Remember our adverts like this did not be on during the day it was on after 9pm some of them after 10pm at night when children was in bed UK never had anything traumatic on tv when children was awake
I can appreciate how difficult a watch this was for you. In the UK, when we tackle a serious subject, we tend to do so very seriously. I think you came into this expecting to see commercials for products, but ended up with some of our more impactful Public Safety Ads. Drop one of these into a standard commercial break and it gets remembered, making them very effective for the charities, organisations and causes behind them. Watching a bunch of them one after the next as you've done here, was always going to be hard even if you knew what you were getting into, so I thank and applaud you for sticking with it.
Each of these adverts are intended to be hard hitting! The British are very skilled at these. Some I have not seen in a long long time. Watching them all together gives no time to recover. You did well to get to the end!! Shows you are caring people.
Don't apologise for pausing or reacting this way. We're here to listen to your commentary and reaction, and if these videos leaves anyone unaffected they're not human❤ It's good to be reminded if the bad, because how can we solve a problem without actually seeing it?
With this labour government? We will remember for a very long time? And that ain’t even a advert? Yep we brits keep it real? 🏴🇮🇪🏴🏴🫵🏽🤫🤫👍🏽🇬🇧🇬🇧
My husband is Scottish and I am American. He told me about the adverts he grew up with and how impactful they were! Even the signs here are that way. We have way more public transportation and you wouldn't DARE think of crossing over and messing with any of the levers! The signs are dire! I think the US needs a bit more of this. xx
I dont know if you realise the actress in the sex trafficking one is a great British actress Emma Thompson. I saw how difficult that was to watch and that is what these are supposed to do, take things seriously and make you think. Because she is a famous actress and if you look at her usual roles, this made it even more shocking for many. Respect to her for doing this.
Agreed - huge respect... She is still Chair / President of the Helen Bamber Foundation + Patron of Refugee Council + Patron of Elton John AIDS Foundation + Ambassador for Galapagos Conservation Trust + Active supporter of Greenpeace and Women's Equality Party ... and others I'm sure. More than just a great actress
The advert with the woman in the wheelchair was trying to show that with motor neuron disease you lose all control of your body except your mind a person with MND becomes like a prisoner in there own bodies.
All thanks to the amazing work of The NHS . Stephen expressed this himself that even though in the later stages of the condition, he had personal nursing and care assistants if it wasn't for the early intervention of the doctors and nurses of the NHS and their excellent work ,he doesn't think he would have lived so long.
The British are realists, it has to be as realistic to get the message through. Harsh and cruel works. Lots of British workers are now required to learn many first aid actions. I myself have had heart defibrillator and resuscitation training.
The ads show awful humans doing awful things, and good people in crisis, and they're hard to watch, but... ultimately... they also show hope. They show that we care about each other. All the charities in the ads do such important work and rely on donations from us. The ads prompt us to put our hands in our pockets to help our fellow earthlings. I'm glad you stuck with it and watched them all. The fact that you were both so affected by them shows what huge caring hearts you have. We must continue to look at the bad stuff so we know how to fix it.
UK here . I was born in 1960 . Some of the stay safe ads we had to watch in primary school were terrifying . Dark Waters left me with a life long fear of deep water 😢
These are public service announcements rather than advertisements. I think the one 'Torture By Any Other Name' is the one that hits the hardest because it is still going on today all over the world. The actress ins this advert is Emma Thompson who was in the movie 'Nanny McPhee' and 'Love Actually'.
I remember these from when I was a child...never forgot them, it made me care about everyone, everywhere. As soon as I was 16 I learned first aid and cpr etc and check my fire alarms once a month, I have these adverts to thank
There are so many more than these. I remember watching PSAs as a kid mainly about the dangers of lakes/rivers (Dark Water), stranger danger (Charlie Says…), sparklers for bonfire night, train tracks, crossing the road with the Green Cross Code Man - who was also Darth Vader in the costume, seat belts - the crash test dummies scared the bejesus out of me. Shame we don’t have PSAs now.
Trust me, my man, watching this always brings me to tears and fills me with incredibly strong emotions. These adverts are obviously designed to really shock people, and as hard as it is to comprehend, this is a lot of people's reality. Sometimes only the graphic truth of reality is the only thing to make us understand the horrific struggles people go through and to appreciate how good our own lives actually are for most of us. Thank God a lot of us are in a position to help these vital organisations that do incredible work.
My dad died of Motor Neurone Disease in 2005. Yes, it is basically like that, in a nutshell. You go from perfectly healthy, to only being able to move your eyes, within about a year. There is no cure, and no way of knowing why it chooses you. You end up drowning in your own saliva.
Deepest sympathy- it is a terrible disease, awful to suffer and almost as bad to watch someone you love suffering. We lost a very dear friend to it. By the way, I think the Americans tend to call it ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease.
Very rare i see these now i tend watch streaming services. But i still remeber the ones from when i was a kid in 70s and 80s. The drowning one. The kid getting knocked down and the kid getting electricuted
Some of these are PSA’s public service announcements from 30 years ago but i remember them so that proves they work. i’m from Scotland, UK. The UK doesn’t shy away from these topics because they are important and they would be shown after the 9pm watershed so kids don’t see them. Take care 😘🏴
These are, more realistically, Public Service Announcements. I remember these, and many others, from when I was a child. They warned children to not talk to (or walk away with) strangers, to not play on railway lines, or near electricity sub-stations or near water - and the importance of learning to swim. They really did frighten me and my sisters, though!
Adverts don't have to be commercial(s) We have always had some fairly blunt/punchy public health or safety adverts here in the UK but EVERYONE knows certain critical messages. Don't apologise for finding some of them very hard viewing, their were meant to be, it proves you are human. You should be worried if you didn't but it punches the messages home. You both pass the humanity test with flying colours
You're very kind people. I'm British and saw these ads, growing up. Obviously it's designed to shock you into donating, to the charities who produce the ads. But I'd say there's a bigger message. We're all the same. Valuable human beings, who need others. If not right now, at some point in our lives. Big hugs too you both ❤️
The ones we got in schools were crazy, there imprinted to this day, There was one were someone had a remote and accidentally fast forward there life I still dont fully understand why but it scared hell out me lol
