Rod serling Bloopers

Rare Rod Serling Bloopers During a Public Service Announcement.

[@TheLSK]

The late, great Rod Serling. The human race will never see his like again.

[@jayc2469]

Seconded. I often wonder whether it was public knowledge at the time, that Rod narrated a lot of the classified atomic weapons test films post WWII? It was also around the time of Twilight Zone original broadcasts

[@astrowiz3544]

Theres intellectuals in the modern age. You just have to look hard to find them, as theyre not big celebrity names.

[@828EAB]

It's weird: I'm an adamant twilight zone fan. I have the whole collection so I'm used to Rod Serling narrating in his educated, wordy way. So when he said, "I just fucked up" -I cracked up!! RIP Rod. Your the greatest!

[@tubian323]

Yeah I think one of the funniest bloopers I ever heard was Rod Serling in this video 3:06

[@robertepervary264]

Serling brings his usual professional integrity, demeanor, good humor and famous voice to this endeavor; but he is no match for the cheap, subpar production values here.

[@michaelquebec6653]

Agreed! Early 1960's suits (and for that matter, late '50's suits) were way sharper than '70's clothes.

[@holliemitchell6416]

there is no depth for my love and admiration for this man. He had such a wonderful beautiful mind. Why can't they make great shows like Twilight Zone and Night Gallery anymore?💙👻❤❤

[@AudiophileTubes]

Love Rod Serling! What a LEGEND! Easily the most creative man in TV history. His stress level seems to have increased after 'The Twilight Zone' was cancelled. He seemed lost and without direction. Then again, after being involved in the most seminal and best TV series in history, how could you top that immense achievement?!

[@blakemcnamara9105]

I just read that in his voice for some reason.

[@3dofanatic]

just out of nowhere.. i just fucked up the whole reading. that was the funniest part

[@wheelinthesky300]

"...And I just fucked up the whole reading..."

[@SnuffyWuffles]

"let's ask one of the greatest TV writers of all time to ride around on a fake bike and wax poetic about being a good citizen and stopping pollution." What a weird, weird time the 70s were.

[@danielhetue6968]

Serling has always been an iconic producer and narrator no matter what.

[@blacksmithorange8906]

I...I just heard Rod Serling....drop an F-Bomb....my life is complete.

[@dedbusted]

Rod Serling seemed like he was patient and very nice...not like he was egotistical at all...what a good writer and creative genius.

[@torgman]

"Smell a flower": Appreciate nature, so that you'd be more motivated to preserve it.

[@binaryusenet4943]

It's weird seeing him in color, it's even weirder to see him not wearing a suit.

[@mspeter97]

what's great is that even when he says he fucked up, you don't even realise it

[@rivette523]

the 70s willl live in infamy for ugly clothes

[@reversereverie]

whoa! he's zoomin', and on the wrong side of the road, too!

[@sellersgarner]

I like this, I was hoping for a fake bike ride with hell or something in the background, but you can't have everything.

[@SenorZorrozzz]

Serling was a good guy.

[@praguephotog]

Hearing Rod Serling swear is something that should be in an episode of "The Twilight Zone". Surreal.

[@Noveltooner]

It would be great to see the hilarious Paul Lynde-Rod Serling commmercial for the late Manufacturers Hanover Trust, which ends with Lynde's leaving the bank branch as the disgruntled, critical New Yorker hilariously saying, "You know something, you're all being very nice…and I DON'T LIKE IT!!!" Then, Serling announces, "New York…the city of eight million critics; but Manufacturers Hanover is trying. It's banking the way you want it to be."

[@ericinwisconsin]

It's bizarre to see Serling on a bike. The man was a great writer, but lived a VERY unhealthy lifestyle that ruined his health. He died way too early.

[@jeffw1267]

Yeah, the first thing I thought was, where's his cigarette?

[@mikeg.6412]

No he didn't . "His rtime clock! that was given to him when he was born expired on the exact time and day he was given in the hospital right after he was born. There is NEVER a mistake

[@georgejuniorleedom4476]

@@mikeg.6412 Malarkey. Next you'll tell us to contribute to Scientology...

[@wb7ptr]

I love Rod, even if he did goof ... real genious. I see someone had rare access to the set too. These bloopers are pretty interesting ...

[@Classictvcollector]

I work for the Department of Environment and Coservation here in Tennessee so this really hits home.

[@synthpophead]

Oh man I LOVE ROD SERLING so much! He was so hot in the twilight zones! Ya thats right I went there...

[@alphabeets]

Rod was indeed a very classy guy. I miss him.

[@stivking]

After watching him in the Twilight zone series i just cant stop laughing at this. Thanks so much for the upload.

