First week at my job at a pasta making factory, HR showed a video on workplace safety. The thing that made it different from other PSAs is that it had a disclaimer at the beginning that every incident shown was of actual footage of workplace accidents, many of them were fatalities (faces were blocked out so there’s that I guess lol) I vividly remember one clip of a guy who basically got snagged in a rotating metal part, and his body got flung around smashing against the ground limp. Worst part was the emergency stop button was hanging above the machine so his coworkers couldn’t reach it so they spent a couple minutes trying to contact someone to hit the breaker for that part of the factory. Wont lie, I had to put in my resignation because it genuinely scared me that much. Boss said he respected me decision. I still am terrified of machinery as a result.

[@Schellsea]

@Topaz Pie yeah it goes without saying anyways; "memes" didn't exist in the 90s, the word wasn't even used until the mid 2000s. So the PSA wasn't a "meme" nor a joke for that matter, but it definitely wasn't very good at getting the message across. In the late 80s and early 90s broadcasters tried using titular television mascots as mechanisms to get the point across that "drugs are bad." But they just ended up coming off as cringe worthy and uncomfortable, even back then.

The whole collection has been up on KZbin just about as long as the PSAs themselves have been around, so I'd guess you probably saw them that way. There was another one in the series that had a lady in... a clothes store I think? get up on an unsecured ladder then fall off and presumably snap her neck. I've been utterly terrified of ladders since I saw that one, and having similarly grave warnings at my work definitely doesn't help. Be careful on ladders, everyone, and for the love of god make sure they're secure.

[@francishollingshead2134]

It's possible that this ad was seen in Detroit, or in other parts of the United States that border Ontario, Canada. TV signals don't recognize imaginary lines, so broadcast stations can be received on areas of the borders. So a Canadian PSA could have easily been viewed in America on Canadian television. Detroit is fairly close to Windsor, Ontario. So if you live near Detroit, it would make sense if you saw the ad on Canadian television.

Someone's probably already mentioned it, but the "lady in the snow" at 12:52 is supposed to be the "Kuchisake-onna", a figure in Japanese urban legends who was the cause of some mass hysteria in Japan around 1980. She would supposedly meet people alone and ask them if they found her pretty, and if they said no, she'd kill them. There's a bit more to it, but I don't wanna spend too much time on her legend other than that saying no to her question leads to death. The sign she's holding says "have you put on winter tires...?" since it's Kuchisake-onna asking, it implies that if the answer is no, you're as good as dead. Driving without winter tires during winter is dangerous, so barring the jumpscare I think it's a really clever commercial/PSA!

The legend is older than 1980, I believe.

Using Kuchisake-Onna would kind of defeat the purpose of the psa, then, wouldn't it? In every version of the legend I've heard, answering yes just means she'll rip off her mask and ask again, and then you're dead no matter what you say. The only thing that changes is whether she stabs you with a pair of scissors or slices your face with them. Edit: Actually got to that part in video, didn't realize it showed her without the mask.

To clarify the one at 52:53 , when Teletoon switches to its night program, it starts airing shows aimed towards an adult audience from 9:00pm to 6:00am. That's why a lot of the night / adult bumpers from Teletoon are scary. It's meant to scare kids away from watching the adult block that's meant for adults. It's similar to the Adult Swim bumper that was covered earlier in the iceberg.

While I enjoyed this iceberg for the most part, I really thought the "Varokaa Heikkoa Jäätä" entry could've used more research. It is not a studio ident, it is a PSA about thin ice. The creepy part comes at the end where the bear says "Beware of thin ice" in finnish in a very deep creepy voice. It traumatized several generations of finnish children.

[@Sunflower41XD]

Oh damn I completely missed that, thanks for pointing it out!

[@matokastee]

Also worth mentioning that the characters in the PSA are characters from a Finnish children’s TV show called Pikku Kakkonen (translates to ”little two” matching the channels frequency, 2), they together make up the logo of the show, a number 2 made out of the characters. That’s probably also why the PSA has been so effective and ”traumatizing”, in Finland we all know the characters from the logo and seeing one of them almost drown is horrifying, as well as the goddamn creepy voice. But it’s an effective PSA, definitely kept me from going near icy lakes.

