Oh nice, I came here quite early, as always, don't forget to praise our lord and savior Gearisko
So your parents are rich? Since they got an assistent to take care of you? That is super weird
Huh?@@spidermanspidertheman3650
hmmm
@@DecayedAurea watch the video and listen to what he says
alternative ending:
the sheep actually lied about their age and has a job to hunt predators on the internet, the sheep goes to the house but calls the police
“Welcome to my house”
“I’m told about people like you”
Gunshots erupt in the distance
WELCOME TO HOW TO FIND A PEDO.
A sheep thats a midget
To find a wolf
"To catch a literal predator"
Call me f*cked up but the basketball one is weirdly heartwarming, like in the way that the guy’s friends support him and cheer him on even if he doesn’t have hands.
Plus even without hands he's still ballin
İt made me smile and cry at the same time.
it’s pretty wholesome
It’s a bittersweet ending
@@themanbehindthebruhmoment502 right that was such a good shot
Addressing that last PSA, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: video games do NOT cause violence. Violent behavior, more often than not, is caused by an underlying issue that existed before the exposure to video games. While violent video games can sometimes inspire violent behavior, most people are able to separate the digital world from the real one, unless, again, there’s something off with the person’s mentality. It’s unfortunate that there’s still people out there today that don’t recognize this.
Those who don't like video games will always use them as a scapegoat as an easy answer to society's problems
I've played my fair share of violent games and watched insane amounts of violent films, but I've never even hurt anyone
As I heard from someone before (can't remember who), "Video games (and Horror Movies but that's not relevant) don't make killers, they make killers more creative."
No, videogames are violent,where has common sense come to?
@@cubebutpro298the comment never said video games weren't violent
but videogames aren't inherently the cause of actual violent crimes.
@cubebutpro298 Uhh... That's what he said... He said the problem lays in mental health prior.
Drowning in a viscous, thick sludge like waste is such a haunting way to go, especially for a child. Atleast with regular drowning you can see around you. Can’t wait to see a video on it if you do go through with “Apache”!
Nothing like getting insight from the local eldritch horror! Hi shmooify!
drowing in slurry pits would of been a horrific way to go im irish and i grew up partly in the inner city and partly in the country and i remember being so shocked when id come down from the city to hear that even the fumes off slurry could kill you i knew a little boy whod died from just the fumes of the slurry its really horrifc
@@mousyxx900Or hilarious
Even worse if it’s shit. Imagine drowning in cow pats.
i heard this story about this chinese? iirc industrial worker that was working in this place that pumped out this compound of fluids filled into giant pools and he fell in since he used some shitty temu boots without a slip rating and the pools of water were so dense he literally couldn’t get out
Some of the fireworks ones are just unnecessarily rude with disabled and scarred people. Imagine just being a dude that was born with no hands or with a nasty scar, and the TV is telling you "EVERYONE WILL LAUGH AT YOU, YOU WILL GET NO GIRLS, AND YOU CAN'T PLAY VIDEOGAMES LOL".
Yeah its a good message presented the worst way possible. like yes teach people to do stuff to avoid injury, but your literally teaching kids to hate disabled people and make assumptions of them and give a negative moral judgement to people who have or presumably been through a traumatic incident! You could so easily present how using fireworks could make you lose figures without mocking or looking down and teaching hatred to those who have because "its funny and okay to mock injured people cuse they where stupid" will just end up being the message kids get.
like it remind me how in the movie adaptation of witches' they gave the witches three fingers and people with hand deformities said they had instances of kids after seeing the movie be scared of them thinking they are a witch.
@@seisogaijin3749well who cares they'll learn soon rnough
@@troy1677 but what if they don't? kids should be taught early regardless
That’s exactly what I thought some of those people could of been injured by somebody else and were called out for being a ass
Yeah thought so too
The Netherlands really hates fireworks don’t they
Quite the opposite, but the problem is kids get the heavy sometimes illegal fireworks and try to make bigger explosions breaking them up and using the gunpowder inside with out any safety precautions
After newyears at least one teacher always asks if we lost fingers
And calling people an ass...wtf was that male model one 😂
No, grumpy old Dutch people hate fireworks. The rest of us enjoy it responsibly.
as a Dutch teen
those assholes banned it 😭
The firework PSAs seem more like mocking than warning
Yeah. Imagine being born with no hands and a kid who saw the PSA was like “Look! This person messed with fireworks!” The kid doesn’t know any better but it would probably hurt a lot.
@@leftleglegBeing born without hands isn't very often and it's different than having your hands blown up by a small bomb. I don't care if someone gets butthurt about it; if it teaches a kid not to fuck around with fireworks than it's doing its job.
@@sokayconnor It’s still possible, but i get your point.
@@sokayconnorbro what
@@EatKittii Read it again.
The game in 14:40 is "Driver" released in 1999. It's pretty hard to play even for a person with 10 fingers.
Also, I'm amazed at how many Dutch PSAs about firework safety there are. Whoever made them is a very creative and menacing person.
was about to comment this but looked if anyone else said it, i hope he sees your comment
@@Galactic500 I hope he sees it too
Yup, we dutchies take our firework safety very seriously, at least the government wants us to do so.
