Let me know if you guys are enjoying these classic style videos! They've been a lot of fun!
I'm so glad you've been making more of these, these are awesome!
Please more classictronic
please do more deep into youtube videos!!
I know I do
Yes
“Do you know who strangers are”
No Mary, that’s why they’re called strangers. Try to keep up.
even police are strangers. so how can we trust them?
@@miciso666Hmmmmm…
@miciso666, that's not funny. I am actively scared of police officers. Even though I can't explain why...
@@gwenpicchi5719 I’m sorry to tell you this but it’s not necessarily a joke. The police aren’t always the good guys. You should never go with a police officer to a secluded place and you should never answer questions without a lawyer even if you’re not under arrest. Don’t trust the cops.
@@gwenpicchi5719it is funny tho
The "stranger danger" concept has made me deathly afraid of speaking with adults I don't know, as well as going to public places without my parents. I'm 23 and haven't been kidnapped once. Works like a charm!
Yep, same with me and I’m in my 30s.
Exactly! Just develop social anxiety and you’ll never be kidnapped! It’s worked for me so far 👍
Social anxiety makes getting abducted impossible
@@ZetaCancri There is a special move where if someone tries to grab you it makes you able to evade capture. It has something to do with dropping on the ground and tripping their legs.
Hi, I'm 35. I'm also a lonely adult. What are your socials? Do you myspace, or whatever.
These stranger danger videos had a secret danger themselves. Making kids think that the majority of abductions are committed by strangers. The majority of children are abducted and assaulted by people they already know.
That’s true too.
True.
But what if the majority of kidnappings/assault being from familiar people is due to the centuries of "don't talk to strangers" advice, and not the other way around? 🤔
@@drawingdragon Stranger Danger as a concept is relatively new, and was even unheard of pre-early 20th century. Not that stranger or familial kidnappings never happened, but there was a time when we used to rely a lot more on our wider communities than we do today. The podcast American Hysteria explains this phenomenon a lot better than I can, IMO
Ding ding ding ding we have a winner. Finally someone said it.
"Wreck-It Ralphs gonna kill your dog... that's pretty cool."
- Chadtronic 2023
my favorite quote
@@yungtownmine too
Kidnappers actually do use the "can you help me find my dog" line. Back when I was a kid a women rolled up to me and asked me that line, I responded "Okay. Let me ask my parents." I ran to my parents, and then I looked back where she was and she was gone.
They don't really teach "Stranger Danger" in the UK anymore, for 2 main reasons, 1. Most abductions are from family/people they know. 2. When they did teach "Stranger Danger" a lot of children hid from EVERY stranger, including uniformed police/teachers etc that were looking for them.
Also, children are on their phone and either watch appropriate content, but are addicted to it and don’t go outside much, or they watch content for older people and don’t fall for strangers
This is the kind of stuff that got me watching you in the first place. Cursed commercials is great, but definitely sprinkling in some classic style videos is the cherry on top.
Theory (not really): Chadtronic is in a Schrödinger's cat situation. One Chadtronic makes videos like this, while the other watches cursed commercials in a castle.
Agreed! It was these types of videos that had me watching and subbing in the first place! 🎉
@BowserBowl-qe5jg Which one was that? I must have missed it.
Growing up in the 90s, I had all this exact advice drilled in my head, and I was terrified of becoming lost in a mall/public place because I was so afraid of talking to strangers that my little-kid brain put it together that STORE CLERKS...........ARE ALSO STRANGERS
Thankfully never happened
Same. I had the stranger danger advice drilled in my mind since childhood.
That's why it's helpful to tell kids that if you need an adult, then typically a woman who has kids with her or a uniformed adult is going to be safe to go to for help.
@@db_524so Chadtronic uploads every month
@@FrenkTheJoy Women with children can be child abductors too, it's called equality
Well yeah…that’s the logical conclusion 😂 I got lost at Target, Michael’s, Disney World, and on a cruise ship. And thankfully the last two were when I were 11 so I knew I could talk to employees, but I was definitely scared when I was younger.