The only sentence uttered during the animation is in the end where the bear says "Beware of thin ice." the characters are all mascots from a programme which aired various kids shows in the mornings and evenings. the psa still has such an omnious energy to it but i've learned to love it since it is such a classic.

@@sakuramune_ Nope, sorry. I was super young, young enough the memory feels like a hazy dream. If you look into the keywords enough I think you'll find it. I'd rather not see gore again, though.

[@Scott...]

That Capri-Sun ad is really tame compared to the eldrich horror that is the newer ones Also it’s really refreshing to see someone try to nullify these ads with humour rather than purposely adding scary stock music and trying to make it scarier.

[@MagmaFrogg]

This is the video that got me into PSAs. I find them very interesting, but also sometimes can't sleep because of them. I found this video while I had covid and clicked out of boredom. Thank you and screw you at the same time.

[@pavera_]

Seeing "I didn't mean to shoot daddy's gun" on here really brought me back, wow. That ad traumatized me every morning before school in 5th grade, and it's been in my head ever since. It was exactly the same as I remembered.

[@CiaraAwakening]

It makes me so sad watching that one. The Child’s voice gets me every time

[@aeroblu2002]

I used to watch disturbing ads and psas all the time in middle school. They helped fuel my love for vintage VHS stuff in the present day.

[@boopsdoops]

I was watching these over the COVID break(?), and these kept me entertained. I probably learned something, too.

[@Blinkedzero]

I just gotta say, that "Number 15; Burger King Foot Lettus" jump scare got me loling hard.

I think the "grubhub cinematic universe" one refers to how matpat made a april fools theory on the grubhub lore and how it's actually a secret sequel to Jimmy Neutron as a obvious joke, only for grubhub to send him a package that basicly confirmed his theory and added more evidence including unreleased commercials and world-building concept art.

[@CrabMushroom]

This is only on commercials and PSAs, though. Not internet theories.

[@polaknasieci1331]

@@CrabMushroom if the company behind the ads then confirms the theory then creates several commercials specificly for the theory is it really still a theory?

[@ioppisheliolisk]

I don’t understand why people think some of these PSAs would be suitable for children. Our school showed us an assembly on Car Safety in [6th Grade]. It scarred me. I guess that means it worked, but…… I knew the dangers anyway. The school gave us no warnings for the graphic content, but I hear they’ve removed said imagery from future assemblies.

[@sillybeanthing]

The problem is, a lot of people think nothing bad could ever happen to them. A lot of people are... Just unaware. A healthy amount of paranoia can keep you just a little bit safer.

[@belletaunde102]

True, I have mixed feelings when it comes to if we should censor stuff like this. Showing kids the grim realities of what happens if they make certain mistakes can keep them safe, but you can also traumatize them. I'm still going through a bit of ptsd from seeing graphic clips of the holocaust corpses and videos of police brutality when I was a kid and that was more than 15 years ago.

[@XSlimSxadyX]

@@sillybeanthing I don’t know if real life death can do that, really just put a simulation or actors. Real life death is not okay to show to small children, or children in general. I’ve seen things like that and it has fucked me up and I may have PTSD from it.

[@prismopatterson]

The “Cartoon Network bumper with me in it” is probably referring to the CN-sayin era, which lasted from around 2014-2017, where kids could download an app and record short videos of themselves talking about their favourite CN shows, sort of like vines. The videos always had the chance of showing on bumpers between shows, so the OP likely had a video of his air during a CN sayin bumper promoting Steven Universe.

[@Quesoquantum]

I was a kid during that era, and it's most likely that. I also remember drawings being featured as well as videos.

[@gacd2104]

I remember a PSA in my country that showed a child talking about how people don't recycle and the asks"if you don't recycle, who will? Your kids? Your kid's kids? No, for them It will be too late." Then, the camera zooms out and reveals that the child was standing in a pile of trash. This, combined with the black background, the fact there was no music, and the serious face of the child scared the shit out of me as a kid.

in case anyone's curious, the song in the Barambo 2 ad is a cover/parody of the song "Something Stupid", the most popular version of which is by Frank Sinatra.