Recent years the discussion has started going round of banning fireworks altogether in the country because of all the damage it causes each year
I thought it was gta lol
@@Dogeton12342 The first 3D GTA doesn't look that bad. And it wasn't released on the ps1
I really like how the first video takes a interesting spin on the concept of predators online, with a literal wolf wearing a sheep mask as he preys on a naive young sheep online by acting like he is a young sheep himself around the same age as his victim. Also, yeah I agree that the four sheep masks hanging on the wall maybe represents how the wolf most have preyed on four or three other young sheep. Like I said I find it interesting especially how the predator and the victims are shown as a wolf and multiple sheep.
That’s why he puts another mask on the end that’s Lilia the victim
yeah that was pretty rough to watch, kinda made my stomach hurt lowkey
@@epicsponge7934 I think it's symbolism for taking her innocence or something. What do you think about it?
@@mars_ramsey I guess. because the heads have wool on them, its safe to assume the rest doesn’t and so that’s what the predator might have done, literally taking off their wool and therefore their innocence
As much as I love the messages of the fireworks ones half of them feel like “you’re a loser if you’re handicapped” whether or not it’s from foolish behavior with fireworks. Kinda puts a bad taste in my mouth.
Glad i'm not the only one who felt that way
yeahhh, it rubbed me weird
Yea it’s just insensitive a lot of the time
11:28 This really hit close to home for me. My dad was setting up a box of fireworks for New Year's a couple years back, and we didn't know how to open it. So Dad thought it would be a good idea to set the whole box on fire. When it inevitably exploded, the initial blast didn't hurt him, but it *did* cause him to stumble back, striking his face on a nearby fence. He was rushed to the hospital by my mom, and to this day you can still see the scars of the stitches in his forehead 😔
Luckily, he's still alive and well. My dad won't go down without a fight, that's for sure! 😅
This is why women live longer than men.
He hit his face on a face or am I reading that wrong
what a cool dad
he said face on a face, i read it like that too
What an idiot. Like, what did he expect to happen?
I distinctly remember seeing a seat belt PSA about a brother and sister who get into a car crash. With how it was shot I thought it was a T.V. movie, until it showed the crash and the aftermath. When the paramedics arrive they announce that there has been only one fatality. The brother frantically asks why she died when she was wearing her seatbelt, only to be told that her death was caused by him not wearing his.
I also remember that the ASPCA would have commercials airing a lot on cartoon channels, I knew a girl from daycare who had to leave the room when they came on otherwise she'd start crying because on occasion the animals looked a lot like her own.
Try watching the seatbelt advert for the UK, it sounds very similar to that.
It’s called Julie knew her killer
@@charliejones7512It's not Juile knew her killer. It was one with just the brother and sister in the driver's and passengers seat. But thank you, I'll keep looking.
Me too
I was that kid in daycare lmao
For me, the PSA that always immediately comes to my mind as an 80's kid was:
This is your brain:
🥚
This is your brain on drugs:
🍳
Any questions?
Mmm fried Brain
Omg I remember that oone...it always confused me sm
Is it on TH-cam?
I mean it’s pretty direct that’s for sure
Delicious
my high school agriculture teacher played Apaches for the class. then he told us about a boy he worked with on a farm that was pinned and killed by a tractor. industrial accidents are really scary, and PSAs about them can be brutal.
My dads friend lost an arm in an industrial accident
There was a guy near where I live my dad was also at the crime scene a guy tripped and while mowing the lawn the lawn mower ran over him and when they found him you could barley tell he was human his body was so mutilated from the lawn mower
The lessons from my neighborhood are not creepy.. just heartbreaking. My heart aches for children who go through this
Yeah... They said it themselves: No child should have to learn these lessons. :(
As someone living under the poverty line, the hunger PSA really hit close to home.😢
I hope things have improved for you friend
Over the years, I've come to realize something about PSAs. Their success is directly tied to how they engage or treat their audience.
For instance, "Vuurwerk" fails spectacularly by never actual addressing proper firework handling while at the same time mocking victims who, for all they know, weren't playing around.
Similarly, Biggie Bear fails because its a PSA about watching what content your kids see... that hypocritical shows off all the content parents don't want their kids to see.
And with Amok I honestly don't have to explain that this is not a PSA... Its a noxious smokescreen.
They're so focused on their precious shock value, they forget how to actually connect with their audience 😭 Most of the time, they're the horror equivalent of "how do you do, fellow kids" if not downright inaccurate or insensitive.
And speaking from my own experience, overdramatization and shame do not necessarily mean your audience will be scared - they're gonna stop taking you seriously lol
The Dutch fireworks were mad cringe 💀💀 They're so bad lmao
yeah i didnt like how they mocked firework accident victims when most of them didnt do it on purpose
It depends on what the goal is though. A PSA is essentially a message sent to the public to raise awareness or change behaviour. If their purpose is to prevent people from playing with fireworks ever again, then it's not exactly a fail. By scaring people with the negative impact one can have after playing with fireworks, people watching it would be scared to touch one now. They don't need to show how to handle fireworks properly if their goal is for people to stop playing fireworks.
