You might remember this PSA from my PSA Nightmares Live episode on racism. This PSA from Spain is good, really good. Using classical music is a plus ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agZ4DpIEeBw
A Finnish PSA this time and holy dog nuts it's crap. Maybe it's a little too artsy for a speeding PSA. Simply telling people about what happens when you speed would suffice

Say what you will, this track is a jam. It's no Pharell with Justin Timberlake for McDonald’s but it is a banger nonetheless. If Checker's released a single of this track, I'd buy it because it’s that well made

This is a commercial for AT&T. Yeah, AT&T reached Japan and Korea. About the commercial, yeah it's schmaltzy but at least they tried.

For a PSA about the use of masks to stop the Coronavirus, Warner Media made wearing one seem rather fucking seamless by comparison by putting masks on all the movies they have in their library. I am just impressed by the leaps and bounds of computer technology in these times and using it for a PSA about wearing a mask is kind of fucking cool

This is an ad for the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Can you guess where this ad was broadcast? MTV? Nickelodeon? Try PAX TV. No wonder the console failed, they was advertising on the Christian network

Were the makers at Tiger Toys smoking crack? Who thought a lollipop that uses bone conduction to play music in your head was a good idea? No wonder this never caught on. I'd hate having to hurt my fucking jaw for a lollipop. Worst part is, you couldn’t refill the Sound Bites with your own lollipops. Kudos for using Summer Sanders and Danny Tamberelli in this ad

This might just be one of the most beautiful PSAs ever conceived by the Finnish. The group is called Suojatie or Zebra Crossing in English. This is the best marriage of song and subject matter ever. This PSA is about making sure kids can cross the street safely. The song, Niin Kaunis on Maa was written as a tribute to a student of the song's writer Kari Rydman who died when he was hit by a car. https://yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2008/03/20/niin-kaunis-maa. The fact that the group's name is Suojatie and song and subject matter, this was very clever.

A PSA from Chile this time. So Ilustre Municipalidad de Macul came out with a podcast via Spotify to help prevent car accidents and I honestly think that is fucking brilliant. Podcasts are the most binged thing when you're on the bus or train. Hell, I'm binging DId You Know Gaming's podcast on Spotify myself. Whoever at Ilustre Municipalidad de Macul in Chile that thought to do this, you are a fucking genius

First off, why is Patricia Conde the blonde chick from Sé lo que hicisteis... doing a commercial for shoe savings? And why the fuck did she buy time on tv to talk about El Corte Ingles' shoe deals?
