Thank you . These are great. I observed that in the middle 90s, as corporate radio and television grew more power with more distribution and grew more greedy, the frequency of Ad Council play greatly reduced to almost nothing. I ran many of them frequently while in local radio for a time.
The FCC has a rule that commercial radio and television stations have to run a certain amount of PSAs. The stations usually run these between midnight and 5 AM.

Two friends: Ok let's cheers! Bartender: Stop! *Drinking and Driving Can Kill A Friendship* Bartender: OMG! You've gotta pay for that. Also stay here for a while, we know you have a car. Friend 1: Yeah ok. :/ Friend 2: Here, have my $100,000. Bartender: You rich????
Stephen Baer there was another Lady Liberty 🗽 PSA with the Peanuts gang Lucy played Lady Liberty it’s here on TH-cam if you want to see it I hope you will reply to this
Who would've thunk the guy that beat the other guy wrestling for the captaincy position would turn out to be one of the greatest presidents in US history.
I remember the Michael Jackson one at 1:33 very well. It was of course part of the Nancy Reagan 'Just Say No' Parents Movement. But the use of the song "Beat It" was actually very apropos when considering the peer pressure that sometimes leads to drunk driving in this commercial and in real life.
Interesting watch. The tone of these are much more direct (drinking/diving) and attack topics that seem to be unacceptable in today's age, such as the worship PSA.
"The baby is crying. I got to go" is permanently scared in my brain. I say it sometimes out loud and nobody knows what I'm talking about. I finally looked it up and here it is.
Okay where is the commercial about drinking and driving that’s like a haunted house and they sing “stop, don’t drink and drive don’t drink and drive slow down.”?
*Kid:* _(after getting the joint pulled out of his grip and tossed away and seeing the guys he thought were his friends leave him behind)_ Hey, what is it with you guys? *Me:* If you use drugs, kid, then you’re definitely *not* going down the right path. You dig? *Kid:* Oh.. uh, yeah, I think so. But what’s with this “you dig” stuff, anyway? *Me:* It means “Are you hearing what I’m saying? Are you catching my drift?” It was heard during the 1960s.. OK? *Kid:* Oh, okay. *Me:* And by the way, if you offered me drugs, I would go all Clint Eastwood on you and tell you to take a hike, because if you got to die for something, kid.. a joint sure as heck ain’t it. _(The kid looks at me all surprised as I give him a cool smile before turning and walking away.)_ Personally, I like the kid who said “No, thanks” - as he knew what the right thing was, and he knew how to go after it as well. 🦅😎
I was scared of some of those psa's as child like smokey the bear, crash test dummies and those mcgruff the crime dog psa's now that i'm an adult those ads are so lame.
I remember ad council having in 1982 1983 1984 1985 and 1986 1987 keep the torch lit international youth exchange programme and international executive corps ad. I remember the second and third psa ads in a magazine print ad only. I was wondering if they ever aired on tv or not if they do I would like to find out about it and be able to pull those up on youtube please let me know if that can be done I would appreciate it very much.
I was wondering if the Ad Council has TV PSAs on International Youth Exchange Programme and International Executive Service Corps on TV in the 1980s. I Remember the slogan to International Youth Exchange Programme Ads. Presidents Council On Youth. I was wondering if these PSAs are on TH-cam and if there is please let me know so I can pull them up and watch them. Yours Truly, Robert Allen.
This only dawned upon me now, but I can only imagine how much potential damage those actors could have done to their hands with all the flying glass shards they created in this PSA...

These commercials should be aired so that the new generation can learn to be more responsible and have more respect towards others.
Not too many even watch live tv anymore. They would need a cross platform campaign
They were the best Ad Council classics in the 1980's.

My local radio station runs PSA's several times an hour, for topics like Al-Anon to child car safety and underage drinking.
Is this so!? I didn't realize what you described(until I read it just now)

B O O M !!!!!!
A blast from the past!
I remember the Advertising Council's original logo
from 1943-68, the famed crossed quill and sword.
I like that Red Cross "Bridge Over Troubled Water" ad.
I love the Lend a Hand PSA.
no one cares...
I like all of them
I still love this after 11 years 😍
I liked both the bridge over troubled waters as well as Lady Liberty's plea of" If you still believe in me then save me."

