David Mitchell made a good point before, about how these warnings absolutely traumatise us kids with anxiety whilst those that need the warnings don't pay attention 😂 I still remember so many of the electricity PSAs, proper gave me the fear 😂
PSA: do NOT point out Hunter's ability to control fire in his presence, unless you are wearing full fire protection equipment or are fully confident you can out-run his abilities.
@@Steadfast_Apparitionand it’s lame and been used to death. Hunter said he doesn’t like it himself yet here u are thinking ur funny for some reasons 🤦🏿♂️
13:00 I grew up on a dairy farm and nearly drowned in their "shit lagoon", as my grandpa called it. I didn't know it was there, it was about 3 am in NW US winter, I was just walking towards the barn through the dead weeds and SLOOMPF- suddenly I was 2 feet shorter and very confused. If it wasn't for the fact that I was wearing irrigation boots (easy to take off) and it being almost entirely frozen, I'd probably had just gotten sucked down into it like that kid. Thanks for the warning, DAD!!!!!!
Apaches truly fucked me up the first time I went down a rabbit hole of watching old PSAs. Sharon’s screams rlly fucking get me. To make it worse, it depends on what poison Sharon drank (it’s implied to be pesticide, I think?) and how much, she was in *excruciating* pain. To spare most of the gory details: her stomach/intestines would be burned, her pancreas would develop pancreatitis, which would then cause her to struggle to breathe due to her lungs shutting down. Fucking terrifying way to go.
Yeah, I was a horticulturalist and considered the era it was shot in paraquat would be the mostly herbicide for people to accidentally ingest as it was often stored in old soda bottles between uses rather then leftover solution being dumbed. No smell and looks just like water but very toxic, has no antidote or effective treatment and causes a very nasty death. It banned in Europe and in the states it now has to have maloderants and dye added and there are very strict laws about it’s safe storage and application.
Watched it on RUclips and the most haunting image that sticks with me are the end credits where it shows a list of children who died in farm accidents. The youngest was 2 yrs old! Just a toddler.
@hannahmabbott7370 we recently had a 8yo shot on farm in the news. Bloomin insane what happens on farms/farmland but they always seem so "quaint and peaceful" on many tv shows. Can see why the PSAs were/are so needed.
Survior of a self-induced poisoning here with only the hottest of takes: it's not fun. I knew about this film for years before I ODed, and that poison scene still gets to me. I believe the pesticide/herbacide is hinted to be paraquat or diquat. In the US, it's heavily regulated and really only in use on industrial farms. Chubby Emu has a couple videos on it if you want to learn the pathology of it (it's a nasty chemical). If you want to go even deeper down the rabbit hole, I would start at the Casual Criminalist's video on the Japanese Vending Machine Killer, or under it's proper name as we now believe it was a series of copycats: the paraquat murders. As a final entry, if you don't mind the dark subject matter, look into su!cude by paraquat. My poisoning landed me in the ICU for a couple of days, but I will always be grateful I didn't use anything that strong. Good luck with your splunking
Children are dumb, that makes sense, but wtf were the ADULTS thinking making kids race on a working railway!!!! I really hope it's not based on real events because WTFFFF 😂
My mom also traumatized me with the James Bulger story but I was 5 and instead of "don't play by train tracks" the lesson was "stay away from older kids because they might kill you"
I’m glad someone else mentioned James Bulger, the reference was way too specific to not be referencing that. It’s one of those incidents that just gets more and more horrific the more you look into it.
@@kingstannisbaratheon7974 the saddest part is that a couple of people saw the 2 boys and james, one even noticing how he was crying and was a bit bloody (I think bloody) but no one really did anything since it also looked like 2 older kids bringing a hurt little kid home. It's just the saddest damn thing, 2 children killing a toddler in such a way..
Man, it was a long time ago, but I have the same trauma. I think they mentioned watching 'Child's Play' and I was scared looking at the box in the rental store.
That was actually never a surprise to me. A common feature of middle-class American towns in the 70s seemed to be small groups of 15-16 years olds you'd run into when you were randomly walking around town at 10-12 years old who would curse you out and chase you for absolutely no reason. Also, if you were up in a tree, they'd curse you out and throw rocks at you. I never understood the point of that.
Regarding the slurry pits, farms do have them in the US and they’re constantly agitated and aerated so you actually can’t swim in them if you fall in. Super dangerous
When I was at school in the early 2000s (in England), we would do school trips to this place that was basically an environmental hazards play park. You went in and were given a high-vis jacket, a hard hat and a clipboard and you were given the role of a risk assessor. You would walk around these different sets that were FULL of risks and hazards; like recreations of real-life settings. For example, there was a two-story house full of fire hazards and you had to go around the house with your team and identify as many as you could within a set time. There was a farm with a recreation of a grain silo and you could 'feed' the silo different objects to see how difficult it would be to escape it. There was a construction site with a FULL SIZE STEAMROLLER and you could put different things down a chute and watch the steamroller flatten them. It was a wild and anxiety-inducing experience, but I loved it every time we went. If anyone can remember the name of the company/place, I'd be grateful!
wait this seriously reminds me of something I did in canada in the early 2000s during elementary school. I have no idea what it was exactly but the environment you described sounds super familiar.
We had one in Bristol like this with a train track and a room with a fake fire in, had to simulate calling ambulances and gas leaks. The one I went to I believe was called the life skills centre. But I'm not entirely sure

