In that universe, singing and dancing are free actions, and it is perfectly sensible and prudent that they should do that during an emergency. She physically cannot die during a musical number, and by staging one, they are making sure that the ambulance has enough time to arrive.
The problem with this PSA is that it's confusing to the viewer. Unless they really pay attention to the very end they will go away believing it's a comedy bit
I mean it’s not really that straight forward if you’ve been explicitly told to not call for help and they’ve been drugged out in front of you before so you don’t know what’s a sign of just being high vs overdosing
One time I saw one about child abduction and the music in the background was called, "Beware The Friendly Stranger." The thing that got me was that it's the same music used in Salad Fingers 😭
when i was seven, i saw my mom overdose in her bathtub; she had miscarried a few week old fetus the night before, and shot up more black-tar than she should have. that was in the last year that i ever saw her. the cops narcaned her, and she was fine after. but, i was taken away by cps. no kid should have to learn this, but they need to.
@@LizLuvsCupcakes i had to grow up so fast, now i'm seventeen, and finally able to be a semi-kid. the other day i got a kinder-egg, and was so happy that a toy came with it. it was scary, but it was all i knew. she had her demons, she never could vanish them. thank you for the kind words
agree my mom isnt an addict but since she has chronic depression he had a dumb idea of taking idk what drug and he had an overdose gladly shes well now
When I was 11 yrs old I found my step dad shaking uncontrollably on the floor in his office. I don't believe it was an accidental overdose but he never told us if it was a suicide attempt. It scared me so bad and I think about it often that if I wasn't going to ask my dad for homework help he wouldn't be with me now.
That’s horrible I’m so sorry you went through that. Seeing stories like this and my own personal experience it makes me realize even on my darkest days that my actions and life can affect those around me.
I honestly thought it was supposed to be dark comedy until the end where it said no kid should have to learn this stuff. And they shouldn't. Though I wonder if that says more about the kind of comedy that gets produced these days than it does about my ability to discern what a given video is...
This comes off as like a comedian writing a joke... but they clearly went through some serious trauma as a kid. Gosh, how did it take me five years to watch this?! ❤
This hurts, my mom didn't do drugs but i had some similar lessons i learned young. Dont tell people at school if we ate. Dont tell the dr how you really feel, let mom talk for you. Dont ask for anything new, wear underwear till its all ripped or digs so far into your skin that you bleed. Dont tell people at school mom hurts you. Dont, ever tell the teachers your bedroom has no door. Honestly if i said something i probably could have saved my brothers from suffering the same trauma i did but, how could i have known?
Happily living with my dad now. His only rules are "did you try turning it on and off before calling support?" "Can we fix it with ductape first?" And "never, ever, let anyone tell you you're not good enough" He's a god damn saint.
I came home from school once when I was I think in 3rd or 4th grade and was told my mom passed out so she had to be taken to the hospital. She later told us the truth when I was in 9th grade and told us she had overdosed on drugs. We knew she was doing some at the time when we were living with her but never knew an overdose was possible.
An overdose can look different depending on the drug. My dad just stopped breathing and went completely blue, there was no shaking no foaming, just stillness and the change of skin color.
The point is not to teach children about signs of overdose. The point is to shock some sense into the community that children are learning this kind of thing- the purpose is to raise money for their charity that does drug prevention and recovery work
Yes one of my friends just went down and wasn’t breathing nor making any noises (he’s okay now but he had fluid in his lungs) a different friend was foaming at the mouth shaking the whole 9 (he made it) and then I have multiple friends where there was no one around to save them and they died fucked up and alone. Im three Years clean and so ducking grateful I don’t live this life anymore. Though someone I know (basically a sister) is still using (so I have to keep my distance). But she has a son and he’s def old enough to know now. I think I was being naive for thinking he (the son) was clueless for this long. I really don’t want anymore of my friends or loved ones to die from this shit
Thought this video was going to be a dark humor thing about having a addict parent; something I can relate to. Didn’t expect it to hit hard relatable with “don’t call a ambulance”…….grew up being told that all the time even if they were really bad…..later in life lost one parent from overdosing and the other got sober because of it.
cant reply to the one above me, but this one actually does. the theming feels like something out of sesame street, and the dark message could easily be a lesson taught to kids in a rick and morty dimension. its genuinely like something out of interdimensional cable.
