Love it jeb keep it coming

[@Koroli]

Omg you put Macy Gray in this, you're the best! 🤣🤣🤣

[@mrxtra8789]

Dude. You are the absolute best at this narration thing. I loved every second of this.

[@cocoapeach]

This one was funny! What happened to Breakfast at Tiffany's?

[@HelloKittyFreak96]

Try to walk away and I stumble! I totally got that reference I love Fantasia 😂

Also, I would love to see you do Sleuth (1972). That's the one with Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier.

[@marissabones]

Love this channel but I'd love it more if you would either do Donnie Darko and or Gone Girl.

[@matthewmata3973]

Jeb when are you releasing Halloween (1978) explained for babysitters?

[@TaurusWitch29]

Three times fast had me howling, and i was already dying at she trips, and she stumbllleeees, "run lester go get your cuddle!" And "is it my breath?" This one is one of the funniest ive seen so far, i laughed the whole way through 😂 Ive had to watch this three times in a row just because i cant get enough lol

[@kellyboyce2180]

Macy Grey great music.

[@sarahhamia1111]

Jed PLEASE do the "Wolf of Wall Street"!!!😍😍

[@David-ru4ho]

Ur back!!! Yes

[@K_Woods]

How bout a Flowers In the Attic MEF. That'd be the bees knees.

[@V4Vonnie]

Every time I see one of these videos I laugh down to my special place

[@TheChio116]

My lonely days are gone! My Jeb is back!! 😂 love you 😍 muffin! I want a sweater that says Jeb Ediah on the back and Love you muffin on the front!

[@Manojkumar-qc8bk]

Jeb! Can u make videos of popular movies or atleast movies which are heard of, cos when u made videos for Godfather, Pyscho I can relate to ur clever references from the movie. Now I have to watch the damn movie, so I can understand ur commentary. :( Good video btw 😁

[@Jrsdigest]

0:56 😂 I see you Macy Gray

[@OllieNCS]

Nice one! I stopped watching Children of the Corn for this... Happy Halloween!

[@darkwingduck3790]

That bowling joke broke me.

[@BTheTrue]

Hooch Cooch Mooch. Awesome.

[@Mary.420]

You should do Cinderella Man next

[@benglass769]

What happened to your explanation of Dirty Dancing??? I must show my friend. Hope it’s not copyright stuff. 🙁

[@guendoff2400]

I JUST SHAT ON MYSELF WATCHING THIS VIDEO OH GAWD.... MEF IS HELL OF A DRUG!!

[@erickjohnson7128]

Best one ( outside of Godfather 2) Vito!

[@marissabones]

Love you muffin 🙃

[@jaronimo1976]

Lonely Lester looks like Greg Shapiro..

[@kellyboyce2180]

Jeb you have a mind to match my own. Have you ever heard of a old classic cartoon called A man Called Flintstone, Beverley Hills Cops, or Rich Men Single Women with Suzanne Sumners and Heather Locklere? I hope you can put them on your list of possible MEF movies. Or treat us to Gremlins for Christmas (which by the way is one of the best date movies EVER made). But part 1 only as part 2 was utter rubbish 😞

[@egranger2128]

The black guy almost survived :’(

[@corrineweber1007]

Literally saw this movie yesterday. Only watched it because it is supposed to be early horror classic. And yeah the poor guy boards up the house all by himself cause the others don't have any ideas, he finds rifle, has enough guts to fight the zombies and then gets killed by the police/mob. I knew it all that trouble for nothing. Really liked your funny spin.

[@agustindelavega6177]

MEF MERCH PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trust me, you'll win more money with that.
