16:57 Irish Speeding PSA
19:11 Final Thoughts
19:43 Outro - Zábava
Confused that they struggled with the concept of the speeding PSA so much. It’s meant to be traumatising, to scare you out of speeding, it does it’s job in both shock factor and putting the message across in a figure that people can comprehend. Good job Northern Ireland, even if it does make for extremely grim viewing.
That’s what I thought. Good for them traumatizing people and telling you YEAH THIS HAPPENS on a commercial. The balls I love it
You could have done a whole episode of just '60s and '70s commercials that would be considered offensive today.
The Irish Speeding PSA works! It shocks and horrifies, it startles and it makes you think. The fact that they were immediately horrified shows that the commercial achieves its purpose because no person wants to think of a child, much less a classroom thereof, being harmed, especially where it could have been avoided. And frankly, I think that being hit in the face with that reality stays with you and that's the aim.
That Irish one… got the message across right? So many people text and drive, eat and drive, etc. without a care.
omfg if people are sexualizing the diapers commercial....then they need help! The commercial was fine...if you think it in a wrong way then you're the issue...
Beni said it best "Nasty people kind of ruin everything."
I do not see what is so wrong with the Irish speeding one. It is meant to be a wake up call
My thoughts exactly!!
Exactly, it did what it was suppose to shock you into wanting to make a choice and actually slow down, we have had some great speeding commercials here in Australia, the UK has some great ones too
6:34 I agree Cassie. Creeped out by the people, not the innocently portrayed babies.
youre not creeped out by the extreme closeups of babies bums at low angles girating and smushing repeatedly against clear surfaces and or ADULT heads?
@@RecoveringChristianAnd like I said in my other comment, in my generation, it was normal for people to have bare baby butt pictures of their kids. There was never anything sexual about it. Kids are more comfortable, especially in the heat, with less clothes. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I understand the thinking nowadays, with some of the people that are out there, but if you have normal thought processes, there's nothing wrong with it.
@@RecoveringChristianAnd honestly, if you pay attention to the reactors, none of them had a problem with it either. They were actually confused on why that was a controversial commercial.
@@timisme8360 "have bare baby butt" in private family photos somehow equals "gyrations and smushing of said bare bottoms at extreme close ups from vamping angles REPEATEDLY, in addition to CLEAR glass surfaces to see the smush and or the heads of grown adults in NATIONAL commercial spots.
@@timisme8360 dude....we saw the tay-ints. We never saw those in the 80s 90s or 2000s. But sure..your "generation".
They should do most controversial movies ever made.
3:36 Ya KNOW Benison's bothered/pissed. The face says it all. You never see him with this face! He's always so happy go lucky!
Wait till they find out that PSAs like that Irish one are the norm in Europe. Like us in America thought ours was extreme. Turns out we’re just a puppy compared to Europe.
The Irish one deserves respect! It's so real! That's whats happens and all the people who drives under the influence should be ashamed.
Exactly! Shocking yes, but aparently not enough to get the point across to everyone. If you start thinking about what commercial comes next it simply wasn't good enough. For influenced driving, commercials just MUST pack a punch to get people to shock, awe and simply stand still and not be able to remember the rest of the commercial break.
What's crazy is all these commercials get thoroughly vetted before airing lol.
"PROTEINS ON HER BACK" 😂
I LOVE THE TRAUMATIZING PSAs! Bring them back! Bring back the great TRUAMA Era to educate everyone!
I don't find the commercials funny or offensive. But i understand why some people would find them offensive or tone deaf. The diaper one did make me ask "am i the only one who thinks it's weird that they're just zooming in on baby butts over and over?" Clearly, i was not alone.
The Pepsi commercial seems like a play on that thing with the hippy putting a flower in the soldier’s gun barrel.
bro i love Jaxon so much lol. he's so funny
Do people not understand satire anymore? That was the snickers commercials.
