Outhouse of Tomorrow

A joke about post-war pre-fabricated housing opens House of Tomorrow (1949). The hands of (presumably) narrator Frank Graham open a little package.



Cut to a wider shot.



“And there it is! Modern in every respect!”



Up pops an outhouse.



Jack Cosgriff and Rich Hogan helped Avery gag this one.

  1. I always enjoyed the " Car of...or House of..." Tomorrow series from MGM. The set ups and jokes were guranteed " groaners " for adults and kids alike.

  2. Had to explain the outhouse to the kids. They thoought it was supposed to be a fire hydrant.
