PSA Nightmares: European Association of Pediatrics and Duracell UK - Power Safely
This is a PIF released by Duracell UK and the European Association of Paediatrics to tell parents why their water head kids shouldn’t eat coin, button and watch batteries. So they went the Nintendo Switch route by putting a bitter coating on the batteries to make them taste bad. Why? With the Nintendo Switch that had the opposite effect as everyone tries putting the game cartridges in their mouth. This is gonna be the same thing. Also, could Duracell UK get someone who doesn’t have a thick as hell accent to do this PIF? And I thought I was a dumbass kid for trying to swallow button cell batteries. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JCpuXEylN8
This is a criminality underrated classic. Everyone in the 80s and 90s did PSAs. This is no different. The WB was an unexpected PSA producer around the late 90s

This was the first commercial for Pokemon Red and Blue in the US. Why did Nintendo decide, "Let’s have a Ralph Kramden looking mfer crush Pokemon into a Game Boy"? Is it any wonder the series was able to survive after that ad?

This commercial from 1989 had the fucking Herculean task of making Tetris seem exciting. Surprisingly, they managed to pull it off. You know the whole stereotype about Russian circuses having performing bears? Well, this commercial feeds into that shit

This was an ad for Despicable Me 3 that ran on Telemundo. Using Ana Maria Polo and Minions? At least it’s a better fit than Inazuma Eleven and Minions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IpP41RrN58

An AIDS PSA from the CDC featuring country music stars, nothing like it. Except, aren't people from the American South kinda homophobic towards anyone with the AIDS virus, even if they aren't Hattian, hemophiliac, homosexual or a heroin user

No one touched this? Ok. This is a new PIF by THINK! and a fucking ridiculous way to promote not drinking and driving. Then again, so is crashing beer glasses into each other and using an actual vehicular accident. Drink driving PSAs have really went down the poop-hole over the last 30 years, huh?

Finally found the rare MADD Hispanic Underage Drinking film PSAs thanks to the help of Adalberto Robles. He came through in the clutch. As I said in my PSA Nightmares Most Wanted video, these PSAs were 8 shades of fucked up. They were made to look like alcohol ads and were a pleasant bit of bait and switch

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
