Mind you, the 1950s also gave us a look at [how Reddit’s upvotes were originally manufactured](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHhnxJjJLRA).
“I’ll try to increase the Earth’s gravitational pull” finished me.
I’m disappointed Captain Proton didn’t show up
“Try to get him back to Earth. I’ll see if I can increase the Earth’s gravitational pull!”
I never knew I wanted a cosmic vibrator until now…
At least it’s not nanotech;)
I’m going to walk into a Star Wars convention and say to every applicable person I see, “Hey, that’s a nice cosmic vibrator!” I will now write my will
“What are you doing to me?”
“Trying to relax you via diathermic impulses.”
…. so Captain Video invented “Icy Hot?”
I want a cosmic vibrator.
At what point will we look back on episodes of “The Expanse” and similar sci-fi shows and feel the same cringe that these give us now?
Captain video has been knocked off the space platform
*banned from Twitter from posting hard-core bbw grindbus videos*
Wait so these guys have the ability to alter a cosmological constant of the universe? Or are they somehow manipulating the earth’s mass?
Yo mama so fat, she uses cosmic vibrator
This has all the comedic genius of a Mel Brooks movie, only Mel Brooks did it on purpose
“I’m merely relaxing you by means of diathermic impulses” is my new go to bedroom line.
What my wife hears while I explain the TV remote.

I loved every second of this video. I’m dying.
The futuristic binoculars at 38 seconds in are just two cowbells put together! Too funny!
Sounds like how they do it now, with adding “quantum” to everything lol
I can’t decide if everybody’s voices sounded the same in the 50s or if their microphones just did something to them.
“Cosmic vibrator”
Even Cthulhu gets down and dirty
Did people at that time speak with that accent/intonation or was it a tv only thing?
“I’ll see if I can increase the Earth’s gravitational pull”
Who does this guy think he is, Q?
Jesus. I’ve recently seen 3 other sci-fi shows from that time period, and they were exactly the same as this; the hero just had a different, but equally goofy, name.
Ace and Gary
We must use the cosmic vibrator!
and there it is kids,
the cosmic vibrator is what happened immediately before the big bang
Man lost in space, let me increase earth’s gravitational pull
Ok. Cosmic Vibrators aside, did that guy just say “I’ll see if I can increase the Earth’s Gravitational pull”?! Lmao!!!!
I think I see why Captain Video isn’t a particularly resonant cultural touchstone.
There were like 1500 or so episodes. This show ran from 1949-55 or so..
“I’ll try to increase Earth’s gravitational pull” killed me
I mean, is a cosmic vibrator really any worse (or better) than a sonic screwdriver?
The cosmic vibrator 😂😂😂
“What are you gonna do to me?😳”
“Merely relaxing you by means of diathermic impulses😈”
Use the cosmic vibrator!
They sure love the cosmic vibrator a lot.
Guy: What are you going to do to me?
​
Me: **pulls out the cosmic vibrator**
Increasing the Earth’s gravitational pull sounds pretty dangerous to me.
*”Use the cosmic vibrator!”* Words to live by.
Remember that time we had to increase the Earth’s gravitational pull? Crazy times.
