In Canada, we had this amazing PSA called "House Hippos," which was a fake documentary about miniature hippos living in Canadian houses like mice. The PSA was about not believing everything you see on TV and asking questions about the media you consumed, but in reality all the PSA did was make every kid in my class wish they had pet house hippos.
Dark, unnerve PSAs are way more practical than the cheesy ones. The best way to get a message across is to show how severe and real the danger of the issue stands.
yeah i think ur right bc the most effective psas ive seen were the ones that didn't exaggerate so much and were more grounded like this one that I saw about makeup testing on animals where the only thing they did was anthropomorphize the rabbits that were being tested to show how much it hurt them
The best PSA i have ever seen start off as a classical anti bullying ad where you see a kid getting bullied, insulted etc... the only unusual thing is that it seem to focus on the bully rather than on the victim/witness. At one point you see the bully in the classroom cracking jokes about the poor kid with his friends when the teacher come in the room and say that the kid won't come, the bully thinking nothing of it ask something along the line of "oh he's too afraid" and the teacher respond that no, he's dead, killed himself last night. Whole class go silent, you can see the expression of absolute shock and horror on the bully face, it then go fast forward 50 or so years, you see a middle aged man with a look of regret on his face, he is revealed to have been the narrator all along, he say that he didn't realised the evil he was doing until it was too late and now he has to live haunted every day by the fact he is responsible for the death of a kid. That's when it hit you, this wasn't a fictionnal ad, this was a testimony, it just suddenly come real. It has to be the best depiction of the effect of bullying i have ever seen, you are a 12 y old kid, cracking jokes, having fun and then one day you are a murderer, you didn't want this, but you are, you destroyed a family witouth even realising and its too fucking late. Seen it happen live when i was a kid. 11 year old dude, we talked a few time even tho i was around 1 year older as we were both regular at the school library. He was the smart type, intelligent af, well liked by the teachers, also super kind from what i remembered, never had any trouble with anyone. Well, we knew he was getting picked on by his classmate because he wasn't tall, intelligent and frankly looked a bit odd (Classy as hell, big coat and the exact same haircut as captain harlock) We didn't think much of it until one day we come in school and i learn he's just fucking dead, like, it felt unreal, then i look at his classmates, mf all had that dead stare of shock, and then we have the head bully, y'know that one kid who's popular and is the one picking on kids and the other just follow him. Well, as soon as he learned what happened he snapped and ranned off to hide somewhere, took a knife and started butchering his wrist, the school was small so he was caught quick and sent to the hospital but damn, the expression on his face, like, we all thought that if we see a bully in real life we'd kill him, but truth is, there was no work left to do, he knew what he had done, he may still be breathing but he was dead, he likely hasn't even recovered yet, and its been almost 10 years. Needless to say that PSA sticked with me when i saw it like a few month after that. So yeah, morale of the story, be kind to people, don't be a dick.
I remember seeing this one really good PSA, I think it was called “Real kids don’t bounce back.” It had a cartoon child being pushed around by an angry dad and doing all those goofy cartoon stretchy stuff instead of getting hurt. Near the end the dad ended up throwing the kid down the stairs and when you would expect to see, idunno, a flattened cartoon kid, it was an actual child facedown at the foot of the stairs.
@@ZanWhen BRO I SHARE THE SAME STORY. I'm just past midterms, having some family issues and darn near had a mental breakdown myself. Seeing a video from degenerocity just has a way of lifting moods. Hope you get better bro!
One psa that really scared me recently was one where it starts out like some back to school commercial where the kids are appreciating all the things their parents are getting them and then in a scene in the hallway a school shooting starts and kids like “I’m glad my mom got me these running shoes” as he’s running down the hallway past corpses. There is another kid who breaks a window with a skateboard. And it ends with a kid saying “I’m glad my mom bought me this new phone” as she texts hot mom saying “I love you” and I was depressed for the rest of the day… Thank god I’m homeschooled.
here’s a psa i might never forget: it starts out as this polaroid of a guy having a good time. then his face starts to get concerned and depressed. he gots spots, rotted teeth, panic and anxiety attacks, and paranoia, as well as anger issues. then it suddenly transforms to a troll who’s face is so deformed it belongs to a cartoon, before melting away leaving darkness. it was a drug psa from the scot’s against speed, ecstasy and acid. but damn if my polaroid developed like that i’d be scared for life.