Though I also don't like how it only seemed like they're mocking the victims.
With Biggie Bear though, obviously their target audience is the parents, not the children. Perhaps it only aired on adult-only channels too for all you know. This PSA was made to raise awareness for parents to watch what their children are watching, that doesn't mean the PSA itself is for children to watch.
I have never realy looked at it that way. They did work for me as a child because the PSA s that SIRE made were paired with mandatory fire work safety lessons in schools so it did get the point actress but it does give of the vibe 'haha you are disabled because you were being stupid. Eigen schult dikke bult'
My sister works as a nurse in the ER of a children’s hospital and the 4th of July is always something she does not look forward to, really tiny kids who’s lives are permanently altered due to fireworks
I've never seen the appeal to fireworks even when I was a kid
With me it was just a thing about it being loud and stuff? It's strange
It's time we change culture around fireworks. There should only be like public ones that can then get very impressive and controlled by professionals. Instead of small ones let off by people in their neighborhoods.
I hate fireworks so much, I've had terrible experiences with them, first when some stupid group of teens decided it would be so cool to light up a firework on the streets and was like two houses down from where we live and i was standingright outside on the lawn when this happened. Then a second time was when another group set off a flare right near our home and started falling down towards my dad's truck with litres of petrol in the tanks, and so many other times. They always set fireworks off so close to our home that evertime it's near that time of year, instant fear shakes me, I can't relax during new years eve, what if the next time they fire em again it hits our house? I hate how lightly my country takes letting off fireworks in neighbourhood, I believe they should only fireworks at events where there is professionals.
@@TheArtisticLizard I agree with you completely, I don’t think anyone should be allowed to have these little rockets w gunpowder and such inside of them without a licensed
its always so fucking insensitive when people blame videogames as a concept for mass shootings.
bc videogames is a medium, its broad and vast, most of them have nothing to do with gun violence or violence at all.
Tetris, Animal Crossing, and Bluey The Game are NOT going to turn you into the next columbine vteck sandy hook robb uvalde
saying so is just a scapegoat made up by people who dont think mental health is real.
MINCRAFT IS VIOLENC IT VONTAINSV ANIMAL FRULETY ARSIN AND TERORISM GO WATCHH BLEUEY INSTED
Exactly! People do anything but blame the neglectful parents, school administrations, police, etc. Shift the blame, shift the consequences, I guess.
And a lot of the violent games like DOOM help you release your anger safely
Tetris is t going to tip anyone over the edge, but violent video games DO have a small effect on violence irl. There was one study where kids were assigned to 1 of 2 groups: one to play a more violent video game versus a non-violent one. They then went out to play as a large group. The kids who saw the violent games got into more physical attacks on other kids than those who didn’t.
It isn’t a “cause”, but there are a number of cases showed that violent video games played a role in the subsequent violence.
This episode of Bluey is called "Sandy Hook."
The one ad where the girl gives birth and a kid goes flying. He ages fast and then he crashes into a grave. It was an XBOX ad. Its very weird.
All console ads were weird at that time. Remember the PS3 commercial with the Scottish alien girl?
@@WobblesandBean I don't remember if it was for PS2, but there was also the weird robot baby commercial PlayStation did.
They used to be acid trips without you actually having to do the acid 😂
@@WobblesandBean The PS3 commercial with WHAT? 😂
As disturbing as the “another lesson from
My neighborhood” PSA series are, I think they are kind of perfect all things considered.
They don’t rely on shock value or gore and they get the message across very well! I deeply dislike “scared straight” style psa’s, especially if their broadcasted on television so it’s refreshing to see psa’s that can still be memorable without being bad for children to accidentally see
As someone who was subjected to watch PSAs as a young kid no matter how scarring they were because my parents wanted me to learn, I AGREE WITH THIS SO MUCH.
The male model one didn’t teach me anything about playing with fireworks it just made me gay
Yeah same here
It least you learned something- in this case about yourself
I.. I mean, it taught you something
SAME LMFAO
My 4 story home burnt down in minutes a few years ago due to a “freak electrical fire”.
By the time we smelled something like “an overheating x-box”, the first floor was completely engulfed.
2 weeks before Christmas 30 mins north of Manhattan. I had no shoes on, pajama pants & a hoodie as I grabbed my iPhone to use the kitchen porch exit to call 911 as I walked to the front yard.
By the time I was speaking to the operator- I was in front of the house and- with the operator on the line, the windows of all floors EXPLODED as the roof burst into flames.
Long story short- we own the house and land- so insurance covered the 3 years of living in a rental house.
But I’ll never forget…
Also, while my brother was able to get my schizophrenic mother out in time, all animals (2 cats, dog, fish) died in the fire.
God I hope yall are doing okay
I am so sorry for your loss, I hope you are ok as of date.
A very similar thing happened to me in the cold snap in February, freak electrical fire. They think mice came inside to escape the cold and ate through electrical cords in the wall. I lost my pets too and I haven’t mentally recovered at all.