@@lolzmanxd3368and then chooses to promote dogshit that doesn’t actually do anything 😂 you can’t have it both ways it’s scummy no matter what but who really cares I just skip past them
13:27 this is pretty much exactly what happens! the slurry is a non-buoyant fluid that you can't swim or tread in (or float on). Sanitation workers die this way every so often. A worker was checking the roof on holding tanks where i live and the roof of the tank collapsed and he fell in and drowned almost immediately in human waste slurry. I'm not afraid of swimming or drowning, but i'm terrified of drowning in a fluid that you can't swim in. no matter how strong you are or how hard you swim, you WILL drown.
Standard safety training usually includes tales of people climbing up on older tanks and falling through the roof. No joke when the fluid is less dense than water - you're not likely to even be able to "tread water", but even if you were, if it's something that volatilizes easily, your first deep breath results in asphyxiation.
Yeah same I saw a video talking about the add and they played the screams sorta out of context from that one and yeah Jesus. I thought context would help but nope it kinda made it worse. It just makes me sick to my stomach to hear the screams of the girl
Head cannon: The twist of the Apache movie is Danny is a grim reaper in training slowly taking out each child before himself so he could become a full fledge reaper. The last kid survived because you always need one to tell the story.
16:43 I grew up on a farm. This could definitely kill a kid. You can't tell because it's obvious fake, but those big metal gates can weigh hundreds of pounds.
Can confirm, the manure pits were actually pretty dangerous. Every summer my family and I would go on vacation which included a visit to my aunt and uncle's farm. They ALWAYS hammered it into my brother and and I's head to not play near the pit. It definitely instilled a reasonable fear of it.
It reminded me the 2016 horror movie Abattoir. There was a scene that really haunted me, where the parents were chilling in the living room at night, then they heard their kid screaming as she was getting murdered by a maniac in her room.
@@yurilouback6331 I’ve never watched it but it’s would be even more more chilling when you realize parents start to recognize even things like their child’s footsteps. they know which child is up on saturday morning just by hearing your mannerisms. So when she was screaming it was probably very different at least to them, from any of the screaming or crying they heard from her over the course of her life before that point.
Ooo actually I find that adult screams do this to me way more than kid screams(you can tell when they’re real) but because kids just scream for literally no reason a kid screaming in general doesn’t usually grab me I will think “oooo is that real” and more often than not it’s just a kid making noise but adults don’t generally scream that often so when I hear an adult let out a blood curdling scream it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
I think the reason the kids were playing Apaches is probably a reference to the nursery rhyme "10 Little Indians." Iirc, in the rhyme, each little indian is either killed off or lost until only one is left.
Yeah the old nursery rhymes were the templates for these PSAs... some hard core stuff in those nursery rhymes and kids' stories. Children getting cooked alive, dying of plague, and so on. Yikes!
The “she knew her killer”/seatbelt one fucking traumatized me, I saw it when I was a kid and I freak out every time someone doesn’t wear a seatbelt in the backseat now
I took a trip to New Zealand in 1999 and the road safety PSA's were BRUTAL. Especially one about speeding, one of the lines was "if he had only been going 100 kph, the last sound his daughter would hear wouldn't be the sound of her ribs breaking." And they were super violent too. Edit: It's called Land Transport Safety Authority - Stop. You can find it on youtube.
Speaking of NZ, they also had an unintentionally hilarious/deeply horrifying one called "Fruity Bars" where the mom is getting her children a delicious frozen confectionery and is so focused on the fruity bars that she inadvertently plunges through a glass-topped table.
The one about drinking while looking after kids where they slam the child into the wooden wardrobe by accident! NZ has some seriously unforgettable PSAs!!
Yeah we still have some really disturbing driving ads here. Never stopped making them. Drink driving or just common accidents, they’re all pretty cooked. Went from funny to depressing.
Canadians had some of the most traumatizing PSA’s during my childhood. I remember one by W.S.I.B. where it was about distracted chef’s cooking in a restaurant and this one girl not being careful where she stepped while holding a pot of hot liquid. She slipped, and spilled everything in that pot on her face causing 3rd degree burns. Her screams haunted me for a while after that ad aired on TV.
Dude I remember that exact one and there was a variant with a boiling stew pot of water and the guy slipped trying to lift it on his own, spilled it, and you could literally see him writing in agony on the floor with his skin looking like melted candle wax. For some reason I like going on PSA bingewatching marathons and some of them are DARK.
Im watching this again its so good bro, but Sharen’s death was and still is SO SPINE CHILLING. Just the way she yells for her parents help was just so SO sad
i dont know whats more terrifying, these british PSA videos or the fact that my dad has them ALL on DVD and insisted on making me watch every single one at a very young age. im traumatised but at least i know not to play on the railway lines!
Holy shit your dad having them on dvd genuinely made me laugh 😂 my dad has a youtube channel of janky homemade videos he's found of fires being put out and informative vids on the catholic school he got kicked out of 😂
This creepy videos literally saved a lot of children from tragic deaths and i respect to the creator's of this masterpiece (my English grammar is awful i know it guys)
My mum made me watch a video over and over about a kid who visits their Grandad all the time and one day he isn't there anymore (because he's dead). She made me watch it SO MUCH, that I was having panic attacks about my own Grandad dying! I had a lot of therapy for that... I'm now 30 and the old man is STILL HERE so that dvd was useless for me lol
Had a similar experience cuz my dad grew up by railways in mexico. all kinds of vids that he just recorded on vcr of dudes just exploding pretty much for psas when he grew up lmao
yeah, i saw the guns and geared up for "ah, yep, okay, someone's dad is a serviceman and they brought his much cooler gun to play with", then in comes the metal gate from the top rope and i guess that's that. definitely an effective bait-and-switch nowadays.
That has literally been my own personal biggest fear since I was a kid and found out about septic tanks could drown you if you're not careful enough, while my dad was having me help clean ours xD
Kinda disappointed he didn’t show that commercial/PSA about driving high where the car demolishes a bunch of kids playing in a backyard Edit: here’s the video ruclips.net/video/syo4decSDkM/видео.htmlsi=Sh_E_PWfTV40uXQo
Growing up in the uk I remember a bunch of these, they definitely worked on me and totally didn’t do any emotional or mental damage 😅 Also some context on the James bulger murder, those two kids got away Scott free with new identities because they were children, the whole UK hates them with a passion
One of the kids kept reoffending and ending up in jail, whilst the other never reoffended. The footage of the adults chasing the police van with the kids in is insane though. Truly so much (justified) anger and disgust.
The UK fire alarm safety ones used to get me... Also the one where the little girl goes across the road and all her bones click back into place is generally horrific
I remember they'd show us these in school, the think! video we saw a shitload of times. There was another one where a kid was with his dog and wandered into an old power station , the dogs collar hits a fusebox or something and he gets electrocuted, in that one he didn't die but got all burned up and they showed his charred face.
I used to be obsessed as a kid and still am at watching old PSA’s from around the world and to be honest the uk really had some of the worst , some of the stuff in psa’s were genuinely horrific and i can honestly say that some are better left as old media but a lot of the messages genuinely stuck with me and i honeslty believe that we should have some of them reinstated , maybe not on the same level of brutality but definitely keep the message up there
that psa scared the shit out of me, and somehow i was the crazy one for being so mad at my sisters boyfriend for refusing to wear a seatbelt while he was sitting behind my mom
There was another drivers one with a man going about his normal day but there's the dead body of a child everywhere e.g under his desk, at the bus stop. I only remember seeing it once or twice so they must have stopped showing it pretty quickly.
The boy who got rocks thrown at him and got killed by two other young kids and left on the tracks to be cut in half by the train is named James Bulger. It’s a horrifying story and theres tons of info about it online. They poured paint in his eyes and did all kinds of torture after abducting the kid from the mall while he was shopping with his mom. Kids are evil af.
If you liked these might I recommend the Drink Driving videos from Northern Ireland? You've already seen the one where the car annihilates the kids sitting on the grass but there are a bunch more! One of the best ones literally has the line "Yeah, the one without the seatbelt did the damage.".
When I was 6-7, in Primary School in the UK, we were having a new school building being built next door for us as our current one at the time was very old. So they had us watch a PSA video in a school assemble. In the video, it showed two kids, a girl and a boy playing around near a building site with a ball. The boy accidentally kicks or throws the balls over the metal fence separating them from the build site. They climb in to grab the ball, but the boy decides to pull himself up onto a first floor (2nd floor for the US people) concrete platform, then falling into a vat of building acid and dying. They did a close up of his hand sizzling as it disappeared like Golem in the volcano of Mount Doom in LotR. I also remember during fireworks night, Guy Fawkes night, our primary school just showed us a bunch of limbs, hands and faces being torn and blown up by fireworks and then said "Don't buy fireworks underage,"
My mom told me about the James Bulger case, as well. I was 6 in 1993, so I recall it being so heinous that it was on the national news. My mom used it as a lesson to never go with strangers at a mall, even if they’re children. That shite stuck with me because it was two 10yo boys that did it to him. Shattered this idea in my head that only adults could be so evil.
@@ffejgibI watched something about them not long ago saying how one has basically integrated back without any further issues after his release but the other one is constantly back and forth in prison for having indecent images of kids
