The one I and Samuel/samtstudio6 needs to finish is VSC Disney Warning VHS.
The BBFC U Warning i found was on a user because I promise as user for uploading the collection for warner home video. Thanks for watching
Rated E for Exempt.

The way the woman on the PG one says "sexy scenes" always made me laugh when i was little xD
She enjoyed that didn't she
That’s Floella Benjamin, at the time a popular children’s television presenter.
SAME LMAOO i use to quote this whole thing whenever it would come on
Ahem, Roger Rabbit? And the skinny dipping in Jaws?
Me too. This suddenly popped into my head and I asked my boyfriend if he remembered the video certificate adverts, and he didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. I quoted that part to him, and then I googled it and found it 😂 it was exactly how I’d remembered it! Even down to the tone of her voice.
"there will be nothing unsuitable for children" hearing that and knowing that watership down is a U that line just makes me laugh
Same with Willy Wonka
Watership Down should be a 12.
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory should be a PG, just like the remake.
jack oliver Same with Doctor Who - Attack of the Cybermen (1985) which was given a U certificate despite it containing a horrific scene of a man being tortured to death by having his hands crushed, along with blood spewing from his palms and wrists
Ailsa's stuff An animated film which had gory and gruesome images of rabbit getting mauled, slashed and attacked. There’s also a disturbing scene of rabbits getting gassed and suffocated in their warren
Or Never Ending Story with the horse drowning and the wolf being stabbed
Can we all just appreciate the nostalgia please
If it's not scary, then okay.
Ok they
Done
This is the first time that I saw the 12, 15 & 18 ones
Im in the same league as you mate
+Battlefield fucking sucks The closest thing the BBFC has to a PG-13 would probably be their "12A" rating. Also I think the word you are looking for is "equivalent", not "downgrade".
Same. Probably means you were raised well by decent parents
Edimator Same here. I only ever had one VHS with one of these on it.
Same. I only saw the U and PG clips growing up
I remember these things, I actually used to immatate the voices.
RaphSieg007 Good.
@@raphsieg007 Wow, I Didn't Expect That
Haha same! I still know the PG one weird for word 😂😂
Yes haha! Glad I wasn't alone there
I still know the pg by heart 🤣
I remember the U and PG warnings fondly. Would’ve been too intimidated to step on an 18 title due to the ‘red’, ‘adults-only’ component. 15 titles weren’t allowed either growing up except few-and-far-between, like MATRIX and SWORDFISH, was about as far as I would go in the early years of my life. 12 was here-or-there.
Same right here. I was always scared to go for other 15 or 18 rated titles other then matrix or GTA. But when I finally did step out i became less intimidated by the logos and just saw them as reference for what kind of content it may have.
@@Michael-cz6ob I saw "The Blues Brothers", a 15-rated film, when I was about 9 (mainly because my dad likes the music)... the first 18-rated film I saw pre-18 was "Scarface"... I was using a certain 4-letter word for days after that. :)
I remember feeling like such a rebel watching an 18 when I was 7. The movie was Scream. It fucked me right up though....
3:10 A stamp at the end of the 15 certificate
I remember the U one being on my Thomas and the magic railroad VHS and the PG one being on my Cats and Dogs VHS😂 nostalgic
Me too.
I remembered that
Oh my god! Those are the exact films I’ve had with those messages too.
@@MidcoreGamer Same
For me it was my PG rated Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets VHS! 😄
1:41 After all these years I finally get to see the rest.
I agree, I'm also 12 years old! I'm not a girl, I'm a boy!