They understand, and that's why they are not happy
Most of these takes I agree with but personally I always saw the Gillette commercial being about men holding other men accountable for their actions and creating a better world for everyone, not belittling the MeToo movement at all. That's just my take though.
I agree, but also, Gillette using that message to sell more razors is a bit yuck.
@@KBRollerreally? I feel that they where just using their platform to spread the message, considering they’re pretty popular and a lot of people would see it.
That Irish anti speeding advert wasn't all that bad. I grew up in the UK in the 80s and 90s. There was a lot of PSA adverts about not playing with kites or Frisbees near electricity pylons or playing on railway tracks. As well as playing in slurry pits and they were terrifying. Certainly put you off doing those things. I think that's what they tried to do with this advert but got it a bit wrong.
I was as shocked as everyone else with the last commercial.
i was shocked i was
An English teacher showed my class that one once in Middle School, and it's never left my head since.
Damn that Irish Speeding one was wild
I just watched the Irish Speeding PSA uncensored. It was crazy!
That last one is pretty tame compared to the TAC commercials here in Australia.
the girls saying the gillette commercial is "oh the men save the women" are completely missing the point and just trying to be offended so bad
I feel like pretty much the whole world missed the point of that one.
Exactly like they are really stretching the point of the video😑
THANK YOU
0:11 Haley's outfit and her appearance in this video reminds me of the Spider-Man character Black Cat (Felicia Hardy).
I really hope the character gets a big role in the films, Felicia Hardy was a character on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) and had a significant stretch in Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994-1998).
You completely fumbled the ball with K-Mart's "Ship my pants" commercial.
some of yall reached with that razor one.
it has nothing to do with the product or company
so?@@punkrockprincess0818
wtf do u mean so??? so why the hell are they showing it?? make it make sense@@RPGs
@raijinthunders7180 it was displaying a positive message. Wtf do you mean? Don't tell me you're one of those I want change but complain that it does peeps. It was about the product tag line
@@RPGs And yet we still dont know anything about the product. People want to know about the products not a preachy message which doesnt apply to the vast majority of people
How to make it better, Kendall gives the Pepsi to the cop, the cop gives it to a protester.
Missed the worst of all, the washing the black out of the Asian man.
In the 90’s there was ER doctor who did don’t drink and drive campaigns for people who had a d.u.i with uncensored pictures of car accidents with drunk drivers. Needless to say, the number of drunk drivers rapidly decreased over the following years until he was accused of breaking the privacy rules between doctors and patients.
i need a compilation of bennison's shocked faces 😂😂😂 🫨😮😯😦😧😨
I was expecting things more like the first half of the commercials shown, absolutely not like the last one. Also, I was hoping for that one banned Skittles commercial, which I would love to have been at the board meeting for
6:40 I am never going to forget that Love's Baby Soft commercial!
Colorism is prevalent among minority communities .
meanwhile react has had how many kpop groups on? how many shades of white are they? excluding the token international groups.
Legit cried with the Speeding PSA one. That is DISGUSTING!
so basically she said the pepsi commercial was supposed to be good because of george floyd incident but that commercial aired in 2017 and george floyd wasn’t murdered till 2020…?
oop-plot hole!
It wasn’t for George Floyd but represented the same thing
People take things way too seriously.
@@fivemjsyou’re probably du*** understand
I don't think they realized that the commercial was aired in 2017 when she was saying that it doesn't show the year like it does for us for them. They just get shown the commercial
Back in the day when we had to do driver's training. They made us watch faces of death movies. The last reaction was the best.
I need to know where to find that speeding PSA uncensored. I know some people who'd benefit from watching it uncut. Honestly, I think we need more stuff like that. Because people today are so used to there being no consequences for what they do. They think maybe at most they might get a ticket. Also, wreckless drivers should have to help clean up wrecks, so they can see first hand what they're capable of causing.