The best psa I've seen was a commercial that started out as a back to school type thing. It then transitioned to the students talking about their supplies and using them to escape an active shooter. It ends with a girl texting her mom that she loves her while hiding in a bathroom stall and silently crying. She has her eyes closed and is bracing herself, nodding as she accepts her fate.
the one psa that will always stick with me is the one where the kids are showing their new back to school stuff (backpacks, clothes, new pencil bags, ect) and in the middle of when theyre showing it off, they start running and panicking from a school shooter. its always stuck with me because like, even though ill be a junior in highschool this year and only have two years left, it still scares me that it will happen to me one day.
I’ll never forget the anti-smoking psa featuring superman, mainly because it had a British guy as Superman clearly trying to do an American accent and the villain, Nick O’tine, was caked up beyond comprehension.
@@aranxtil5554 I’m more referring to the one where he’s shown crawling away after being foiled and you see his ass for a few frames. Maybe not very caked up, but caked up regardless.
I remember those creepy smoking ads. I hated hearing that in the middle of the night. I feel bad bc they're sick but I was like, a kid. I watch a lot of PSA compilations on TH-cam and the ones from other countries are nightmare fuel. Like, anxiety inducing
Same and I saw terry recently and ngl I screamed and lost sleep but ads like hers are the reason i've never smoked or vape and not plan to and even people who vape themselves have told me not to bc they now have trouble running
@@sakuramune_ honestly I used to think like you until I effed around and got addicted to vaping. I can't go without it and I'm extremely emotional when I withdrawal. It'll be a year later this month (February) as I had a friend at an old job let me take hits from her vape. I started buying my own with my paychecks and the rest is history. I know I need to stop but I'm so codependent on it. I already suffer from mental illness so it's really hard for me. I live in a family of addicts. My mom's vice was alcohol and my aunt's was cigarettes
5:16 Peta are making ads like this, but then you look at the spinoff games they make. Why tf you showing that to kids? That's gonna traumatise them, not teach them.
I don’t know why, but those PSA episodes of shows appealed to me so much more than other episodes as a kid. I don’t even know why, it was just so special to me
The PSAs that always stick with me the most are the ones that are a mixture between both live-action and cartoons. Two examples of these PSAs was this British child abuse PSA, and the other was this Alice in Wonderland PSA where a girl dies in her sleep from an asthma attack.
did you see the one thats like a normal neighborhood until someone steps on a landmine and then it just turns into a Graphic Rendition of someone's foot getting obliterated bc of it
I grew up with the “can anyone think of a reason why smoking isn’t stupid” ads. There was the one where the girl licks all the trash cans, and another where a girl is trying to wax her lip because the cigs have fucked up her hormones. My favorite was the animated one that featured a sort of smoking assembly line because it closely resembled the ads for a retro toy store in my city.
The wierdest PSA/biggest shock ad i really remember watching. It was about self harm and it started off by this girl picking up a razor and bringing it to her wrists. The next day she had a red sleeve over her arm to "indicate" the blood i guess. And it showed her trying to take it off but it was apart of her skin indicating that the scars cant be removed. It showed a clip of her at the dinner table shaking her legs which had red shorts on them. It zoomed in on her crying and then It showed another clip of her the next day with a red jumpsuit on scratching her skin begging god to remove it from her body. I guess the ad was trying to show how self harm can become addictive and how once the scars are on your body they are there forever. I was traumatized as hell it was just disturbing
I remember being really into these videos about creepy PSAs when I was younger for some reason. So some of these I remember pretty well. I recently came across this creepy ads and PSAs iceberg and at the very bottom, in the abyss, the last PSA and the last entry was this one called shoeboxes and it scarred me for life.
@vanillaicespice about Rwandan children dying, and using shoeboxes as coffins. "We know you hate being asked for money, so send in your old shoeboxes. We're running out of coffins "
6:11 i think i got the message they were trying to tell us so when you do drugs, you go crazy and lose control like something is controlling u and u can't escape till you stop being high. in the ad, they said "they never surrendered, till they were free" it's like you can't stop doing crazy ahh things and being under control till you stop being high or smth. tbh this explanation looks like total bs but i think that was the message they were trying to tell us
@@CIKwastaken i guess not in the beginning when u first take drugs, but after being more addicted to it and try to stop u can't as if the drugs r forcing u to take more