@ffejgib They were children? Come on you people can't be this daft. Being angry at horrible things is all good and well, but the moment you seek vengeance on literal children, you lose any moral high ground you claim to have. No, children, especially literal 10 yr olds, we are not talking about teenagers here, cannot be held accountable for their actions, just like someone who is a somnambulist or a person with severe brain injuries/mental disorders cannot be held accountable. Your brain as a 10 yr old is physically impaired when compared to an adult. I do not get why people are mad they are free? People should be mad if they did not get the help they needed.
The drunk driving ads over here were absolutely brutal, like one with the car flipping over into a childrens party and another where a car crashes into a a couple of kids killing the boyfriend and crushing the legs of the girl, had a bit of PTSD from that one for a while XD
I had to watch that PSA during my driving school days 💀 we also had to watch one where the parents and a small kid were driving, they all crashed into a bloody mess and the PSA ends on a shot of the dead parents I think? And the child crying for them offscreen. That one has haunted me for 8 years 😭
@@vglycorpse I had to watch a couple in driving school back in like '06 or '07ish and I may be combining 2 together but I remember a horrible car accident of teens that the entire thing was in slow motion with everyone in the car dying in some horrible way. The other part I remember (or other video) was the car upside down and the guy in the passenger seat coming to being the only one alive in the car but the car was on fire. Those scared me so much I failed my first driving test for sitting at stop signs too long lol.
I help process accident forms at an insurance company and some of the farm accidents I've read that have happened to children is genuinely HORRIFYING. A lot of getting caught in machinery and stuff like that. Super upsetting stuff.
You should do one for OSHA videos. Some are straight up gore, and great comedy, staplerfahrer klaus is a classic one, but there are so many out there that are straight up horror flicks on what can go wrong with heavy machinery and human bodies,
omg staplerfahrer klaus is so fucking hilarious. it's super rare for me to find anyone who knows about that video lol. fyi jontron did a video on osha psa's a few years ago.
@@bluetextonwhitebg I watched this a while back online cause a coworker told me about it. I honestly assumed it was a joke video not used as a real safety video. Learning this has made my day xD
By far the most intense PSA I've seen is the Canadian one about kitchen safety where a chef slips on the floor and dumps a giant pot of hot oil on herself. Her screaming was worthy of an Oscar.
I work in a kitchen and that psa plays in my head pretty much every day when I have to pick hot stuff up. Not even just oil, I ain't taking myself in a heat related way
As a Brit, I saw a few of these actually on TV. Not the old ones, but I saw the ones made from 1990 onwards. They worked because I remembered every single one of them even though I hadn't seen them in a lot of years.
I was in school in the 80s in the UK....theyd literally wheel the giant CRT tv into the classroom and play all these videos to us in one go!!! a room full of 8 year old children! usually with a local police officer or fireman whod come in and ask us "what did you learn from that".... hahah
As a British girl who grew up in 90s Britain, we were shown these in school multiple times and they scared the shit out of me. My dad has so many horror stories of him and his friends being injured as kids doing this stuff
20:35 so when I was the age around eight years old, I saw this video and I came across it randomly on RUclips. It terrified me for a long time. I couldn’t explain what I saw, and I thought it was real, and I thought these adults were forcing these kids do these terrible things and killing these kids why are they doing this, scarred me as a kid. Now I know finally having an answer what this actually was really makes me feel better
25:15 This story is nutty. It was two British kids who killed this 3yo kid and when they were interrogated they said they did it for no reason. The video of them crying is maddening.
When I first heard of that story, I thought I was going to be sick. They lured the boy away from his mother as she was paying at a cash register, and dragged him off to a secluded area. Bystanders saw the boys pulling a crying toddler around and did nothing. I cannot imagine the pain the mother went through after finding out her son was abducted right under her nose and then tortured and killed. Breaks my heart.
I stumbled across some compilations of these a few months back and wound up binge watching them for hours. There's that many of them. Like any proper calamity, I couldn't look away.
My cousins all lived in a rural, farm town and we played in, on, and around every sort of farming equipment imaginable. And there's something about old farm towns where every property has an old wooden shed from the 1920's filled with outdated, rust covered tools hanging all over. It really looked like something from a Friday the 13th movie. And we would just run and chase each other through these old rickety shacks with no regard for the saws or sickles or exposed nails that would have maimed us if we had stumbled and fell. Looking back I'm amazed that all 27 of us made it to adulthood with all our limbs, fingers, and eyeballs. There were no exposed slurry pits though, thank god.
According to my dad and grandma, it really was a huge problem that parents didn't care too much if the kids died. At least fathers didn't. All of my 16 uncles have multiple stories of when their dad almost killed them on farm equipment and even more of how their older siblings almost killed them and the only care given was if they damaged the equipment or hurt an animal in the process. And for many of the younger ones, grandpa had apparently given up (because the farm was going under anyway, didn't need these kids anymore, I guess?) because when they had medical emergencies he didn't want to take them to the hospital due to price. My grandma reportedly threatened him with a skillet to get him to take my dad to the hospital (she could not drive herself) where he was diagnosed with a burst appendix and had to go for immediate emergency surgery. Grandpa really really seemed to believe that 'we got 17, what's it matter if one or two dies?' (Sadly he seemed to believe that about miscarriages too as some of the stories about how he treated grandma after miscarrying were horrific. Hers were all very late too so passing a nearly fully developed baby and your own husband being like 'welp, lets get to making a new one' is horrifying to imagine.) It was only after he died that things got safer for the kids and grandma as Grandma sold the farm and moved into town so they had better access to education, safer working conditions and doctors/hospital. You can say it was just my grandpa, but no other adults cared he was so reckless with his kids lives either. It was very 'if he wants to kill his kids, that's his problem and I don't wanna be nosy'.
Seriously. That kid absolutely crushed her performance, like I had to take a breather afterwards. I'm a paramedic who's had patients her age who were in that much pain and that scared, and her screaming was shockingly real.
@@SnagTheRabbit The liquid she drank had some kind of negative effect on her internal organs, I'm assuming. She must have ingested some of it despite spitting it out, but whatever it was had to have been enough to cause life threatening damage. It sounded like her insides were dissolving..
British PSA: billy was playing flyabout diskenhamshire, then he touched a zapfort electrowomper and his shins exploded. Canadian PSA: Mom to be: What a lovely babyshower, thank you for all these gif- That one Aunt: I got you a rape whistle. Everyone: ...
An outrageously incorrect statistical claim pops up. It claims Canada is more dangerous for women than the Congo where women have been systematically rapped in rape comps by warlord paramilitaries
When I was in primary school (around 8 years old) in the norff ov angland we went to a safety awareness day at the local fire station. They sat us down and made us watch all of these videos back to back. I still have nightmares about slurry pits 30 years later.
Dude the one where the chef is talking about her upcoming wedding but then slips and boiling water falls on her face.... Scared the shit out of me as a kid.
A song comes to mind: "One little, two little, three little Indians..." Does anybody else know that song? All the little Indians playing on the farm, and then there's none. Someone took that song and made a PSA about it. We got a few of these over here in South Africa, but they were not this brutal, and they were in Afrikaans. Hello Hunter from South Africa!
Wish you had added "Stranger Danger" They played that to us at school in the 80's on a nice big projector in the school hall. Still to this day makes me piss. Most of the kids had nightmares!
PSAs genuinely bring tears to my eyes. Since a kid in the early 2000's Above The Influence commercials used to have me shaking in fear at night when I couldn't turn the channel. I, to this day, feel like I am about to cry when I see PSAs from the 90s to the 00s; I have to cover the screen or close my eyes if I can't avoid them; they terrify me to the core.
There was a psa where a teens younger brother gets electrocuted and they show the fried body getting taken away, AND THEN the mom shows up and screams at the older brother like "it's all your fault! You were supposed to be watching him!" And they loudly sob together about the younger brother being dead. I'm surprised that one wasn't in this video.
I vividly remember those safety films from infant school in the 90s. They definitely left a lasting impression! I developed a fear of substations and deep water, especially gravel pits where, sadly, accidents were common. Back then, a lot of the power infrastructure was relatively new, so the dangers weren't as widely understood. Those public information films really drove home the message to stay safe and avoid those hazards. Lesson is don't touch the grass, stay in play games and be safe.
I still binge PSA/PIF compilations every once in a while. Makes me wish they were still made to this day, or at the very least, broadcasted on public television again. There's something nostalgic about watching these in the early hours of the morning, and marveling at the MASSIVE variety of quality (and not so quality) films.
PSA, infomercials and bloopers are definitely my cosy nostalgia spot. They remind me of both when I was a kid watching tv, AND when I first started watching YT 😂
If you think these are bleakly British, I'd love to see Hunter's reaction to the apocalyptic docudrama Threads (1984) and the 1970s public information films Protect and survive.
The modern PSAs are also WILD. There's one about texting and driving where a car that wasn't paying attention ends up crashing and rolling over into someone's backyard where a bunch of kids are having a picnic. It's incredibly brutal.
There was one that was a sequel to the “this is your brain on drugs”. It was like, this is your face, your slimy dealer, and your baby with him, and your family not answering your calls… only saw it once but will never forget that one.
I lived in the UK from 1997-99 (from Aus) and we definitely watched that first video of that kid getting lit up by his socks when I was 10. I had suppressed that memory until now, thanks Hunter