Nearly all of them were money-raising ads for charities not PSA's. St John's Ambulance x2, Motor Neurone Disease Association, Barnardos x2, British Red Cross, Helen Bamber Association, Save the Children - all charities.
Our tv adverts can be very hard hitting, and if they stixk in tour head enough to help save just 1 life, it is worth it. If people aren't moved by adverts like these, then they aren't human and have a swinging brick in place of a heart. Like the 1st one with the kid asking parents to promise to check the smoke alarm works, I don't know any parents who didn't go straight away to check and make sure theirs was working. Some even changed the battery the 1st time they saw the advert, to be 1000% sure it was working. That in itself would have saved so many lives becauze it also got people talking to others about making sure they checked their smoke alarm too.
respect to you both on these adverts as a uk guy from the late early 70s as a 11year old ,we didnt have parents watching us ,we climbed trees if we fell we laughed at eachother or climbed in falling down factories and houses to play, at least 2 of us went through rotten staircases and floors ,fell in canals just to name a few,we didnt go home till the street lamps came on
As a fellow Briton of about the same age I recognize all of this, plus abandoned quarries and disused railway tunnels. I think back and wonder 'How the fuck did we ever survive!'
God bless guy's. Being human brings the blessing of emotion. You are good people. If there is one thing everyone should learn it is basic first aid. Your loved one's are too important not to 🙏
Every single 1 of them was shown on UK tv. The 1 about Sarah's story, Motor neuron disease. People a few years back where doing the ice bucket challenge. Well that was associated with MND or as people called it ALS. Yet some people still have no idea about what it was for.
I am british and a mother i had forgotten half of these. The 2nd one brought tears to my eyes even though advert. I feel they have got softer knowadays
These are meant to get to you, the very reason these adverts were made was to evoke an emotional response because they're a call to action. Those charities are helping people in those situations so they want to show why continued support is important, without support tgey get shut down. The THINK campaign is a public service announcement, there's still an issue with motorcycle fatalities & the point is to really make people remember to watch out & drive carefully - you're not gonna be thinking of the driving theory test that told you this when driving but the idea is this advert will make you remember. There was also a whole series of adverts trying to combat drink driving over here in the U.K.
Thank you so much for watching until the end. MND is really like that, for reference watch Professor Stephen Hawking and a famous English Rugby player, Rob Burrow. It's a brutal disease which is unsurvivable. The Upnote is, if you can find an Emergency First Aiders course then please join up, you guys could be the difference between a great outcome and another human being ending up like some of these tragic outcomes. Thanks again. ❤️❤️
you did really well watching some of the most hard hitting adverts the UK has done over several yrs all in one video never apologise for getting emotional when reacting to some of these you have a heart you care.
Our british adverts really show true things thats going on in the world ,appreciate u watching them ,could see really tugged at your hearts ,bless u ,but dont it make u think 😢
Its so true that war will make the next generation of children angry and cold. Its not worth the conflict. Its always over some bs. The stop the cycle is so true! Your reactions show you have a loving heart and soul. I hope these ads kept in the heart of many. Living here there are millions of amazing people so maybe they did stick. Peace to you both! xx
It must be tough to watch these. If you've never seen one before. You did very well to watch 10 in one go. They have a purpose and do work. No matter how upsetting they are.
Regarding the Motor neurone disease video (MND) is the name for a group of diseases. These diseases affect nerves known as motor nerves, or motor neurons. In MND, these neurons degenerate and die. This causes the muscles to become weaker and weaker. This eventually leads to paralysis and eventually fatal
These were made for you to relise the real problems in life it's very hard to watch but it hits home and to wake up the world around you medical mental and the problems real people face so don't turn away let it sink in and change what you don't know to what you do
I just want to say on the tree ad, the purpose wasn’t to say the dad should’ve been looking. It was purely highlighting the need for volunteers and for more people to train in first aid. No parent can truthfully say they have never taken their eye of their child not even for a second whist they have been with them. Absolutely no one can truthfully claim that. That really wasn’t the point.
I think there’s a certain attitude that says “why make this sweet?” We’re not trying to suggest you don’t drink and drive, we’re telling you why you shouldn’t. The consequences should be shown because that’s what happens. It’s not a problem if it’s upset you so much you can’t drive anymore. You should know what can happen if you drink and drive. If you can’t be rational and say “I won’t have any alcohol at all if I’m driving in the next 12 hours”, you should be too scared to drive.
The Adverts have to be really tough to make sure that everyone understands, there are almost designed to scare you, And the subjects that get talked about, that isn't a bad thing.
Motor Neuron Disease is also called the Locked In Disease. You have heard of it. Professor Stephen Hawking is probably the most famous person who had it.
Yeah. But if these ads don't hit you like a ton of bricks, there is something wrong with you. But the big question. How long after seeing these did you go check your smoke alarms?
It`s supposed to be hard hitting to make you actually think using perspective and metaphor, it`s doing it`s job on you 2. I can see you care enough to keep watching. that can only be a good thing. The British have always been hard hitting on their Public information films, they scared me to death when I was a child, but their messages got through. It`s serves no purpose hiding the truth.
We british don't mess around when it comes to getting the nations attention with adverts, it is meant to shock & make you think. That is the point of it.
I am thankful every day that I was taught first aid by St John's it has come in handy too many times ,from patching up cuts and wounds on my children to stopping a stranger bleeding out due to a head wound caused by being attacked with a 2×4 bit of wood in a bar fight. Every new parent or soon to be parent should be taught first aid from how to treat bumps and bruises to aiding a choking baby/ child , to full CPR it literally could save lives.
We dont mess about in the UK, these adverts are meant to be as effective as possible, Ive been watching adverts like these and even worse since the 80's.
Some of these Public Service Announcements (Adverts) are 30+ years old. They obviously work because i remember them like it was yesterday.
Oh wow 😮
Just 3 words for you. "Play It Safe"..
I'll never forget the picture of the degloved hand
Remember our adverts like this did not be on during the day it was on after 9pm some of them after 10pm at night when children was in bed UK never had anything traumatic on tv when children was awake

