      A Day will come, darker than any night. The Damned will rise from their holes and the unbelievers will be crushed. The Rivers will run red and the apples will be bitter.
      This day is still far away. And there are only two who know what you have done on this day. You. And Me. And I will be there. I can wait.
      You cannot stop it. It is your calling. It is part of you. The more you fight it, the more you engage. The more it digs into the deepest parts of your mind.
      It is too late. They don't understand what I am talking about. But you do Sunboi. You do, dont ya? I will be there. It will be easy.

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

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

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

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

Too bad because you spent a good amount of time compiling a great selection of creepy and weird PSA's/advertisment's just as the title describes. No insult to you particularly, Just I came to see the inappropriate T.V programming, with your (hopefully) witty funny and clever commentary as an afterthought.

Every single detail sounds like a nightmare that surely couldn’t be real. She was essentially flailed alive for 45 seconds. She watched the flames creep near her as the paramedics yelled “I can’t get her out!”. All because a teenager drank and drive. He got 7 years in prison. Jacqui would never fully heal. She passed away in 2019. Not all victims of drunk driving die.

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

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

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

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

I asked her what she would do if we had to go see her. She replied to me that she would go alone so I wouldn’t be scared and would sit down with her and talk about her story over a cup of coffee. Being so young, my mom’s comment made me realize that victims like Jacqueline are HUMAN and not just a “shocking face”, which made it even more devastating.

    There was this one PSA that absolutely traumatized me as a very young kid. It aired on like nickelodeon or cartoon network or some other kids' channel, and I guess it was meant to warn children about the dangers of playing in the street / not obeying the rules of the road. There are two main details I remember: #1 it contained a group of kids creepily singing 'ring around the rosy', and #2 it ended with a shot of a kid's bike lying on its side on the street with its wheels still spinning (presumably in the aftermath of an accident) while the line "we all fall down" played.

      Mine is "Jacqueline" by Txdot. I still have anxiety when the title pops up on a PSA compilation. I feel bad because it wasn't her fault she got burned but it scarred me as a kid. They used to have her picture put up in one of the gas stations in my town where the beer was and I was always scared shitless going in. My brother and I were on UA-cam and we found a video of her and it showed graphic crime scene pics and when they pulled her out of the fire. Like, I don't even know if it's still on UA-cam bc it was gruesome. I stopped sleeping without nightlights and going out at night on my own. Even standing on my porch at night gave me bad anxiety when I was a kid. It's not as bad now but it still haunts me and I can't bring myself to watch the video

    Growing up in the UK I still distinctly remember 4 different adverts that always stayed with me. (These where all on children's tv channels)
    The first was a drunk driving add where you watch a group of kids walk into the woods to have a picnic and suddenly a drunk driver barrels through the hedge and kills them all.
    The second was a speeding one where a little girl was laying at the side of the road bleeding. She talked about if she'd been hit at a slower speed, she might have lived.
    One was about consent where this boy was forcing himself on a girl and another version of himself was stuck behind a sheet of glass and he was banging and screaming and begging for himself not to do what he was about to do.
    And the last one that really fucked me up was one where a little boy is climbing a tree while his dad's on the phone and he falls out of the tree and isn't breathing. You're made to believe that a woman (who's works for the ambulance) is watching from the window and she runs outside only for you to realise she's in a complelty different house and is running out to get her washing in before it rains and the kid is dying a few streets away. It was about ambulances not being able to be there when you need them because of fake callers or something.

    There were two british psa's not on this list that scared me shitless as a kid;
    1) A railway safety psa (would have been between 2007-2010), where a car tried to cross the tracks when the barriers were down and either broke down or just instantly got hit. There was a shot of the train coming straight towards the camera that haunted me
    2) THINK's "Tales of the Road" campaign, started 2008. They were a series of posters and videos aimed at kids, telling them how to be safe around the road, with messages like "wear a helmet", "wear bright colours at night", and "find a safe place to cross the road". They were animated and designed with almost a Tim Burton look, with sunken eyes and the kids having all sorts of bruises and crutches. Fucking mortifying

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