To make it worse, it depends on what poison Sharon drank (it’s implied to be pesticide, I think?) and how much, she was in *excruciating* pain. To spare most of the gory details: her stomach/intestines would be burned, her pancreas would develop pancreatitis, which would then cause her to struggle to breathe due to her lungs shutting down. Fucking terrifying way to go.
Yeah, I was a horticulturalist and considered the era it was shot in paraquat would be the mostly herbicide for people to accidentally ingest as it was often stored in old soda bottles between uses rather then leftover solution being dumbed. No smell and looks just like water but very toxic, has no antidote or effective treatment and causes a very nasty death. It banned in Europe and in the states it now has to have maloderants and dye added and there are very strict laws about it’s safe storage and application.
Watched it on RUclips and the most haunting image that sticks with me are the end credits where it shows a list of children who died in farm accidents. The youngest was 2 yrs old! Just a toddler.
Its paraquat and its all the more horrifying when you realize paraquat makes your lungs swell and fill with fluid so you literally suffocate to death
@hannahmabbott7370 we recently had a 8yo shot on farm in the news. Bloomin insane what happens on farms/farmland but they always seem so "quaint and peaceful" on many tv shows. Can see why the PSAs were/are so needed.
Survior of a self-induced poisoning here with only the hottest of takes: it's not fun. I knew about this film for years before I ODed, and that poison scene still gets to me.
I believe the pesticide/herbacide is hinted to be paraquat or diquat. In the US, it's heavily regulated and really only in use on industrial farms. Chubby Emu has a couple videos on it if you want to learn the pathology of it (it's a nasty chemical).
If you want to go even deeper down the rabbit hole, I would start at the Casual Criminalist's video on the Japanese Vending Machine Killer, or under it's proper name as we now believe it was a series of copycats: the paraquat murders.
As a final entry, if you don't mind the dark subject matter, look into su!cude by paraquat. My poisoning landed me in the ICU for a couple of days, but I will always be grateful I didn't use anything that strong.
Good luck with your splunking
16:20 Jesus Christ! 3 kids dead and the parents of the remaining children still let them play on the farm???
The fact none of the children give a shit about their friends dying really seals these as comedies to me.

