I watched Girl Child before, and while I have no idea what happened to it, I can give you a summary on it: There is a picture of a girl on a computer monitor, and the pointer is moving around it all weirdly, going to fairly inappropriate places. The end text says “thankfully, she did not feel a thing. But the same can’t be said for thousands of other children” or something like that. I think it was also made by Praya foundation, something? I don’t remember the exact name but it was something like that. I’m also pretty sure it’s an Indian PSA, but the girl’s white, so I can’t say for sure. I don’t know anything about a rocket PSA other than a sex ed psa involving condoms which I’m pretty sure is not what they were talking about, but for Escape, along with Nightvision, there were some other companion PSAs that were just extensions of the scenes in Nightvision. Loogi Ballogi uploaded them, but he does cleansings of the old videos of his channel and those were deleted as well. I’m pretty sure Escape was the extension PSA of the scene where the guy woke up to smoke and tried to leave his bedroom but tripped on his bike.
you should be spot on with the girl child one, it is in fact made by prayas foundation in india the rocket psa might be the thomas higgins trust one but im not even sure because it’s not rlly dark it’s pretty funny
Yeah I think you are right about the girl child PSA. I didn't realise that it would be that one as that didn't show up when I tried to find it for this video
While you did show that some of these PSAs have alternative versions to them, some of the other entries also have them as well. The "Can't Look" PSA has alternative dialogue in the final scene where it's the girl speaking softly, pleading her father to stop. This version is much darker in my opinion. On the lighter side, the Padlock PSA has an alternative ending where the man who was crushed lives, since a padlock was in place. This is a pretty good iceberg video btw!
Also. The Warning Signs psa is from Australia and features a recently deceased man saying that he wishes he could have his heart attack again. We then see him retrace his steps as he describes the warning signs of a heart attack that he ignored. The ad ends with him looking at a picture of his family as he says "I wish I could have my heart attack again"
Actually, I was thinking that maybe Warning Signs is the school shooter PSA, the one where we follow two completely unrelated kids and the shooter is making preparations in the background ("the warning signs") that we don't notice until he begins to shoot up the place.
Fact: The Lenny PSA was unscripted it was real, when Lenny said that the camera crew will interview him somewhere in 1996 or 1997 August 17th or 18th telling them that he will be successful during that time. The fact that the crew actually went back to interview him. Unfortunately, Lenny never showed up and never heard anything from him ever again.
Speaking of, i just recently saw a PSA in the cinema, showing various scenes of child abuse (I think one was a child being slapped, the other was sexual abuse, and the third i don't remember), with each scene ending a blink of an eye before the actual abuse. Then the child would turn to the camera and say help, and after that a narrator goes "Do any of these scenes feel familiar to you? Contact authorities under the following phone number or via this website. In an emergency, you can also call police." For those who are curious, it was made by the city of Kiel in Germany and is probably from this or last year (So 2021 or 2022 for those reading this years down the line)
There is a bunch of well known disturbing PSAs made by one company that weren’t on this list. They include a man driving over a bunch of children a guy getting stabbed by a forklift a guy carrying a huge pot of boiling soup and spilling it on himself a woman falling off a ladder and getting brutally injured and many more. They are straight up gruesome and not at all subtle most of them are for workplace safety or just being careful in general. I don’t know if they are American or British or something else but I was kind of surprised they weren’t in this video.
Yeah this iceberg wasn't my iceberg. I found this one off of Reddit. But in my recent one I did make it myself and all of those are in the Iceberg. The first one you said is Irish and some of the others you said are Australian or Canadian
Hey there! I should've added that to the list since I do remember it scaring me as a kid, thanks for suggesting it here. My chart is open to suggestions as well.
These are the names if you wanted to know 1) Shame On You (DOI,Ireland) 2) Metal Shop (WSIB,Canada) 3) Vat (WorkSafe,Australia) 4) Shopgirl/Retail Worker (WSIB,Canada)
This is a real great video with a couple entires I've never seen before. In terms of the "talking helps it stop" pifs, they're from the nspcc and there are two versions. One features a teenage girl with audio of verbal and physical violence playing. The audio stops when the girl tries to speak. However, because of how difficult it is to talk about the abuse, she stops talking and the audio of the abuse resumes. The PIF ends with the text "Talking helps it stop." The second one, to me, is infinitely more disturbing. It's the same format but with a teenage boy instead. The audio for this one is truly haunting as it is sexual abuse as opposed to physical and verbal abuse. Both really powerful ads tho. Hope this helped! Edit: The official title is "Someone to turn to"
17:28 this PSA takes a lot of context out. they were hallucinating badly and were confused/incoherent. some of the stuff they said- michael said they came across hundreds of bystanders that didn’t speak english, janelle said people were taking cars apart & putting them in the trees, janelle giving their location as “trees above the mandalay” (the apartment complex they lived in which was 20 miles from where they actually were), michael saying “they need to come further south. further south, open the gates” when a dispatcher said officers that went to the complex couldn’t find them, and michael saying they couldn’t get back into their truck because it was “rolled over on its top” (the truck was upright). the amount of meth in their systems indicated that they had last taken it 2-3 days before their 911 calls
Yeah I think I remember watching something about the actual call. It is very interesting though the real events that actually happened in a very sad and disturbing way
I think I know I know where to find ‘Girl child’ it looked familiar to me. I think the PSA you’re looking for is on vimeo. I had to watch a lot of PSAs when I did creative media in sixth form and I think I came across it. It’s about girls’ rights and to protect them from abuse and arranged marriages.
randomly thinking about my new weird fascination with researching PSAs but it's kind of strange to me how SO many PSAs involve gross-out, shock scenes that i feel aren't very effective at all. When i was younger, i grew up with PSAs that were more mild and i feel as though those are more effective than gross, gory, shock scenes. I don't know, I just think that if kids (and adults, too!) see a nasty PSA like that the only thing they'll learn is how to change the channel when it comes on without even understanding what's actually happening. I feel as though PSAs like Save Ralph are way more effective and informative than PSAs that have gross imagery like maggots and such. Of course, that's just my opinion, but I just think that it won't scare people into not doing things a lot of times.
One of the better PSAs I seen was a kitchen/a child room/an old man sleeping on a couch (various versions) in the dark and then smoke fill the room. A simple yet effective method to tell people to be careful around furnaces and such.