Man oh man did I miss these types of videos from you. Thanks for uploading more of these!
Thanks for subbing for 6 years! Wow.
@@chadtronic Looks like someone found out how to read fortunes since his break from weird videos! O’ great Chadtronic, we bow down to ye!
Same ❤🥺
@@chadtronichiiiiiii
I love your videos
@@chadtronicdid you make the “warning: End of internet do not open” sign?
The worst part about Stranger Danger videos is there's no scrutiny in them. It's just "stay away from people you don't know!" How is that gonna allow people to enter the workforce if you're telling them to not talk with anyone?
Then again, Barney's "strangers are your friends" deal lacks scrutiny on the literal opposite end of the spectrum.
Really, the best handling of strangers would go to the Berenstain Bears, which had Mama Bear explain how there are good apples and bad apples among people.
The idea is that when the kid grows up more they are physically stronger and also have better judgement so they are able to talk to strangers then. I guess that's supposed to happen in their teen years.
Granted adults, especially women can still get kidnapped but it's less common.
@@mattwolf7698 Doesn't work in tandem with infantalizing teens and treating them as long children, though.
i‘m pretty sure they figure that out before they are old enough to work. it‘s just not worth the risk. kids are trusting by nature and it‘s safer for them to be scared of anyone they don‘t know
*bad apple*
I am 23 and have a hard time talking with co-workers that are more than 5 years older then me, due to childhood trauma of watching these stranger danger videos...
I loved when, in the section about half way in where the guy asked if the kid could help find his dog, the Scooby-Doo answer was misspelled.
I’ve been loving these classic styled videos! Really nostalgic. You rock, Chad!
Look, if she asked me to put batteries in her game boy I would get abducted in a heart beat
@TrialzGTAS she was pretty and had video games to boot. What person wouldn't fall for that.
Though according to the officer she did fit the definition of a stranger. She was good looking, and had on a shirt.
Reminds me of when he watched rat boy genius for some reason
@@Brique_24 potato knishes
I now feel safe knowing that I can call upon Scooby-Doo when I am in any sort of danger.
Or Willy Wonka
@@narutosbelievinnow I don’t know who is better…
It's Scobby-Doo. Huge difference.
Stranger danger is such a pet peeve of mine, like, I understand things like that DO happen sometimes but for the majority of cases the child is targeted by somebody they already know. In any case I would LOVE for Chad to watch the Yello Dyno "tricky people" tape- it's something I watched on repeat constantly as a kid but now as a grown up love to laugh at. Despite all the cringe-y parts of it though, it actually does address the issue of boiling child abduction/abuse down to "stranger danger" which is why they made up the term "tricky people" in the first place.
Tricky people doesn't really have the same ring to it as Stanger danger, I agree there should be a different term, but I don't know if that's it.
Yellow Dino, man what a throwback lol. I remember him coming to my school for an assembly
He should watch those Spanish teaching videos with that terrifying Perro Pepe in it too.
Yello Dino is a Chad.
I can’t believe someone else remembers that
The way Chad blurred out the kids feet in the "being famous" trap sent me into orbit.
10:12 NO Chad, Mary didnt suggest you call Scooby Doo for help; she suggested "call a Scobby Doo" for help. HUGE difference.
They spelled "Scooby" Incorrectly!
And the answer... "Call a Scobby-doo?!"
Besides that... that's the wrong answer
Oh yeah! The classic style reaction stuff is back! Great to see you back to this again.
Cursed Commercials are definitely fun to watch, but the OG reaction videos are what I really enjoy from your channel. Definitely want to see more of them!
I love Cursed Commercials and they seem a little easier to film, especially since working on Poglings takes a lot of time and effort. But I discovered you through these classic reaction videos and they will always hold a special place in my heart. My first ever video with you was actually the one with PBG, the weird Zelda fangames. After that, I HAD to check out your channel. And my mom loves you too! 😄
"if a stranger comes up to you, go to the nearest responsible adult" I'm pretty sure they are also strangers.