Zak Ras Exactly what I thought
Yeah man I never got to see anything higher than pg
Me too
I was aloud when I was 9 and up
Ad: It's illegal to show a 12 to anyone under the age of 12
12a movies: *allow me to introduce myself*
12a: *You can call me an entraprauneur of sorts*
12a: hold my rating
12a is basically PG on steroids
That only applies to cinemas though
@@hakc97again 12A is the rating for cinema release and the DVD release is just a 12 but it is still a 12A
I used to feel really naughty when I nicked 12 and 15 rated videos from Dad's office... Happy days :D
3:22 The Fanatic (18) 1 hour 25 minutes and 12 seconds
“Thanks for listening” pure nostalgia with a big tick at the end 😊
This randomly popped into my head today and looked for it. Damn this takes me right back to sitting on my gran's carpet watching VHS after VHS.
*Watership Down has entered the chat*
1:20 I swear they timed that clip with the voiceover on purpose. It never gets old :P
@@holdenmenard1312 Yeah. It cracks me up every time.
@Weekblues Yes
It might have some sexy scenes
I don’t get it
@@carbootstudios2459neither do I to be honest
Wow, these bring back memories!!
3:22 Shit, This film “The Bay Of Silence” has been classified as 18 which means it’s for adults only
Remember sitting through these in the mid 2000's cos my family where cheap arse and didn't buy a dvd player
Dude, I feel so old watching these again.
"It is an offense to supply a film classified 15 to anyone below that age." Really? Didn't stop my cousin watching his first at age seven (a bootleg copy of 'Terminator 2' to be exact).
I think they meant as in it’s an offence for a shop to sell the age restricted film to someone underage, rather than someone viewing the film underage
I managed to buy Dirty Dancing (15) when I was 9 in my local Woolworths. Told the woman behind the counter it was a present for my Mum!
I think they just asked their parents to get it for them (it’s pretty much the reason why most kids got GTA games) it either that or you just mentioned it was a bootleg so I bet the seller didn’t really care
Having owned the James Bond VHS collection, I knew the PG one off by heart.
Got the Adam & Joe VHS that parodies this segment by offering a dual certificate that indicates the material contains many parts that might make you feel you could have done better yourself, and not trying to tax you intellectually.
Thank you for listening and enjoy the show.
The voice over for 12, 15 and 18 is very intense.
Ofc it changes to signify more older ages meaning more grittier stuff
@@Ichigoat19 here in the US we have PG-13 is 12, R is 15, and NC-17 is 18 or for TV shows 14 is 12 or 15 and MA is 15 or 18.
@@cradica so TV PG Is PG in uk?
@@Ichigoat19 Yes (along with TV Y7)

i love how films for 12-year-olds were (are?) treated like porn.
The US release of Interspecies Reviewers says "warning: Do not watch if you are under 18" yet in Germany it's rated 16 (with some 18 episodes).
My childhood viewing... Terminator, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Rambo, Halloween, Scream and so on... Good times 😄
Ahh yes, the usual kids films. 👍
@@itsalwaysoniontime🤣
Ooh I honestly didn't know it was Floella Benjamin.. So obvious really distinctive voice... My brother used to fast forward through them, and when she said thanks for listening.. He used to laugh and say he wasn't listening
I wish it was on DVDs
We don't need to scare the next generation like we were.
fan of PewDiePie no joke it is 😂
@@RealShadowfiend180x D'ah, you people just get scared easily. XD
retrogamelover2012 you dick haha and nah man lol
@Shaye Pinder And Blu-Rays
There's a women speaking for the nice ones.
An a man for the naughty ones.
=D
I can see why they'd think that floella wouldn't be a good voice for adult films 😂
+Mc Lovin Well, they needed a more serious voice on the age restricted films, that's why. But the strangest thing is that on the 12 rated films, if you went to a cinema, it would be a 12A, meaning that under 12's can watch it, provided that they're accompanied by an adult.
In Ireland we have 12A and 15A in cinema. For some reason we also have 16 in cinemas only
I mostly just have the nice U and PG films; only a small number of my films are adult ones, under the 12 rating mostly, a few of them are 15s, but none of my films are 18s.
@@sambee8982 me too
I remember when I was younger, I would typically watch Warner bros movies with a u or pg rating, and I was so used to those words over and over again. I did watch some more adult stuff, but it was never from Warner bros. So, when I found ghost ship, I thought I'd found the holy grail, I finally had something that contained new words, New images, even a new voice. Apart from that, I never felt the need to watch the movie again because i just wasn't interested in it as much as other movies.
I remember seeing the VSC U warning when I was very little. :)
the "sexy scenes" in the PG got me dead
"Thanks for listening"
When my brother and I used to fast forward this on videos, then in unison cheekily exclaim "We didn't even listen!".
I remember when these appeared on videos in the early 2000s
Same
now a days 18 films dont come by. 12 15 r just as good. Udont need very rough.
This video of all warner bros films on vcr,brings back a lot of memories the 18 certifcate video used to scare me as a kid.
I remember these. I know Floella Benjamin does the VoiceOver for the U and PG clips but I don't know who did the male VoiceOver for the 12 - 18 warnings.
Floella Benjamin used to be on Play School during the 80s and I was surprised to hear her voice at the U and PG clips. :D
It was English DJ Simon Bates who did the 12-18 announcements :)
Benjamin Kelly Thanks Benjamin! :D
No problem :)
I think the reason they used a female voice for the U and PG clips is that they thought a female voice would sound more child friendly; they possibly used a male voice for the 12, 15 and 18 clips to make the warnings for these three certificate warnings scarier.
Good boy.
I remember how bliss it was sneaking into 18 films. Sadly, I only did it twice and it doesn't feel so fun anymore now that I'm old enough.
Wow a blast from the past I remember there u and pg warnings but I have never seen the 1215 and 18 warnings thanks for uploading
Was this when you were a kid?
Well I was a kid and only saw the U and PG warning in my time never saw 12 or higher
I remember Simon Bates doing these and then these coming later. Ah, the days of VHS! I also remember seeing Die Hard when I was 10 (it was an 18 at the time) and loving it, then seeing a 15 when I was 12 and having the living crap scared out of me!