I think number 2 destroyed you, as it should. we are privialled beyond belief but there is a cost we pay.
we Brits never do things by half, its all or nothing. and it works, i bet you will remember these for a long time

There are much scarier so I had forgotten these x
cats in the cradle, ( northern Ireland advert) one of the most effective of the time
Good review 😮
They are tough, but effective. They don’t appear on TV all at once!
These ads were on when I was young, I'm now old and very little has changed. Ehat a sad world we have created.🙏

There was one were someone had a remote and accidentally fast forward there life

Try some of the Irish road safety ads. I would suggest "Mess (2007)" and "Can't take my eyes off you".
You look good together. All the very best.

The thing is these are just videos but the things in those videos happen much more than you might think to millions of people every year

Us brits keep it real, we don’t beat around the bush
You want to check out the ones we where shown at school with electric power one or the train stations
Yeah. But if these ads don't hit you like a ton of bricks, there is something wrong with you.
But the big question. How long after seeing these did you go check your smoke alarms?
So difficult to watch
Peace love from England ❤
A hard watch but the Ads do as intended... painful but getting the point over
We brits don’t hold back
Was expecting to see the anti smoking while pregnant ad from the late 80s/early 90s in this compilation. That was hard
It`s supposed to be hard hitting to make you actually think using perspective and metaphor, it`s doing it`s job on you 2. I can see you care enough to keep watching. that can only be a good thing. The British have always been hard hitting on their Public information films, they scared me to death when I was a child, but their messages got through. It`s serves no purpose hiding the truth.
That is cool eyeshadow 😎
It is away us british have found away to make people remember things and to make sure we act.
Absolutely!
Very tragic and emotional
They are meant to make you think and be aware. 30yrs on abd they still work
6:52 Motor Neurone Disease is what ALS is called in the UK.
We british don't mess around when it comes to getting the nations attention with adverts, it is meant to shock & make you think. That is the point of it.
This is what we teach our children, yet we are still looked as bad guys?
Best reaction ever
These show how we all need to know first aid, and CPR
I am thankful every day that I was taught first aid by St John's it has come in handy too many times ,from patching up cuts and wounds on my children to stopping a stranger bleeding out due to a head wound caused by being attacked with a 2×4 bit of wood in a bar fight. Every new parent or soon to be parent should be taught first aid from how to treat bumps and bruises to aiding a choking baby/ child , to full CPR it literally could save lives.
They are adverts....and they are supposed to be 'real' to get the message through.
We dont mess about in the UK, these adverts are meant to be as effective as possible, Ive been watching adverts like these and even worse since the 80's.
