Actually, the PSA with the man running in a circle is pretty smart. It's a metaphor for how drugs can become a vicious cycle until the user eventually fades away and dies. The End.
5:02 Actually, this one makes a lot of sense. It's saying that if you do drugs, when you get addicted, your whole life suddenly spirals into an endless loop. You work hard to support yourself, but your addiction slowly gets the better of you. No matter what, you always find yourself wasting your money to support your bad habit. It's a visual message.
Chetna Suthar, Paul Reuben (pee wees actor) was caught publicly masturbating at a porno theatre. He was arrested and had to do that ad as a community service.

PSA: "This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?" Jon Tron: "Yeah, I got a few. So you're telling me that my brain on drugs is a nutritional breakfast? Should I just do some drugs?"
Can I see Cyborg winking at me complete with gleam? (Reference to another anti-drug PSA I'm pretty sure you all know if you were alive and watched TV regularly in 1984)
Fun fact: the woman in the revisioned “Brain On Drugs” PSA is played by Rachael Leigh Cook. And I find it much more effective than the original in what it portrays.
During The Nostalgia Critic commercial special, he reviewed a drug PSA that stars Captain Lou Albano from the Super Mario Bros Super Show. It ends with him saying, "...and if you do drugs, you'll go to hell before you die." As far as I'm concerned, I hope the Nostalgia Critic will never do drugs. Thank you, Critic!

To be fair to Paul Reubens...... 1) During this time he stayed in character for all public appearances. He was credited as "Pee-Wee Herman as Himself" 2) He wasn't ACTUALLY caught jerking off. He was caught in dragnet opperation during a time when porn wasn't as accepted. 3) Paul Reubens saw himself as a role model and as such tried to be the best role model he could be. Pee Wee merchandise was limited to only a few toys, he turned down MANY offers to junk food he saw as unhealthy to kids. A heavy smoker he never smoked in public and forbid cameras on set least a child see Pee-Wee lighting up. So an anti-drug PSA makes perfect sense.
There's one from when I was little that I will never forget. It's talk about seat belt safety and there's a cop couldn't make his daughter wear a seatbelt and then they got in a car accident and she died. I've no idea why but that one has stuck with me my entire life
There’s a similar one for drinking and driving from a company called THINK road safety. A group of guys are in the pub drinking and one member turns down another drink. Saying he’s the designated driver. They then spot a woman as she’s heads to the bar. You then see as if from the outside and hear the noises from a car crash. The woman is thrown across the pub into the bar. It’s stuck with me since I first saw it.
Can I see Cyborg winking at me complete with gleam? (Reference to another anti-drug PSA I'm pretty sure you all know if you were alive and watched TV regularly in 1984)
+Chopper Just to show how effective that one was until now I thought it was about eating random things you come across (ya know not just drugs, I mean like drinking bleach and eating poisonous berries)... I'm still not fully convinced that one was about drugs.
There's also the one with McGruff singing, "Users are losers, and losers and users, so don't use drugs, do-n't use drugs!" The "Be an original" paradox brings to mind the classic LIFE OF BRIAN scene: "You're all individuals." "WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS..." "I'm not!"
You forgot the one where the girl's bedroom fills with water and she drowns. That scared me into not doing drugs. And you forgot the one where Mario says you go to hell. I don't blame you for having trouble deciding on only 11. There are so many good ones.
The snake guy scared the living hell out of me as a kid. I was watching tv and then the commercial came on. Imagine how freaked out I was at the end of that particular PSA.
The last one with Peewee is true though, Dad told me that one of his friends son was at a funeral for this girl he was friends with whos grandmother had just passed away. She went to a party that night and tried drugs and had a reaction and died, little did she know she was back in the same church in a coffin herself that same night/early next day. The friends son had to go do a statement because he was the closest person to her that was seen with her last. PS: It was the DJ handing out the drugs.
Snake is one of the most disturbing psa commercial ever made, According facts from Villians Wiki, Snake was a drug dealer who appeared in a Public Service Announcement from Partnership For a Drug-Free America that was trying to teach potential drug users that drugs are dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. This Public Service Announcement in particular could be used as a Scare Em Straight tactic which was probably what the producers of the PSA were aiming for.
Oh man, you should do one on the After School Special called "Stoned," starring Scott Baio as the nerdy kid who starts smoking weed and turns into a delinquent. It's really a comedy masterpiece.
Being native to the year 2000, l wasn't around when "crack is wack" was a thing. l heard of it when l was 15, and instantly understood what it meant, but still thought that sounds like a good thing. Man, your bedazzled bell-bottoms are super wack!

