7:00- The perfect question. I love how they introduce these characters to us with a theme song even though they were never featured in any other ad. I also love how they don't really show any real dangers a kid would face in real life and instead just focus on a few dangers that apply to their messed up reality.
A game whose quality doesn't matter because of bad timing. When people want their new Super Metroid (only with the open-endedness being INTENTIONAL) or Prime, and they get a serviceable, but generic co-op FPS...
I screamed with happiness to see this in my feed. And laughed all the way through and cried at the end. Man I guess I'll just have to re-watch all the Hades Riffs again.
I almost forgot, some of the US military channels (like AFN) tended to have some rather bizarre PSAs, too. I should know this, because these were some of the few English speaking channels (other than Sky One, and another British channel I forgot the name of) that were available to me when I was living in Germany (dad was is in military, and we had to live in Germany for 10 years due to dad being stationed in multiple U.S. bases there).
My god, the memories. I can only think of maybe one or two ads here I never saw as a kid, but most of these I did. That one with the mice came on a lot. I still remember how my siblings and I used to always laugh at the mention of 'Uncle Fred'. I dunno, something about that name just made us laugh. I also remember feeling so insulted by that ad with the robot. The way she says 'I can put my arm back on, you can't' always sounded like she was bragging.
I rewatched some of these just the other day and thought "I wonder if Alex will ever do another Hades Riffs" and lo and behold another one comes out. Great video and great work, I absolutely love these videos they're some of my favourite on TH-cam. Thank you Alex.
I never expected to see another addition to this series. Watching these always put a smile on my face. Very interested in that Zelda Universe: Hades' Misguidance that you mentioned.
I haven't watched the video yet but I just want to express just how happy I am to see this in my subscription box! I thought I would never see another Hades Riff again and I am so glad you haven't stopped making them just yet.
Sam Sears It can't be his last one. He's just working on other things as well as stuff like this. If we wait patiently, we will eventually get another one.
No rape whistle psa? We all watch nostalgia critic, and we know you do too, so why leave it out? We don't care if you copied him, you took one of the psa's he covered, so why not all 3?
+Alex Rochon Same thing with the sous-chef slipping on the grease and scalding her face? That's part of the There Really Are No Accidents campaign, and you showed the one with the man coming back to life claiming that he wasn't taught how to work with high-voltage wires.
9:58 HOLY SHIT, THAT'S A LARGE SAUSAGE! Also, alex, since you're back with hades riffs, look up something called highschool dxd. i'm curious about the kind of riffing material you can make out of the first episode of that anime.
I really don't know what's worse the fact I actually saw all these on tv as a kid when they came out or the fact that I remember them completely and they still make me laugh.
I never thought in my entire life that I would miss Hades' beautiful trollish face riffing on something. . . . . When I saw this in my inbox, I was like *"HE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK~!"* XD
Wow, the "Storytime" ad makes a lot less sense than I first remember. The "Stay Alert, Stay Safe" ad at least had a catchy tune, and I did like the illusions, so that's probably the most memorable one to me.
Boy, you should see some of the commercials I watched in French class. Still, my buddy Jack would love this video. I'm going to show this to him and see what he has to say XD
I remember those commercials when I was a kid. They were some of my least favourite commercials because they always got stuck in my head, but not in a good way.
0:11-0:41 How do staying fit and retrieving Pokémon cards (most likely the rest of Hades’ Pidgeys) go together? In what world is that a reality? I think Canada needs to do a rain check on that.
*_HONEY, THE KIDS FOUND FRED'S TORTURE DEVICE!!!_*
A new Hades Riffs came out before Half Life 3 did. Let that sink in.
Gabe gotta step his game up asap.
fuck half life 3, this came out before kingdom hearts 3!
I'm pretty sure DSP will stop being a terrible person before Half Life 3 comes out.
Yeah.
Asriel Dreemenov Heck both will come out before a new Suicoden game or a new season of TOME
@@lindthechaoticheretic8708 now kh3 will come out before hl3. Goddammit, Valve.
#SaveHadesRiffs
Let's make it happen, people.

Oh God, the "Don't Put it in Your Mouth" segment had me laugh so much!
If this truly is the last Hades Riffs, then sir it went out on a high note! This was hilarious!

As a Canadian, a lot of these things are nostalgic to me. Honestly, I never thought I'd see them being addressed by a semi-popular TH-camr like you.
Not to sound like a "le wrong generation" kid but late 90s to early to mid 2000s YTV was lit.
Still miss Bionix
I'm glad Alex is still making content on his channel. I love hearing him talk like Hades. It's so awesome!