The disturbing ones at the end reminded me of Staplerfahrer Klaus, which is a parody of some of these older PSAs, in which people being killed in gruesome ways was common. It focuses on Klaus, who recently got his forklift operation license, and shows various examples of what not to do when operating a forklift. It starts out harmless, with things such as "Only cross paths intended for forklifts in the places marked for that" and "Don't lift people unless you're using a special platform for it", and gets more and more absurd, until eventually, a now headless Klaus rides off into the sunset, having speared a man without hands on one point, and another man without legs wielding a chainsaw on the other.
I remember watching Icons when I was young and it wasn’t just on DVD. I remember seeing it in some stores for some reason and even restaurants. It holds a special place in my heart for it was a constant PSA that I saw and it gave me nightmares, even from a distance.
for the heads psa it basically about a man killing a doll (which i think represents his daughter) with a blade,the psa was made in america and it was meant to show how people get high on drugs to the point where they kill others,i think talking helps it stops is an nspcc psa but i forgot
I just wanna say I've really been enjoying your PSA content and the way your audio is and the way you speak is honestly very soothing as someone with sensory issues relating to sound. You do a really nice job making everything clean and concise and always give me a good giggle with the occasional joke.
There's a series of PSAs i just had to think of that was quite prominent in Germany for a while. It's definitely towards the top of the Iceberg in terms of being dark, as most of them really aren't. Essentially, there was an ongoing campaign to fight illiteracy. The PSAs are quite memorable and got parodied to death, but they all followed a simple structure. One of the most famous and memorable ones features a forklift driver sitting in his seat, stunned. In front of him, you see a big shelf, which has collapsed after he loaded a barrel of what i can only assume is paint onto the top shelf, despite a big sign explicitly spelling out "Beladen verboten!" (Loading [the top shelf] is forbidden!). In front of him is his superior, ranting on about how there's a sign explicitly saying that he can't load the top shelf, and about how much bigger he needs to make the sign, until another worker informs him that the driver at fault can't read. The manager is shocked to learn this. Full of surprise, he asks the driver is this is true, shocked that he never noticed this over all these years, and the driver nods, asking "Am i fired?" to which the worker replies "No, but it can't go on like that, we need to do something about this." Then the camera goes blurry as they walk off, and a narrator says "Over 7 million people in germany cannot read or write. Don't write yourself off. Learn to read and write." followed by a phone number. In fact, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/1AerZ0VdwXA/v-deo.html
One detail I noticed in the Red Banana PSA is that you can hear a music box version of "It's a Small World After All" playing in the background before the explosion. Makes it even more unsettling, imo. I remember there being an Irish PSA/PIF about speeding that ended with a guy running over a whole kindergarten class. And it had a woman singing a slower version of "Sweet Child O Mine" by Guns n Roses in the background. Which was an... interesting choice.
The train PSA was a global warming PSA that depicted a man standing on the tracks with a train approaching behind him. He says something along the lines of "The effects of global warming are decades away, so they won't effect me" before he steps out of the way to reveal a young child standing behind him, portraying who will bear the brunt of global warmings damage to the planet. It was pretty good.
what i find really strange is, most of the psa's on this list are from the uk, and although i was born in 2003 and live in london i dont remember ever seeing a psa on tv
@@katehowden9206 okay but why a banana? And a red one at that?, if it's about things looking like toys you would think they would use a more generic toy a ball or something using a red banana is so cryptic it only raises further questions
The "Train" PSA could be one that shows real train accidents? One that the last video is really gruesome about a man getting crushed by the half between the train and the border of the platform??
No the Train is one of two possible Australian Psas that cuts between a herd of Horses pulling rope to a speeding train that can't stop, its either that one or the one with five different scenarios of people stuck on tracks with the train coming but they are helpless to get out of the way until the train hits and disappears.
I know that one. Is by the British Transport Police and is called 'Real Tracks Real Trains Real Life' I have only ever seen it on one PSA/PIF compilation. It is pretty grim, and I am surprised it never gets a mention anywhere.
I appreciate it! Honestly might do another PSA iceberg in the future since this video has done so well but still going to make more videos. Maybe a video every week or two, still deciding
Just the description of "Can't Look" was incredibly upsetting… and we're only halfway through one of two videos on this subject. :| Lemme guess at this point: The Africare "shoebox" ad comes up. I actually remember that one from when I was three. No joke.
Actually, this PSA on my chart is from the Heart Foundation which is the same company that did the "Make Health Last" PSA. The PSA is of a woman who is in the middle of a stroke or a heart attack, with a narrator telling us the signs but she has no one to help her. But I should take I look at that one :)
i wanna say trains was a series of russian PSA cartoons where a bunch of teenagers try to train surf, hop on the tracks, jump turnstiles and commit vandalism only for one of the to get injured/die each attempt which leads to them buying a gadget that tries to make it safer for them but fails in doing so everytime. but i wouldn't say they were creepy or disturbing since they had a relatively humorous slapstick tone. i think the official name is "can't buy a brain".
I don't think that's the series of PSAs they were talking about as I think in their iceberg it was a PSA not from Russia. But that series of PSAs is interesting and I do enjoy them
i remember one for aids or stds or something along those lines that was shown in australia , it had a family on a stage and a grim reaper looking fella throwing bowling balls at the family. eventually a mother and a baby are left and they get hit , it’s really scared me as a kid. it would’ve shown around 2014
Also, there's a song in "You're the guinea pig"! It's called 'you always hurt the ones you love'! There's also one that if I recall, uses "I daydream in blue" by I monster! I love PSAs that use music! I find it so fun to find what song is playing!
I think the "Train" title refers to a Global Warming PSA, about an adult man walking with his daughter to a train track saying "Why should I care about Global Warming?!" or something related to that, before being hit by a train. I heard it's a metaphor for not believing in Climate Change and the train symbolising the consequences of being too late if I'm correct.
yeah the ad plays out with him standing in front of the tracks saying "Oh I won't be around in 30 years so why does this effect me." and he steps to the side of the track revealing a young girl about to get ran down by the train as it speeds toward them
A psa short film I always liked was Apache. It's a farm safety film where the kids all die in different ways around a farm.. also those Australian work safe ads that always play in the morning
13:03 I think train is an Australian ad where a man is lying in a field with ropes tied around his wrists and ankles. Then we see a herd (herd?) of horses running through a field with the ropes tied to them. The man calmly explains the horsepower a train possesses before the ropes tighten and it cuts, presumably before the man is te@red ap@rt by the horses. I could be wrong though because that psa might also be called something like ‘Horsepower’. Cool video btw
@@Zach.RI found it! It shows a man standing on a train track talking about climate change. You then see a train approaching in the background. He says that he doesn’t care about climate change. It won’t affect him. He steps off the tracks to reveal a young girl standing on the tracks as the train gets very close. The video then cuts. Great psa and you should be able to find it somewhere on UA-cam.
