Top 50 Scariest UK PSAs Compilation

[@aspieatheist6040]

90% of American PSA's are about substance abuse (anti-tobacco, anti-meth, anti-heroin, anti-drunk driving) but British PSA's cover a wide range of topics.

[@koolcatvalley]

I know, right? And America’s aren’t even scary. That’s why we aren’t learning anything. (I’ve always lived in Michigan.) while I don’t wanna scare kids, I do think we need more like these.

[@samanthabarrineau7148]

Not necessarily there are also school shootings, being distracted or under the influence while driving and child abuse ones.

[@aspieatheist6040]

@@samanthabarrineau7148 I said 90%, not 100%. Also, I count under-the-influence-while-driving PSA's to be substance abuse commercials.

[@koolcatvalley]

[@dubvuchyea502]

[@elizabethdavidson8225]

This is why psa’s like these need to keep being played and made, I saw some of these as a younger kid when I lived in England, and there are things that I will never do because of them.

[@akechifangirl]

Exactly, I saw a psa for car safety recently and it wasn't scary at all. People need to bring back the scary psas, because I know if I saw these as a child I'd be absolutely terrified and never do any of this

[@AngelDelight69]

@@akechifangirl Well the reasoning is the audience is targeting young teens that may not understand the world. While it appears to be for everyone there's no doubt the dramatic fall in scaring viewers is due to the audience not really being there. It seems PSA's went dry around 2012-2014 Which was around about the time KZbin went into full-blown force. I think that's the exact reason PSA's have not been around nearly as much or as graphic. Simply because these were designed to teach and give messages but if most of the audience wasn't even watching TV then there was no point in directing these to young teens. I think PSA's are essential and KZbinr's should be giving them out to keep their audience safe. I also speculate if this isn't the cause of why we don't get PSAs as shocking today, then there may have been a global ban on PSAs specifically with what content they show since this isn't just the UK this is the whole world pretty much

[@TekPlaysEpicGamesOfficial]

39:10 for anyone confused about this one. It was part of a larger set of PSAs called “protect and survive” telling Brit’s how to survive a nuclear exchange. Now you may be thinking “how is this scary” 2 things 1. The information in the PSAs will definitely not save you 2. These PSAs were released at a time when nuclear war was possible which was the Cold War. So there my 2 cents

[@koolcatvalley]

Me and my friend are from America and were laughing SO HARD at this just because we knew that advice wouldn’t work. We watched every PSA that that company made. Realistically though, what would you do in nuclear war?

[@AFarmerCalledChicken]

Pray to every known deity.

[@elizabethdavidson8225]

When my mum was in middle school the threat of nuclear attack was very real, they were told to get under their desks. Obviously useless but it was more ment to prevent panicking if an alarm went off so that the kids at least wouldn’t trample each other to death. That’s usually why the ‘way to stay safe’ was gonna be useless

[@EmmaGoldmanlovesyou]

The firework PSA reminds me of an awful incident that happened to my nephew on the 4th Of July. My family wasn’t messing with fireworks, or being irresponsible in any way, shape, or form. We went to take the kids out on a walk before it got late; and we’re walking through a gated community, a bunch of closely knit apartments with security. As we walked by th4 pool area my brother in law waved at the neighbors and those idiots lit a whole bottle rocket right as we were passing by. The rocket fell into the stroller and landed on my baby nephew’s chest; exploding in his chest on all over his little face. My sister, (who has reflexes like a cat,) reached in, bad;y burning her own hand as well, and threw it away from us quick enough that he didn’t have worse damage. But he was still very badly burnt all over his chin, cheeks, and chest. The sad part is; these were adults; all over the age of 30. They weren’t little children, or teenagers. You’d think a grown adult would stop and think; “maybe I should wait until the 3 little kids walk away, before throwing this flaming mini rocket…”

[@MSTBNDT]

Is he good now?

[@liznichols4916]

This happened to my little brother. He was far enough away and it was adults seemingly being responsible. Somehow though the bottlerocket didn't go up that high like they normally do. It only went up a little and then started spiraling landing in his walker. He had severe burns but he is all good now. I still have no idea why that one behaved different.

[@Lucas-dy5mt]

Is he okay now?

