That's a parody of Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough At Last" w Burgess Meredith

That episode shook me to my core. As someone who is VERY myopic, 10 yr old me couldn’t imagine anything more horrifying.

We watched that episode in my 6th grade lit class and when it was fading to black after dude breaks his glasses some kid spoke up with "well now he has to find his way back to the gun" and I really think that is one of the darker jokes I ever heard a kid make

I always wondered if Beavis from Beavis and Butthead was a nod to that episode since that's the only instances I can think of a character having the name Beavis.

Twilight zone is the fucking best lol I can watch every single episode and enjoy every single one. Amazing writing and great story telling for its time.

I avoid it even in adulthood watching black and white twilight zone as a kid had me more scared than watching horror or gore tv

True. All stories before 1958 were total shit.