@@m.nic.5080 The entire wall of the guest bedroom was on fire 🔥😳 the wall connects to the garage - but by opening that guest room door, we let in the oxygen 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️.
That’s why the windows all blew within seconds of me getting out - but I knew what was coming as soon as I saw the entire wall ablaze- but it wasn’t like I could *undo* that
Nobody has ever lived in that bedroom- growing up we were a family of 4, and this is a 5 bedroom house (3 floors not including the redone basement apartment) and I live on the top floor. (Guest bedroom is on the first)
It was just crazy how long we smelled the “hot x-box” smell (which was like an hour - my brother spent half that time combing through the house and the last bedroom you’d ever have expected it to be it was 🤷🏻♀️) compared to the blazing INFERNO that happened so FAST after the addition of that oxygen 🤦🏻♀️
Man I’m so sorry. When it happened to me I don’t think I had a single thought until the next morning (it happened at about 11 PM) the sight of the house with flames going up to the sky higher than I thought possible just didn’t seem real to my brain and it wouldn’t process any of it. And then when my brain woke up from the shock all I cared about was the pets. (Who were never found.) Over the course of the next months I would randomly remember other things I lost that I didn’t consider before, it was really surreal. Halloween was especially weird because I didn’t remember that I lost my whole animatronic collection until then, I just hadn’t considered it since it was low on the scale of priorities.
I remember as a kid there was this one psa about seat belt safety that ill never let go of, i dont remember everything exactly, but it went something like this: there was 3 people in a car, a guy in the backseat behind the drivers seat, his mom in the drivers seat, and the sister in the passenger seat, with the narrator saying: "unlike most people, (i forgot her name) knew her killer, it was her own son. " and then it showed a very graphic scene of the car suddenly stopping and the brother bashing forward into the seat infront of him and then sitting back down with blood all over his face, and then the narrator just says: "he bashed open her skull, and then sat back down again." And the ending scene was the cut off high pitched scream of the sister in horror that slowly faded away to show text saying "please wear your seatbelt" or something like that. Will never recover from that.
It was "Julie knew her killer" We were shown the same PSA in Driver's Ed.
@@perofan1424 trauma😭
I heard something like that, it was like all that but the car hit a pole and the narrator says “The mother hears her own neck snap, The daughter has her head half open, the son was launched out of the car. The father survived, and he was at the steering wheel of the car.
Fasten your seatbelts.” It said something like that
Omg yeah they showed us that one in yr7 and I couldn't sleep that night lol
We watched that in school! We also had to watch a real video of a man dying right afterwards which has never ever left me. Someone died on a local road and had a GoPro thing on his motorbike helmet and they released the footage to be used to remind people to drive safe. You can just hear the guy gurgling on his own blood and struggling to breathe before he just stops breathing. Worst part is it wasn't even entirely his fault - a car pulled out straight in front of him while he was speeding. It was harrowing anyway but knowing it was real and wasn't just actors made it terrifying because you couldn't just rationalise the horror by thinking "oh, it's just paid actors". I still know people who speed everywhere they go and I always think back to that video because all it takes is one thing to go wrong and you're not only having a crash which can be fatal at 30mph, you're having a crash at, say, 60mph which is MUCH rarer to survive. I remember kids in my year joking about the video afterwards and it made me realise that these PSAs just don't impact some people. This was a real man who died and we are a fairly small town, pretty much everyone knows each other, and these kids were mocking and making fun of how he choked on his blood and strained to breathe with I assume a collapsed lung. Kids are terrifying sometimes.
i hate the attitude of the fireworks psas.... like the psas almost encourage being cruel to firework/burn victims with the framing..
Just gonna say. After watching the Apache's short. Horribly dissapointing that you chose to highlight the mud drowning and not the horrific weed killer/rat poison scene. Her screams made it so fucking realistic its gonna keep me up tonight
probably keeping the worst death for the video, and yeah what a horror it was
The game in the video game PSA is Driver.
I do think stuff like that is pretty effective for putting people off, because it shows just how difficult day-to-day activities and hobbies can become as a result of your mistakes.
Yeah that’s definitely Driver, I’d recognise that car anywhere…….mainly because of how long that damn tutorial took to complete
@@CyborgCharlotte Even without the car, I don't know any other game with a "felony" meter...
2:28 Alternate ending
Sheep: wtf no
yeah when I was younger I met one of those people on discord but luckily I was taught to not say where I lived and I just blocked him
as someone who's a connoisseur of disturbing PSAs since I saw one about anti smoking that fucked me up I can usually tell when one's good or not based on how it shocks the audience. I think the best are the ones that juxtapose the glamourised version of the idea with the reality of it. Rather than scare the viewer it makes them question the point of doing said thing.
There's a horror film called Possum based on British PSA ads, and it really does have that creepy and unsettling atmosphere
This reminds me of the "No Pomegranates" meme.
The meme is a teacher yelling at the front of her class about pomegranates. She sounds absolutely insane, unless you have the important context that she's teaching a class about these types of PSAs. She's yelling to prove that if people want to really spread their message, they shouldn't just yell "Don't Smoke!!" at them, because it makes people curious and they'll just want to try it more.