The "Rocket" PSA is about firework safety im pretty sure, there is a Parody with hey Arnold but they only use the audio and I think it is like the countdown one because they mention short fuses and keeping the fireworks in bags
How was 'Snake' placed in Child's Play? The mutant snake he turns into is pretty disturbing, and a little scary, in my opinion. I would've placed it somewhere between layers 2-4
"Trains" I think is the UK PSA about awareness near train tracks where family is biking and playing eye-spy. The sister keeps trying to guess what her brother spotted, beginning with T before she walks in front of the family, turns around and says "Wait, is it a tracks?" and is hit by a train as it speeds past. This is what I can only guess this one is. But maybe not as its very mild and probably wouldn't be so far down on the iceberg
I remember a PSA where a group of teenagers go to the beach, the twist is they suddenly die as they each step on landmines as it zooms out to a tall barbed wire fence and gate with a sign saying something in some Slavic language. I think it has something to do with the Balkans leftover minefields.
17:28 being from the area this couple was from, I remember when this was a huge local news story in January 2005. I think this happened the 5th of that month If I recall…stuff like this is why I hate winter around here.
One thing about the Red Banana PSA that I am still being confused until that day; is it really a PSA, or it's just a short film project by a group of people? I saw a PSA Wiki explained this as somewhat a "parody", since the PSA itself didn't have a clear message with contacts information to a certain oragnizations of goverments and no logo was available. Yeah...
Omg my comment gets hearted, much appreciate ❤, and yeah sorry for the grammar in my original comment. Would love to edit it again but it means I'll lose your heart reaction so yeah 😂
I know haha and they are alright PSAs. Just extremely simple and to the point but yeah I did pin a comment that talks about that where I accidentally called the kid Charlie
I never liked the Truth ads in the first place. Mainly because they're in general trying too hard. Personally I'm of the opinion people are allowed to do whatever to their bodies as long as it's not in excess and doing it at the legal age. Despite me not being either a drinker or a smoker.
18:35 this shows that the girl didn't say anything before the events happened during the PSA and that you should say something before the addiction begins
Holy sjit the icons PSA I remember that one but not for the same reason I remember other PSAs One year for Christmas (2021) I got the final destinations five film collection and the thing about that is the first 4 films were squeezed back to back into two cds whereas the 5th film was on its own cd, this meant the first 4 films couldn't have special features or intros or title screens or ads, but 5 could because it had its own disc I didn't know 5 would have ads or anything and *_guess what the first fucking ad was_* I got jumpscared so bad I didn't even notice what the PSA was about lmao
These PSA are pretty depressing and I had to stop watching the vid and watch something nice. Very good iceberg though I love scary and disturbing things but when it shows reality it hits harder than any horror film
The psa dealing with smoking companies tricking people with advertising and pop culture also aired on t.v. too but early in the morning on cartoon network in the early 2010's
The Australian speading PSAs are actually banned where I live, I'm pretty sure the only way to watch them (apart from like youtube obvi) in my state is by taking the class to get your Ls
This is quite possibly the most disturbing iceberg I've ever seen even though I've seen most of the US ones. Now, I have the song stuck in my head: "I don't sleep and I don't eat, but I've got the cleanest house on the street. Ohhhhh m*th."
I honestly never got what the Biggie Bear PSAs were getting at to be honest, I _guess_ they could be trying to warn parents that their kids could have watching adult animated shows like Family Guy or South Park, but those types of shows are often very obviously not for children and aren't trying to decieve kids into watching them. Maybe I'm missing something. Also no joke, I've seen the Red Banana PSA in another PSA iceberg video and its probably the only PSA that's ever caught me off guard and made me lose sleep at night. I thought it was gonna be another CSA one, imagine my shock when it wasn't.
biggie bear's message was pretty much about violence & sex in media and "pay attention to what your kids look at" which is a fairly reasonable message. it's almost concerning how many people forget that parental ratings exist in media for a reason.
The real question is why isn't Snake Guy in any video games? I would've love to fight against him. It could work for the sequel of Shadow the Hedgehog.
I think I remember there being a Japanese psa about trains that had been lost media for a while, maybe that's what the train entry means? If I'm remembering correctly the psa was a black background with two sketch figures on it and train whistles would go off every Couple of seconds representing something that I don't remember what was
Sarah's story is from the UK not from the United States (Motor Nerone Disease or as its known in the US Ametropic Lateral Sclerosis) Motor Nerone Disease is the name of the larger group of conditions to do with degenerative effects on the parts of the spinal column that have to do with controlling the voluntary muscle systems (ALS the specific condition is also more commonly called Lou Gehrig's Disease it was famously the disease that left Stephen Hawking enfeebled in a motor chair like the one depicted in the PSA
there are quite a few PSAs you couldnt find that can be found on HelloImpizza's PSA channel either under fifty scary us and Canada Psas or Fifty scary UK Pifs. And Fifty Scary Pifs Austraiia New Zealand. For three you couldnt find I know I have seen them there.
Well, I can add South Africa to the list of countries that play for keeps with their PSAs! The ones I already had on the list were Canada, Singapore, and the UK. 🇨🇦 🇸🇬 🇬🇧 🇿🇦
Honestly the fireworks culture in Netherlands was so surprising to me, the fact they even need that PSA there is what's disturbing to me, haha. A friend who is a nurse in the Netherlands was lamenting the fireworks injury flood they were expecting at the hospital during a time the system was already overburdened by covid and I asked about it.
Imagine if biggie bear was an actual show and the events in the psas were actual events in the episodes there would probably be a #cancelbiggiebear hope that hashtag isn’t real
@@Zach.R Unfortunately true for lots of toys. This particular PSA misses the mark for me. Would have preferred if they'd just called it a "big kids' toy".