Mine always said, "Don't tell anyone or they will take you away from me." Nothing about what to do if she was actively dying. No one should have to go through this. The song is fire tho.
parents shouldn’t be telling their kids to not tell anyone something because they might be taken away. these parents know that they are doing something wrong and hurting the kids
@@rawrxd666 honestly you cant blame them, they still love their kids but they are physically reliant on whatever drug they take, their minds are chemically bonded to keep on using them, most of the time drug addictions start when they are careless teens too
@terg8472 They may love their kids but they do not deserve them. Not all people deserve to be parents hence the saying every kid deserves parents but not all parents deserve kids. Parents who are addicts are not worthy of being around kids if they couldn't even have the common sense to take care of their own well being so bringing kids in the world of their own addiction is very dcked up. It's the same logic as raising any living being, I love pets but if I know I have problems going on where I cannot properly look after them then no pet should be with me till I fix those problems.
@@terg8472this is such a stupid argument, you wouldn’t knowingly traumatise someone if you gave half a shit about them. If they were capable of caring about anyone they would either avoid getting pregnant or give the kid to real parents. My mother wasn’t the victim of substances, she was the perpetrator
Degeneracy may not be the best word, nor the most accurate, some may argue. I don't think you can shame these people into seeking help or recovering - in fact I think shaming a person is a pretty quick way to get them to shy away from seeking help and encourage them to partake in the behaviour harming themselves and those they have a responsibility for, therefore making their behaviour all the more dangerous. This PSA, I think, aims to shock as oppose to shame. It targets the empathetic, parental aspects of a parent/guardian who is using drugs, that which might be buried under the behaviours, thought processes and/or other external causes which contribute to their repeated drug abuse, appealing "around" those things that cause them to be negligent - that cause them to be written off as negligent and uncaring, bad people - as oppose to shaming them for those things. Whether or not that method works, I genuinely wouldn't know.
This actually made me cry, I come from a big family of addicts. No kid should have to witness anything like that, it takes their childhood from them and forces them to become the parent at such a young age. I'm sad now.....
It's a terribly sad world when you have ti teach your kid, YOUR CHILD the one who looks up to you who only knows your the safe place. What overdosing is, to the "parents" who still use around their kids...if you don't learn soon I hope their taken from you, they deserve better and you know it
Only at the end…? The entire thing is shock value to shake some sense into parents who use in front of their children by shedding light on the fact that no child should ever have to know anything about this but it’s a sad reality that some do need to know this information.
I think the worst part is that those parents either don't care or don't realize how fucking much their traumatizing their kids. Literally givibg them the constant fear that they might die
@@mynameisharry8739 Most parents in these situations probably never wanted their kids in the first place and had them unintentionally so they unfortunately don't care
@@royalgarden18Thats always it. They obviously had no intent for kids but unfortunately they never heard of protection and now they are legally obligated to keep the kid along with their addiction to drugs meaning now an innocent being suffers for nothing.
This... is... Something. I dont have words, i was disturbed, worried for the mom, dreppesef at the end. UA-cam just showed this in my home and now im disturbed.
That's such a clever way to show this. They used a format common among kids' education shows because the point they were making was "no child should learn a lesson like this." I aspire to that kind of stuff
I felt like this was a page from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared at first, but remembered that Sesame Street did some realistic PSA shit about death when I was a little brat back in the late 70s/early 80s, and then Mr. Rogers talked about war later on. We need PSAs like these tbh, as sad as it is.
Calling an ambulance will help to keep a person alive, but it won't help with poverty. Ambulance and ER costs are stupidly expensive in the world's greatest nation, the great US of A. That's probably part of the full context for why Josi's mother didn't want an ambulance to ever be called. It isn't just about avoiding the law.