"Power Cat sounds like Zordon..."
Wait ... didn't Zordon, like, kidnap a group of teens and force them to be his personal army through emotional blackmail? And he was supposed to be "the good guy"?! He'd be the creepy bad guy in literally every stranger danger PSA! "Hey kids, don't go into an isolated building with an old man who wants you to do things you don't want to do, even if he promises to give you superpowers and giant robot dinosaurs!"
Something very important to remember that needs to be discussed more is that the majority of abductions and assaults on children are committed by family and friends. It could be your father, your neighbor, or even your parents friends but it's unlikely to be a complete stranger. That being said you should be wary of strangers too but unfortunately they're not the biggest threat.
I'm pretty sure that the purpose of the obviously wrong answers like "Call Scooby-Doo", "Trade his bike for the car", and "Call Willy Wonka" are 1. Comic relief, and 2. To make sure that the kids watching are paying attention.
EDIT: It's also been brought up that the wrong answers involving fictional characters might also be there to test the kids' ability to tell fiction from non-fiction, which I suppose is fair.
That is silly, giving someone an obviously wrong answer doesn't test attention.
In this case it tests the ability to differentiate between Fiction and Non-Fiction.
I know you’re like “but what if that person really does need help?” And the question is “why aren’t they asking one of the other adults instead of the vulnerable children who probably can’t help anyway?” That’s why that behavior is always suspicious, especially in a place with a bunch of parents around like in the park.
If someone was actually looking for a dog, they’d more likely ask if you’ve seen their dog, with a description mentioning the breed and whatnot, instead of “please help me find him”
@@gooeydude574 exactly. Maybe we should be teaching children how to differentiate between someone who actually needs help and someone who is trying to do something bad. I actually really liked the girl with the code word, that’s really smart
I feel like that would be a better lesson than “EVERYONE YOU DONT KNOW IS EVIL AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE”
After all, grandmas LOVE throwing money at even random kids to help carry groceries and such. My grandma was just like that lmao
If they actually need help they should ask an adult not a little kid
i wouldn't say always suspicious, but yeah you have a point. really what i'd be worried about is if the kid needs help but there's not anyone they know around, what if they just don't ask anyone for help because they're scared of every stranger.
they really should just try and have warning signs of what's someone being malicious vs someone who actually is trying to help you or needs help themselves, rather than just "never say a single word to any stranger because they could all be out to get you", sure it's nice they're acknowledging that anyone can be dangerous, not just the stereotypical creepy guy, but there's still some ways you might be able to tell if someone's telling the truth or not
Thanks to being barraged by stranger danger warnings as a child, I've grown to fear all social contract with unfamiliar people. I guess better to grow up socially stunted than dead.
I love these classic-style videos! I especially love the "two Chads" skits, and I'm glad you included one here. The one from your Weird Atari Commercials video has always been my favorite.
hi
lool furry
dont be creepy@@MaggieAMoscaZoadora
@@Folfah If being called a furry "bores" you, why are you doing it to others? lmao
It’s nice that we’ve improved regarding our stance on teaching our children to be safe when at home or away. Nowadays people use the term, “tricky people”, (those who try to manipulate kids into following them) teaching our kids that there do exist good and bad strangers in our world and that they can also be kidnapped or harassed by someone they know.
I SPEFICIALLY remember watching that second one in school! Speaking of which, the same people who produced that second one made this other stranger danger video about an alien (yes, really) going to school on Earth and he ends up in some groundhog day loop because he keeps getting into trouble with strangers (and it's one of those videos that seem to suggest that everyone in your neighborhood who isn't your teacher or your parents is out to kill or molest you). To top it all off, the alien has the same voice as Invader Zim. I think it was called "Get Street Smart".
God that video sounds oddly familiar! Would love if anyone has it cuz I swear I've seen it
Oh my god I wanna see Richard Horvitz doing Zim's voice in a PSA-
@@lan_aretto Eddy Burback has a video about it
Omg, I know what video you are talking about! They were part of the Corny The Alien series and that particular one is notoriously hilarious.
