  • The blue puppet girl wanting to eat the guitar and her brother just treating it like normal makes me think this isn't the first time she's tried to eat inanimate objects, and that she needs a psychologist, not a song.
  • I love the we're not candy ad like genuinely it works so well. No threats, they just look slightly unsettling.
  • @jacobcox4565
    I like how the first PSA shows that both men and women could be child predators, very progressive.
  • I liked the joke of a child being in a burning house and doing stop, drop, and roll instead of just leaving the house. Or just doing stop, drop, and roll at the scene of any fire, despite not being on fire.

    I actually like the 'we're not candy' one. Sure, it's uncanny but it did a good job of spreading awareness without demonizing pills as a whole or blaming children for eating them. It's catchy and it does a good job conveying it's message and the lil blue skittles are cute
  • “Stranger Danger” PSAs ALWAYS get on my nerves not because they’re trying to encourage being safe around strangers who’re being suspicious. It’s just that it unintentionally teaches kids the idea that they (in genera) can’t trust ANYONE, at least if they “take it super seriously” like they’re “supposed too”
  • @themad_ox
    crazy how two of my favorite youtubers that look like long distant cousins were both extras in hunger games
  • And yes, my nieces and nephews had a code word to avoid stranger danger. Sad but true.

    Growing up I was shown a lot of PSAs as a kid, and they actually showed us the "don't put it in your mouth" song in elementary school. It resulted in several very disturbed children, and as a way of rebelion, a whole bunch of kids started shoving glue sticks in there mouth to "ward of the evil." true story. Love your vids and can't wait to see more, thanks for the great content.

    NEW VIDEO WOOO! Sidenote, the vast majority of PSAs are terrifying by themselves, but sometimes, such as the ones described here, they are... very. extra. disturbing
  • This reminded me of when Buster Brown (a child comic strip character who was always up to mischief) became a boy scout. He was told to be obliging to all adults, so he helped a burglar rob his house. 1980s-90s authority figures thought we were all Buster Brown. You know what? That's fair.
  • “My opinions on anything are of very little use to anyone” Man that’s how I feel all the time 💀
  • Dude, growing up before child safety caps were invented was wild. Also, you unlocked a core memory in me with those tidbits of fire safety PSAs. I watched those in kindergarten and now remember being viscerally afraid of house fires for months afterwards. Great video!
  • Gosh, I've been falling to this psa "rabbit hole" recently, thanks for making a video about this! Also my favourite thing to do is milking the snakes, it's very fun
  • I’m only 18 but I remember seeing that first psa in school when I was little!! (it was a catholic school and things were always at least 10 years behind technologically)
  • Your song at the end made me verbally say “this is fucking sick” alone in my bathroom. You are talented
  • As an 18 year old i can safely say that i do not remember growing up in the 80s and 90s But i do remember getting trauma from being made to watch scream when i was four by my mom 😊😊
  • apparently those freaky adult swim clippings shown before the show starts are to scare kids away from the show very effective
  • while this was a very pleasant surprise to watch before i go to work early in the morning, i must say i had no idea Daniel WAS 19!!!! he could have fooled me into thinking he was well into his 20s like me sigh growing up sucks