[@maydom04]

Yes, that was worth waiting for...show's his humanity and humour and humility and humbleness

[@SueBeaWho]

Agreed. Bloopers are FUNNY! These are just basic human mistakes. Subtle difference yet a difference all the same!

[@Randy71138]

Ok, am I the only one who thought Serling was gonna say, "...Smell a fart..." at 0:53? LOL!!!!!!!! Maybe so.

[@ErichH68]

Not his fault. He was nearly flawless however the people who he was working for weren’t. It’s great that our water is clean and air is now clear. Time for China to do the same! The more I see Mr. Serling the more I admire and respect him.

[@godzilla2011able]

@notvalidcharacters I Agree. People should use terms like " blooper" in an accurate way. But I really enjoyed watching these PSA's BUT there was only one misreading "and I just fucked up the whole reading" [THAT is a real LOL] , and, yet he was still professional and remarked "and I want to apologize for that". Thanks for sharing these rare out-takes....

[@megabojan1993]

The sad thing is, the earth is much polluted now than it was back in the 1970's :(

[@rydertodd11]

you mean much cleaner than the 70's...

[@newerafrican]

I would say that, in the US anyway, the air and water quality is better than 50 years ago. The biggest "pollution" is population. Very few truly wild places anywhere.

[@superstrangevideo]

Really? Did we all die yet?

[@TimelordR]

Just goes to show that Rod Serling is just as human as the rest of us. Thanks for the rare footage!

[@bryansikes4960]

I Thought Rod Searling Was Cool!!!!

[@badfinger20]

I wish we had another Rod Serling writing today.... Unlike most of you I love the 70's clothes...sure beats today's corporate (everyone must look alike) mentality. From Cars, music and styles...they were all over the place in the 70's unlike now.

[@Tazzman]

He sounds like one of those old transistor radios when the station is not adjusted properly!

[@lavvy2585]

wow he had a huge head!

[@tapeduk]

Rod had class

[@maydom04]

sounds like a cult-of-one to me

[@mongrelkatz]

Amazing, what year was this?

[@rickcharles5064]

Remember Dad flying us to LA for Disneyland. Big sister started crying as we got closer because of the heavy haze from the smog. Is it any better now that would have been 71.

[@SportsGirl234]

they do!

[@GoddessLacus]

@tommyAK13 maybe that's why he's such a genius

[@Tclay43]

............................you win

[@maydom04]

your handle says it all

[@jacquelinebugaringonzalez4999]

Joaquin phonix are u listening????

[@QuincyDisneyVegan]

actually he was standing in front of a blue screen for an early chroma key effect, which predated todays green screen technology.

[@radcam69]

this is funny. the filming was actually southbound on Los Angeles Street in LA, past the still standing and filthy Baltimore Hotel.

[@SnuffyWuffles]

Ha ha. I should have been more observant.

[@gregtheproduct]

haha I got that even if nobody else did.

[@torgman]

My new world order needs hugging. Can you help me out?

[@torgman]

@danny101682 Where are you?

[@lindarobinson195]

The public does not know much . Sometimes mistakes are the best part. No one knows at times yours Evans w Robinson

[@SnuffyWuffles]

well, no kidding. It's the WAY they're having Serling do it...I don't see Bono riding around in front of a blue screen on a stationary bike sounding like Mr. Rogers on acid. Anyway, pollution is bad.

[@rivette523]

you can say that again but can't see that it changed things then or will change things now

[@ExplorerDS6789]

@Ramubay Probably the same people who made that Orson Wells radio ad.

[@spicedjellybeans]

He's in a studio. The scenery is being played on a screen behind him.

[@maydom04]

His short stature made his head look bigger...he was 5 feet 4 inches

[@gymnastix]

I recall a Rod Serling anti-drug Public Service Announcement (PSA), with an image of a syringe growing larger & larger and a young man becoming smaller & smaller. I wonder if that Serling PSA still exists, and is also, perhaps, somewhere on You Tube? Does anyone out there in "The Zone" recall that Serling spot?

[@Dane_Youssef]

Just comb the net.

[@hiseminencetheholymacdiarmada]

6:36 lmao!!

[@Reshme77]

6:36 You watch your mouth or I'll banish you to the twilght zone.

[@Vidchemy]

to the corn field...

[@JesseTheMindless]

Good thing his wig didn't fly off!

[@lavvy2585]

Thaks maydom I would have never guessed that. He was just a couple inches taller than I am.

[@turnertalking]

Rod Serling and Michael Wilson wrote the screenplay, the original 1968 version, Planet Of The Apes.