The "scare" tactics don't work for this reason. They're not actually scaring people, they're just leaving them with questions, but PSAs that show why they're bad while doing it an a way that captures people's attention are a lot better at teaching these things.
My favorite PSAs are the "Breath of Stress Air" Anti-vaping PSAs. They're so messy and loud and it stresses me out lol
Anti-Smoking ads have made entire generations of kids into cynics lol Not saying smoking is good, but they're are repercussions for over-selling the truth 🤷♂️🤷♂️
The PSA that has always stuck with me is one for overdosing on prescription medication. The entire PSA is filmed form second person looking at two women’s feet while they wait for the nail paint to dry. While they’re talking, the second woman suddenly goes quiet, her feet go slack, and the first starts screaming her name. You can see she’s trying to shake her awake because her feet start rocking back and forth. Then the PSA comes to an abrupt end. Used to see it in movie theatres all the time and it was so horrifying to me I covered my ears and closed my eyes everytime it came on.
As someone who doesn’t have use of my right hand from birth. The firework ones made me roll my eyes. It’s also hurtful to hear that that’s so terrifying for people to loose a finger of all things. And how they made it seem like it was horrific. I know the intention is to make people aware that they can get seriously injured. But all it felt like to me was a jab at handicapped people.
lol
Thanks for the input, I was wondering how others would feel about this when I first saw it
its supposed to be scary
it seems like most people would be terrified at any slight change to their situation healthwise.
PSAs are notoriously prone to using the image of disfigured or disabled people for shock value. I get what they're going for, but it's really unfortunate. Not to mention, those firework ones are just made shitty? Instead of one cohesive message, they each just feel like cobbled pieces forced together? Swing and a miss
Sadly the This is My Neighborhood hits home for me since I lived in a neighborhood that had certain streets to avoid at certain times due to gang wars and also having my step kid's mom ODing quite a few times (I really hope she can stay clean so she can more of a part of her kids' lives)
the music you have in this disturbs me more than these psas
Also it's much louder than his narration and the videos themselves 😭
frr
what’s wild is years and years ago i would watch “TOP 10 SCARIEST COMMERCIALS!” and now, i’m doing the exact same thing- only a little more mature and a little scarier.
can we get a "most wholesome psas" videos now?
Dumb ways to die
The commercial break house fire hit close to home for me,as a few years ago a fire destroyed my childhood home. I am 15 now,and it happened almost 2 years ago,but it still tramatized me to the point I can't even smell smoke without panicking.
Be safe around fire,it can ruin your life fast.
I hope things get better for you.
@@unngjerde5064 it did slightly,i still freak out when smelling smoke, but me and my family got a safer place,and we're all happy ^^,thanks!
The firework one with the missing fingers really hits harder because it nearly scarred me, and I just saw it, so if a little kid was unfortunate enough to see this, I don't think they'll ever trust fireworks again.
Some of thoes firework ones rub me the wrong way, theres showing disfigurement as a way to shock people and then theres poking fun at people
The fireworks ones make me uncomfortable but for different reasons than what was intended. Particularly the one with the guys laughing at the handless guy, the guy at the club who can’t get a date, and the boy band one. I could just be reading to deep into it or mis-interpreting, but all of them have a somewhat ableist undertone to them. It’s almost like it’s saying if you get these disabilities, you’ll be treated like a freak, you won’t have any friends, get laid or get the jobs you want. Not to mention they all work on using the missing fingered and hands basically for shock value. Imagine being a person either born without these appendages or someone who got an an accident involving your fingers getting blown off and you see this ad basically saying your life is nothing but mistery where everyone views you as a freak? I can see how that could be pretty demoralising.
On the other hand, I guess that’s kind of the point. Maybe the filmmakers were trying to convey the long term effects these kinds of injuries can have, not only on how you do certain tasks but also how society May mistreat you because of it. Maybe some other person who lost a finger from fireworks would relate to the way the characters get disadvantaged in every day situations like these, rather than hurt or offended. Maybe seeing these psa’s would make them feel less alone in the way they’re treated for their disability, and feel glad these ads may warn others about the dangers of messing with fireworks so they dont make the same mistakes they made. Which is probably the intended message.
Idk I’m just rambling at this point. And tbh my perspective might not even be that informed since I’m not an amputee myself. I’d rather hear from the perspective of an actual hand/finger amputee. But I guess it’s just some perspectives to think about, y’know?
Agreed, as it's from the 90s the ableism is strong, even for Holland.
I just think those PSAs are kinda tone-deaf in general. Like you have to be normal to have friends or amputees can't do anything. They also just say "don't mess with fireworks" but they don't talk about safe fireworks, or the correct way to use them. It feels like one of those things your mother would tell you with no actual basis in reality.
It reminds me of "A Christmas Carol" when everyone tells the kid he'll shoot his eye out, but it just makes him believe they're crazy and he's too safe to do that, then once it actually happens he feels like he can't tell anyone.
I get what the PSAs were talking about. But using some form of ableism to scare people from playing with fireworks is kinda messed up.