My mom also traumatized me with the James Bulger story but I was 5 and instead of "don't play by train tracks" the lesson was "stay away from older kids because they might kill you"
I’m glad someone else mentioned James Bulger, the reference was way too specific to not be referencing that. It’s one of those incidents that just gets more and more horrific the more you look into it.
@@kingstannisbaratheon7974 the saddest part is that a couple of people saw the 2 boys and james, one even noticing how he was crying and was a bit bloody (I think bloody) but no one really did anything since it also looked like 2 older kids bringing a hurt little kid home. It's just the saddest damn thing, 2 children killing a toddler in such a way..
Man, it was a long time ago, but I have the same trauma. I think they mentioned watching 'Child's Play' and I was scared looking at the box in the rental store.
That was actually never a surprise to me. A common feature of middle-class American towns in the 70s seemed to be small groups of 15-16 years olds you'd run into when you were randomly walking around town at 10-12 years old who would curse you out and chase you for absolutely no reason. Also, if you were up in a tree, they'd curse you out and throw rocks at you. I never understood the point of that.
that seems to be the real message because what the fuck did train tracks have to do with anything that was jsut murder
Phantom Wendi checking hunter occasionally is one of the best things ever.

When I was at school in the early 2000s (in England), we would do school trips to this place that was basically an environmental hazards play park. You went in and were given a high-vis jacket, a hard hat and a clipboard and you were given the role of a risk assessor. You would walk around these different sets that were FULL of risks and hazards; like recreations of real-life settings. For example, there was a two-story house full of fire hazards and you had to go around the house with your team and identify as many as you could within a set time. There was a farm with a recreation of a grain silo and you could 'feed' the silo different objects to see how difficult it would be to escape it. There was a construction site with a FULL SIZE STEAMROLLER and you could put different things down a chute and watch the steamroller flatten them. It was a wild and anxiety-inducing experience, but I loved it every time we went.
If anyone can remember the name of the company/place, I'd be grateful!
It was similar to Safety Centre's 'Hazard Alley' but a hell of a lot more realistic and much less regulated.
wait this seriously reminds me of something I did in canada in the early 2000s during elementary school. I have no idea what it was exactly but the environment you described sounds super familiar.
The only place I can think of is Hazard Alley
We had one in Bristol like this with a train track and a room with a fake fire in, had to simulate calling ambulances and gas leaks. The one I went to I believe was called the life skills centre. But I'm not entirely sure