@@dbensdrawinvids8390 yeah I can see why this PSA would miss the mark for people. I am personally kind of in the middle where it doesn't really get the message across that well but it's not terrible
Mistakes are going to happen, especially with longer videos I am going to make a few mistakes. It is what it is really but the PSAs I could do some research for I did
@@Zach.R Your original reply said 'One mistake who cares'. Really didn't appreciate that as a subscriber who evidently does care about these ultimately very basic facts about the PSAs you're researching - enough to have left a comment. I hope you improve how you recieve criticism in the future and take just that slight bit more care, if not for the quality of your content, but for the integrity of the information you present to people who may not already be informed.
@@0zzysaurus it's literally one mistake and you are acting like one mistake completely puts you off the video which is ridiculous. I can take criticism I have taken plenty of it and other comments are a great example of this. It's maybe just the way I heard you say it I thought you were saying it in more of an aggressive way and if so that's my bad. If I didn't care about the quality of my videos I would be pumping them out daily.
@@0zzysaurus and yes I originally did say that because as I said in my last response I must have heard what you said the wrong way and I will take full responsibility for that if that is the case Edit: and that's why I edited the original comment because I felt like I read your original comment the wrong way
@@Zach.R You're right, this video does have a fair few comments suggesting how you can improve and make your content better, as well as pointing out mistakes or gaps in knowledge. Little errors tend to build up into making a not particularly satisfying video to watch, and it did put me off. It's not ridiculous, it's a genuine response from a member of your audience. My original tone wasn't great - but that was a genuine comment of disappointment. It's not about being totally apathetic like throwaway Top Ten listicle channels who pump out (what is essentially at this point) disinformation daily - and I'm not suggesting that you're like those channels at all, cus I don't think your content is anywhere close to being that lazy. It's about taking that extra amount of time to not leave yourself open to little mistakes, especially if you don't have the pressure of a fixed upload schedule. Also, on a side note: some of the entries really could do with more than just a summary of events, eg. if there isn't much behind-the-scenes context for a PSA, maybe include contemporary statistics about the topics the PSAs are talking about, and whether or not anything has changed since. It might also help to add brief explainations to help clarify a topic. For example, there could've been a simple explaination of what motor-neurons disease is and how it affects people in real life for the Sarah's Story PSA. I just think it would make each point on the iceberg more interesting and bulk up the content. Some PSAs are almost like short films, and taking the time to analyse them in a more literature-based perspective could also really add some life to entries that don't have much else going for them; eg. the man in the RSPCA Puppy video is the family's father, and there's an element of shame felt seeing the patriarch of the family avoiding accountability. It helps to drives home a sense of responsibility in the viewer. A PSA is designed to evoke a response, so assess how exactly it does that. Just trying to give some genuine advice/criticism. Thank you for apologising for responding how you did, though. I do appreciate that.
I think heads might be a meth psa about a guy cutting his kids head off while high on meth. It’s on helloimapizza’s redux version of the top 50 drug psas. That’s about the only place to find it though I think.
1:13 "Why does the Snake Guy have his own wiki page with a weakness section?"
I mean, if I were ever approached by Snake Guy, I would like to know how to defeat him
This is a fair point and I agree with you.
Just take him down the old fashioned way: gun
Piranha + gun = PIRAHNA GUN OH YEAHHH THE ULTIMATE WEAKNESS
The Snake Guy PSA reminds me of JonTron's reaction to it
How to defeat Snake Guy is you just show up with Hawk Man.
The Snake guy wiki entry is so unintentionally hilarious.
It's just so weird... but effective too
I watched Girl Child before, and while I have no idea what happened to it, I can give you a summary on it:
There is a picture of a girl on a computer monitor, and the pointer is moving around it all weirdly, going to fairly inappropriate places. The end text says “thankfully, she did not feel a thing. But the same can’t be said for thousands of other children” or something like that. I think it was also made by Praya foundation, something? I don’t remember the exact name but it was something like that. I’m also pretty sure it’s an Indian PSA, but the girl’s white, so I can’t say for sure.
I don’t know anything about a rocket PSA other than a sex ed psa involving condoms which I’m pretty sure is not what they were talking about, but for Escape, along with Nightvision, there were some other companion PSAs that were just extensions of the scenes in Nightvision. Loogi Ballogi uploaded them, but he does cleansings of the old videos of his channel and those were deleted as well. I’m pretty sure Escape was the extension PSA of the scene where the guy woke up to smoke and tried to leave his bedroom but tripped on his bike.
you should be spot on with the girl child one, it is in fact made by prayas foundation in india
the rocket psa might be the thomas higgins trust one but im not even sure because it’s not rlly dark it’s pretty funny
Yeah I think you are right about the girl child PSA. I didn't realise that it would be that one as that didn't show up when I tried to find it for this video
I’ve seen that one too with the curser, but I was told it was made in Germany.
@@KatieAliceGamer there’s two curser ads, one was made in india with a girl and the other is the german one you’re probably talking about
@@Zach.R i think this is the PSA you lookin for ua-cam.com/video/bbZcUehR38g/v-deo.html
While you did show that some of these PSAs have alternative versions to them, some of the other entries also have them as well.
The "Can't Look" PSA has alternative dialogue in the final scene where it's the girl speaking softly, pleading her father to stop. This version is much darker in my opinion.
On the lighter side, the Padlock PSA has an alternative ending where the man who was crushed lives, since a padlock was in place.
This is a pretty good iceberg video btw!
Thank you and didn't actually know about those alternate versions tbh 😅
Also. The Warning Signs psa is from Australia and features a recently deceased man saying that he wishes he could have his heart attack again. We then see him retrace his steps as he describes the warning signs of a heart attack that he ignored. The ad ends with him looking at a picture of his family as he says "I wish I could have my heart attack again"
Yeah it probably is that PSA. It's actually called something else so that's probably why I didn't realise it was that PSA but you are probably right
Actually, I was thinking that maybe Warning Signs is the school shooter PSA, the one where we follow two completely unrelated kids and the shooter is making preparations in the background ("the warning signs") that we don't notice until he begins to shoot up the place.
Fact: The Lenny PSA was unscripted it was real, when Lenny said that the camera crew will interview him somewhere in 1996 or 1997 August 17th or 18th telling them that he will be successful during that time.