Little fire safety tip: if you ever have to ad flamable liquid to something that's hot, do NOT ad it staight from the bottle. If you ad it from the bottle, the liquid will catch fire which will blow up the bottle, shooting fire everywhere. And do NOT ad water to a grease fire. If there is a grease fire, you should put a lid on the pot and turn off the heat. Also test your smoke alarm at LEAST once a month, and change the bateries once a year.
only the ogs remember “we’re not candy”
None of them are scaring me, they're just making me sad.
Edit: the biggie bear one with Mr. rabbit actually got a reaction out of me.
They remind me how miserable and hopeless this world really is
The fireworks one did trigger a shiver down my spine, I dunno why...
Probably because people still underestimate fireworks and end up with wounds a war vet would have, just because they didn't listen to the warnings...
I think I figured out why I love your videos so much. Your voice gives me similar vibes to Jake the Dog from earlier Adventure Time episodes. Kind of a chill and safe, but also cool kind of vibe. No matter what you’re talking about, your voice reminds me of Jake the Dog, in the most respectful way I can try to communicate.
It was so surreal to hear the name of the Kansas City youth ambassadors at 4:17 . I live in Kansas City and i remember being shown their PSAS in school once. The shootout one, while goofy, is (literally) close to home as I live in a moderate to poor area near several dangerous spots. We even had an abandoned house close by to us burn down due to squatters. I remember it happening, but I was really young. I could only see and smell the smoke. Since then they’ve repaired it and I believe the house is finally sold, but Kansas City is full of abandoned buildings that are dangerous to be in, and nobody does anything with them. They just keep building rich neighborhoods only a few blocks away instead of restoring the historical buildings. The redlining is real, and it even affects the rich folks, because no matter how big their houses are some are still pretty close by to some shady spots. Sadly, people tend to care more when the rich get hurt than the poor.
As someone who lives in the Netherlands, firework accidents are really no joke. Young people even throw fireworks at eachother and there are dozens off accidents on new years eve. We tried to ban fireworks, but a lot of people are against it since its a Dutch tradition. And the worst issue we have is that there are so many people in those accidents that there are no ambulances left:(
(Im sorry for my bad english, English isnt my first language and im dyslectic)
I can only see like 2 mistakes unless I can’t read
There's nothing to be sorry for, your English grammar is fine :)
I thought you were a native English speaker so dw, you did amazing with your spelling and grammar
As someone who has PTSD, the action man PSA actually made me tear up a bit.
I was waiting for someone to mention this one, that is probably one of the saddest ones here but didn't get much time due to TH-cam not liking such... sensitive topics.
To share a personal story that informed my world view (and my childhood best friend’s as well) :
At 15, back in like the 50s, my father was really skilled with chemistry. But he was also 15. So he decided to make his own fireworks after hours in the chem lab.
The end result is exactly what you’d think it would be.
Half a granite table turned into shrapnel and imbedded itself in his torso, his right hand is gone along with half way up his forearm, and his left hand has a mangled pinky, a half there ring, and scar tissue and more granite binding up his entire hand so he’s fairly reduced to using his thumb and forefinger, and sort of his middle which is curled inward from scar tissue and muscle damage.
But the lesson to be careful in a chem lab (and to not _make_ fireworks, ffs) weren’t the two I took away.
Of course I heeded that. But the first thing I took from his experience was to not run a risk of losing my dominate hand (he lost his right, I’m paranoid about losing my left), and the second thing, the thing my childhood best friend took away as well, was to not judge people who were missing limbs. To not find them “undatable” and to look past any of those physical traits. My father has a hook, yes, one he made himself (engineer) out of stainless steel because he kept using the plastic ones for projects and they weren’t meant to be strong enough to be reliable if you were handling lathes and welding tools. But because I was little, as was my best friend, he often had his hook off (to not hurt us since we were at eye height with the pointy end) so both she and I never saw his missing hand as weird, because little kids just accept things.
And both my childhood best friend and myself have lost friends when they something awful like not wanting to date someone who is missing a limb and we shut that down. Especially when, around here, most people are missing limbs because they served in the military.
I’ve talked to people with all limbs, and for reasons I literally do not understand, they find someone missing a limb to be “gross” or “not capable of being a full person.” It is an instant “press here to make me mad” button. Just because someone is missing a hand, foot, partial leg, partial arm, etc, doesn’t make them _less human_ and the dating stories my father has before he met my mom, were horrific. And it’s really sad that I’ve heard very similar stories from vets.
Apaches was shown in primary schools here in the UK, definitely stuck with me. I remember a lot of the railway safety PSAs growing up, and the Fire Kills PSAs (just double checked, they're called Nightvision or Get Out Alive) were very common on TV and some of the shots are burned into my brain. But the one PSA I remember shot-for-shot, word for word is the THINK PSA (also called 30 for a reason, iirc), it shows a girl dead on the pavement and starts with "If you hit me at 40 miles per hour, there's around an 80% chance I'll die"., then time reverses and all her bones crack back into place, she wakes up on the road and says, "Hit me at 30, and there's around an 80% chance I'll live". I don't find it particularly scary or unnerving, but definitely very memorable and very impactful, I think most people who saw it on TV still remember it.
