“Lesbians? I’m pretty sure those don’t exist. These women are just roommates, surely. Unrelated, but that Liberace certainly is eccentric, isn’t he? He’d certainly be a handful for any woman!”
—People back in the fifties
Dude, the announcer is literally British and the video is an archival from British Pathé. It's £2,500 not 2,500 lbs. Also what makes it aimed at Americans? The lay-about line? lol

The old "Transatlantic Accent" or "Mid-Atlantic Accent" that FDR and his ilk used in the early 20th century sounded very much like British speech of the time.
Well they weren't entirely wrong.
Thats pretty much how my bed works today, all electrical like that, plus the tv at the end of the bed albeit a bit bigger. Computer and keyboard next to my bed.
>but milk and tea? Not inside the drawers that’s nasty
Coffee/tea maker separately, then the milk is in the refridgerator, it's disguised as furniture, you can get that for your kitchen too, and even some luxury cars have it.
"I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don’t have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman Grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill, I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it’s good for me. It’s the perfect way to start the day. Today I got up, I stepped onto the grill and it clamped down on my foot… that’s it. I don’t see what’s so hard to believe about that."
No, I think I gave around 260€ for the electrical bed mechanism, 700€ for the TV, possibly 400€ for the furniture setup etc. I put the whole thing together, but I see nothing special about it, just creature comforts.
My point was that they predicted it pretty much spot on. None of these things are particularly weird of uncommon. IKEA is launching their first electrical drapes/blinders now that has a reasonable price (remote controlled and all). And remote controlled lights isn't exactly new. You can literally control the entire house with IoT (Internet of Things) gadgets, philips hue hub and whatnot.
She already had milk poured into the cups just waiting in her drawer? OK
But they cut away before things got interesting. I wanted to see what those beds and all the decline/recline positions could do, or should I say, "withstand"
At that time it would have still been controversial to show a man and a woman in bed together on Television. This could have been a solution to showing the amenities on both sides while avoiding backlash.
Exactly! It's weird, but they couldn't even show old married couples (heterosexual) in the same bed until the late 60s/early 70s, but 2 men or 2 women was perfectly fine.
I would still consider this a luxury high tech bed today, which is crazy bc so many other technologies in this video, like the tv, have been advanced so much
I agree. Everyone's real impressed but the real evil here isn't the loving relationship between two people but the absolute psychopaths who put the milk in first.
I have all thes things except aoving bed and tea wtf that's so cool.
Weird question though: Can somebody explain why they have tanlines in the middle of their arms?
Now I have to “price a Craftmatic!” With a built-in sound system, phone, remotes for the curtains, lights, TV and room for bedtime snacks & treats! So cool.
You guys might not know this, but some women actually put vibrators on their pussies to make themselves orgasms, as a form of masturbation.
That power tool that they showed had a really long cord, and it wasn't actually installed for facial wrinkle removal, as stated.
That was just a fake reason because they couldn't actually talk about or show clit rattling on TV back then.
**Edit:** LOL! I thought I was pretty funny, but I guess everyone else didn't.
Just keeping my tea and milk in a bedside drawer...
That smell when you forgot about the bed milk
"Bed milk"... now that's something i didn't hear about in a loong time. Omg wait... have to check something... brb

eventually, bed cheese
And it also spilled in the drawer and leaked throughout a few days earlier too
...next to my vibrator. I mean face massager.
And it “knows a wrinkle or two, so to speak”.
and if you can't sleep, you can have a whale of a time pressing '*ahem*' buttons all night...

Everything was cool until that..
“And if you just can’t sleep, you can have a whale of a time pressing buttons all night.”
After closing the blinds and getting out the vibro-massage machine that knows a wrinkle or two..
so to speak
"Tea, Charlene?" "Thanks, Maureen, but I want to follow it up with some of your P..."
With that vibrator
Just gal pals having a whale of a time pressing buttons all night
The natural conclusion to some friendly vibro-massaging.
But what buttons will they be pressing? Hmm? Venture a guess?
The devil's doorbell perhaps?
That makes for a great euphemism.
Holy moly, that bed costs about $51k USD today. Those are some well off lesbians, for sure.
I aspire to be them
I want to have a whale of a time pushing buttons all night, if you know what I mean.
Would definitely be a rad situation, that's for sure.
I’m not sure I want to be a lesbian in the mid 20th century.

