If any of you have ever had the pleasure of watching Mystery Science Theater 3000, then you've been witness to some of the best commentary on television. The show themed around a janitor (Joel) who was cast aboard a spaceship by two scientists. To cure his boredom, he created robots with whom he watched mostly old B-rated scifi movies and made fun of those movies. The commentary frequently discussed (that not only were the people in the movies idiots) the social inequalities rampant in the movies. Often, they critiqued old instructional videos from the 1950s and its appallingly clear that in those times the men were the center of the family and society. Take a look at this clip and see how far we've come (and how awesome this show was!):

Notice the fact that the women are the only people who prepare for dinner- didn't the daughter have homework to do?! Anyways, I suggest you look at a few more clips and enjoy! Flippin' hysterical.