Surprised you didn’t show the “Back to School: School $h00ting” PSA from a few years ago…
I was watching a “South Park” marathon one evening working late through Sling TV (which likes to repeat commercials during breaks)…and they kept repeating this commercial over AND OVER again…
I was watching South Park to lighten the mood for late work time, dude. I didn’t need to see THAT on repeat!
1:19 I'm assuming they had a long list of people and she was the only one that said "sure... Why not." 😂🤦♀️
I was expecting the public service announcement where they swap Smokey the Bear out with a supermodel. This stuff was downright horrific!
If an advert about dangerous driving doesn't have shocking consequences, what is the the point of an advert about dangerous driving? It's aimed at people who don't think/care enough about the consequences of dangerous driving.
Today's world is so sensitive so I bet they was trying to avoid offending anyone, the Karen's of the world, so they won't be canceled.
Exactly, I actually thought it was a good advert because nobody thinks about that when they speed etc. maybe they need to do that with more subjects of concern.
18:18 I dunno, I think this is fine to really show people what is possible when you speed. Soft words and funny clips won't do it.
You should do reactions to Canadian Concerned Children's Advertiser PSA's, Work Safety Inspection Board PSA's or just Canadian commercials of the 80's and 90's generally. Some of them are wild!
Don't you put it in your mouth, house hippos, and the boy being chased by the girls PSA are my absolute favs. Never forgetti
not gonna happen. too canadian
@@RecoveringChristian It would be all Canadian. No such thing as 'too Canadian" lol
@@frankcaggiano8282 Yeah, those are great and then there are ones that are absolute nightmare fuel :) lol
@@drewc981 so far only fringe channels have been doing this (Scottish guy living in Asia, 2 Australian youtubers, a couple of Americans, thats all really). Slim chance react will follow suite. Too niche.
Yea... Who else will be scarred for life see the Speeding PSA commercial (Thank a lot Irish...)
i was so scarred for life to see that the Speeding PSA commercial (Thanks a lot Irish) that will stuck in head forever intill new year start in 2025 for sure
It's crazy how suprised people in America are about skin-whitening products.
Especially because this comes from cultures being so colonized over hundreds of years that they developed this whole "white is superior" complex. Light skin is such a common beauty standard in the Philippines (I didnt know it was like that in India too), and this comes with a lot of skin-whitening products.
that’s what i was thinking honestly. not that promoting skin lightening is okay, but as an american i knew from the moment i read the name it was gonna be whitening
The Australian PSA for drunk driving was even more graphic than the Irish one
Is it the one where one of the cars is turning out of a road and it like freezes and they both come out of the car and the parent begs for the child’s life in the car that was just going along normally or is it a different one??
@@kaylaliv15 hold on let me find the link for you and see if I could paste it as a reply
@@TheSadiemagic I believe it’s a different one. It shows different scenarios where a drunk driver either killed or injures someone or they get arrested but it was pretty graphic.
@@Brandedbyfire oh ok haven’t seen that one, doesn’t sound nice
George Floyd was not 2017, Cassie. Pepsi wasn't responding to that one.
I think 2017 was a mistake. In the commercial they mention Black Lives Matter
I cant imagine how they would react to the banned Skittles commercial 😂😂😂
The Pepsi one is just outrageous
I don’t get what’s outrageous about it really I’m asking
the original or the snl version?
@@erzaender original
@@everyonesalittlemad1608 and why the snl one is funny?
That speeding commercial made me choke on Pepsi.
The most shocking commercial that I’ve ever seen was the Australian stay in school commercial. If you’ve ever seen it you know! The plot twist 😅😅
Was that the one with the explosion?
@@DesertKitsune yes
I mean. The PSA got the point across.
The skin lightening cream confused me until the reactors 'got it', then I got it and my jaw almost hit my desk, like what the actual hell D: The pop chips commercial, I thought it was satirical at first, and then just confused. The '75 lotion or whatever commercial just hit all the 'Ew no' buttons. The last one... I HAD to go look up the uncensored version just because I wondered how they did the effect, cuz obviously they wouldn't actually put children in danger .... still pretty dark.