Our teacher once showed us these Asian PSAs, where there were these really tragic or heartwarming stories that made the company logo that showed up in the end seem ridiculously out of place, like a high school student who dumped all his savings to helping people, and eventually getting a beggar's daughter to be able to go to school, and another homeless person who annoyed a store owner, until one day he realised that the very same homeless dude was keeping his store safe and clean from vandals during closing hours, before he died from robbers All those stories always made me cry in the end, until I realised it was an advert
Those weren't even PSAs, those were ads for some Thai insurance company. Thai ads in general are just insane-there's a great one about roof tiles with CG lizards, and an _Elden Ring_ trailer framed as a soap opera. It's amazing.
The Super Mario Brother's Super Show sequence reminded me of "Luigi, don't be a dinophobe, it takes all colors to make a rainbow. Except black, there's no black in a rainbow."
saw a PSA that still scares me from SHP (sandy hook promise, they make good psas) and we were following a story of a kid who writes on a library desk every day and someone responds. Then, he asks who it is and before he can read it the library shuts down. Fast forward to them getting yearbooks, a girl asks him to sign her yearbook. He does and the girl recognizes his handwriting and they’re like, “oh you were the table writer!” After a few seconds, a shooter walks in and everyone is screaming. Then, the PSA plays again, but this time it highlights the shooter showing signs, like him being bullied or him looking at guns online, etc. It then tells us that we need to notice the signs of shootings before they happen. Really holds the watcher accountable. FYI, the PSA is called “Evan” I believe
My favorite ones were the Drunk Driving commercials where the officer would open the door and a damn tidal wave of alcohol comes out then he asks "Sir have you been drinking tonight?"
Yeah it is at first I was like “umm” 👀 but then thinking about it the more you use and get addicted you are becoming a slave to the drug so it makes a lot of sense
Yeah but using slavery, thousands- no millions of lives wasted to help others being equated to smoking drugs at your own will is kinda messed up. You can’t evaluate drugs with slavery bro.
Watching this video reminded me of that one PSA about wearing your seat belt, the mom basically gets her head crushed by her son (who wasn't wearing a seat belt) when he slams against her seat when they break to hard. I was like 8 and it traumatized the crap out of me
for me,more scary than weird,has to be the psa 'Guinea Pig' by Drug-Free Singapore The creepy-scratch tune playing in the background,the background visuals and the man convulsing with his eyes rolled back still gives me chills to this day, although it has become less scarier after seeing it multiple times
i remember having a dvd of the super mario super show and seeing the episode true colors, i still occasionally bring up in conversations that ludwig and larry koopa canonically started a race war in the super mario bros super show. because at least it's a good icebreaker
Speaking of Peta ads, One day while I was chilling on my computer watching memes, I got a black screen with some NIGHTMARE FUEL-type sounds coming out of my speakers. At the end of the PSA , it said: "Sometimes you can't unhear their screams." They probably took a clip of a screech owls because the PSA was about screech owls and animal testing. A few days ago, I asked my dad if that sound was demons in h3ll or an animal screaming. He said it was a screech owl.
yeah, peta does that. there are two ads, which i am NOT linking, that are basically that, but about pigs in factory farms and elephants in circus training facility. also their sequel(?), peta2, has a bear psa (talked about here th-cam.com/video/alYklhyUAr8/w-d-xo.html but not fully shown), which literally shows a man being stabbed in the head with a metal rod and stuff, so yeah. (average pif wiki browser i know)
4:31 Those PSA bullying ones from my childhood were so annoying. I'm glad they were supporting a good cause, but damn bro they are real mood killers! Thanks a lot Cartoon Network for ruining my good mood.
The PSA with the dog taking a smoke outside and going “I’m a dog, what’s your excuse” really confused me as a kid. Like I remember I just staring at the TV trying to figure out what dogs had to do with smoking 😂
3:19 I saw that cartoon and I always found it uncanny as a kid because Mario and Luigi didn’t have Italian accents. Yes, I was *scared* of Mario and Luigi because they didn’t have Italian accents.
One thing that I noticed is that American driving PSAs have caught up with the rest of the world, like the rest of the world will show brutal accidents with blood and death while up until 10 years ago our ads would just be like a race car driver say something like "On the track, I like to go fast, but on the road I drive responsibly"
For the people who don't know, "Here is the full clip explaining why dad left you: (Making fun of bots) " is also a bot meant to trick you into believing them, making you more likely to click the link.
I was T R A U M A T I Z E D as a kid from a cancer (I believe it was a breast cancer) PSA. I only remember hearing the noise of it and then running away from the tv until it was over. I have not seen that PSA in many years and idk if I watch it again as an adult will trigger me again how it did when I was 4 or 5.
@@shyguy85 If I did, I would tell you but I was really small when I saw it. I think it’s just the music or sound they used that scared me when they were aiming for something else.