13:27 this is pretty much exactly what happens! the slurry is a non-buoyant fluid that you can't swim or tread in (or float on). Sanitation workers die this way every so often. A worker was checking the roof on holding tanks where i live and the roof of the tank collapsed and he fell in and drowned almost immediately in human waste slurry. I'm not afraid of swimming or drowning, but i'm terrified of drowning in a fluid that you can't swim in. no matter how strong you are or how hard you swim, you WILL drown.
The thought of it entering your mouth and lungs. Yikes
@@rexman971 The way it will enter your nasal cavities and burn at the back of your eyes is not great either

@bobaorc7839 lol Stephen King taking more notes
Standard safety training usually includes tales of people climbing up on older tanks and falling through the roof. No joke when the fluid is less dense than water - you're not likely to even be able to "tread water", but even if you were, if it's something that volatilizes easily, your first deep breath results in asphyxiation.

“We dont have traumatizing media”. We grew up on live leak wym
This type of shit was compulsory viewing though
16:43 I grew up on a farm. This could definitely kill a kid. You can't tell because it's obvious fake, but those big metal gates can weigh hundreds of pounds.
I was legit unconvinced before you said anything.
When I was a kid someone was killed by the gate at the front of our school.
19:34 they even say here 3 kid have died in one year from falling gates!
My mom’s friend had a gate fall on her and she is very lucky to be alive!
Can confirm, I used to work with a guy who had his legs crushed, and broken by a large metal bar gate falling on him.
Can confirm, the manure pits were actually pretty dangerous. Every summer my family and I would go on vacation which included a visit to my aunt and uncle's farm. They ALWAYS hammered it into my brother and and I's head to not play near the pit. It definitely instilled a reasonable fear of it.
I had a nightmare of drowning in one of those. Terrifying!
Huh. We didn't have any pits on our farms. We used the shit as fertiliser for the potato fields, it didn't have time to collect in any pits

@@SetiSupreme-d7o thats what they are used for on farms too, but big farms store it all somewhere to be spread later
Farms are literally a cornucopia of deadly hazards. I think farming is one of the statisticallly most dangerous occupations there is.
Sharen screaming was so fucking haunting, I don’t know what it is but children screaming or crying always just gives me the chills like no other
It reminded me the 2016 horror movie Abattoir. There was a scene that really haunted me, where the parents were chilling in the living room at night, then they heard their kid screaming as she was getting murdered by a maniac in her room.
@@yurilouback6331 I’ve never watched it but it’s would be even more more chilling when you realize parents start to recognize even things like their child’s footsteps. they know which child is up on saturday morning just by hearing your mannerisms.
So when she was screaming it was probably very different at least to them, from any of the screaming or crying they heard from her over the course of her life before that point.
That just makes you a normal human
Ooo actually I find that adult screams do this to me way more than kid screams(you can tell when they’re real) but because kids just scream for literally no reason a kid screaming in general doesn’t usually grab me I will think “oooo is that real” and more often than not it’s just a kid making noise but adults don’t generally scream that often so when I hear an adult let out a blood curdling scream it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
pretty sure it’s an evolutionary trait to keep children/babies safe and nearby
The child actors must have terrible anxiety problems now
I think the reason the kids were playing Apaches is probably a reference to the nursery rhyme "10 Little Indians." Iirc, in the rhyme, each little indian is either killed off or lost until only one is left.
Yeah the old nursery rhymes were the templates for these PSAs... some hard core stuff in those nursery rhymes and kids' stories. Children getting cooked alive, dying of plague, and so on. Yikes!
Is 10 little indians some sort of british version of 10 little monkeys jumping on a bed?
The “she knew her killer”/seatbelt one fucking traumatized me, I saw it when I was a kid and I freak out every time someone doesn’t wear a seatbelt in the backseat now
I took a trip to New Zealand in 1999 and the road safety PSA's were BRUTAL. Especially one about speeding, one of the lines was "if he had only been going 100 kph, the last sound his daughter would hear wouldn't be the sound of her ribs breaking." And they were super violent too.
Edit: It's called Land Transport Safety Authority - Stop. You can find it on youtube.
Speaking of NZ, they also had an unintentionally hilarious/deeply horrifying one called "Fruity Bars" where the mom is getting her children a delicious frozen confectionery and is so focused on the fruity bars that she inadvertently plunges through a glass-topped table.
The one about drinking while looking after kids where they slam the child into the wooden wardrobe by accident! NZ has some seriously unforgettable PSAs!!