19:01 Let me explain. The loss of letters, numbers, and/or symbols is a result of The man (the sign language guy) playing with firework and losing his fingers. (This is just an analogy video, don’t be creeped out)
Could be a combination of both, people who have difficulty hearing do tend to be worse at communicating as well as your point.
ive always had a strange interest in scary psas, so its cool to see that you made a video on them
11:14 Growing up in New Zealand I can confirm our PSAs would scare the sh*t out of me as a kid. I have a distinct memory of watching dragonball z one morning and seeing that "my boy's in the back" slow motion car crash one. I would wager every Kiwi who grew up in the 2000s was scarred by NZTA's safe driving campaign.
The biggie bear suprise psa went from 0-1000 real fucking quick
the second psa about drinking water fast reminds of when i do that exact thing to avoid eating due to my ed… it’s sad to realize these are for kids and people who can’t afford food. my heart is sad.
The whole "You are an ass if you play with fireworks" campaign feels so demonizing towards victims of firework accidents and disabled people overall. Most people who get into those accidents are young, and dont know that what they are doing is stupid, and the PSAs feel like a big shame campaign towards them, even those who were not the cause of said accidents, they cant go back in time and undo the done, so its rather cruel to point a big middle finger towards them. Not to mention the message those PSAs are sending is "people with *insert deformity* are stupid and its their fault", but what if its not caused by fireworks? the whole thing was aired on tv, and if a little kid came across it they would get the idea, that would very effectively plant a seed of intolerance, victim blaming and ableism into their head that would probably stick with them for the rest of their life.
quiet down
@@Rextheskunk💯
Yapping
The firework section lasted way too long
i feel like the fireworks ones are just mean, because any form of firework can still go wrong and cause those accidents
Ok, that last one pisses me off. That's not only insanely insensitive to the victims of those events, but it's not even remotely true or accurate. VIDEO GAMES DO NOT CAUSE VIOLENCE.
SORRY HONEY Gearisko MADE A NEW VIDEO
honey wake up*
@@gieniutekfacts
i watched all of the biggie bear psas and i think they add more to the issue than actually addressing the issue. 'biggie bear meets a friend' shows him s^xually assaulting a woman which NO kid should witness, even as a PSA. like, even as an adult I'm still really shocked so I couldn't begin to understand how a kid would feel.
The action man PSA was the most depressing imo, it was heartbreaking watching the reality that veterans go through, ranging from hanging to bleeding out on the battlefield to navigating life in a wheelchair.
The duck dodge and roll PSA sounds more like a skit then a PSA, but if it worked then thats good
20:37 they took talking shit to a new level
I like the detail how in the beginning (i’m talking about the first PSA) Lena was waving her feet but as the Wolf became creepier Lena looks more worried and distraught it’s a really nice detail
those firework psas hit home. a large group of my friends who live in a particular part of my city have a tradition that every new year's eve they shoot at each other with fireworks, calling it a war. me and many others have told them to stop, they never listen. maybe i should show this to them.
people are talking about the video game PSAs, but, jesus christ, those fireworks PSAs are just... terrible. garbage. they're straight up ridiculing people without hands and fingers. like... they're aware that not everyone is guilty of having those disabilities, right? they at least acknowledge those who are just bystanders and get hit, but completely disregard those born like that. and the whole theme of "ass" is just cringy as hell. I'm at a loss of words. god damn it.
Some of those fireworks PSA are outright insulting toward ppl with disabilities or scarring FFS
Gearisko upload? And its right after I get home form work?? And its on one of my favorite topics??? The stars have truly aligned today
So we all know the classic life-alert ad of that old lady saying “I’ve fallen and can’t get up”. But there was one in recent time where it isn’t as charming and funny as the old ones. It can’t really remember it well but I’m sure googling it will yield better results than me describing it.
It’s a bunch of panning shots through a house while you hear someone crying in pain, after some time they cut to an old lady who’s fallen down the stairs crying a lot. And then it cuts to the life alert logo and some text I forgot.
I saw that when I was a lot younger and it scared the absolute shit out of me because I always worried about my grandma as time went on as she got older. I was always worried something would happen to her. Good thing nothing has happened yet. But that ad I will NEVER forget.
I know that exact commercial, and yes, it is creepy as heck.
I’m glad this channel was able to grow from miscellaneous to trollge incidents now he’s covering miscellaneous again but most horror types of miscellaneous, it’s nice to see the channel evolve, I can’t wait to se more content to come in the future ❤🙏
12:28 I’m sorry but the way this PSA just calls them asses is kinda funny.
The no fingers thing is super haunting with the individual clips, but my God when they're all put together like that, and you keep thinking he's going to move on, and then BOOM it's the no-fingers again I started to have to try not to laugh and I feel so bad about it but Jesus there are just so many
The one back to school PSA where it's normal in the first half and then very creepy in the second half
your channel is so underrated! i don’t know how something well produced like this goes without high praise!
9:13 their mom is fucking dying and the are getting it DOWN, the mom is overdosing and they are just "LETS MOVE TONIGHT!!"