"To be fair, these visuals are still better than federation force" Oh that is AWFUL. (I'm laughing so much)
And according to the review by SomecallmeJohnny it doesn't even seem to be that bad.
A game whose quality doesn't matter because of bad timing. When people want their new Super Metroid (only with the open-endedness being INTENTIONAL) or Prime, and they get a serviceable, but generic co-op FPS...
Man, Canadians have the weirdest commercials and squirt guns...
We do have weird commercials, but nothing compares to Japanese ads.
Oh, I see what you did there!
Ahhh yes. The Canadian Squirt gun. Perfect for old western showdowns and saloon shootouts.
and weird whistles
We do
I screamed with happiness to see this in my feed. And laughed all the way through and cried at the end. Man I guess I'll just have to re-watch all the Hades Riffs again.
The title alone makes this an instant 10/10. If you don't live in Canada, you don't know how screwed up our PSA's can get.
Dude, Alex, You've just put Doug walker's commentary on "don't put it in your mouth" to shame. Cudos
adam favuzzi He put it in their mouth
Can you do more Hades Riffs on other PSAs sometime? Like have some from Great Britain, Ireland, or even down under in Australia.
I almost forgot, some of the US military channels (like AFN) tended to have some rather bizarre PSAs, too. I should know this, because these were some of the few English speaking channels (other than Sky One, and another British channel I forgot the name of) that were available to me when I was living in Germany (dad was is in military, and we had to live in Germany for 10 years due to dad being stationed in multiple U.S. bases there).

Oh god, that last one killed me
I can't wait until Hades' Misguidance!
Oooh that sounds fun.
Jay M for all the smash characters :D
*****
Awesome
TV: Hey what ya watching? ME!
AGH!
That was my reaction to
Oooooh, I freakin' love Hades! Please do more of these videos they're hillarious and Hades is hawt ;3c
Not sure whether to be impressed or concerned that I still remember most of these commercials clearly.
Hades riff must continue on!
I so miss the Hades Riffs videos.
I rewatched some of these just the other day and thought "I wonder if Alex will ever do another Hades Riffs" and lo and behold another one comes out. Great video and great work, I absolutely love these videos they're some of my favourite on TH-cam. Thank you Alex.
Why didn't I see this in my subscriptions the day you uploaded this? I love this series so much!
ALEX HAS RETURNED FROM THE WAR
Haha I remember these commercials from when I was younger. That was seriously awesome, with Hades doing commentary XD.
Thank you so much! It was a real trip down memory lane. Im also quite happy to see something new for you.
I never expected to see another addition to this series. Watching these always put a smile on my face. Very interested in that Zelda Universe: Hades' Misguidance that you mentioned.

Well it does looks like it's your last one, well it's a good one to go off on.
Sam Sears It can't be his last one. He's just working on other things as well as stuff like this. If we wait patiently, we will eventually get another one.
No rape whistle psa? We all watch nostalgia critic, and we know you do too, so why leave it out? We don't care if you copied him, you took one of the psa's he covered, so why not all 3?
That PSA's too new; wanted to go entirely retro with the selection. Besides, I feel like it'd just end up being one joke.
I remember watching these things before school everyday
That's fair enough, I did kind of regret typing that after posting it, it was a great video, though
WHAT THE FUCK CANADA!?
+Alex Rochon Same thing with the sous-chef slipping on the grease and scalding her face? That's part of the There Really Are No Accidents campaign, and you showed the one with the man coming back to life claiming that he wasn't taught how to work with high-voltage wires.
Keep this series going please. I love it.
This was amazing! I remember seeing these all the time on the television growing up. xD
THANK YOOOOUUU! I was hoping another one of these would be made!
10:07 Okay, I need to say it:
"GO HOME, HADES!!!"
I really think that a riff of the first episode of Monster Musume would be hilarious. Especially with the orgasm scene.
If he can prevent it getting him a copyright strike, sure.
Maybe he could it Rifftrax style and just make it an audio track.
It's BAAAACK! Yay! Kind of sad we won't see any more but I look forward to whatever you got planned next!
HADES LIVES ONCE AGAIN! BOW DOWN MORTALS! (immediately bows)
9:58 HOLY SHIT, THAT'S A LARGE SAUSAGE! Also, alex, since you're back with hades riffs, look up something called highschool dxd. i'm curious about the kind of riffing material you can make out of the first episode of that anime.
I miss these. Thank you for continuing these Alex!
Geezus, you just resurrected a huge part of my childhood. For the worst or better is still up in the air.
It's nice to see you doing these again Alex!
I fucking love you for bringing these all back to memory.
Hell, waited for this! always love your vids mate!
