The Procrastinator (1952)

When Jean becomes chairman of the social committee, she habitually fails to plan and use time wisely in carrying out her responsibilities. When she is unable to get everything together in time for the school dance, her schoolmates are justifiably upset with her. Filmed with a cast of nonprofessionals in Lawrence, Kansas.
Producer: Centron Productions

[@patrickfitzmichael5940]

[@loisgriffin190]

Patrick Fitzmichael I was going to reply to this comment 1 year ago!!

[@heidifedor]

This film's inspired me, tomorrow I will stop procrastinating.

[@johnnyjohn5751]

Did you stop procrastinating?

[@Pablo123456x]

Ok, just one more video about procrastination and i´ll go back to my thesis.Ok, maybe two.

[@danforth5130]

Jean's problem is the story of my life.

[@laurajones8943]

If only Jean had Amazon prime....

[@xXInfinityDiesXx]

"You fiddle-faddled your time away" LMAO

[@Jilli8310]

xXInfinityDiesXx My Gramma says that kinda stuff!!! Hahaha!!

[@0ctobergirl]

Jim is having none of Jean's shit...

[@Phaedragon]

AND ANOTHER THING....!!!

[@dimkavidimka5917]

It's February 3, 2014 and I procrastinated all day instead of doing homework for tomorrow.

[@anonymoushuman8443]

I’m putting this on my Watch Later playlist

[@AmyCCloverlanez]

lol i love these !!!! thanks for posting them!

[@soratsukino8781]

As a matter of fact, I'm procrastinating right now :p

[@mikepeterson764]

Jim strikes me as the kind of guy who gets punched a lot.

[@NaturalElicia]

+OpiatedBliss lol he is just an ol Soul that Jim

[@snakes3425]

Hey Jim don't you think you should start decorating? Also what were you thinking when you decided to keep wearing that hideous shirt?

[@thegluebox4518]

This video was recommended for me. Is KZbin trying to tell me something?

[@yosemite2405]

I am supposed to be looking for a job, but I keep putting it off.

[@sara-zy3vh]

good

[@babyhilts]

Who the hell cut poor Marge's bangs?

[@BeauSC4Ever]

babyhilts RIGHT!!!

[@pearl8661]

Short or "baby" bangs were the style in the 50's.

[@psychgirl07]

The way she rapidly changes attention and focus and chains of thought, she may be ADHD instead of just a procrastinator.

[@shananagans5]

I see the error of my ways now. I am going to quit putting things off, starting tomorrow.

[@DanielLiebert-i1p]

I've watched almost every damned educational film there is but never got around to this.

[@joey22306]

I can't stop procr..

[@Melissa0774]

The guy at 3:20 is like a real life Stinky from Hey Arnold.

[@lajmh]

Procrastination is one of my big pet peeves-it drives me NUTS when people put important things off. If I was Jeanne, I would've started getting ready for the party the next day.

[@nickmad887]

thank you

[@mattlyonn9716]

I was going to watch this but decided to wait till laterp

[@johnbrady1211]

I have not yet begun to procrastinate...

[@josephmackela8466]

I might stop procrastinating next week.

[@jackmurray2446]

There IS no tomorrow!

[@Jilli8310]

Jack Murray You are right, tomorrow never comes, it's always "today"!

[@pearl8661]

"Whaddaya want, mom?!" If I spoke to my mom like that, there would be hell to pay. And I'm a child of the 80's.

[@jacktheripoff1888]

I keep saying today is the day I stop procrastinating, and for reasons I don't understand I just keep putting it off.

[@RadTac]

7:30 *Teleports behind you "Nothing personal, Mom"

[@Jilli8310]

Not only is Jean a serious Procrastinator, she must suffer from ADD too, notice her constant shift of attention from one subject to another. After growing up in a household with a father who is a serious Procrastinator, I go out of my way not to do it. I get things done immediately if not sooner! I also prefer to associate with people who are the go-getter type. My dad was/is really bad with it even to this day he has not changed and it is so hard to believe he is retired military, I can't stand it! He should watch this!

