    The "Millennium Bug" was a real issue at the time. The fact that not a lot happened was because of the many hours people like myself put in, amending software to stop it. So the PIF served its purpose.

    14:12 It's 2021 and I've seen idiots go up the side of am articulated lorry turning left a few times this year already! I also work in a supermarket and the drivers of our deliveries have told me it's an almost daily occurrence for those who drive into cities.

    14:18 They’re not necessarily trying to teach how to use a staircase as they are educating about how to use a staircase _safely_, with a target audience being the newly-disabled and the old folks. In other words, they are aiming for people who need to start being more careful on and around stairs than maybe they are used to. My mom’s not quite old yet (8 years before that happens), but she does have health conditions that started fairly recently, including one that started up in the Summer of 2014 that affects her balance and mobility. Oh, sure, she can still do a wobbly limp about the house, but she’s so used to carefree movement that she needs reminders not to do things like turn quickly or rush at standing up, and she needs lots of help with stairs the few times she manages to leave home.

    Also some of these are useful in America, like the ladder one. I was never informed that was an option.

      Literally so many people die from accidents on the stairs, especially older people

    10) LOL, VHS. My god, I'm old for remembering VHS... Back in my day, sonny...
    9) Relevant... kinda? Don't play around the electrical shit. Did anyone actually know anybody who got killed like that? You are right though, nobody breaks into power stations anymore. Everyone knows it's stupid.
    8) Do people even still polish their floors anymore?
    7) Smoking in a cinema. Jeez... Good message, outdated execution.
    6) What a whimsical commercial. c: They're advertising for something that you by definition have to use.
    5) what. :)
    4) Important message, but did it really need a PIF? Though to be fair, I had to learn how to properly use a ladder for my last job as well...
    3) Okay but using the stairs actually *can* be dangerous in the extreme if you're elderly. This actually *did* need to be made, it just didn't need to be made for *you*.
    2) Again, something that needed to be said, because people are stupid... don't fuck around with trucks.
    1) Hey, it's Y2K brought to you by the Slender Man. Yes, because Y2K was such a problem. LOL.

    Actually, it was a PIF telling you how to send for a PAMPHLET to teach you how to use a ladder. Come to think of it, that's even dumber, huh? But seriously, my dad was an electrical contractor, and yeah, don't screw around with electricity.

  • @bluegrassbaby86
    @bluegrassbaby86 10 років тому +9

    The first one is the most annoying commercial I've ever seen in my life. I was actually looking for the skip ad button not realizing it was actually a PIF.
    I hope it's okay to do this, but I have a bit of a suggestion for these top 10s. Do you think you could add some audio during the parts where it goes silent? Maybe some music or something if you're not going to speak the text you have written on the screen? I'd also really love to hear what your reviews are, but when it goes silent you have any blind viewers of this vid yelling. "PLAY STUPID!!" at their computer.

    • @BacktothePast
      @BacktothePast  10 років тому +1

      I've finished making the series now, but I'm planning on perhaps providing a brief summary of my thoughts on the PIFs in the video descriptions.

    • @bluegrassbaby86
      @bluegrassbaby86 10 років тому +1

      Thanks. I'd love to see them. Also, what I said was the most annoying commercial was actually an ad from UA-cam, not one of your PIFs. The first actual PIF that wasn't a brief clip was the piracy one where the guy bought a bad tape and was trying to take it back, wasn't it? Apparently UA-cam showed two ads before your video, one that was skippable and one that wasn't, and the second one that played yesterday went on and on. The fact that it sounded American should havbe been the clue I guess. I've just never known UA-cam to play two ads in a row.

    Seeing all these electrical and train pifs from back in the 70s-90s always makes me think “what was so boring about life back then that kids needed to dick around power stations and railroads?”

    • @cius96
      @cius96 2 роки тому +1

      All the technological devices we have today (computers, smartphones, smart tvs etc...) didn't exist back then, thus kids used to spend way more time playing outside and some parents used to let them free to explore the surroundings withouth keeping an eye on them. And shit happens, expecially when you're a kid and you weren't taught how to avoid risks / you lack common sense or you're not sensible enough. Look for the PIF called "Apache", it shows how dangerous it was to play in a farm (and at the end there are some captions informing us about how many children were involved in those lethal accidents back then)