There were one or two that I wasn't familiar with growing up, or at least don't remember, but most of these brought back a lot of memories of television back in the day. Especially the Snake Guy one and the dude walking in circles. Now, unlike the NC I kinda got the point of that one. The guy was basically operating on circular logic. The substance abuse helped him to stay awake so he could work longer and earn more, but he kept spending it on the drugs that allowed him to do this, so he could keep the cycle going, until it consumed him and he died or burned out and lost everything.
"Peewee" and "The Brain" "Peewee" and "The Brain" One is too serious And the other's insane. Attempting prevention of drug use, Actors smash eggs and tell the truth. It's Peewee... Peewee Herman... and Egg Brain Brain Brain Brain Brains.
my favorite from the late eighties would be the Bravestarr episode "the price" ... it was one of the few PSA's that actually knew the difference between pulling and nerfing your punches.
Wow. I actually remember the Star Wars one from when I was a kid. Though I can't see the brain on drugs one without picturing Freddy Kruger slamming Johnny Depp in the face with the frying pan in Nightmare On Elm Street 6.

Or complaints that its only black person doing the PSA and not a white dude or an asian girl, or a transgender person, or a person that likes the same gender. All this complaint on being PC or Equal that they go overboard on....
***** really ? nicotine ? in pot ? wat ? unless you're rolling your joints with tobacco there shouldn't be any nicotine. but yes, if you roll your shit with tobacoo, you end up taking in more nicotine since there is no filter.
the one that i remember that i dont ever see anyone talking about is a cowboy was riding a horse smoking. then it talks about second ahnd smoke then a loud noise of dread with a horses skull flashing and crying out in pain... then smokin kills. it always scared me as a kid. that poor horse!!
My uncle had to interview Raul Reubens once back when Pee Wee was really popular. He hated the experience. Reubens insisted in doing the interview in character.
believe it or not my 2 favorite drug PSAs were actually hour long episodes. 1 was in the first season of Star Trek TNG the other was near the end of Andromeda's 1st season. both tackled the subject of addiction in a very respectful way
It sure seems like Doug stands more with drugs than against them. He's willing to make fun of psa's and joke about how doing drugs is fine. Screw the beginning if he's not going to stick to the mindset of "Don't do drugs".
You missed the entire intro. For the 1st 45 seconds, he lists all the reasons not to use illegal drugs. Which is more than anyone can say about 2/3 of the anti-drug PSAs in existence.
@@charlesstebbins7207 You're kidding right? Reread my original comment to properly realize your mistake. Just in case, here is the sentence that already answers you. "Screw the beginning if he's not going to stick to the mindset of "Don't do drugs"."
@@YowLife The mindset of "don't do drugs"? What part of making fun of deliberately vague PSAs is telling people that it's okay to take drugs? Another thing. The biggest problem with DARE, anti-drug PSAs, & the so called "war on drugs", is that they completely ignore the fact that all illegal street drugs & many beneficial medications share the same source. Both Vicodin & Heroin come from Opium. Dexosyn & Cocaine both come from the Coca plant. Glucocorticoid is a steroid, used to treat cardiovascular disease. Hell, insulin is actually grown inside of Tobacco leaves. I'm serious, you can look it up. The point is, that closed-minded individuals, like yourself, would probably destroy all of these highly beneficial plants, just because a few morons use them to get high. "Drug are trash, only if used incorrectly". It's not as catchy, but far more accurate.
If used properly, they won't be harmful unless they're past the expiration date. If used improperly, watch these 11 videos to get the point. Or talk to your parents. They're more reliable than television.
Depending on which ones, they can be some of the most addictive and dangerous (opiates or benzos). Just do your research. Don't take other people opinions about drugs become your own opinion.
Ahhh a proud tradition that goes on to this day. Anyone looking for some more over the top and hilarious drug PSA's should check out the recently released Australian ones with the sloth.
The crazy girl with the frying pan didn't really teach anybody about drugs, but it did teach my brother to be completely terrified of women when he was younger.
Actually, the PSA with the man running in a circle is pretty smart. It's a metaphor for how drugs can become a vicious cycle until the user eventually fades away and dies. The End.
I think that he was so high on cocaine that he started running so fast that he went faster than the speed of light and time traveled.
Smart metaphors like this are dumb when you target them at kids, they don't understand them.
@@DarthSironos Some of these aren't targeted at kids though. Some are for adults. After all, neither should use a lot if not any of these drugs.
@@Darkko88 sounds like an endorsement
Exactly, its probably the most truthful and best drug PSA