so when you do drugs, you go crazy and lose control like something is controlling u and u can't escape till you stop being high. in the ad, they said "they never surrendered, till they were free" it's like you can't stop doing crazy ahh things and being under control till you stop being high or smth. tbh this explanation looks like total bs but i think that was the message they were trying to tell us
But am I forced to do the drugs
@@CIKwastaken i guess not in the beginning when u first take drugs, but after being more addicted to it and try to stop u can't as if the drugs r forcing u to take more
Our teacher once showed us these Asian PSAs, where there were these really tragic or heartwarming stories that made the company logo that showed up in the end seem ridiculously out of place, like a high school student who dumped all his savings to helping people, and eventually getting a beggar's daughter to be able to go to school, and another homeless person who annoyed a store owner, until one day he realised that the very same homeless dude was keeping his store safe and clean from vandals during closing hours, before he died from robbers
All those stories always made me cry in the end, until I realised it was an advert
Those weren't even PSAs, those were ads for some Thai insurance company. Thai ads in general are just insane-there's a great one about roof tiles with CG lizards, and an _Elden Ring_ trailer framed as a soap opera. It's amazing.
...I think my teacher showed my class the exact same one...
The Super Mario Brother's Super Show sequence reminded me of
"Luigi, don't be a dinophobe, it takes all colors to make a rainbow. Except black, there's no black in a rainbow."
6:35
They mentioned crack twice
saw a PSA that still scares me from SHP (sandy hook promise, they make good psas) and we were following a story of a kid who writes on a library desk every day and someone responds. Then, he asks who it is and before he can read it the library shuts down. Fast forward to them getting yearbooks, a girl asks him to sign her yearbook. He does and the girl recognizes his handwriting and they’re like, “oh you were the table writer!” After a few seconds, a shooter walks in and everyone is screaming. Then, the PSA plays again, but this time it highlights the shooter showing signs, like him being bullied or him looking at guns online, etc. It then tells us that we need to notice the signs of shootings before they happen. Really holds the watcher accountable.
FYI, the PSA is called “Evan” I believe
5:57 had me dying 💀💀
Chainsaw noises
That cow could say the same
This part got 💀 4:09
My favorite ones were the Drunk Driving commercials where the officer would open the door and a damn tidal wave of alcohol comes out then he asks "Sir have you been drinking tonight?"

