48 Minutes, 48 Views, I just thought it was a funny coincidence.
Another great vid 👍
I have psas as a major hyperfixation. They allow me to learn interesting and, admittedly, morbid fun facts and I love to dissect psas and the shock/scare tactics within them; and also, because I'm a trauma survivor, I like to psychoanalyse the effects psas have on their audiances.
Literally the only downside about this hyperfixation is that it's impossible to explain to others; gotta love infodumping to people who don't know about my mostly horror related hyperfixations and special interests and telling them cursed fun facts instead of trivia about trains or ponies 😭
I Aint reading allat 💀
They’re my biggest special interest atm.
PSAs are also one of my hyperfixations! It's fun knowing many disturbing thing and telling my friends! I watch PSA iceberg charts often, and i personally do research on the videos/companies! :)
@@CoolestJazzie same!! What’s ur fave PSA? :>
@@Ciaraahah Oh I have many favourites! My favourite actually has to be the Dumb ways to Die franchise! If you don't understand, Dumb ways to Die is really a big PSA on train safety, they show it around the end of the music videos train related deaths and the message "Be safe around trains, a message from Metro". I'm glad that the music video and games blew up! :)
I love PSAS and PIFS (the British equivalent). I love them because to me they are nostalgic as they aired all the time during Saturday morning cartoons in the 1970s-1990s. I remember one Saturday morning as a common example one day in the early 90s they had tmnt on. The first commerical was a cereal ad. The next ad was about cocaine and how it kills then the next ad was a happy toy ad lol that was pretty common for the time. We often got corny anti drug ads with cheesey rap songs. So to me they are just as nostalgic as the cartoons. Also kids went out alone more often then so many of these where geared towards kids so they knew what to do if offered drugs. There was no Google and your average kid didn't have a cell phone in 1990 and if it did it didn't have Internet for research as they where not at that level yet. So for me it's memories of a time I grew up in.
To be honest, for most of my life, I didn’t like PSAs. I love commercials, but I saw PSAs as the lowest forms of commercials-well, except for maybe informercials. Maybe I experienced some fatigue when it came to anti-drug ads, but so many PSAs here in America are so lathered with pathos they’re almost sticky. When I think of PSAs in America, I don’t usually think of PFDFA or Truth or Smoky the Bear or even the Crash Test Dummies; I think of Sara McGlachlan singing “Angel” which we’ll treated to footage of sad animals in cages, or a guy who looked a lot like Santa Claus cuddling a starving child while he pleaded for donations. It wasn’t until I saw compilations on TH-cam of PSAs from other countries that I could really see what they could do, how striking and unexpected their messages can be. I even gained more of an appreciation for American PSAs when I saw some ads I had forgotten or evidently did not get as much airplay during my childhood that were much more effective.
I’m sorry to see you get out of the game, but I understand. To be honest, your commentary was getting rather repetitive.
The RSA in Ireland has made PSAs that air on TV! They aren't like the golden era PSAs, but I'm glad to see decent ones on TV! I'm glad you're going to focus your channel on content that you're passionate about, I came for the PSA content, but I'm definitely sticking around for your other content
And with that the psa archive book finally closes
Looking forward to the Justice League video
6:40 I'm the exact same. As a kid, I became fascinated by the old Fire Kills PIFs, which would appear very frequently on TV back in the late 2000s. They caught my interest for having a stark different in mood and tone to anything that would appear before or after them within an ad break, as well as the sheer weight of what they were about, preventing death by a house fire. I'd start looking those Fire Kills PIFs up on TH-cam about 12 or so years ago now, at first only finding the more "tame" ones, in "Pull Your Finger Out", "Memorial" and "Drowning". But as time went on, I found the more disturbing ones, in "Dead Man" and "Nightvision" of course. Although I was looking them up quite a lot, I never really looked at any other PSAs or PIFs until about 2016, when I discovered HelloImAPizza's channel. After that, I was absolutely obsessed with PSAs in an entirety, with no real reason why.
Even if he's not going to talk about PSA's or other films like it its still a special place in my heart for theses videos first finding him out on tik tok when he has 200 subs now seeing him make otger kinds of content is great i will miss having nightmares at 2 am about that one psa but i hope zach gets bigger and better in the future:)
PSAs are just fun to watch and dissect, whether they're good, bad, funny, scary, or just plain weird
🙌
Good one smashed it again buddy
Thank you!
Why do people like anything? There is no one true meaning to life that we may know in a postmodern life. Embrace the absurd and enjoy PSAs, if not, something else
I found PSAs as a TH-cam recommedation in the summer 2018. To be honest, I discovered them while being in a very bad state of my life, I was a traumatized teenager. Some of the PSAs kept me up until 2 am back then, it was unforgettable.
I always have a fixation on commercials and all, and somehow the scary commercials hit me the hardest. I am still faint-hearted, but I'm used to the wonder of PSAs. Grateful to know you and your channel. I love to hear people talking about PSAs, it makes me feel less scared
It was really a stranger danger film I was shown at primary school called Never Go with Strangers.
It was on TH-cam but was removed over copyright issues or some such things.
What scared me about it was the red glowing cars and the scary music and also the bloke in the park with the kids whose face turned demonic.
I have had a fascination with them since then.
Zach is right though they have pretty much faded away now.
The only one I seem to see in NSW now is the casual speeding one.
We need to find a lot of the truth psa most of the ones in the mid 2000s are lost
Brought me a lot of comfort over the the last year or so Zach. Keep it up mate!