I was born in 1984 so I grew up watching these peas during the late 80's& although put the 90's&the early 2000's Doug. 😇😉
6:00 holy shit if that came out today the cries for racism would be incredible lol
Or complaints that its only black person doing the PSA and not a white dude or an asian girl, or a transgender person, or a person that likes the same gender. All this complaint on being PC or Equal that they go overboard on....
@@Willy2000ization wow both of you are total losers
"I'm not a chicken. ...I'm a broom!"
I got that reference 😂
@@kyliethelittlespider-mangirl94 Glad u did lolololololol
pot aint a drug tho, so im fine.
right ?
RIGHT ?
+Yann G Well there is more nicotine in pot than tobacco, so take that in mind...
***** really ? nicotine ? in pot ? wat ?
unless you're rolling your joints with tobacco there shouldn't be any nicotine. but yes, if you roll your shit with tobacoo, you end up taking in more nicotine since there is no filter.
It is a drug, but its legality varies by state
+ZeDawgear facepalm
+ZeDawgear Who told you that - unfriend this person immediately
the one that i remember that i dont ever see anyone talking about is a cowboy was riding a horse smoking. then it talks about second ahnd smoke then a loud noise of dread with a horses skull flashing and crying out in pain... then smokin kills. it always scared me as a kid. that poor horse!!
But nostalgia critic laughter is amazing for your health you probably added years of life to all your viewers also don't be a turkey be a chicken
that psa with the end does make sense. I've known people who live like the way the psa did. alone in a empty room or home spazzing out.
Ah, a classic.
My uncle had to interview Raul Reubens once back when Pee Wee was really popular. He hated the experience. Reubens insisted in doing the interview in character.
loading your bong when he says "what I'm sure is medicinal in your hand" ... -_- why you watching nostalgia critic ?
believe it or not my 2 favorite drug PSAs were actually hour long episodes. 1 was in the first season of Star Trek TNG the other was near the end of Andromeda's 1st season. both tackled the subject of addiction in a very respectful way
The TNG episode is Symbiosis. And it had to come right before Skin of Evil, in which Tasha dies. 😭
It sure seems like Doug stands more with drugs than against them. He's willing to make fun of psa's and joke about how doing drugs is fine. Screw the beginning if he's not going to stick to the mindset of "Don't do drugs".
You missed the entire intro. For the 1st 45 seconds, he lists all the reasons not to use illegal drugs. Which is more than anyone can say about 2/3 of the anti-drug PSAs in existence.

You're kidding right? Reread my original comment to properly realize your mistake.
Just in case, here is the sentence that already answers you.
"Screw the beginning if he's not going to stick to the mindset of "Don't do drugs"."
@@YowLife The mindset of "don't do drugs"? What part of making fun of deliberately vague PSAs is telling people that it's okay to take drugs?
Another thing. The biggest problem with DARE, anti-drug PSAs, & the so called "war on drugs", is that they completely ignore the fact that all illegal street drugs & many beneficial medications share the same source. Both Vicodin & Heroin come from Opium. Dexosyn & Cocaine both come from the Coca plant. Glucocorticoid is a steroid, used to treat cardiovascular disease. Hell, insulin is actually grown inside of Tobacco leaves. I'm serious, you can look it up.
The point is, that closed-minded individuals, like yourself, would probably destroy all of these highly beneficial plants, just because a few morons use them to get high. "Drug are trash, only if used incorrectly". It's not as catchy, but far more accurate.
"It sounds like some kind of Zen riddle."
"IT'S NOT POP TARTS!!!"
"WHAT... WHAT THE FU-"
Happy New year, Doug! Thanks, I like this vidio!
What about prescription drugs?
Even the caffeine in everyone's coffee?
no9 drugs drugs drugs ask your mom or ask your dad drugs drugs drugs!
If used properly, they won't be harmful unless they're past the expiration date. If used improperly, watch these 11 videos to get the point. Or talk to your parents. They're more reliable than television.
Wikipedia is more reliable than TV.
Depending on which ones, they can be some of the most addictive and dangerous (opiates or benzos). Just do your research. Don't take other people opinions about drugs become your own opinion.
Nice touch with Left Hand Suzuki Method for the segways.
this was hilarious
+Jordan “Rouge” Inman This is a rape whistle.
canada damn.
I remember watching this back in 2008
RIP Pee Wee Herman, you wacko
Ahhh a proud tradition that goes on to this day. Anyone looking for some more over the top and hilarious drug PSA's should check out the recently released Australian ones with the sloth.
This is crack
-Pee-Wee Herman
The crazy girl with the frying pan didn't really teach anybody about drugs, but it did teach my brother to be completely terrified of women when he was younger.