@@cradica So in Germany it's appropriate for 16/17 year olds?
@@slainedale8032 yeah, well the 3rd episode was still rated 18. Even in the US it was 17+ until that very episode but that's just because
1. It was censored

12: Avengers: Infinity War, The Angry Birds Movie, Watership Down

@@puccafanclub6607 I know, these are my personal ratings.
@@bychrischannel Why the HELL would Angry Birds be rated 12?
@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 It's rated PG in the US and even that feels like pushing it
Even then angry birds was edited in the uk for a U because of the word “plucking” which is wordplay on the F word and if it was uncut it would get a PG
The only 12 rated VHS I remember watching was Spiderman, still cannot remember watching the 12 rating warning. Of course DVDs were long since standard when I started watching 15 and 18 rated films so never saw them before XD

Gosh those Video Standard Council Logo Warnings brought me back loads of memories during the 90s but I only remember the *U* and the *PG* ones only on VHS. :P 18 Warning is so creepy that it doesn't make me want to watch the movie! :O
Memories of watching Harry Potter on VHS (we kept ours for quite a long time). I love the way she says 'there may be some sexy scenes' it sounds like she's trying not to laugh
I'v had "thanks for listening" and the tick sound effect that follows in my head for.... too many years.
tiny toons adventures!!
the u and pg gives me good memorys of being a kid I'm 18 now the remind me of the age of 2 to 6 then I got dvds all my vhs are in the attic they was great times
I always feel this nostalgia when watching Harry Potter and the PG comes on.
Last summer, I watched my first 12, "Pitch Perfect" on DVD. I was 11. and I'm 12 soon! 😂
Wow
I watched a PG-13 movie at 10 but with a parent
It was rated 0 in Germany (No joke)
For some reason on blu ray it’s rated 15
“Nothing unsuitable for children” on the U one hits kinda different after watching Steve’s review on Help! I’m a Fish.
I remember seeing these when I was about 5 or 6.

Jeez, I remember watching these when I put a vhs tape into the player when I was a kid😮 until now I only ever saw the U and PG ratings. Even that check mark unlocked a load of memories 🫣
My childhood right there. VHS may not have had the best quality compared to DVDs but you used to get the best stuff back in those days. I never forgot these ads.
Man this brings back memories.
Fast forwarding through it and trying to stop right at the 'thanks for listening' part, so you could be like, 'Ha, I didn't!'
0:25 Yeah, Tiny Toon Adventures has an episode about getting drunk? Yup, totally kid-friendly
That’s the 1992 Tiny Toons animated feature movie ‘How I Spent My Summer Vacation’. I didn’t know, until I did, that Tiny Toons had feature movies, when us who watched it, on CITV, merely remember it as a TV series.
I remember how movies were quite strong for a PG back then. As the 12 rating didn’t exist until 1989 for cinemas, and 1994 for VHS, films were often cut to fit a the PG rating for home video, and despite the cuts, they were still pretty strong, especially Arachnophobia, the Jurassic Parks, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Addams Family (original & Values), and others that were released after 1994, like Batman Forever and Mission: Impossible still had a PG rating. If films were made like this today they’d definitely get a 12 rating.
This Certificate is Brought to you by The Warner Bros AND THE WARNER SISTER DOT!!!
These used to really creep me out as a kid.

@@leafman24 I just found this interesting Interspecies Reviewers was originally rated TV-MA(which would be like hard 15 or 18 in the UK) for the first 3 episodes, but only the censored version, similarly in Australia it was MA-15+ censored but re-rated to [banned] on DVD.