"Stranger Danger" ruined me. I wasn't allowed to leave the house for anything but school until 18 years, my family eventually pulled me out of school anyway. I have no social skills and can't carry a conversation. I guess i can't get kidnapped if i can't go outside.
A couple weeks ago my cat got out and ran off. I was going up and down the neighborhood looking for him and calling him and of course couldn't get any help. I found him on a neighbor's porch, terrified an crying cuz he'd never been out of the house aside from vet visits.
Stranger danger paranoia almost made me lose my cat. Thanks 90s!
Power Cat needs to fight Cool Cat to the death in order to prove who is “ better” at helping kids
Honestly a battle between ALL the weird furry characters would be epic. My money is on Red E. Fox.
Everyone gets viruses by Dog @@bucketsdoesstuff2824
I think Cool Cat's got this one. He can just run Powercat over with the Cool Cat Convertible
Omg I love the return of the classic format! Even has the famous chair slap!
Also, one time some guy tried to lure my friend and I into his car but he was really bad at it. He just shuffled up to us and said “do you guys wanna see inside my car?” He didn’t even say it was a cool car lmao
To be honest, with all my stranger danger training, I feel a little left out that no random adult tried to get me in their van or whatever.
16:38 the police officer slide clip caught me TOTALLY off guard lmao
I literally wheezed and hurt my chest a bit when that guy threatened to kill the kid’s dog it was so sudden
2:42
imagine being a little kid turning around to see *THAT* standing behind you 💀
10:22 They didn’t even spell it right! Scobby Doo 😂
I didn't even notice because I was distracted by the "a".
I like how they describe strangers in the first video as some anomalous creature that can take on many human forms
I love that these are telling you not to trust any stranger ever and to never go with them, then immediately turn around and tell you to go to and stay with store employees (who are strangers).
really missed these classic styles of videos. feels crazy to say that i've been watching so long that it feels nostalgic!
I always love it when Chad reacts to these old PSA like videos.
As dumb as these videos are, they do help lol. Me and my friend were 11 walking around the block and a guy pulled up to us asking if we could help look for his dog he lost in 'the storm' (there had been no storm). We ended up backing away and running and he drove off. Its so cliche but people really do these lines.
Unfortunately stranger danger is pretty outdated and can be dangerous. It's obviously helped in some cases, but about 90% of kids actually know their perpetrator. So "stranger danger" is almost useless. It teaches kids to be scared of all strangers, which could include teachers, police officers, librarians, store clerks, etc. I think some psychologists are trying to push "tricky people" now, which isn't as catchy haha. But it's moreso about people who make the kid feel uncomfortable or icky, which can be anyone regardless of if the kid knows them or not.
Ayy it's always a treat to see you return to these classic videos! (Also hope we see some 2015 level sideburns in the future lol)
oh god, not the sideburns
@@chadtronic Yea!
When I was a kid our stranger danger mascot, was McRuff the Crime Hound. They also made us take missing kid pictures alongside our school photos. 20 years later and I still haven't been kidnapped, so that was a waste of money.
I remember McGruff the Crime Hound. He taught me about the dangers of drugs, bullies, and strangers as a kid.
I adore how much realism is added to this moment 9:56 with the extra kids
Ah yes Stranger Danger, while I think its still is super important for kids to be wary of Strangers and remain safe. Most case's I've heard of kids being mistreated, especially childhood sexual abuse tends to usually happen by someone within the family or by those that the kid already knows like a babysitter or a friend of the parents and so forth.
1:13 Probably the most intense Stranger Danger intro ever.