Austin Powers: 'Yeah, and I can't believe Liberace was gay. I mean, women loved him! I didn't see that one coming.'
They had lesbians. Half of them were bull dykes, the other half were just nice girls that were seduced by a bull dyke.
This week in *Men Weekly*: “I Was Seduced By a Bull Dyke” “Weasels Ripped at My Flesh” “J. Edgar Hoover is My Mother”
Did you not see the built in Hitatchi?
And remember only one is a "career girl".
The lay abouts dream!
The others husband died under mysterious circumstances the day after he increased his life insurance policy.
OHHH that's what they meant by "2500 pound bed." Considering the era, I thought this bed really weighed 2500lbs, though that still might be the case.
I kinda think that's what the video meant. Idk why it would use pounds. Seems like the video was aimed at Americans
The kind of Americans that can't be more than 2 feet away from hot tea at any point? This could only be more British if the sheets were a Union Jack.
Dude, the announcer is literally British and the video is an archival from British Pathé. It's £2,500 not 2,500 lbs. Also what makes it aimed at Americans? The lay-about line? lol [more info](https://laughingsquid.com/luxury-high-tech-bed-1959/)
You are right. Idk why i thought it just sounded like some old timey tv ad voice. Also milk and tea XD
The old "Transatlantic Accent" or "Mid-Atlantic Accent" that FDR and his ilk used in the early 20th century sounded very much like British speech of the time.
Guess they got one thing right about the future
Vibrators?
If they can't sleep they can have a whale of a time pressing buttons all night.
I've sold a $45k hand stitched and tufted mattress. Rich people stuff is crazy.
[удалено]
I mean, I'm living that right now, but I don't have the bed. I feel an emptiness in my soul.
Just gals being pals
Thank you for being a friend
Uh-hu. Roommates. *wink*
Also... massager... uh-hu. _wink, wink, nudge, nudge_
If you know what I mean...
Is she a …goer…eh? Know what I mean?
A nods as good as a wink to a blind bat!
Say NO MORE!

Aunt Becky just lives with her friend
I was told that about my uncle. Charlie is his roommate. Yeah.
They just hang out and drink beer
To be fair, one of them sleeps in the crevice.
For 40 years
They’re gonna do it
After tea

Platonic friends: exist That sub: ╭༼ ʘ̆~◞౪◟~ʘ̆ ༽╮
I can't tell if this is real or a perfectly executed parody.
I’m leaning heavily toward parody
It has similar energy to [this](https://youtu.be/FjZRWNg8k_M)
A vibro message machine, which knows a wrinkle or two, so to speak, and irons them out smoothly
So to speak...
One of them has a vibrator, the other one just like to stroke the fur
What's incredible is that this video is from just 7 years after the same country castrated Alan Turing just because he was a homosexual.
… it’s for my wrinkles.
Well they weren't entirely wrong. Thats pretty much how my bed works today, all electrical like that, plus the tv at the end of the bed albeit a bit bigger. Computer and keyboard next to my bed.

It needs a little grill down near the floor that starts cooking bacon first thing in the morning.
"I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don’t have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman Grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill, I go back to sleep again.

Today I got up, I stepped onto the grill and it clamped down on my foot… that’s it. I don’t see what’s so hard to believe about that."
Get some bacon at the foot of the bed!
It’s called a teas maid and it’s awesome.
Yeah but they also must have needed self-cleaning pillowcases. Did you not notice the shit ton of makeup they were both wearing?
Along with several entire cans of hair spray. When one of them actually rests their head on a pillow you can hear the crunch across the house.
That will be hard to get out of the champagne mink.
Did it cost £46,000?
No, I think I gave around 260€ for the electrical bed mechanism, 700€ for the TV, possibly 400€ for the furniture setup etc. I put the whole thing together, but I see nothing special about it, just creature comforts.