[@EmmaGoldmanlovesyou]

Sorry for the slow reply! The little guy is just fine! This was years ago and he recovered from his burns slowly, and he has gnarly scars, but he’s just great these days.

[@EmmaGoldmanlovesyou]

@@liznichols4916 Yeah, that sounds almost exactly like my nephew’s situation. It was a defective bottle rocket, and it just went up amd over the 6 foot fence; landing on his chest, in the stroller.

[@aliceheatherlogan]

@@samanthabarrineau7148 was a livestock disease that broke out widespread in the UK in the early 2000s. My dad worked for the government in the DEFRA department at the time and wound up having to euthanize cows that had it amongst having to do other horrifying things I won't mention. He used to come home smelling of death every evening and cry all the time although he's a very stiff upper lip kind of guy.

[@anayaweick7964]

@Ahmed Malaki I don’t think that’s it. Foot and Mouth was an incredibly infectious disease that killed animals, and eventually they all had to be euthanized because if a human ate an animal that had Foot and Mouth, it could cause a human strain. A lot of farmers, especially in farms like the ones shown that are small businesses, are _incredibly_ humane with killing animals, so having to kill all these animals without reason seems super inhumane and it was devastating to these farmers.

I didn't know liked stuff like this, shinsou!

[@lloydzeroa.k.aforger6990]

And the cockroach scores the goal! (Joke. In reality, terrifying)

[@milo_thatch]

That fishbowl one is straight up animal abuse

[@sb_95x]

I remember watching the ventriloquist advert as a child and it really freaked me out..

[@CursedBeyondComp]

If I would be a child I would be confused

[@jade4994]

That ventriloquist advert is the most terrifying thing I've seen in a while. Also why tf are the samaritans ones so CREEPY

[@perlasandoval7883]

a legacy of COI and their PSA's

[@janellekent7081]

The one about harpooning the whales made me scream & cry.

I still have got to skip Julie every time! Scared the s**t out of me BUT it was so well done. Shame is awful as well

[@thatmessedupgirl101]

That one about the children getting kicked out of the house due to war makes me sad. I really hope that fish didn’t die.

[@troywright359]

Wow, good to see an advert recognising the mental health and pressure men can get put under, with that Samaritans ad

[@Megs24theJokerQueen]

Those poor Pilot whales,😥 Seeing that psa makes me feel ashamed to be part of humanity😤

[@thunder_heads]

We are STILL trying to stop it

[@davidstuckey9289]

@@thunder_heads Hardly. Look at all the money we waste on stopping AIDS, COVID and cancer, which are nature's way of bringing us down to a manageable level.

[@thunder_heads]

@@davidstuckey9289 you are disgusting people who have cancer and aids and covid have done and do amazing things like try and stop the killing of the pilot whales or donating to food banks or helping in women's shelters. No one deserves to die and that narrative is disgusting

[@davidstuckey9289]

@@thunder_heads "No one deserves to die" And yet we all do. I imagine you have an entirely different narrative when you hear about someone who has been cruel to animals - odds are you probably call for punishment that is basically vivisection. Choose a side and stick with it.

These are like short horror stories

[@aengusk3313]

it's worth mentioning that the PSA's put out by the RSA are made in Ireland and aren't UK PSA's

[@bobskeleton4502]

Tbh I forgot that they were produced by the RSA, as I'm from Northern Ireland they were aired there by the DOE- you're right, they're not UK PSA's but they were shown in the UK

Oh my fucking god yeah. Don't Look is probably my least favourite PSA it's so chilling.

I once went to a country where they had a whole museum dedicated the whaling industry. That place gave me nightmares for a month. I was 27 at the time.

[@sarah.rarwasunavailable]

I thought the title must be mildly clickbait-y but nope I'm 1/3rd of the way through and these are pretty genuinely fucking horrifying! I'm like wow, this video will ruin my day if I watch it during the day, and make me paranoid as hell if I watch it at night

[@grxcelxvesgxil]

I can’t believe how many car crash/safety ones there were in comparison to nowadays, these were terrifying to watch but it really makes you feel something, the think Julie one genuinely had me silenced i was not expecting that 🙏

[@ondinaskye7773]

The one with the whales made me very sad. Not so much scared. Just…….sad. 😔

Not surprised that a clip from protect and survive was one here.