6:40 thats kinda true tho
Fr
Yeah it is at first I was like “umm” 👀 but then thinking about it the more you use and get addicted you are becoming a slave to the drug so it makes a lot of sense
the way they worded it is AWFUL tho

Yeah but using slavery, thousands- no millions of lives wasted to help others being equated to smoking drugs at your own will is kinda messed up. You can’t evaluate drugs with slavery bro.

3:00 naw the one where mario said "if you arent watching the super mario supper show, youll turn into a goomba" was the most funny psa
shit does not count but ok
Watching this video reminded me of that one PSA about wearing your seat belt, the mom basically gets her head crushed by her son (who wasn't wearing a seat belt) when he slams against her seat when they break to hard. I was like 8 and it traumatized the crap out of me
"Like most victims, Jamie knew her killer..."

The creepy-scratch tune playing in the background,the background visuals and the man convulsing with his eyes rolled back still gives me chills to this day, although it has become less scarier after seeing it multiple times
bro i dont get scared alot, but when i saw that psa, it was in my mind for 5 days
I’m picturing in my mind what it would look like
@@matteorussinoYou're one of the innocent ones. Never watch it because it truly is terrifying
i remember having a dvd of the super mario super show and seeing the episode true colors, i still occasionally bring up in conversations that ludwig and larry koopa canonically started a race war in the super mario bros super show. because at least it's a good icebreaker

Speaking of Peta ads, One day while I was chilling on my computer watching memes, I got a black screen with some NIGHTMARE FUEL-type sounds coming out of my speakers. At the end of the PSA , it said: "Sometimes you can't unhear their screams." They probably took a clip of a screech owls because the PSA was about screech owls and animal testing. A few days ago, I asked my dad if that sound was demons in h3ll or an animal screaming. He said it was a screech owl.
I saw that
yeah, peta does that. there are two ads, which i am NOT linking, that are basically that, but about pigs in factory farms and elephants in circus training facility. also their sequel(?), peta2, has a bear psa (talked about here th-cam.com/video/alYklhyUAr8/w-d-xo.html but not fully shown), which literally shows a man being stabbed in the head with a metal rod and stuff, so yeah. (average pif wiki browser i know)
I saw one where they showed a dog getting killed
I got that one too. PETA also aired an animal gore video at an in person gathering and it caused some people to become ill
@@Quesoquantum when did that happen?
The UK used to broadcast several weird/disturbing PSAs, you should do a video on those because some of them genuinely made me have trouble sleeping.
4:31 Those PSA bullying ones from my childhood were so annoying. I'm glad they were supporting a good cause, but damn bro they are real mood killers! Thanks a lot Cartoon Network for ruining my good mood.

The PSA with the dog taking a smoke outside and going “I’m a dog, what’s your excuse” really confused me as a kid. Like I remember I just staring at the TV trying to figure out what dogs had to do with smoking 😂

No TH-camr can make me laugh as consistently as Degenerocity.
One thing that I noticed is that American driving PSAs have caught up with the rest of the world, like the rest of the world will show brutal accidents with blood and death while up until 10 years ago our ads would just be like a race car driver say something like "On the track, I like to go fast, but on the road I drive responsibly"

I was T R A U M A T I Z E D as a kid from a cancer (I believe it was a breast cancer) PSA. I only remember hearing the noise of it and then running away from the tv until it was over. I have not seen that PSA in many years and idk if I watch it again as an adult will trigger me again how it did when I was 4 or 5.
That's a little too much. Maybe you have Anxiety issues?