Fun fact, my parents absolutely stored a dna sample from me when I was a kid lol. They didn't freeze it though. They just swabbed my mouth, put it in a ziplock and stuck it into a cabinet
Also fun fact: I actually was almost kidnapped, presumably. There was a moment where I was walking with my dad and we walked by a stereotypical van. The driver was just chatting with my dad asking him some directions or something when the side door opened up and someone inside held out a chocolate bar. I, of course, being the smart 8 year old who was told not to take candy from strangers that I was said "F$%# no, you're trying to kidnap me!" after which we walked away. I got in trouble for cursing , but I was not kidnapped so I call that a win. Its also totally possible they legit wanted to give me candy for some reason but I doubt it.
what the actual hell. that they took a dna sample is freaky
@@leejtam0914 its not freaky lol. Its what they were told to do by stranger danger stuff as a way to help find me if I got kidnapped. Its even mentioned in this video. Its just a weird thing parents were told to do just in case.
My mom took hair samples from me and my brother when we were small and mailed it to some government database thing in case we ever went missing. I am not sure how I feel about that now.
I highly doubt this was a kidnapping attempt, you'd have to be stupid to try it in front of a parent.
Not only does this give the police a face sketch, a chance to grab the kid back, but the ability for a parent to pull a concealed gun. These would have to be the stupidest people ever.
@@Buglin_Burger7878 are you insinuating that people *aren't* stupid? Plenty of kids have absolutely been kidnapped right in front of their parents, sometimes *by* another parent or family member, making it even more obvious for police to find.
Also, I didn't mention this, but my dad is blind, and was obviously blind to anyone seeing him at the time, black glasses and blind stick included.
I respect Chad for not making the obvious furry joke about the cat man
Really happy to see Chad’s back to his old ways (for now at least). The classic reaction stuff is top tier gold.
Again, the classic format just works so well. Very enjoyable.
I’ve Been Watching Since 2017, Both On Old Channels And New One’s, And Boy How Ive Missed These Videos! Thank You For Bringing Them aback!
Glad you like them!
Same.
You know, there were people who wanted to take my picture when I was at the old people home where my grandma lives and I wanted to quote this video. " If a stranger wants to take your picture, say NO. "
It also doesn't help that I'm camera shy, I don't like my picture being taken.
first time watching in a while, glad to see you’ve not changed one bit Chad 😭
End of the world event happens:
"Kid, help me! Please!!"
"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers"
"Kid I'm literally bleeding out here. Your parents are dead, everyone you know is dead or gone, everything is gone! "
"HELP! STRANGER DANGER!!!"
I’m genuinely so happy to see the old Chadtronic style return!
I remember the stranger danger video from 7 years ago. Still iconic and a classic.
Ironically, 90-95% of child "mistreatment" (I am referring to it as such because TH-cam is a bit over the top on censors. We all what I am REALLY referring to) happens from a friend or family member.
But of course, we cannot make videos mentioning that, because that will just make children terrified of their own parents. Which is how we get laughable videos like this.
A cruel irony indeed.
I am 23 and have a hard time talking with co-workers that are more than 5 years older then me, due to childhood trauma of watching these stranger danger videos...
I already learned what to do from tv: shout "That's my purse! I don't know you!" and kick them in the groin! XD
One time I was walking home on a fairly quiet road and some woman I'd never seen before in her car rolled her window down and asked if I needed a ride. She asked a couple times and I kept saying no so she drove away. This was when I was 17 years old, 6 feet tall, and walking home from my job still in my uniform and given that I obviously wasn't a small child I have no idea what that woman was trying to do
Wow
Holy crap!! Did she end up getting arrested?
its nice seeing chad return to his roots
Can’t believe that I was 9 years old when I started watching Chadtronic 7 years ago…
I was 8 lol
I’m a child of the 80s, we all thought we would get kidnapped by someone in a panel van. It was a horrifying thought. There were a lot of PSAs about this. It’s so funny to watch modern ones!
It was so nice to get this video in my notifications today, i hope the channel continues to grow! You deserve it chad 🎉🎉
Homestuck!!!!
Ngl i would totally turn the sprinklers on and THEN call my parents. That dude's not gonna come back to that house after getting soaked lmao
Wow, Chadtronic brought back his old intro!
