Facebook Relationship Etiquette: Timmy And Alice Explain It All (VIDEO)

In this 50s Style news reel we meet Alice, an average teen (white, blond) who loves her beau Timmy until she discovers he downgraded them from "In a relationship" to "Single" on Facebook. She is not impressed and decides to seek revenge when she finds that he "friended" a buxom brunette in the middle of the night.

As their relationship falls apart online we learn the dos and do not dos of dating in the social networking world (aka the electronic friendship generator.)

Most of the rules in the video are sort of obvious (don't post pics of your boyfriend wearing your underwear for all to see), but the well-handled anachronisms make it worth a watch...also the part in which she calls him a Communist.

I loved the way she "plugged in" her camera. I wonder what interface standard tubes use.

Great video! I love all the little details - I actually paused the video at several points to check out the peripheral stuff, other entries, etc. Nice job and very funny!

This is wonderfully done!! Spot on!(As the British would say) I've already posted this on my Facebook page. LOL, OMG, LMAO :)
The iconic use of typewriter, TV set, camera to juxtapose the 50's to today was genius!!

My first thought when looking at the photo: That's Cindy McCain before God killed the dinosaurs (or ages ago).