[@snakes3425]

As someone who has ADHD, yes it's not fun, your mind is always running at a thousand miles a minute to the point where you become completely scatterbrained, and it's real easy to simply tune out suggestions, get distracted, forget something, and not remember it until the last minute. I've had it happen a lot over my life: getting distracted by something, forgetting assignments and important dates

[@thwb4661]

some things never change

[@patrickfitzmichael5940]

Jean could have done well with an Iphone and facebook.

[@masterbondofox8982]

Patrick Fitzmichael You're right. It's too bad they put off inventing those.

[@heidifedor]

I want to work where Martha Hilliard's Mother works. I want a job where you can take off from work just to bake cookies. Also why wasn't it Martha's responsibility instead of her mother's?

[@snakes3425]

Her mother is probably a self-employed caterer, or owns a small bakery and she had to cancel a delivery or close her store to bake cookies because of Jean

[@tonyf.8858]

In the title it says the year "1952" but if you look closely at the calendar at the 3:38 mark you can see April 1953. Just an observation.

[@emmao109]

jim looks like greg from the brady bunch before he became greg

[@prokkle]

These kids act like they're 83 - 'let's appoint a committee', 'I'd like to shop for the crepe paper myself'. Where's my zimmer frame?

[@bennyboiart7781]

prokkle That’s probably because kids back then are the 83 year olds now 😄

[@snakes3425]

Okay how many of us have actually done this: Put something off to the last minute, oh let's face we've all done it: life gets in the way, or you simply forgot and remembered at the last minute. Happened to me in college a lot, I forgot about a history report until the day before it was due, and spent all night trying to get it done

[@ioanabuia165]

*screaming in the distance* Daniel Howell

[@8484terry]

Jim came unglued at the end.

[@talkindurinthemovie]

OMG! im doing that now!!!

[@HeresToPhilipWylie]

Something tells me that Jim had a lot of pent-up rage already, and Jean was just a convenient target to release it on.

[@letres3827]

I feel personally attacked

[@bennyboiart7781]

Was the person on the far right at 4:06 a cross dressing guy? 😏

[@Cbfm12]

And that was Jean before the internet...

[@LMason-qd7sq]

When would these videos have been shown?

[@WickedGenXer]

Pause at 3:56...the "person" that says "See?" Is that a BOY in a dress?????

[@elisabethnewall5591]

This is me

[@Honeymellan]

Man Jean has ADHD so bad .....she would have been put on meds immediately dam

[@tmlinmi]

Is Jean ', Patty Duke?

[@LauraIsPink]

7:32 wow magic!

[@tangbein]

3:18 Mkay.

[@Phaedragon]

I'm an awful procrastinator for myself.

[@josephmackela8466]

Get it done during class? Never works.

[@talkindurinthemovie]

[@jeffpolaras9273]

Wish kids would turn off those radios and act like they are among the living..

[@ElegetEttem]

I want to blaze to this!

[@JONABONA]

Lol 7:31 I guess the editor didn't have much to work with in that scene

[@JoshSitar]

Everyone was horrible at delivering their dialogue.

[@cheapthrilll6323]

Well if they wouldnt have put off learning their lines, they would have been more prepared.

[@josephmackela8466]

I might make a comment on this.

[@talkindurinthemovie]

7:30 scary ghost jump

[@chrishughes4239]

wait a minute

[@tmlinmi]

Jim should put Jean over his knee.

[@bellamasri3683]

Most PROCRASTINATORS watch PROCRASTINATION Vids... only to end up still PROCRASTINATING!!!🕖 😔🕘😕🕙😤🕦😩🙈🛌 😠 Ill do it tomorrow.

[@meghan151993]

As a matter of fact I did!

[@prokkle]

Why do all these Centron films focus on young women? So young men were perfect, were they?

[@kelleygaither6280]

geezI thought *i* have a an accent!

[@NP4Mayans]

I don't like the design of the American Eagle at the very start. It doesn't look very American. Maybe Sen. McCarthy put it there??

[@ReyBanYAHUAH]

Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂

[@barkingtree88]