"D. Call a scobby doo" The spelling error made it even funnier 🤣
The reverb on the cat voice makes it all the more scary
you have no idea how happy this video made me. For a while I felt like it was 2017 again and my mom and my cat where still with me. I really enjoy this format. I laughed so hard at the guy repeating his lines like a broken NPC, it was so weird lol.
I really did miss these style of videos, I remember watching them with my family/siblings sometimes. You're hilarious my man.
“All strangers are dangerous”
So classmates in school too? Oh boy😂
It's actually "Call a Scooby-Doo" instead of "Call Scooby-Doo" which is even funnier lol
Nowadays it would be “hey kids wanna help me look for my dog?” And the kids would respond with “lol rip bozo, L + ratio and you get no bitches”
As a child I wasn’t as afraid meeting other strangers so I always sort of stuck close to my mom but ran away later to look at the toys. I remember this one time a old lady actually gave me her McDonalds meal and my seven year old self took it with no repercussion and was surprisingly not jammed with drugs, glass, syringes, or STDs. Pretty cool.
Its great to see Chad returning to the classic style of videos
wow it’s crazy to see you post videos like this again! i’m really glad to see more of these.
Honestly the mix of Classic Chadtronic and Cursed Commercials is really entertaining
Why is this called "WORST stranger danger video ever" and not the STRANGEST stranger danger video ever
Power Cat legit looks like the mascot of the high school my mom went to
10:28 Wait!
So that kid ran to tell his mom, who was 10 feet away and facing them with nothing to do?!?! And somehow, she didn’t see this?!?! 🤣
Guy in the "being famous trap" bit really acted his heart out lmao
"Mostly, all strangers are dangerous" ah yes THATS where my social anxiety disorder and inability to meet new people came from.
I didn't know that Shag would kill my dog if I told our secret, love the old videos like this Chad, Keep it up
"Power Cat" is the third furry we've encountered to teach safety. (For those counting: 9-1-1, Escalators, and now Strangers)
I have Willy Wonka the Chocolate Factory on speed dial in case a stranger asks me for a ride.
I do miss the old Chadtronic room with all the toys on display when you reacted to Deep into TH-cam. You should bring it back!!
Chad, you’re underestimating the heroics of Scooby-Doo (or as the vid spelled: Scobby lol) and Mr. Wonka. The ULTIMATE child saving team!
Stranger danger is a lot scarier these days because there's so many ways for a man to get caught trying to lure somebody that they would probably instead just try to latch onto them before they realize what's going on and drag them away. If they're set on targeting you, then they're going to get hands-on as soon as your back is turned.
Don't even wait for a stranger to start speaking to you, and just run for the hills if they so much as keep staring at you or start to walk in your direction.
I was at the Mall of America today and it was packed to the walls. Malls still exist.
The pillow still packs a punch!
WAIT NO, WE WATCHED THIS WHEN I WAS IN LIKE 4TH GRADE. I remember because the scene where he says I’ll kill your dog made me laugh for some reason.
I’ve 100% been loving the classic style videos. Nice to see them return!!
The Intro of the last one is hilarious. It’s just like: “Literally everyone around you is dangerous and a threat to you. Don’t talk to anyone. Trust no one”
Remember kids, when a stranger try’s to talk to you. Run away and tell an adult.. which could also be a stranger but they are adults here so it’s ok.
Remember do not contact 911,or talk with a police officer, they are strangers to you. And remember what we said. Strangers won’t help you call scooby doo.
You goofy dude, I love the hell out of you! Watching your vids makes my day better, and lets me bond with my little brother. I'm 35 and he's 3 years younger. Keep doing what you're doing, it's working!
This brings me back to 2016, 2017... Peanut is back!!!
NO WAY, old Chatronic! Even the old logo. My heart is complete
Honestly, calling Scooby-Doo is a dumb idea
*you heard Wreck-It-Ralph man earlier*
Oh yes old format is back I love watching this alot