I think the point is more so that children should NOT need to know this, as in their parents shouldn't be overdosing in front of them and putting it on them to be the one to save their lives. The miracle of their arrival apparently was not enough. I had a good friend growing up who got hooked on H by the time she was 16. Sad story, she had 2 sons and the oldest was born addicted and has non verbal autism. The second, she was briefly staying with me in the cold winter months while halfway through her second pregnancy and she would leave all day and have me watch her kid because she was out getting high. Periodically he would look up and go to the door and look, waiting for her to come back. I would tell him "not right now, we have to wait, let's watch Shrek" and it would distract him again, but if he ever woke up while his parents were still asleep he would cry and wail. He knew that they would do that in front of him when they were sleeping in their car. I can't even imagine a defenseless disabled toddler, screaming in the back seat because he doesn't understand why they won't wake up. The boys live with the older ones father's mother now.
I mean... yeah, children shouldn't have to witness their parents taking drugs, let alone overdosing. And the best way to prevent that is better and *accurate* education on the effects of drugs and decriminalization so that people who are suffering from addiction feel safe getting help. Addiction is a devastating illness and while it often is a result of bad choices, it can also be a result of bad luck. Lots of people get hooked on heroin after being put on opiates for chronic pain or after injuries.
My parents battled drug addictions. My dad got clean 20 years ago and my mom's been clean for about 3 years. I've unfortunately had to call 911 when my mom OD'd when I was a kid. Very horrifiying.
Me: this tune goes so hard "Mom always says, dont call an ambulance unless im shaking or foaming from the mouth" -Josi Age 6 Me: *breaks down crying* That got dark so fast, but it did its job effectively
BRAVO! 👏 The true ability of a Pro Entertainer is being able to blend Feelings & Thoughts into the same story. This went from 'Muppets doing things you've never thought of before' to 'OMFG this is legitimately a PSA for all ages' to 'Reality Hits you in the ballz like a cinderblock on a rope' when the Final Message reads on-screen. Fantastic blend of Comedy & Tragedy, Crew who made this!
@Hallows Gremlin i like local 58, channel seven and if youre looking for a one off thing to take up abt a few minutes then look for Unique channel 17. Enjoy Gremlin!
Shaking and foaming at the mouth is a seizure, not an overdose. Overdose is slow/no breathing with skin turning blue. A PSA from your friendly neighborhood paramedic.
This was so beautiful and amazing I really like how they used the muppets to attract children I hope this helps children who has parents that suffer from this honestly tysm for making this video
Glad to see some empathy and compassion in the comments instead of the usual rabid drug user shaming. Humiliating someone is the exact wrong way to get them to change and get help. Helping addicts understand why they need help and that they're probably hurting those around them including themselves is such a powerful tool.
Most of the time they don't want to try and get help so they are asking for said humiliation hence the media usually jokes about it through dark humor. People will do what they want and often stupid things they do have consequences. It's not other people's job to baby you if you refuse to have common sense and not do addictive drugs to begin with. Do whatever if you wish as long as it's legal obviously but once you break the law that's your own fault, it's also not fair to drag your family into your problems. That's where the shame aims at technically, not the drug user but the said user being selfish.
I once had to see my mom withdraw from her medicine, that was pretty scary. I remember her calling me into her room and telling me “I feel like I’ve been run over a truck!” And something else that I don’t remember off the top of my head. Later that day me and my dad went to my grandmas and when we came back, we saw my mom on the floor and we remember her saying that she didn’t even know how she got there. Days after that happened I remember her telling me that she apparently had a seizure when me and my dad were gone, that’s why she was on the floor. It was pretty scary, but I’m used to scary things like this. I’ve been used to messed up things since I was a baby.
Man….that caption at the end of the song…..that poor Fuckin kid has to grow up in a FUCKIN HEROIN DEN no kid should ever have to know what dope O.D or how to save their parents from an O.D breaks my Fuckin heart 😢
As somebody who lives in an area full of crackheads and a sister, who befriended one of their kids. It’s extremely sad to see. (and no, I won’t take back what I said that’s what they are. They don’t care about anything but drugs)
I worked for 7 months in a school for behaviorally and emotionally challenged students, K-12. There were only a couple dozen students, but three of the kids had been the ones who found their moms dead from a drug overdose.
I feel bad for Josi, no 6 year old’s mum should ever have the need to tell their child that. She shouldn’t have to worry about her mum. She shouldn’t see her mum doing drugs, it’s genuinely sad.
