The real Modern day:

*We dont do that here*

I still remember the days I used to watch such clips with my father when I was 6 years old. Such a strong memory and will never be forgotten!

Isn't it just so wonderful that someone who was born almost 150 years ago and already died 44 years ago, still makes us laugh and happy. If he would know🙃

2:17 "its ok"
*machine goes ham*
"its not ok."
love how you can read their lips at times!

"a day without laughter is a day wasted" -charlie chaplin rip ✨✨❤💕

The arm that swings around and wipes his mouth is like a continuous punch-line! At the end when he's screaming in panic as it frantically smacks him in the face, comedic gold! Rotf!

[michaelmagill]

This is so dark lol. They basically tortured him for science XD

[pymvqvb]

Oh, so that's who started this stupid challenge with corn!

Charlie Chaplin made the whole world laugh with this particular scene regardless of what langauge you speak.

This was filmed in 1936, although Chaplin said he had the feeding machine idea floating around for years beforehand. For a “silent” film there is an overlooked point which is subconsciously brilliant. The use of sound. We hear the machine, its internal workings, even the subtle splash if soup in the bowl, but never any of the dialogue, some of which is clearly shouting. It never feels odd. The boss’ voice is only heard over the loudspeakers, never outside of his office. I think Chaplin was definitely gearing up for sound by planting all of these little seeds throughout the picture, culminating with his ingenious nonsense song near the end. Also, the editing is flawless throughout, a trait for which Chaplin seldom gets praise.

Am I the only one who feels... kind of uneased watching this? The idea of being strapped into this machine that is slowly going nuts is borderline scary for me.

[jamiesedgefield]

Chaplin was a true legend. No one to this day has made a scene like this.

[puiyahmar]

Legend says ''when Chaplin speaks, people can die of laughter.''

[LucidDreamer]

This machine was ahead of its time. This would make it easier for people to eat while using a computer.

[TheVaelon]

Saw this scene for the first time when I was 6-7 years old. Still fresh in my memory of how hard I laughed that day.

[AlimentariasPeru]

The fact that the technicians could not care less about him. The guy in the lab coat doesn't say a word but we can understand everything.

[kennethwilliams]

I laughed out loud watching this at home all by myself! Lucky he didnt lose some teeth eating that corn on the cob at 7000 rpm!😃

3:31 respect for doing that scene without choking and keeping in character .

1:50 That's some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. My wife had to check on me.