@@leafman24 Agreed The manga was tamer it's rated M (Equivalent to NC-17 or strong TV-MA in the US or 18 in the UK).
I also remember some called Valkyrie Drive Mermaid "Soul Eater:Rated R" but in Germany they are both rated R(16). Okay well the first half of Soul Eater is rated 16 and the second is 12 (since they don't have a 14 like we do in the US). Similarly it's rated 15 with some 12 episodes in the UK, but even in the US(as well as other English speaking countries) the manga is rated OT-16+) Can you call something an R rated version of something else if the book is already R rated?
Anyone remember I think it was a trailer that played before quite a few films where a bunch of moths or flies attack a women or something
I remember seeing the U rating on The Secret Of Nimh VHS and the PG rating on Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island.
R.I.P
Old version of the British age ratings.
2002 - October 2019
They gave them a horrible new simplified look
I had these on my looney tunes and Tom and jerry video tapes. There were 2 tapes in one case. I still have then but not a video player :(
I saw the "U" one sooooo many times on my Tom & Jerry VHS tapes. And I speak a completely different language from English, so I thought that voice was just spouting a bunch of gibberish way back in the day. Also, I often imitated the characters in the little zooming out countdown.
The nostalgia
Oh my Talos...This Brings Back so many Memories for me...I only ever saw The U,PG and I only saw the 12 one once
Only have U and PG:
U-Space Jam,Tiny Toons
PG-Pokémon: The First Movie,Powerpuff Girls : The Movie
Wow
From U to 18, WHAT MOVIES ARE THESE CLIPS FROM?
i remeber this from my childhood i watched my first 18 rated film when i was 7 and that was die hard 1 and thats how the die hard films became my number 1 favorite f
This brings back memories
I think these VSC warnings are very important
Omg i remember these, i remember the U one on Stuart Little (i think?) and one on Cats and Dogs
0:19 What about Watership Down and Star Wars (I IV V VI)?
Those should be 12, PG, PG, PG, & PG respectively.
Nostalgia, although I never saw any ratings higher than pg be for dvds took over.
Bbfc: * gives water ship down a u rating *
Me now: u sure that a good choice? 8/
It's rated PG in the US!
Even worse is that they gave plague dogs a PG
It makes me feel old that I remember this....
I grew up in the 2000s but these are still interesting.
Like many others here I only saw the U and PG ones too. Wouldn't have thought Ace Ventura to be a good example of a 12, felt more like a PG. XD
i used too watch 18s when i was 14. video shop sold me still my mam went mad.

Even as a young boy, I remember thinking:
"Oh boy-this is serious. You know it's serious when they get a man's voice to take over for this."

Naughty naughty. :3
TotallyLisaCartoons No it is not really.
Teehee! :)
I was seeing 12 rated movies when I was 3
just love gaming I do not think that was a good idea.

Am I the only one who's creeped out by these?
You're not alone.
Thanks.
Henry Stanley I’m not scared
Good for you
It definitely is 'Gone with the Wind'; you can see the late Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara and the late Fred Crane as one of the Tarleton twins. This is from the beginning of the movie, when the Tarleton twins talk to her about the war, and all she says is she's not interested.
Couldnt remeber shit when it came to my GCSEs but fuck if i dont know every line to this 😂😂
Haven't seen this in a long time.
I remember these!
So Batman Returns basically got an R in the UK? Interesting.
In 2019, Batman Returns got re-rated to a 12 rating in the UK (which is equivalent to a PG-13 rating).
The video rating for 15 is still retained. The main reason as far back as when it first came out on video was when Catwoman puts the aerosol cans in the microwave. The BBFC was particularly strict with imitable techniques during the Ferman era, but the 15 was upheld for video even after Ferman left.
There was a 12 version with the scene cut later on, but was reinstated with the Blu-ray with the rating raised to 15.
Also, when Batman Returns was first released on video, there was no 12 rating for video and cuts were not viable for PG, so a 15 was the only way to release it on video. It wasn't until around 1994 when the 12 was introduced for video. Look at how Robin Hood was cut up for a PG on video for instance. It wasn't just the "F" word that was cut either.
If these were on films and things nowadays, it would be DVD warnings.
I know it appears on the late 90s UK VHS release of Goldeneye. I saw it on 'Tomorrow Never Dies'; it would additionally appear on 'The World is Not Enough' (but I don't know about 'Die Another Day', as it was released in 2002).