Biggie Bear used to be something deeply terryfying, but now, it would be a dank meme or popular tik tok trend
The game mentioned in "Video Game" 14:35 is a game called Driver for the Ps1. It's an early predecessor to the GTA games.
Truly honored for the SWR Television PSA I uploaded to be sited. BTW, "Do not underestimate the power of video games" is supposed to be a riff of Playstation Europe's ad slogan at the time "Do Not Underestimate The Power of Playstation" Amok 2 is a rich title for that PSA considering, the actual Amok is a mech action game on Sega Saturn
i want to thank you for making this video, teaching people about these issues with the hook of telling how creepy they are
Biggie Bear R-Words a Friend has got to be the worst thing on this list, aside from the Action Man series, which I refuse to watch till the end.
26:11 Basically FNAF in a nutshell
21:32 hits different because a house in my neighborhood completely burnt down recently
The a word used to mean donkey..
"Youre a donkey if you play with fireworks."🤣
the worst part about psa like these is they always play when its dark out too like why they gotta play at the creepiest times
speaking from experience, fire spreads a hell of a lot quicker than that psa shows.
Im so happy that someone knows what Lessons from my neighborhood is!! I found it randomly while doing a deep dive on some medical machine thats used to calm people by pressing them. Its literally the same machine they use to hold cows still so they can kill them.... I went on a random hospitals website to find more info on that machine and I saw these videos linked on it. The Food video honestly feels like the worst one because there's no obvious lesson. It just feels like their teaching you to eat air and suck it up if you dont have food, at least the others tell you what to do in a certain situation
Those weren’t meant to instruct on what to do. They’re showing that young children are being taught those lessons or coping methods, as the name and age of a real kid demonstrates after the songs are done, and how that’s not how reality should be for kids. They shouldn’t be taught how to identify a drug overdose or know how to avoid being shot or find ways to cope with hunger in Sesame Street style or at all.
the point is that theyre disturbing messages to teach children, but there are children in the world who know these things through experience. Adults are the actual target audience of those PSAs
The fire one literally made me shiver, living in California during the wildfires has forever changed me, and my God if this isn't a nightmare I have. Fire is seriously terrifying, people.
The One with the hungry child kinda hit home not because we can never get food…we have food it’s just we don’t have enough for a little bit of food sometimes… and the “overdose” kinda hit home because my mom use to go to parties and get drunk….but she changed and now is the best mother that’s carrying for me, one 1 year, and 16 year old… love you mom.
duck dodge roll ad sounded like a meme
I’m stoping a 6 year old from saying first yay
The third one just, I feel weak but… it made me cry… it’s been what I’ve dealt with my whole life
that plate gave me flashbacks to dont hug me im scared lol 6:18
Those fireworks PSA gave us a really important lesson:
Ableism is OK if it is for public safety
South Africa is quite a ways behind the West in terms of progressivism, they didn't even have TV until 1976! While they might have something like adult swim now it would've been a bit too controversial to put something that seemed like that on air 20 years ago.
Apartheid era South Africa was all sorts of crazy.
The quote by Sire about fireworks still gets used to this day in firework safety ads in the NL. I vaguely remember seeing some PSA's about it back in the day, they really wanna hammer in how dangerous playing with fireworks is, especially now that the government is trying to ban fireworks nationwide.
Im honestly curious why these were prominent in the netherlands. Does netherlands have a sort of firework issue?
4:31. This reminds me of the stories my mother would tell me when she lived in New York. She would tell me good and scary stories. She would tell me that being out at night in New York is a horrible mistake. America has it's fair share of dangerous cities.
I am quite young and I use this account as a personal account but I understand everything in that first PSA. Throughout my years of playing online multiplayer games, I've seen numerous attempts to get kids to go their house. At first, I thought that it would be the PSA to tell kids not to go up to someone that looks suspicious but as soon as I saw the other sheep, I knew exactly that this was to bait kids into going to their home, doing whatever they want with them. If anyone asks a demand like "Come to my house", then they most likely want full possesion over you and wanting to do whatever the hell they want to do with you. It would've been harder to spot out if they said "Would you like to come to my house?" because is a more calming manor instead of just a straight-up demand. The switch of 17-18 was a sly and clever trick to let the victim know that they aren't too far apart in terms of age. The first PSA gave me deja-vu because of the alarming amount of predators willing to get out people. Stay out of contact from anyone that is asking for a demand after releasing such vital information. Stay safe, kids.
14:45
I actually know that one! That's a game from the Driver series.
In America several years ago I’d say around 2014 the “Truth” organization wich is an anti smoking ad agency that buys spots on tv and several other social platforms released a psa that always stuck with me. A man stands alone in a park holding a box he shakily opens the box to reveal a broken and cracked set of teeth and a rough ragged tongue. He stares into the box as the camera cuts back and forth between the teeth and the man before suddenly the teeth are inside the man’s mouth with his teeth being in the box.
The lessons from my neighborhood ones are just sad but reality for some people and alot of these psas are wild
Don't think I've ever been this early to somebody's newest video before. Fuck yeah new gearisko video!