The Boys parody version of the Pepsi commercial will forever be my favourite. You should’ve shown it.
Makes me proud to be half Irish after seeing that commercial!
This is a great example of how people actively LOOK for reasons to be offended. Gotta admit the skin whitening one had my jaw on the floor though
Exactly.
Someone on tiktok posted the PSA one, as well as two others. One for texting and driving, and the other for drunk driving. Its absolutely horrific but gets the point across.
now THAT was a bit too much lol. who did that car commercial, michael bay???????? INSANE!
That Ashton Kutcher "Indian" commercial came 4 years after Mike Myers destroyed his career with The Love Guru. That should have been a sign.
13:17 Totally agree with Haley, a genie would have been much better!
People love genies (like on I Dream Of Jeannie and Aladdin) and the idea that they can grant their wishes.
Heck, they could have even used someone like Christina Aguilera ("Genie In A Bottle).
The fact that I was around to see most of these and some companies still haven't learn their lesson
That last one was bad but it was effective. Remember speeding kills
I remember when the Irish PSA was being shown on Irish TV. They created a load of them all together. Including the one you saw, one that killed two teenages on a bridge and one other that I can't quite remember. I had to leave the room anytime it was being shown!😓
I just saw that Huggies commercial for the first time like 6 hours ago and I was like wtf is this 😂😂😂
Who greenlighted the Salesgenie and Popchips adverts??!! I need to watch something wholesome!!!!
While these were/are really bad; if you had done older commercials, you would have found much worse.
We (UK) have had some of the most shocking adverts that totally sucker punch you. I think that they must have found that shock tactics adverts have the biggest effect on the public when it came to PSA's.
Girl picks up the wrong end of the Sparkler and kid tries getting his Frisbee down from an electricity pylon are 2 that come to mind from when I was a kid.
The one i remember is the weird zombie kid where it goes, if you hit me at 30 i have an 80% chance to live..hit me at 60 etc lol. Or those nightclub ones with the people simulating a car crash
The Frisbee one was hard hitting & they did a kind of remake late 80s called Football.
I thought the huggies commercial was hilarious. I have twin toddlers. While I agree that the toddlers did not have a choice in the commercial, neither do children have a choice in whether mom and dad take photos or pictures and share them with friends and familly. I understand predators exist, but those children were so far removed from possible harm.
Even though it can be said that people(which implies men & women) have selective outrage, I think that a lot more women have selective outrage. Your comment & the female Reactors in the video are proof of that.
americans so affected by anything.
Maybe they need to get people from different nations as reactors
kind of surprised that there weren't some Canadian PSAs, and those were what i grew up with
The Pepsi commercial was the opposite of Coca-Cola's "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke."
Yeah, after that kid squishing commercial, Gillette is looking a little better. Lol
A fair amount of naturally dark skinned cultures, especially many Asian view light or pale skin as a sign of wealth and prosperity and dark or tan as blue collar or poor. In some Polynesian and African tribal cultures it is the same with weight. Fat or heavier men and larger curvy women were attractive because having extra weight ment you were wealthy and prosperous.
It was like that also in Europe way back in the days of Kings, Princes and Counts ruling their lands. Lighter skin color meant not to have to work (in the fields) thus being wealthy and maybe even of aristocracy => upper class
@@zorrothebug exactly. It was just a fact of life back then. Shame that it is still so prevalent today.
0:16 I used to have a shirt like Bita's, it looked very similar (though the stripes were black instead of blue).
I received the shirt as a Christmas present one year in high school.
So years ago when they aired the actual Pepsi commercial, and then the controversy that followed, I didn’t get it, or maybe I didn’t care to… now seeing this, and how SNL aired their parody of said commercial, I now get it! 😅 😂
As a parent I hate the Huggies commercial when I first saw it I was like why???