Poverty and addiction are closely related. Drug usage skyrocketed in the former USSR after it was illegally dissolved and children had to resort to prostitution to feed their families. Conclusion? You can severely reduce addiction by abolishing capitalism. Socialist countries have far lower addicts per Capita than countries like the United States
You know its really sad that some families houses and kids have to live with this, especially young children, and it is so sad to see PSA’s about drugs done for children to deal with these family issues
What an effective PSA. It starts like a really dark parody, goes into dark satire, and then hits you with "yeah, but this is real too."
I just like the song

Calling an ambulance will help to keep a person alive, but it won't help with poverty. Ambulance and ER costs are stupidly expensive in the world's greatest nation, the great US of A. That's probably part of the full context for why Josi's mother didn't want an ambulance to ever be called. It isn't just about avoiding the law.
What if you don’t live in the U.S.? I think I’ll be fine

True enough.
My home nation is truly a capitalist wonderland.
@@MrNobody47710 What nation would that be?

The great US of A.

I think the point is more so that children should NOT need to know this, as in their parents shouldn't be overdosing in front of them and putting it on them to be the one to save their lives. The miracle of their arrival apparently was not enough.
I had a good friend growing up who got hooked on H by the time she was 16. Sad story, she had 2 sons and the oldest was born addicted and has non verbal autism. The second, she was briefly staying with me in the cold winter months while halfway through her second pregnancy and she would leave all day and have me watch her kid because she was out getting high. Periodically he would look up and go to the door and look, waiting for her to come back. I would tell him "not right now, we have to wait, let's watch Shrek" and it would distract him again, but if he ever woke up while his parents were still asleep he would cry and wail. He knew that they would do that in front of him when they were sleeping in their car. I can't even imagine a defenseless disabled toddler, screaming in the back seat because he doesn't understand why they won't wake up. The boys live with the older ones father's mother now.
I mean... yeah, children shouldn't have to witness their parents taking drugs, let alone overdosing. And the best way to prevent that is better and *accurate* education on the effects of drugs and decriminalization so that people who are suffering from addiction feel safe getting help. Addiction is a devastating illness and while it often is a result of bad choices, it can also be a result of bad luck.
Lots of people get hooked on heroin after being put on opiates for chronic pain or after injuries.
My parents battled drug addictions. My dad got clean 20 years ago and my mom's been clean for about 3 years. I've unfortunately had to call 911 when my mom OD'd when I was a kid. Very horrifiying.
It’s sad that we have to have these PSAs, but we need them. Also, Avenue Q oddly prepared us for this…
Still a banger
0:12 PHFFFFF-
I legit thought this was a comedy sketch up until 1:23
"don't call an ambulance" that part is the realest
1:03 Yeah. My mom is having an overdose. * starts dancing *
my cousin died of an accidental overdose, it was a new medication and didn’t know how much to take… so always ask your doctor follow up questions
The guy: "That's An Overdose! :D"
The mom: *belaugheribality*
Wait is this a real psa? I thought this was a half joke vid by some college student
Another banger 🔥🔥
Me: this tune goes so hard
"Mom always says, dont call an ambulance unless im shaking or foaming from the mouth"
-Josi Age 6
Me: *breaks down crying*
That got dark so fast, but it did its job effectively
Jim Henson's worst nightmare!
BRAVO! 👏
The true ability of a Pro Entertainer is being able to blend Feelings & Thoughts into the same story.
This went from 'Muppets doing things you've never thought of before' to 'OMFG this is legitimately a PSA for all ages' to 'Reality Hits you in the ballz like a cinderblock on a rope' when the Final Message reads on-screen.
Fantastic blend of Comedy & Tragedy, Crew who made this!
The fact that this needs to exist as a PSA is just depressing.
Welcome to humanity
I wish this type of content doesn't exist, but I'm glad it does. Even if it saves just one life, it is purpose enough.
At first I was like "ok, a humorously dark PSA" and then I see the quote at the end and my heart fucking shatters.
WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE ER WITH THIS ONE💀💀🥶🥶
BRO 💀
I bet this legit helped some people out.