I remember the child abuse ad, like it was yesterday. Wow, last time I saw any of these PSAs was in the later 90's. We need to bring those back.
IKR

I remember that PSA like it was yesterday. It scared the hell out of me as a 10 year old. I even refused to listen to Beat It for a while!
They don't make PSA like this anymore!
VO: "If he worked for you today, would you give him time off to serve his country?" Me: Of course I would give him time off to serve my country.

"The baby is crying. I got to go" is permanently scared in my brain. I say it sometimes out loud and nobody knows what I'm talking about. I finally looked it up and here it is.
The one with the crashing glasses used to scare me when I was a kid.
I like the "bad days" ad at the 4:02 mark and the the "Just say no" one right after
Advertising Council Direct Deposit Ads remember it well
Oh, I remember that “keep the torch lit” psa. Was really excited about it getting restored
1:41
The kid in the car from the "Drinking and Driving Can Kill A Friendship" ad looks like Judd Nelson but I can't be sure that it is him.
I remember the first PSA is the smokey bear in 1984. I don't know how old I was and the other one is Lend A Hand too
And I really learned everything when I was little
And that hand didn't even spill any drinks. Class.
Thnx. Used to watch them, don't have them taped, not that I know of.
Argee they should put this Conmmercials back on tv so this generation can Learn something
I did see keep the torch lit on tv in those years and remember that being in a magazine print ad both.
Someone finally found "Lend a Hand"! It's the abbreviated version, but I'll take it! I would like to see the full version though.
Linda Hand... Linda Hand....
@brb1006 No, they definitely don't make PSAs like this anymore.
0:31 is my favorite
that's the same guy in the national guard psa that played abe lincoln in "North And South"
I love ad councils
Good, cause you pay for it
Me too. But you don't pay the advertisers, they pay you.
So do I brings back so many memories of my childhood years @k-Dudley
Okay where is the commercial about drinking and driving that’s like a haunted house and they sing “stop, don’t drink and drive don’t drink and drive slow down.”?
The skeleton one scared me to death as a kid, even though i only saw it once, it left a lasting impression on me.
I remember most of these '80's PSA's
@k Dudley so do I I'm fan of it as well I was never creeped out @ the ad council PSAS those r my favorite ones now
Right. That's why the only real hand shown in that one is the hand that stops the crash of the beer mugs.
The others are props.
Worship together Grow together PSA
*Kid:* _(after getting the joint pulled out of his grip and tossed away and seeing the guys he thought were his friends leave him behind)_ Hey, what is it with you guys?
*Me:* If you use drugs, kid, then you’re definitely *not* going down the right path. You dig?
*Kid:* Oh.. uh, yeah, I think so. But what’s with this “you dig” stuff, anyway?
*Me:* It means “Are you hearing what I’m saying? Are you catching my drift?” It was heard during the 1960s.. OK?
*Kid:* Oh, okay.
*Me:* And by the way, if you offered me drugs, I would go all Clint Eastwood on you and tell you to take a hike, because if you got to die for something, kid.. a joint sure as heck ain’t it. _(The kid looks at me all surprised as I give him a cool smile before turning and walking away.)_

I wasn't afraid of any of the Ad Council PSAs at all lol 😂
Me neither LMAO
Of course we would give our presidents time off to serve our country.
Love the Worship Together ad
Wouldn't the statue of liberty speak French?
Har har.
Well, it was gifted from France to America
4:21 the baby is old man 😳
I Did Create Some Ad Council PSAs of My Own Using Openoffice and Adobe Reader Including The One with the American Girl Fund and Several Others.
I am talking about international youth exchange programme and international executive corps psas.
Just say no was the best
Was that Louise Fletcher as the voice of the Sature of Liberty in the Keep The Toarch Lit PSA?
Might have been Susan Clark!
Yep, sure was
That guy who said "the new captain" in the National Guard PSA sounded a LOT like William Christopher from M*A*S*H

Love each other, as I have loved you.
Or don't, I'm not a cop.

bro got the whole chat laughing
This only dawned upon me now, but I can only imagine how much potential damage those actors could have done to their hands with all the flying glass shards they created in this PSA...
@solarsoul2012 - Probably not considering I wasn't recording all that much by then, sorry..
I remember the crashing glasses.
Me too

The child abuse ad is creepy.