Canadians had some of the most traumatizing PSA’s during my childhood. I remember one by W.S.I.B. where it was about distracted chef’s cooking in a restaurant and this one girl not being careful where she stepped while holding a pot of hot liquid. She slipped, and spilled everything in that pot on her face causing 3rd degree burns. Her screams haunted me for a while after that ad aired on TV.
Oh I've seen that one before. The acting is so good that it’s genuinely scary.
I remember that, It was hot oil. I get stressed near deep fryers or any hot oil.
Dude I remember that exact one and there was a variant with a boiling stew pot of water and the guy slipped trying to lift it on his own, spilled it, and you could literally see him writing in agony on the floor with his skin looking like melted candle wax. For some reason I like going on PSA bingewatching marathons and some of them are DARK.

I'm now 30 and the old man is STILL HERE so that dvd was useless for me lol

Fr that gate does not look heavy in the slightest

The are shooting guns at eachother but thats not the problem i guess
I legit thought they were gonna gun him down with real guns or something.
yeah, i saw the guns and geared up for "ah, yep, okay, someone's dad is a serviceman and they brought his much cooler gun to play with", then in comes the metal gate from the top rope and i guess that's that. definitely an effective bait-and-switch nowadays.

When I was 6-7, in Primary School in the UK, we were having a new school building being built next door for us as our current one at the time was very old. So they had us watch a PSA video in a school assemble.
In the video, it showed two kids, a girl and a boy playing around near a building site with a ball. The boy accidentally kicks or throws the balls over the metal fence separating them from the build site.
They climb in to grab the ball, but the boy decides to pull himself up onto a first floor (2nd floor for the US people) concrete platform, then falling into a vat of building acid and dying. They did a close up of his hand sizzling as it disappeared like Golem in the volcano of Mount Doom in LotR.

Being angry at horrible things is all good and well, but the moment you seek vengeance on literal children, you lose any moral high ground you claim to have. No, children, especially literal 10 yr olds, we are not talking about teenagers here, cannot be held accountable for their actions, just like someone who is a somnambulist or a person with severe brain injuries/mental disorders cannot be held accountable.