The fact that the crew actually went back to interview him. Unfortunately, Lenny never showed up and never heard anything from him ever again.
Also curious story: The guy who directed this PSA also directed American History X, Tony Kaye.
Speaking of, i just recently saw a PSA in the cinema, showing various scenes of child abuse (I think one was a child being slapped, the other was sexual abuse, and the third i don't remember), with each scene ending a blink of an eye before the actual abuse. Then the child would turn to the camera and say help, and after that a narrator goes "Do any of these scenes feel familiar to you?

For those who are curious, it was made by the city of Kiel in Germany and is probably from this or last year (So 2021 or 2022 for those reading this years down the line)
If there's one thing that I can't stand, It's child abuse and crimes against children.
@@SakicFan You're not alone in that. Child abuse is probably the one crime you shouldn't brag about in prison if your life means anything to you.
There is a bunch of well known disturbing PSAs made by one company that weren’t on this list.

This is a real great video with a couple entires I've never seen before. In terms of the "talking helps it stop" pifs, they're from the nspcc and there are two versions. One features a teenage girl with audio of verbal and physical violence playing. The audio stops when the girl tries to speak. However, because of how difficult it is to talk about the abuse, she stops talking and the audio of the abuse resumes. The PIF ends with the text "Talking helps it stop." The second one, to me, is infinitely more disturbing. It's the same format but with a teenage boy instead. The audio for this one is truly haunting as it is sexual abuse as opposed to physical and verbal abuse. Both really powerful ads tho. Hope this helped!
Edit: The official title is "Someone to turn to"
Thanks heaps and yeah that has helped. I don't think I have seen the second one you are talking about but I have definitely seen the first one
17:28 this PSA takes a lot of context out. they were hallucinating badly and were confused/incoherent. some of the stuff they said- michael said they came across hundreds of bystanders that didn’t speak english, janelle said people were taking cars apart & putting them in the trees, janelle giving their location as “trees above the mandalay” (the apartment complex they lived in which was 20 miles from where they actually were), michael saying “they need to come further south. further south, open the gates” when a dispatcher said officers that went to the complex couldn’t find them, and michael saying they couldn’t get back into their truck because it was “rolled over on its top” (the truck was upright). the amount of meth in their systems indicated that they had last taken it 2-3 days before their 911 calls
Yeah I think I remember watching something about the actual call. It is very interesting though the real events that actually happened in a very sad and disturbing way
I think I know I know where to find ‘Girl child’ it looked familiar to me. I think the PSA you’re looking for is on vimeo. I had to watch a lot of PSAs when I did creative media in sixth form and I think I came across it. It’s about girls’ rights and to protect them from abuse and arranged marriages.
Yeah I have seen the PSA. I know which PSA it is meant to be after uploading this video but just can't find the actual video itself
randomly thinking about my new weird fascination with researching PSAs but it's kind of strange to me how SO many PSAs involve gross-out, shock scenes that i feel aren't very effective at all. When i was younger, i grew up with PSAs that were more mild and i feel as though those are more effective than gross, gory, shock scenes. I don't know, I just think that if kids (and adults, too!) see a nasty PSA like that the only thing they'll learn is how to change the channel when it comes on without even understanding what's actually happening. I feel as though PSAs like Save Ralph are way more effective and informative than PSAs that have gross imagery like maggots and such. Of course, that's just my opinion, but I just think that it won't scare people into not doing things a lot of times.
One of the better PSAs I seen was a kitchen/a child room/an old man sleeping on a couch (various versions) in the dark and then smoke fill the room. A simple yet effective method to tell people to be careful around furnaces and such.
I genuinely changed all my make up and shampoos and stuff after watching Save Ralph. It's a really good PSA.
Nice one, great run down of the iceberg!
I doubt you did but good for you, now you can feel better about yourself and literally nothing will change from your miniscule impact.
@@that_deadeyegamer7920 great cynicism there my friend, you are actively making the world a worse place
@@that_deadeyegamer7920 well damn, who shit in your cereal?
The disturbing ones at the end reminded me of Staplerfahrer Klaus, which is a parody of some of these older PSAs, in which people being killed in gruesome ways was common. It focuses on Klaus, who recently got his forklift operation license, and shows various examples of what not to do when operating a forklift. It starts out harmless, with things such as "Only cross paths intended for forklifts in the places marked for that" and "Don't lift people unless you're using a special platform for it", and gets more and more absurd, until eventually, a now headless Klaus rides off into the sunset, having speared a man without hands on one point, and another man without legs wielding a chainsaw on the other.
I remember watching Icons when I was young and it wasn’t just on DVD. I remember seeing it in some stores for some reason and even restaurants. It holds a special place in my heart for it was a constant PSA that I saw and it gave me nightmares, even from a distance.
for the heads psa it basically about a man killing a doll (which i think represents his daughter) with a blade,the psa was made in america and it was meant to show how people get high on drugs to the point where they kill others,i think talking helps it stops is an nspcc psa but i forgot
I just wanna say I've really been enjoying your PSA content and the way your audio is and the way you speak is honestly very soothing as someone with sensory issues relating to sound. You do a really nice job making everything clean and concise and always give me a good giggle with the occasional joke.
Thank you heaps! I really appreciate the compliments heaps! :)
There's a series of PSAs i just had to think of that was quite prominent in Germany for a while. It's definitely towards the top of the Iceberg in terms of being dark, as most of them really aren't. Essentially, there was an ongoing campaign to fight illiteracy. The PSAs are quite memorable and got parodied to death, but they all followed a simple structure.
One of the most famous and memorable ones features a forklift driver sitting in his seat, stunned. In front of him, you see a big shelf, which has collapsed after he loaded a barrel of what i can only assume is paint onto the top shelf, despite a big sign explicitly spelling out "Beladen verboten!" (Loading [the top shelf] is forbidden!). In front of him is his superior, ranting on about how there's a sign explicitly saying that he can't load the top shelf, and about how much bigger he needs to make the sign, until another worker informs him that the driver at fault can't read.
The manager is shocked to learn this. Full of surprise, he asks the driver is this is true, shocked that he never noticed this over all these years, and the driver nods, asking "Am i fired?" to which the worker replies "No, but it can't go on like that, we need to do something about this." Then the camera goes blurry as they walk off, and a narrator says "Over 7 million people in germany cannot read or write. Don't write yourself off. Learn to read and write." followed by a phone number.