I think I just died from laughing too much at the last psa!XD
Oh God, I totally forgot about that PSA with the rat puppets. It brings me back, that's for sure.
I really don't know what's worse the fact I actually saw all these on tv as a kid when they came out or the fact that I remember them completely and they still make me laugh.
Nice to see you are still doing these, I really like them
"My soul was ripped out through my eyeballs!"
Hades, have you been watching Malthael at work one time too many?
I never thought in my entire life that I would miss Hades' beautiful trollish face riffing on something. . . . .
When I saw this in my inbox, I was like *"HE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK~!"* XD
Man this is bringing me back my childhood again! With Hades making this more comedic!
So you're still doing these......Awesome! I miss these! Glad you're not down and out yet.
Hades Riff on That 9 minute Rumble Pak Commercial...from Nintendo Power.
you can hear the unbridled joy in his voice at the "dont you put it in your mouth" psa
Alex I entirely thought you were gonna break character laughing at the "Don't put it in your mouth" part.
Omg. I remember almost every one of these. they drove me nuts as a kid how much they were played. I guess that's how I remember them so vividly.
Good to see you're back, Alex. And with a Hades Riffs, too!
Today on "Things I Never Expected To See In A TH-cam Thumbnail"
Man, and I was just asking somebody if they remembered that TV, like, two days ago.
Even if this is the final Hades riff I'm glad to have seen one more. Thanks for being an inspiration for me for so long Alex.
Oh my gods, I thought I'd actually see Hades himself before I saw another Hades Riffs video, thank you so much for this! :D
I remember that first PSA would play every other commercial break on TV.
As a Canadian who has seen many of these throughout my childhood this is such a nostalgia trip
Long live, Hades
First Hades' Misguidance, and now Hades just riffs into whatever he finds? Man, this guy loves his job... talking about both Hades and his fandubber.
He let the word muffin lass him by; no wonder Medusa was happy to punch him in the face.
Oh, god. It's painful just how vividly I remember almost all of these.
Wow, the "Storytime" ad makes a lot less sense than I first remember.
The "Stay Alert, Stay Safe" ad at least had a catchy tune, and I did like the illusions, so that's probably the most memorable one to me.
We really need more of these
OMG your are the AUTARCH OF FLAME i thought your were gene happy to see you are stil doing your thing
A NEW HADES RIFF HAS APPEARED.
WEEKEND JUST GOT BETTER!
Goodness, I remember seeing so many of these growing up. It wasn't until I was older I realized how bizarre they were.
Ironically I said this series should continue yesterday when I found it. Amazing.
I love your characterization of Hades. If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is canon.
seeing a notification of hades riff, it fills me with determination.
It's good to see that these will still be made!
Yes, I know I'm late.
I have so missed these!!!
Holy shit I remember seeing almost ALL of these as a kid!!! THE MEMORIES!!!
Oooooh, I wonder if that whistle commercial will be in here.
"It's a rape whistle."
Nostalgia Critic: ...What the fuck, Canada?!
It's been a while since the last Hades Riffs, but it's worth the wait.
Boy, you should see some of the commercials I watched in French class. Still, my buddy Jack would love this video. I'm going to show this to him and see what he has to say XD
Well this is a pleasant surprise in my sub box... And it's about Canadian PSAs... OH THIS WAS MAGNIFICENT.
House Hippo was the best commercial! Me and everyone else I knew wanted one.
Most of those commercials had me asking "What was the message?"
Great job as always, Alex!
Please do more hades riffs they’re hilarious
We need a part two to the Canadian Commercials now. You did this to yourself, Alex.
I remember those commercials when I was a kid. They were some of my least favourite commercials because they always got stuck in my head, but not in a good way.
That "War Amps" animation looks like the handiwork of MainFrame.
Holy crap. I never thought you'd do another one.
Man, I really wish Alex will do more of these.... 😞
I just laughed loud at the last one I LOVE YOU HADES I CAN'T BREATH
Keep doing more Hades Riff. too much entertainment. xD
0:11-0:41 How do staying fit and retrieving Pokémon cards (most likely the rest of Hades’ Pidgeys) go together? In what world is that a reality? I think Canada needs to do a rain check on that.
OMG. I remember watching most of these PSAs when I was kid.
At the "The visuals are still better than Federation Force" my mind was screaming "RE-BOOT'S COMING BACK?!"
I remember these........ and I wonder how I never have nightmares about these.
I forgot how much I love these.
Oh god, 7:35 just revived my repressed memories of recurring nightmares from when I was 5 years old. O_o
I died at the "don't put it in your mouth" part...
Got to say this but I remember most of these PSA like geez its a nostalgia.trip.