This video taught me that some people will get upset about anything.
You know what be great if they had black man talk bout colorism and offensive topics than an all white and Asian panel
ON GOD!!!! A little melanin in this episode woulda been nice
You know what would be great, if people could just watch dumb shit and laugh instead of looking at everything wanting and trying to find something to be angry about. Jfc 🙄
@@frankcaggiano8282 you know what be great if some Italian capazo comes comment on a black man comment for wanting a different perspective from his race than see white Californian Asian guilt on topics that involves racism
But thats not on brand for this channel. IM OFFENDED YOU WOULD EVEN SUGGEST SUCH A THING
@@RecoveringChristian nobody blaming the channel it’s a suggestion that can make the melanin audience feel more connected
How come the Pandas With Problems have 1930s stereotype Asian accents, but the SalesGenie Saviour speaks perfectly unaccented English?
Oh my gosh, that last speeding commercial actually shocked me to tears! I was not expecting that at all!
I think the Snickers commercial was making fun of toxic masculinity.
Disgusting
That is obvious, but people imediately be guilt tripping and preaching, they disregard any subtletites and nuances.
Irish PSA had me rolling
🤣
Had the car rolling too
I had to look up the salesgenie one and the owner is Indian 😂 Asians mocking other Asians makes a lot more sense
That last one was crazy 😮
The snickers commercial is funny though.
Young California adults mindset summed up in 20 minutes
I remember when the Irish PSA was being shown on Irish TV. They created a load of them all together. Including the one you saw, one that killed two teenages on a bridge and one other that I can't quite remember. I had to leave the room anytime it was being shown!😓
I was kinda expecting that coffee incest commercial 😅
Wait what?! I didn't know Vince McMahon made a coffee commercial?!(If you know, you know!)
Not me laughing at the last one. 😅 ... Yikes 😬
The people who saw it on IH's video already know how badly edited it is too xD
Most of them should not be “controversial” yea distasteful and stupid but not controversial.
My ex-wife used to wear Loves Baby Soft and I actually liked the way it smelled but that commercial creeped me out from the moment I saw it. I knew that was wrong just like the Brooke Shields jeans commercials. Ot the kids beauty pageant show, can't remember the name. Saw that while flipping channels, thought WTF, and moved on.
Toddlers and Tiaras?
@@skyblue_jayyy is that it? I just know it was a beauty pageant show.
@@timisme8360 you said kids beauty pageant show and that’s what came to my mind
@@skyblue_jayyy I guess that would be it then. All I remember is seeing a bunch of 2/3 year olds wearing absurd amounts of makeup. I thought wtf and moved on with channel surfing.
5:07 That huggies commercial is a mix of huggies with almost like a club culture.
Im from Northern Ireland where the car kills the kids is from and i tell you theres alot more of these. Thats the worse one theres ones about seatbelts drink driving ect they are all traumatising x
Some of those were fine. Others were just terrible.
their was a commercial when I was a kid, incidentally, I had chicken pox at the time, about babies DYING from the chicken pox. it had a rubber ducky crying and everything. I swear, every time I changed the channel, it was on
You need to react to UK Public Information films from the 70s & 80s like The Finishing Line 1977, Apaches 1977, Robbie 1979, Play Safe 1978, Powerful Stuff 1988 Building Sites Bite, The Spirit Of Dark And Lonely Water 1973
The ladt one reminded me of the Back-to-school PSA form 2020
😂😂 she said "omggg...I looove snickers!" Poor Jaxon didnt know what to say!
(Well! THAT just ruined Baby Soft for me....and I used to love it lol!)
💜🖤💜
(😒 and now I feel horrible for laughing at yall during the Irish commercial lol!)
I really like those animated characters that are popping up on the screen, especially the cats!
There are a lot of cat characters on popular anime tv series and films.