My cousins all lived in a rural, farm town and we played in, on, and around every sort of farming equipment imaginable. And there's something about old farm towns where every property has an old wooden shed from the 1920's filled with outdated, rust covered tools hanging all over. It really looked like something from a Friday the 13th movie. And we would just run and chase each other through these old rickety shacks with no regard for the saws or sickles or exposed nails that would have maimed us if we had stumbled and fell. Looking back I'm amazed that all 27 of us made it to adulthood with all our limbs, fingers, and eyeballs. There were no exposed slurry pits though, thank god.
25:10 Again, Nick;s out of pocket interjections are so fucking unhinged I was crying at Hunter's horrified expression
Worse it's true story - as you see from headline on the screen.
22:55 I didn't know they let the fabled heart attack Wendys girl on the train
LMAO
According to my dad and grandma, it really was a huge problem that parents didn't care too much if the kids died. At least fathers didn't. All of my 16 uncles have multiple stories of when their dad almost killed them on farm equipment and even more of how their older siblings almost killed them and the only care given was if they damaged the equipment or hurt an animal in the process. And for many of the younger ones, grandpa had apparently given up (because the farm was going under anyway, didn't need these kids anymore, I guess?) because when they had medical emergencies he didn't want to take them to the hospital due to price. My grandma reportedly threatened him with a skillet to get him to take my dad to the hospital (she could not drive herself) where he was diagnosed with a burst appendix and had to go for immediate emergency surgery. Grandpa really really seemed to believe that 'we got 17, what's it matter if one or two dies?' (Sadly he seemed to believe that about miscarriages too as some of the stories about how he treated grandma after miscarrying were horrific. Hers were all very late too so passing a nearly fully developed baby and your own husband being like 'welp, lets get to making a new one' is horrifying to imagine.)
It was only after he died that things got safer for the kids and grandma as Grandma sold the farm and moved into town so they had better access to education, safer working conditions and doctors/hospital.
You can say it was just my grandpa, but no other adults cared he was so reckless with his kids lives either. It was very 'if he wants to kill his kids, that's his problem and I don't wanna be nosy'.
15:25 Bro, when I tell you my heart dropped into my shoes...that felt way too real. 😨
It's so awful because your mind is like "da f is happening" and then you imagine...
Seriously. That kid absolutely crushed her performance, like I had to take a breather afterwards. I'm a paramedic who's had patients her age who were in that much pain and that scared, and her screaming was shockingly real.
I don't even know what was supposed to have happened?
@@SnagTheRabbit The liquid she drank had some kind of negative effect on her internal organs, I'm assuming. She must have ingested some of it despite spitting it out, but whatever it was had to have been enough to cause life threatening damage. It sounded like her insides were dissolving..
Yup. I scrolled down to find someone commenting on it because I felt like I needed to make sure it wasn't just me who found it that harrowing 😰
British PSA: billy was playing flyabout diskenhamshire, then he touched a zapfort electrowomper and his shins exploded.
Canadian PSA:
Mom to be: What a lovely babyshower, thank you for all these gif-
That one Aunt: I got you a rape whistle.
Everyone: ...
I'm sorry, but the first part took me out! 😂
An outrageously incorrect statistical claim pops up. It claims Canada is more dangerous for women than the Congo where women have been systematically rapped in rape comps by warlord paramilitaries
british PSAs did NOT fuck around, they were blunt to the point of traumatization
When I was in primary school (around 8 years old) in the norff ov angland we went to a safety awareness day at the local fire station. They sat us down and made us watch all of these videos back to back. I still have nightmares about slurry pits 30 years later.
holy freaking cow batman...
PSA stands for P*$$y S**t A$$
holy homemade bomb batman
(if you know you know)
holy priceless collection of etruscan snoods
Holy cow, indeed
“Okay, thats already getting old”
Canada has some really haunting PSA videos. They don't mess around with that stuff even from the early 2000s.
Dude the one where the chef is talking about her upcoming wedding but then slips and boiling water falls on her face.... Scared the shit out of me as a kid.
The house hippo was ionic
A song comes to mind: "One little, two little, three little Indians..." Does anybody else know that song? All the little Indians playing on the farm, and then there's none. Someone took that song and made a PSA about it. We got a few of these over here in South Africa, but they were not this brutal, and they were in Afrikaans. Hello Hunter from South Africa!
Wish you had added "Stranger Danger" They played that to us at school in the 80's on a nice big projector in the school hall. Still to this day makes me piss. Most of the kids had nightmares!
PSAs genuinely bring tears to my eyes. Since a kid in the early 2000's Above The Influence commercials used to have me shaking in fear at night when I couldn't turn the channel. I, to this day, feel like I am about to cry when I see PSAs from the 90s to the 00s; I have to cover the screen or close my eyes if I can't avoid them; they terrify me to the core.
You are not alone here. I feel the same. Hunters commentary really helps soften it for me . He makes serious things funny.
1:11 ok but why does the music slap, feel like most PSA’s just needs really good music to drive it home
FOR REAL THO imma bout to sample that
I was trying to Shazam it but no luck lol
Maybe it's just because of the era but really gave me some Tangerine Dream vibes
Music was just better
I'd definitely love to see a papa meat video specifically on the "protect and survive" psas/pifs
Was just looking for a good vid to watch. Thanks for uploading!
Cum on in
21:22 "he's like ᵗʰᵉ ʷⁱⁿᵈˢ ᶜᵒˡᵈ ᵘᵖ ʰᵉʳᵉ. and he's like ＳＨＡＤＤＡＰ"
I love this sm 🤣😭
There was a psa where a teens younger brother gets electrocuted and they show the fried body getting taken away, AND THEN the mom shows up and screams at the older brother like "it's all your fault! You were supposed to be watching him!" And they loudly sob together about the younger brother being dead.
I'm surprised that one wasn't in this video.
I think part of it was but just not the full clip. I know which one you mean though. Absolutely awful but impactful.
I vividly remember those safety films from infant school in the 90s. They definitely left a lasting impression! I developed a fear of substations and deep water, especially gravel pits where, sadly, accidents were common. Back then, a lot of the power infrastructure was relatively new, so the dangers weren't as widely understood. Those public information films really drove home the message to stay safe and avoid those hazards. Lesson is don't touch the grass, stay in play games and be safe.
When a child gets killed in a horror movie, you know all bets are off, and nobody's safe.
Just watched the new Alien movie and instantly knew I'm in for some fucked up shit the moment they told you one girl was pregnant...
🎶Let's go fly a kite! Up to the highest heights! Let's go fly a kite, and blow our shins off!🎶
😂
I still binge PSA/PIF compilations every once in a while. Makes me wish they were still made to this day, or at the very least, broadcasted on public television again. There's something nostalgic about watching these in the early hours of the morning, and marveling at the MASSIVE variety of quality (and not so quality) films.
PSA, infomercials and bloopers are definitely my cosy nostalgia spot. They remind me of both when I was a kid watching tv, AND when I first started watching YT 😂
If you think these are bleakly British, I'd love to see Hunter's reaction to the apocalyptic docudrama Threads (1984) and the 1970s public information films Protect and survive.
27:26 At least the dog was okay!
I feel bad I was more worried for the dogs safety
The modern PSAs are also WILD. There's one about texting and driving where a car that wasn't paying attention ends up crashing and rolling over into someone's backyard where a bunch of kids are having a picnic. It's incredibly brutal.
Yeah with that cover of Sweet Child Of Mine playing?
That one is INSANE
its literally a meme
There was one that was a sequel to the “this is your brain on drugs”. It was like, this is your face, your slimy dealer, and your baby with him, and your family not answering your calls… only saw it once but will never forget that one.
I lived in the UK from 1997-99 (from Aus) and we definitely watched that first video of that kid getting lit up by his socks when I was 10. I had suppressed that memory until now, thanks Hunter
22:10 considering she was hit by a massive train she’s relatively intact