[@rleary1]

@ExplorerDS6789 you're correct. I was thinking of some ad I saw years ago & thought they put his picture in there with Bogart & a bunch of others that died from smoking but I guess I was mistaken. But the term cardio-pulmonary does mean heart-lung and they are pretty related. Lastly, I have no problem with smoking. Just wish Rod wasn't gone so soon. I'm a big TwilightZone/NightGallery fan & have all of them.

[@ICLAIMTHISNAME]

Smell a flower? That's going to stop pollution? And I didn't see any real bloopers, but thanks for uploading.

[@rocketrodlover]

I just fucked up the whole reading!

[@vittoriostoraro]

@ChrisFrenchComedy What you are seeing has nothing to do with "Editing" ...It 's a Video "Chroma Key" using either a Blue or green screen.

[@racookster]

Ironic. Serling wrote "Requiem for a Heavyweight," which ended with Anthony Quinn as a once-great boxer humiliating himself by dancing around in an Indian costume in fake wrestling matches. And here is Serling doing... kinda the same thing. I'm still laughing out loud at, "...but then again, maybe we can't." :-D

[@torgman]

danny101682 : Why, because I explained to someone else what Rod meant by "Smell a flower"?

[@828EAB]

It was weird: I'm a Adam

[@DonnaBarrHerself]

The reason we've made any steps toward cleaning things up is people like this. As for you saying the Chinese are causing the problem today - there is a Chinese environmental movement, and a movement to regulate industry. They've discovered what unbridled Capitalism does to us. We're all in this together. Thanks, Rod.

[@PleasuresDudes]

Bellagio Road School

[@leariox9xxx]

@racookster at least this was for a good cause

[@thevoiceisbydon]

i'm kinda surprised serling would agree to doing something this cheesy. btw, i wonder what kind of gas mileage he gets with that bike. lol...

[@torgman]

I'm gonna guess that he did these PSA's for Ithaca College, where he taught. The production is painfully amateurish.

[@rleary1]

...Ride a bike...(er, don't smoke cigarettes etc.).. Rod Serling was brilliant but I believed he died from Lung Cancer from excessive smoking of nicotine so this ad is kind of ironic. One of the coolest talented dudes on the planet and was gone way too early.

[@soundmethod]

Man he is hauling ass !! '

[@danny101682]

my tree needs hugging. can you help me out?

[@torgman]

Still need clarifying?

[@torgman]

No, Rod was shorter and had more balls.

[@eskipper9943]

F-bomb happens at about 6:36

[@ExplorerDS6789]

@rleary1 He died of a heart attack

[@sojournersblues]

This is priceless... Is this from the early or mid seventies??? Serling's voice sounds a little haggard... Even his bloopers are smooth. But then I always liked him.

[@pegbars]

Why are they clappering a video?

[@daveparkinson1]

6:35

[@racookster]

@leariox9xxx True: a good cause, but ludicrously executed. Of course, that wasn't Serling's fault.

[@WerewolfMorgue]

What if he were smoking throughout this whole thing? Haha, nevermind . . .

[@RemusLupo]

@dicarlo57 you know..many people own guns and die by guns..but many people dont own guns and still die by guns......perhaps its not the gun that is dangerous..OH no wait im wrong.....just because ur right about ppl who dont smoke and get cancer doesnt mean cigarettes are not bad. And if someone cares enough about the human race to try and lengthen someones life or make them feel better in any way you should be thankful those people still exist.

[@helencheddar]

sooo ironic! Didn't he smoke like a chimney?

[@SnuffyWuffles]

Wow. It appears my comments have upset you. I just came here for a little friendly conversation, bub. Unless you're joking, relax!

[@DeanMartin64]

Christian Bale sound track needs to be inserted here ! Your amateur man ! Rod should have gone off !

[@MrApacha76]

dude love r.s. but the ironic thing is hes was doing a psa for pollution. yet everytime u saw him on tv he was polluting the air with a cig lol

[@crazyman7000]

boy they had problems with pollution back then look at now prolly worse

[@muse7746]

I can't believe Rod Serling agreed to appear in this terrible visual effects commercial.

[@Dane_Youssef]

This is just a taping. This isn't the final product--besides, FX get worse the farther back in time you go. This ad isn't about the special effects--it's about nature itself.

[@plentyotool8146]

6:36 LOL

[@ExplorerDS6789]

@septip123 He must have been drunk to agree to this project.

[@notvalidcharacters]

?? Where are the "bloopers"? All I see is a bunch of mis-takes of readings in front of a green screen. Do you know what a blooper is?

[@alhillx]

Was amazing how professional he was doing an awful gig for some hippy-ish 1970's environmental cause.

[@chuckv5150]

Incredibly boring..Thanks for nothing. lol