In fact, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/1AerZ0VdwXA/v-deo.html
One detail I noticed in the Red Banana PSA is that you can hear a music box version of "It's a Small World After All" playing in the background before the explosion. Makes it even more unsettling, imo.
I remember there being an Irish PSA/PIF about speeding that ended with a guy running over a whole kindergarten class. And it had a woman singing a slower version of "Sweet Child O Mine" by Guns n Roses in the background. Which was an... interesting choice.
I actually didn't notice that haha and yeah that PSA is 'Shame On You'. I have talked about it a lot for how bad it is
@@Zach.Rhi I just started to watch your videos and I love them is there a chance we can collaborate?
The train PSA was a global warming PSA that depicted a man standing on the tracks with a train approaching behind him. He says something along the lines of "The effects of global warming are decades away, so they won't effect me" before he steps out of the way to reveal a young child standing behind him, portraying who will bear the brunt of global warmings damage to the planet. It was pretty good.
Yeah I have talked about that one quite a few times, I think at this time I didn't know that but found out because other people commented that
I'll never forget the PSA with the chef that slips while holding a large pot full of hot oil.
SAME ITS BURNED INTO MY MEMORY
@@suducktivedits9451just like how the oil burned into the chef's face
Top Chef is the PSA name

what i find really strange is, most of the psa's on this list are from the uk, and although i was born in 2003 and live in london i dont remember ever seeing a psa on tv
Interesting, I didn't make this iceberg so the creator must be from the UK I don't know haha. They did respond to a comment on here which is awesome.
By the way the one I made is the Ultimate PSAs Iceberg and it took a long time
@@Zach.R That's really cool! I'll make sure to check that video out next
@@julz167 I appreciate it heaps! The video is at least 3x longer than this one haha
@@Zach.R Good thing I have no life whatsoever amd spend most of my time watching iceburg videos
Really wish you had gone into more detail about what these PSAs were supposed to be about because a lot of them are way too cryptic.
Yeah some of them I definitely should have but honestly a lot of PSAs don't really have much info about them
@@Zach.R the one that specifically confused me was the red banana one. Is there some epidemic of exploding bananas or something?
@@turkeycannon161 I would assume that it's about how land mines are made to look like toys
@@katehowden9206 okay but why a banana? And a red one at that?, if it's about things looking like toys you would think they would use a more generic toy a ball or something using a red banana is so cryptic it only raises further questions
@@turkeycannon161 LOL that's a good question, it's definitely a very strange PSA without context
The "Train" PSA could be one that shows real train accidents? One that the last video is really gruesome about a man getting crushed by the half between the train and the border of the platform??
No the Train is one of two possible Australian Psas that cuts between a herd of Horses pulling rope to a speeding train that can't stop, its either that one or the one with five different scenarios of people stuck on tracks with the train coming but they are helpless to get out of the way until the train hits and disappears.
I know that one. Is by the British Transport Police and is called 'Real Tracks Real Trains Real Life'
I have only ever seen it on one PSA/PIF compilation. It is pretty grim, and I am surprised it never gets a mention anywhere.
Your voice is soothing, I would watch more iceberg videos from you big bro
I appreciate it! Honestly might do another PSA iceberg in the future since this video has done so well but still going to make more videos. Maybe a video every week or two, still deciding
Just the description of "Can't Look" was incredibly upsetting… and we're only halfway through one of two videos on this subject. :|
Lemme guess at this point: The Africare "shoebox" ad comes up. I actually remember that one from when I was three. No joke.
God I remember seeing Padlock when I was 10 years old. It gave me nightmares for at least a week.
That didn't scare me that much but I understand how. But the pair of hands ends up giving me anxiety and fear, I think that one worked too well
I don't know what it is but the topic of dark PSA'S always facsinated me
I think the rocket one is that one condom psa with the d*ldo shaped rocket
I don't think so since in the iceberg they say it's a fireworks psa
I think it's the PSA where a guy lights an unsafe firework and it hits the girl behind him in the face as she screams.
@@ThePurringNinja yeah it is and I ended up finding it and adding it to my ultimate PSA iceberg

I think that warning signs is the Sandy Hook promise psa that is more widely known as "Evan"
Actually, this PSA on my chart is from the Heart Foundation which is the same company that did the "Make Health Last" PSA. The PSA is of a woman who is in the middle of a stroke or a heart attack, with a narrator telling us the signs but she has no one to help her.
But I should take I look at that one :)
@@likliklik9829 Ooohhh okay. Thank you for the clarification: )
i wanna say trains was a series of russian PSA cartoons where a bunch of teenagers try to train surf, hop on the tracks, jump turnstiles and commit vandalism only for one of the to get injured/die each attempt which leads to them buying a gadget that tries to make it safer for them but fails in doing so everytime. but i wouldn't say they were creepy or disturbing since they had a relatively humorous slapstick tone.
i think the official name is "can't buy a brain".
I don't think that's the series of PSAs they were talking about as I think in their iceberg it was a PSA not from Russia. But that series of PSAs is interesting and I do enjoy them
I loved to find ones I haven't heard of. I find it a good sense of inspiration for art and characters.
i remember one for aids or stds or something along those lines that was shown in australia , it had a family on a stage and a grim reaper looking fella throwing bowling balls at the family. eventually a mother and a baby are left and they get hit , it’s really scared me as a kid. it would’ve shown around 2014
That's the NACAIDS bowling PSA from 1987
@@Zach.R thank you
@@burntlemonade anytime! :)
Also, there's a song in "You're the guinea pig"! It's called 'you always hurt the ones you love'! There's also one that if I recall, uses "I daydream in blue" by I monster! I love PSAs that use music! I find it so fun to find what song is playing!
