Here's another I haven't seen since at least 1975; but saw it a lot of times before that; and found it to be enjoyable and memorable:
A man (rather elderly) is walking down a busy street sidewalk and a voice says to him, "Excuse me sir, do you know what forwards means?" He says, "Forwards? Just... going forwards." The voice then says, "Okay, do you know what backwards means?" The man says, "Backwards? Listen, I'm a very busy man, I don't have time for this right now." Then the voice says, "Okay then I'll show you what backwards means."
Then the man watches as people and vehicles (including a fire engine) all start going backwards. I really liked the music throughout. After a little while of this, the voice then asks the man, "Now do you know what backwards means?" and the man proudly demonstrates by walking backwards. The voice then enthusiastically says, "Very good!" but when the man and everyone else continues to move backwards, he says "Okay you can all go forwards now... c'mon everyone go forwards... PLEASE go forwards!" But everyone's apparently having too much fun going backwards, and the segment ends that way.
