The fifties where full of wholesome good TV shows full of fun family values!
In this show we meet the Cleavers! They're a fun caring family who's last name is Cleaver and they named their second born son Beaver.
The show is so wholesome!
The Cleavers: Named after a tool you can use to kill people, butcher people! And their kid (Beaver) named after a sex organ.
It's so wholesome!
Excellent! Fun for the whole family!
So anyway, you gotta love how the writers would sneak in weird violent/sexual subliminal messages into the show! Corrupt the kids of America subliminally! Ha ha ha!
I'll check this out on youtube. :D
ReplyDeleteSeems cool.
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why would you even considering calling your son Beaver? I mean I get that they're called the Cleavers so it rhymes and it's funny and charming when he's a child but being stuck with that name must have been horrible for him. I love the premise of wholesome classic shows like this even though they're obviously severely outdated nowadays. Nice post as usual buddy.
ReplyDeleteI would love it if that is what the writers had in mind when they made this show. But yes Beaver Cleaver sounds ever so ever so wrong. Would make it pretty hard to pick up chicks too.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this, I might check it out if I find it on some online archives, sumbliminal messages of back then are always awesome to catch.
ReplyDeleteSexual subliminal messages? I watched Animaniacs for that.
ReplyDeleteWhat?........How????
ReplyDeleteBut their house doesn't have a toilet! Are they even human?
ReplyDeletethis show was brutal, but i remember watching it as a child, for some odd reason i liked the theme song
ReplyDeleteBeaver... Cleaver? That's messed up!
ReplyDeleteCorrupt subliminally you say? Why haven't I thought of this?
ReplyDeleteThey probably held orgies or something like that. The little kid probably grew up to be a super douche and the mother was an alcoholic who would sleep with the cameramen.
ReplyDeleteBeaver Cleaver Cleaver Beaver Beaver Beaver Cleaver Cleaver.

ReplyDeleteHeard the name before, I don't really know why though. It seems like a pretty wholesome, generic fifties show. Guess I didn't pick up on the innuendos!
ReplyDeleteSeems like a rude version of "under same roof", if I remember the name clearly :P
ReplyDeleteinnuendos everywhere
ReplyDeleteWhat about the blatant sexism? I'm pretty sure there was a lot of sexism in the show too.
ReplyDeletenever thought of it that way.
ReplyDeleteI briefly saw the made-for-TV movie featuring the Beaver as an adult. He made for an ugly adult. LOL.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post! First time I hear about this show.
ReplyDeletehahaha yeah those subliminal messages really messed up the youth, maybe that's why we are in such a state.
ReplyDeleteHis name is Beaver? At least they didn't name him Boner.
ReplyDeleteI used to LOOOOVE that show when I was little!! Of course at that age I thought that there were actually real life families like the Cleavers, and that if I was well-behaved enough, I might get adopted by one....
ReplyDeleteNever thought of it that way before. Lmao