I think the "Train" title refers to a Global Warming PSA, about an adult man walking with his daughter to a train track saying "Why should I care about Global Warming?!" or something related to that, before being hit by a train. I heard it's a metaphor for not believing in Climate Change and the train symbolising the consequences of being too late if I'm correct.
yeah the ad plays out with him standing in front of the tracks saying "Oh I won't be around in 30 years so why does this effect me." and he steps to the side of the track revealing a young girl about to get ran down by the train as it speeds toward them
The snake guys weakness is you not buying drugs
A psa short film I always liked was Apache. It's a farm safety film where the kids all die in different ways around a farm.. also those Australian work safe ads that always play in the morning
In the hearing test thing, I heard a mix between laughter and crying for help
13:03 I think train is an Australian ad where a man is lying in a field with ropes tied around his wrists and ankles. Then we see a herd (herd?) of horses running through a field with the ropes tied to them. The man calmly explains the horsepower a train possesses before the ropes tighten and it cuts, presumably before the man is te@red ap@rt by the horses. I could be wrong though because that psa might also be called something like ‘Horsepower’. Cool video btw
They aren't referring to that PSA and by the way the one you're talking about is called 1000 horsepower and also thanks :)
@@Zach.RI found it! It shows a man standing on a train track talking about climate change. You then see a train approaching in the background. He says that he doesn’t care about climate change. It won’t affect him. He steps off the tracks to reveal a young girl standing on the tracks as the train gets very close. The video then cuts. Great psa and you should be able to find it somewhere on UA-cam.
@@DavidGraham-lmao Oh yeah that's the AdCouncil PSA about global warming
I love seeing a PSA Iceberg 🌸
Thank you!
Imagine what the neighbors must be feeling in the cartoon PSA
The "have a break"-psa scarred me so much as a kid. I would feel so bad about eating anything with palm oil in it.
5:57 if I had to guess, it's something related to the killing of girl children in rural areas india.
5:31 Griffith?
Griffith?
The "Rocket" PSA is about firework safety im pretty sure, there is a Parody with hey Arnold but they only use the audio and I think it is like the countdown one because they mention short fuses and keeping the fireworks in bags
How was 'Snake' placed in Child's Play? The mutant snake he turns into is pretty disturbing, and a little scary, in my opinion. I would've placed it somewhere between layers 2-4
OH MY GOD I WATCHED THE BIGGIE BEAR PSAs IT IS WILD
"Trains" I think is the UK PSA about awareness near train tracks where family is biking and playing eye-spy. The sister keeps trying to guess what her brother spotted, beginning with T before she walks in front of the family, turns around and says "Wait, is it a tracks?" and is hit by a train as it speeds past. This is what I can only guess this one is.
But maybe not as its very mild and probably wouldn't be so far down on the iceberg
I remember a PSA where a group of teenagers go to the beach, the twist is they suddenly die as they each step on landmines as it zooms out to a tall barbed wire fence and gate with a sign saying something in some Slavic language. I think it has something to do with the Balkans leftover minefields.
its actually about not skipping school (also its not an actual psa)
17:28 being from the area this couple was from, I remember when this was a huge local news story in January 2005. I think this happened the 5th of that month If I recall…stuff like this is why I hate winter around here.
One thing about the Red Banana PSA that I am still being confused until that day; is it really a PSA, or it's just a short film project by a group of people? I saw a PSA Wiki explained this as somewhat a "parody", since the PSA itself didn't have a clear message with contacts information to a certain oragnizations of goverments and no logo was available. Yeah...
Omg my comment gets hearted, much appreciate ❤, and yeah sorry for the grammar in my original comment. Would love to edit it again but it means I'll lose your heart reaction so yeah 😂
Hey man what’s your opinion on Charlie says?
Also Charlie is the cat not the kid
I know haha and they are alright PSAs. Just extremely simple and to the point but yeah I did pin a comment that talks about that where I accidentally called the kid Charlie
I never liked the Truth ads in the first place. Mainly because they're in general trying too hard. Personally I'm of the opinion people are allowed to do whatever to their bodies as long as it's not in excess and doing it at the legal age. Despite me not being either a drinker or a smoker.
Rocket is The Terrance Higgins Trust - Rocket (1995; UK)
18:35 this shows that the girl didn't say anything before the events happened during the PSA and that you should say something before the addiction begins
In the 'rocket' psa, someone sets up a firework incorrectly and was hit by a burst of fire, and possibly d*ing.
Holy sjit the icons PSA
I remember that one but not for the same reason I remember other PSAs
One year for Christmas (2021) I got the final destinations five film collection and the thing about that is the first 4 films were squeezed back to back into two cds whereas the 5th film was on its own cd, this meant the first 4 films couldn't have special features or intros or title screens or ads, but 5 could because it had its own disc
I didn't know 5 would have ads or anything and *_guess what the first fucking ad was_*
I got jumpscared so bad I didn't even notice what the PSA was about lmao
These PSA are pretty depressing and I had to stop watching the vid and watch something nice. Very good iceberg though I love scary and disturbing things but when it shows reality it hits harder than any horror film
The psa dealing with smoking companies tricking people with advertising and pop culture also aired on t.v. too but early in the morning on cartoon network in the early 2010's
Some of these are so confusing that I was constantly going “wtf?🤔”
I'm glad you mentioned Biggie Bear, powerful stuff...
The Australian speading PSAs are actually banned where I live, I'm pretty sure the only way to watch them (apart from like youtube obvi) in my state is by taking the class to get your Ls
Girl child could be referring to "together, we can find a child" from wireless amber alerts
I really said "Have a kitkat" after he said have a break
16:49 holy shit Lenny looks like Joe from You on Netflix if he was doing meth🤣😭
This is quite possibly the most disturbing iceberg I've ever seen even though I've seen most of the US ones. Now, I have the song stuck in my head: "I don't sleep and I don't eat, but I've got the cleanest house on the street. Ohhhhh m*th."
I honestly never got what the Biggie Bear PSAs were getting at to be honest, I _guess_ they could be trying to warn parents that their kids could have watching adult animated shows like Family Guy or South Park, but those types of shows are often very obviously not for children and aren't trying to decieve kids into watching them. Maybe I'm missing something.
Also no joke, I've seen the Red Banana PSA in another PSA iceberg video and its probably the only PSA that's ever caught me off guard and made me lose sleep at night. I thought it was gonna be another CSA one, imagine my shock when it wasn't.
biggie bear's message was pretty much about violence & sex in media and "pay attention to what your kids look at" which is a fairly reasonable message.
it's almost concerning how many people forget that parental ratings exist in media for a reason.