Here from The Internet Investigator - popped up in my recommendations after watching her PSA video haha
@Hallows Gremlin dont hug me im scared moment? :o
@Hallows Gremlin lol sounds like me and my sister with analog creepypastas. The computer song is a banger tho.
@Hallows Gremlin i like local 58, channel seven and if youre looking for a one off thing to take up abt a few minutes then look for Unique channel 17. Enjoy Gremlin!
@Hallows Gremlin and always remember to put analog horror after it if you have trouble finding it!
@Hallows Gremlin :)
Shaking and foaming at the mouth is a seizure, not an overdose. Overdose is slow/no breathing with skin turning blue. A PSA from your friendly neighborhood paramedic.
Oh shoot, they’re all blue.
@@Pandacaliforniaoh.... oh no....
this feels like an SNL sketch
The mother: *high out of her mind needing to go to the ER*
The boys: 🕺🕺
the quote at the end is the scariest part of everything.
This was so beautiful and amazing I really like how they used the muppets to attract children I hope this helps children who has parents that suffer from this honestly tysm for making this video
Glad to see some empathy and compassion in the comments instead of the usual rabid drug user shaming. Humiliating someone is the exact wrong way to get them to change and get help. Helping addicts understand why they need help and that they're probably hurting those around them including themselves is such a powerful tool.
Most of the time they don't want to try and get help so they are asking for said humiliation hence the media usually jokes about it through dark humor. People will do what they want and often stupid things they do have consequences. It's not other people's job to baby you if you refuse to have common sense and not do addictive drugs to begin with. Do whatever if you wish as long as it's legal obviously but once you break the law that's your own fault, it's also not fair to drag your family into your problems. That's where the shame aims at technically, not the drug user but the said user being selfish.
Mr Krabs in AI SpongeBob be like
I once had to see my mom withdraw from her medicine, that was pretty scary. I remember her calling me into her room and telling me “I feel like I’ve been run over a truck!” And something else that I don’t remember off the top of my head. Later that day me and my dad went to my grandmas and when we came back, we saw my mom on the floor and we remember her saying that she didn’t even know how she got there. Days after that happened I remember her telling me that she apparently had a seizure when me and my dad were gone, that’s why she was on the floor. It was pretty scary, but I’m used to scary things like this. I’ve been used to messed up things since I was a baby.
Wonder Showzen never really ended
Man….that caption at the end of the song…..that poor Fuckin kid has to grow up in a FUCKIN HEROIN DEN no kid should ever have to know what dope O.D or how to save their parents from an O.D breaks my Fuckin heart 😢
As somebody who lives in an area full of crackheads and a sister, who befriended one of their kids. It’s extremely sad to see.
(and no, I won’t take back what I said that’s what they are. They don’t care about anything but drugs)
The mom overdosing looks like Norman from the Interpol music video for the song Evil.
Definetly. Just as creepy too. I think the Norman puppet was discovered recently in bad condition and then restored.
My mom, brother and best friend all overdosed and passed away. I miss them every day.
"mom always knows best"... well dam
I worked for 7 months in a school for behaviorally and emotionally challenged students, K-12. There were only a couple dozen students, but three of the kids had been the ones who found their moms dead from a drug overdose.
Thanks for making me laugh and cry
This is a real bop
Season 2 of Don't hug me I'm scared looking good
This is what sesame street in Ohio is like.
Those Overdose Puppets May Have Potential to Be New Characters Of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared
I feel bad for Josi, no 6 year old’s mum should ever have the need to tell their child that. She shouldn’t have to worry about her mum. She shouldn’t see her mum doing drugs, it’s genuinely sad.
how come every household where parent has substance abuse problem has that same blanket/throw on the back of the couch?
Poverty and addiction are closely related. Drug usage skyrocketed in the former USSR after it was illegally dissolved and children had to resort to prostitution to feed their families. Conclusion? You can severely reduce addiction by abolishing capitalism. Socialist countries have far lower addicts per Capita than countries like the United States
Funny as fuck but the end message wiped the smile off my face ngl
Omg watching this is like a fever memory, wow
Well... That hit hard.
You know its really sad that some families houses and kids have to live with this, especially young children, and it is so sad to see PSA’s about drugs done for children to deal with these family issues
