- R2 worries about coming down with childhood diseases like 'whooping cough' (or Pertussis for you eggheads out there). Threepio, of all characters, calms him down then tells the 'parents of Earth' to make sure their kids are fully immunized. From the late 70's.
Don't worry R2. We droids are much too mighty to catch diseases like whooping cough or measles or polio...
...BUT CHILDREN DO.
Before childhood immunizations were politicized, and alleged grown men argue with fictitious birds.
PREACH IT!
I just attended a marathon screening of the original trilogy on 35mm and they showed this before Ep IV. Everyone in the audience cheered. It was nice to know there were no anti-vaxxers present 🙂
I Katy Perry wink in approval.
This didn't age well.
Hooping Cough, when your cough makes you good at 3-pointers
"You want to buy some essential oils?"
"You don't want to sell me essential oils."
"I don't want to sell you essential oils."
"You want to go home and rethink your anti-vaccine views."
"I want to go home and rethink my anti-vaccine views."
C-3PO also enjoys Cool Hwip
I used to squeal for joy when this one came on!
This is back when R2 had to project 3P0's lines
Any ad that uses the word 'alas' needs to be taken seriously.
OMG HE HAS 2 GOLD LEGS!!!! if you are not aware, he never has gold legs in the movie, one is silver. But no one recalls a silver leg, everyone recalls 2 gold legs. But social media says your crazy because he never ever had 2 gold legs..... but he does in this.
Maybe he has a bunch of legs.
@Angie2343 lol no, u don't understand if you watch every movie he is in, he allways has 1 chrome leg and one gold. But ppl who grew up on star wars from the 70s are all shocked to learn he has 1 chrome leg. They recall 2 gold ones. Yet somehow in this video he has 2 gold ones, y? Why do thousands of ppl recall him only having 2 gold legs, and why does he have 2 gold legs here, but he NEVER had 2 gold legs in any of the movies?
@@dude8223 Good point
Great PSA
Someone send this to Essential Oils.
Seth MacFarlane and Covid 19 sent me here.
Back before the California hipsters decided to bring back the dark ages of medicine.
Cringy Autist I wouldn't blame the California Hipsters. I'd blame the idiots. At least Hipsters know there's definitely pros to vaccination.
Does anyone notice that BOTH of 3PO's legs are gold and not o e if them is silver? The "powers that be" are trying to mess with our minds with that #MandelaEffect stuff!!...🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Am I the only nit-picky weirdo out there who notices R2's face being flipped repeatedly?
@rhinnawi95 correlation =! causation. Autism is diagnosed in greater numbers because of awareness, not immunizations.
It cost the pharmaceutical companies millions to make you believe this. I guess it was worth every penny.
@@caseypsaThere's absolutely no evidence to support a vaccination-autism link. The doctor that published that"finding" 25 or so years ago not only had his paper thoroughly debunked, he lost his license to practice medicine. And how do you think companies make money off autism? Most vaccinations are inexpensive, low earning products. They make money, in the US, off anything you see advertised on TV. There's no treatment for autism to bring in revenue anyhow. Please remove the tin foil hat.
You could write to Pueblo, CO to get info on anything back then. Awesome PSA!
That must have been one massive warehouse for all those brochures.
Guess this was shot one evening during filming of the 1st movie. Ellstree studios,- what is now a carpark for a supermarket..
guess GOP are boycotting star wars now
Whooping cough sucks. Coughing fits so hard I puked for two weeks, then settled down into a dry cough for six months.
I had all the normal shots when I was a kid, but the whooping cough one had worn off by the time I was in 7th grade and my parents didn't know you should get a booster shot every 7-10 years like tetanus.
Vaccinate your kids and get boosters as adults!
If only people know that.
or maybe you got the disease because they gave it to you.
@@dedpxl idiot
I wonder if you followed the narrative and kept getting vaccinated. 😂
@@dmace81Against childhood diseases that used to kill millions of kids? You better believe I get the boosters when required. My family lost a two year old to TB and measles. By the way, calling something you don't like a"narrative" doesn't change reality, it just means you slept through science class.
You got that, anti-vaxxers?! You had darn well BETTER listen to C-3PO and R2-D2!
This is about immunization, not the covid vaccines. Look it up, the covid vaccines do not immunise you. If they did those who were immunized would get covid.
AMEN! ✊
LOL. Do the words 'Died Suddenly' have any meaning to you folks?