These videos have me in shock. God bless you all 💓
before this was suggested I watched a vintage farm safety psa those are brutal especially anything to do with the PTO shaft
18:45 Y’know I thought this was made in Germany but I must be getting it mistaken for some other PSA
Might be thinking of SWR. They made a few psas about tv violence as well.
Icons scared the shit out of me as a kid
Some ,I mean a lot of them really.. PSA make me tear up
The icons one was exposed to me when I was six because I was just trying to watch the incredible hulk
Adopt pets, don't buy.
Was the old guy in the Cancer Ward a teenager when he saw Flapper girl smoking? In other words a younger man in the 1920's?
The real question is why isn't Snake Guy in any video games? I would've love to fight against him. It could work for the sequel of Shadow the Hedgehog.
26:49 - he's not on heroin, but withdrawing from it.
Either way it's still effective
most shocking second a day in not scary when i saw it first i was so comfused what you meaned
I think I remember there being a Japanese psa about trains that had been lost media for a while, maybe that's what the train entry means? If I'm remembering correctly the psa was a black background with two sketch figures on it and train whistles would go off every Couple of seconds representing something that I don't remember what was
Hitogata!
Jesus Christ, why does Charlie have a death stare?
Ridley Scott did start out making adverts so the one he made isn’t that much of a surprise.
It isn't a surprise but it's cool as the PSA was after he made blade runner & alien
Sarah's story is from the UK not from the United States (Motor Nerone Disease or as its known in the US Ametropic Lateral Sclerosis) Motor Nerone Disease is the name of the larger group of conditions to do with degenerative effects on the parts of the spinal column that have to do with controlling the voluntary muscle systems (ALS the specific condition is also more commonly called Lou Gehrig's Disease it was famously the disease that left Stephen Hawking enfeebled in a motor chair like the one depicted in the PSA

On 'Deep End' I remember seeing the pif on tv
Why does the pusher look like Johnny rottern with sunglasses on
there are quite a few PSAs you couldnt find that can be found on HelloImpizza's PSA channel either under fifty scary us and Canada Psas or Fifty scary UK Pifs. And Fifty Scary Pifs Austraiia New Zealand. For three you couldnt find I know I have seen them there.
I have found most of the PSAs I couldn't find now aha
Ig the Girl Child PSA could be the PSA from Prerana
Well, I can add South Africa to the list of countries that play for keeps with their PSAs! The ones I already had on the list were Canada, Singapore, and the UK. 🇨🇦 🇸🇬 🇬🇧 🇿🇦
South Africa is amazing at making scarring psas, I don't find psas scary but the biggie bear psas made me stop watching them for half a year
The warning signs is by MTV I think, lemme find the link..
Honestly the fireworks culture in Netherlands was so surprising to me, the fact they even need that PSA there is what's disturbing to me, haha. A friend who is a nurse in the Netherlands was lamenting the fireworks injury flood they were expecting at the hospital during a time the system was already overburdened by covid and I asked about it.
Does anyone know the meaning of the "red banana" PSA?? Is it about explosives in the house???
Child testing
It is about land mines. But take that PSA as a grain of salt because it might not be a real PSA, but rather a short project
Imagine if biggie bear was an actual show and the events in the psas were actual events in the episodes there would probably be a #cancelbiggiebear hope that hashtag isn’t real
Update the hashtag doesn’t exist
warning signs was a sandy hook psa about school shooters! :)
It may have been but the actual PSA has a different name
"Airsoft is not a toy."
But it is tho.
Yeah but it can be dangerous in the wrong hands is the real issue
@@Zach.R Unfortunately true for lots of toys. This particular PSA misses the mark for me. Would have preferred if they'd just called it a "big kids' toy".

@@Zach.R
Your original reply said 'One mistake who cares'.
Really didn't appreciate that as a subscriber who evidently does care about these ultimately very basic facts about the PSAs you're researching - enough to have left a comment.
I hope you improve how you recieve criticism in the future and take just that slight bit more care, if not for the quality of your content, but for the integrity of the information you present to people who may not already be informed.
@@0zzysaurus it's literally one mistake and you are acting like one mistake completely puts you off the video which is ridiculous. I can take criticism I have taken plenty of it and other comments are a great example of this. It's maybe just the way I heard you say it I thought you were saying it in more of an aggressive way and if so that's my bad. If I didn't care about the quality of my videos I would be pumping them out daily.
@@0zzysaurus and yes I originally did say that because as I said in my last response I must have heard what you said the wrong way and I will take full responsibility for that if that is the case
Edit: and that's why I edited the original comment because I felt like I read your original comment the wrong way
@@Zach.R
You're right, this video does have a fair few comments suggesting how you can improve and make your content better, as well as pointing out mistakes or gaps in knowledge. Little errors tend to build up into making a not particularly satisfying video to watch, and it did put me off. It's not ridiculous, it's a genuine response from a member of your audience. My original tone wasn't great - but that was a genuine comment of disappointment.
It's not about being totally apathetic like throwaway Top Ten listicle channels who pump out (what is essentially at this point) disinformation daily - and I'm not suggesting that you're like those channels at all, cus I don't think your content is anywhere close to being that lazy. It's about taking that extra amount of time to not leave yourself open to little mistakes, especially if you don't have the pressure of a fixed upload schedule.
Also, on a side note: some of the entries really could do with more than just a summary of events, eg. if there isn't much behind-the-scenes context for a PSA, maybe include contemporary statistics about the topics the PSAs are talking about, and whether or not anything has changed since. It might also help to add brief explainations to help clarify a topic. For example, there could've been a simple explaination of what motor-neurons disease is and how it affects people in real life for the Sarah's Story PSA. I just think it would make each point on the iceberg more interesting and bulk up the content.
Some PSAs are almost like short films, and taking the time to analyse them in a more literature-based perspective could also really add some life to entries that don't have much else going for them; eg. the man in the RSPCA Puppy video is the family's father, and there's an element of shame felt seeing the patriarch of the family avoiding accountability. It helps to drives home a sense of responsibility in the viewer. A PSA is designed to evoke a response, so assess how exactly it does that.
Just trying to give some genuine advice/criticism. Thank you for apologising for responding how you did, though. I do appreciate that.
I think heads might be a meth psa about a guy cutting his kids head off while high on meth. It’s on helloimapizza’s redux version of the top 50 drug psas. That’s about the only place to find it though I think.