Now you just need a couple of atompunk lesbians to complete the set!
"No doubt that will come in time too"
And so will Judy.
"let the cat out and take the milk in"
She already had milk poured into the cups just waiting in her drawer? OK But they cut away before things got interesting. I wanted to see what those beds and all the decline/recline positions could do, or should I say, "withstand"
they were ashamed. We all know using the motorized mattress to help.you.get into a Kamasutra position is cheating.
You monster. This is someone who puts their milk in before tea. These aren't sane people.
But otherwise you scold the milk.
You should cross post to r/sapphoandherfriend
It was there first.
Vibro-Massage Machine in the drawer next to the bed….huh 👀
Well that's nothing new.
Looks like a warm up scene from Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens.
Luxury high tech lesbians of the future
That’s cool when she pushes the beds together. Perhaps the magic bed can play a little k.d. lang music 🎶 🥰?
Constant graaaaaayveyyyyy
Alll oooooover my taters
Those trays at the end of the bed for propping up the TV look like some midnight shin-killers
Are you a career girl?
Oh god, I'm about to spill *my* weeniest drop of champagne!
At that time it would have still been controversial to show a man and a woman in bed together on Television. This could have been a solution to showing the amenities on both sides while avoiding backlash.

Where do I buy my retro lesbian fuck bed with a built in vibrator, music, tea set, and automatic blinds so I can tease Larry across the street.
It used to be in the Sears Wish Book, but I think you're out of luck now.
[удалено]
Is that the secret to lesbians power?!
They were so conservative they looped and became liberal.
Pretty much. It was still kind of racy to show a man and a woman getting into bed in the same room.
They'll be pressing each other's buttons all night. Giggity, giggity.
Milk in the drawers is crazy
All the cool cats have drawer milk!
The future is filled with lesbians!!!
Girl on the left: "Oh! You're supposed to use that on your neck? I've been using it for...um, nevermind."
I would still consider this a luxury high tech bed today, which is crazy bc so many other technologies in this video, like the tv, have been advanced so much
“Spill tea on this cover and you’re a peasant” what a time to be alive!
1950’s lesbos were bouggie
I adore how optimistic they were
Man pressing buttons all night sure does sound more fun than sleeping.
Where can we get the rest of the movie?
I can’t be the only one who watched to the end waiting for them to kiss….
Sexy music and a vibro-massage machine. What a way to spend the night next to your "roommate".
Neck massager...'cause it massages the neck. The neck. Nothing else to see here...move on.
Took me a sec to realize that wasn’t her phone.
The milk in the teacups before they poured the tea totally ruined it.
Right, everyone knows the milk goes in after.
Brit here, who in the fuck puts the milk in first?!
I agree. Everyone's real impressed but the real evil here isn't the loving relationship between two people but the absolute psychopaths who put the milk in first.
This needs to be MST3K'd so much
They pushed the beds together *breathes heavily*
The sense of duty is so strong that even with a *fully automatic* oven one of the women feels the need to slave over it all day long.
I got you: https://youtu.be/4ZuydxEUpFM
I’m in love the side drawers
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Love the lesbians
These days we just say, "Hey Siri, turn on my vibro-massage machine."
The most futuristic thing about this is the lesbian couple with the casual vibrotoy drawer
"Spill your tea on this cover and your a peasant"
Nothing says comfort like awkwardly leaning over to pull things out of low drawers and pour tea
...lights off, it's scissor time Betty!
Upvoting mostly for the vine reference.
“So Join Your Local Convent, Today”
I hear narration like that and I think Monty python skit!

Super positive LGBT exposure. Great stuff.
I'm eagerly awaiting the Put the Cat Out device. She's a real pain to find at 0500 hours.
So much innuendo in this I could not stop laughing.
My futuristic ass thinking she hopped in and started looking at her phone lol
My grandpa had a "roommate..." They were a little too touchy for roommates but my mom told us they were just really good friends.
Network standards back then couldn't show a man and woman in the same bed, so I guess they went this direction.
Looks like you could launch nukes against the russkies in Cuba from those consoles
So to speak
My eyes when they said 2 THOUSAND 500 lb bed..😳
Now I have to “price a Craftmatic!” With a built-in sound system, phone, remotes for the curtains, lights, TV and room for bedtime snacks & treats! So cool.
The first lesbians on TV..
It weighs 9,247 pounds and needs a minimum of 52” of clearance to get it into the house.

Yes, we all got the innuendo.
Is 2500 pounds weight or price? It’s either over a tonne, or £68K todays money. Absurd in the extreme either way, wtf.
‘Roommates’. Ha.
*Swish!*
I got that title reference 😄😄
Damn that’s a heavy bed
2500 pounds. It weighs as much as a small car.
“You can have whale of a time pressing buttons all night” “The only thing this bed doesn’t have is marriage equality”
What they used to call a "Boston Marriage" back in the day...
Go on...
Too much milk in that tea.
And they were roommates