This didn't age well.
@@caseypsa
Yes because people didn't die of undiagnosed shit before right?
R2 would 'never' have those worries but 3PO's right.
I like c3po because he gives very good advice about stuff such as how to stay healthy and to never get sick the old classic Star Wars movies and shows were always classic to me even to this day c3po is my all time favorite character from Star Wars it’s kinda to bad he’s gonna be in the last film of Star Wars rise of skywalker in that film no more c3po but at least I can still watch a cartoon of c3po and r2d2 still classic yup still classic
Broke: Whooping cough
Woke: W'hooping cough
I want to see the extended PSA where C3PO says to R2D2 to stay away from unknown droids, they could be illegal and not immunized!
so this is what they did while the others were gone?
Maybe 3PO is Stewie's dad. Same voice - he even says "Hooping Cough." Now I want to hear him say "Cool Hwip."
Me and Far2
Wearing flesh just like you do
SINGULARITTTTYYYYYY
Made to promote the movie: Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope released in theaters on May 25th, 1977.
It would have been amazing if Anthony Daniels had voiced this.
Didn't he voice the smoking one?
@@Ben-ed4wx he did, he talks about it in his book
C3po with 2 gold legs
I’m crying
Why is a droid wishing that the force be with me?
poor writing. I agree it is out of place.
Because no one else wished it for him... he was allways annoying
This could 'never' happen to R2, Funny thing is even 3PO says so.
I got an idea for one. Let’s us ED-209 from RoboCop.
ED-209: VACCINATE YOUR CHILD. YOU HAVE TWENTY SECONDS TO COMPLY.
way too relevant today...
I remember this
Poor Artoo.
c3po scares me
I heard it too.
@Leatherbubba
I have never heard that one before! Sounds pretty rediculous to me!
Kylo ren is an anti vaxxer
Nah, Han and Leia definitely got him vaccinated as a kid. He would have needed it to go to Luke’s Jedi school. I do believe General Grievous might be an antivaxxer though…
Needs Chewbacca!
Shaking My Head Productions sent me.
Why? It's an excellent PSA. This was three years before smallpox was fully eradicated after having killed tens of millions of children in the 20th century. Vaccines work.
No silver leg there #mandella
lol! robots can get sick?
COVID-19 update?
wait a minute, call the government to find out if "YOUR" kids have been vaccinated...?
Does anyone else find that questionable?
I’m guessing the “call your doctor or your local health department” had to do with the records, since kids need certain immunizations on record to go to school.
@@JakeStaffin thank you
People don't always keep good records for this stuff. My mom always knew, but if my dad needed to take over, he'd have had no idea. Departments of Health track lots of things related to public health.
what year is that from
The golden year of 1977 I believe!
Is this canon?
Do you want it to be?
@@superpaytonmars8852 yes
Thumbs up if io9 sent you here
Would you take advices from a droid with motion imparement?
C3PO gave me autism
More like "Baw-tism"...lol
This is entirely appropriate in every way. Once again, those pushing a vaccination will never actually get it themselves.
Remember, kids, always ask of others to do things that you would never do to yourself.
Marino, I’m the sort of person who not only pushes vaccination, but has received every vaccination since I started school in 1961. Several of the vaccines for smallpox, live polio, and measles come to mind. Because of high global vaccination rates, smallpox has been eradicated globally. The live polio vaccine is no longer required (the US can now use the safer killed virus version of the polio vaccine), and deaths due to polio have plummeted in the U.S. from 1-3 thousand children per year (1950s), to almost none. A big push on the measles vaccine mean that while there are measles flare-ups in unvaccinated areas, measles is no longer endemic in the U.S., meaning it no longer automatically recirculates year after year. This saves the lives of another 400 children per year (based on 1950s data). Actually, without vaccines, as the US population has more than doubled, you can safely double the children’s lives saved annually: 2,000 - 6,000 per year saved from polio, and another 800 children’s lives saved from measles and its complications.
The actors were almost definitely vaccinated with whatever was available to them, especially as they were around for polio and measles and other diseases before vaccinations. They probably knew people who'd had those illnesses or may have had them themselves.
And on what planet do people who promote life-saving vaccines not get them for themselves and their families? If anything, they're the best about staying on top of vaccines and boosters. These people include medical professionals.
In other words, you have no idea what you're talking about.
