We had a teacher who was supposed to do the whole stranger danger thing, and instead she just coldly told the class "there are people who want to kidnap children and they use tricks to lure kids like you away from others. Many times those kids are never found. Don't go go with anyone you don't know". And damn that stuck with me and the entire class far more than "Capricorn the fugly alien wants to tell you to say no to free video games". Like what
My middle school teacher said a similar thing- she even emphasized that hitting, kicking, scratching and biting was the best way to get someone to let go of you.
My kindergarten teacher did something similar, and her message is still in my mind 17 years later. She even went as far as to say you shouldn’t take candy from strangers because the candy could make you sleepy and thus make it easier for someone to take you away.
one of my earliest memories is my parents telling me if someone tried something press my thumbs into their eyes.. brutal but deserved for those kinds of people. having almost been trafficked before, fight. even if your to scared to put up much of a fight any at all helps they use fear to make it look like nothings happening, if they have a reason to fear they might be caught theyll likely give up, and report it, anonymously if thats more comfortable, at the time in the mental state i was in i barely managed to put up any fight but it saved me
I just feel the need to remind everyone that 95% of child sexual assaults are perpetrated by family members or other authority figures that the child knows and spends a lot of time with. And that fact deserves a lot more attention.

I cannot take the phrase "STREET SMARTS!" seriously anymore. It sends me down a rabbit hole of thoughts about secondary locations and throwing kidnappers off their rhythm.
My family had those alien videos on VHS. All i remember was being like "yeah, of course people want to kidnap him, hes an alien, theyre probably from the government".

I like how the advice is "trust your gut" and then it immediately demonstrates how that only works if the kid has good instincts.

Once when i was on a field trip with my class and we were walking in a line allong a street, an old lady we walked past looked at my group and said "oh, where are you kids going today?" and i said the english equivalent of "Shut up you old hag" because she was a stranger making inqueries to us kids. The expression on her face after hearing that from a 10-year old is still crystal clear in my memory to this day, i am not even sure i regret getting such a unique reaction at that age
So the hero trap happened to me, but I was 19. Woman approached me in walmart and said she was a Mary Kay rep and wanted some head shots for her catalog. "I always have some kits with me and if you come out to my car, I'd love to take some pics." Legit had class in an hour so I said no. I wasn't aware of the human trafficking aspect of it but as I got older I thought about and realized how fast young women could just disappear
As a kid, I always thought the whole "Don't talk to strangers" thing they tried teaching was ridiculous, because everybody's a stranger at first. Your own mother is a stranger when she gives birth to you, because technically you don't know her yet. They really could've used a bit less of an extreme take of "never talk to someone you don't know ever" because kids like me immediately write off your statement as garbage.
I was almost kidnapped as a kid. The story goes as follows: I was next to a playground and was walking around with my dad and my sister. Suddenly, this black Minivan with borderline illegally tinted windows pulls up right in front of us. The door opens and someone tosses out a colorful ball. I, being the saint I was, ran over to pick up the ball and give it back as I assumed it fell out. I didn’t know it then but these people were dropping it as a lure so they could grab me and book it. Luckily, my dad was faster than I was and reached the van before anything could happen. It must have been quite awkward for the would-be kidnappers knowing damn well their plan was foiled, but having to patiently wait until I hand them the ball with my dad staring daggers at them to leave.
@@johnanon658 Trust me, my dad almost didn’t. But I think he might have called the police and given them their license plate, idk I’ll need to ask him.
it’s kind of a victim-blaming attitude to some degree as a campaign. You do have to teach kids street smarts. Women like myself also learn specific street smarts. but if you are a child in particular, you really dont have a lot of power in the situation and most of the time you as the victim could not really have prevented it. Society as a whole has to take more responsibility for things like listening to kids when they say they are being abused at home and actually following through on stopping that abuse. Learning street smarts is essential and vital, but so is being realistic about how adults have to step up.
The anti-bullying video demonstrating physical resistance is actually pretty impressive. Most of the anti-bullying videos I saw as a kid were just "tell an adult" and "use your words to talk the bully down" Geez, his name is Corny for a reason...
I love that the actor playing Capricorn, Richard Horvitz, also provides the voices for: Zim from Invader Zim, Billy from Billy & Mandy, Daggett from Angry Beavers, and Razputin from Pschonauts 😅
I have had disturbing images from this show in my memory for the longest time with no idea where they came from. i just had vague memories of an eggheaded old guy with a teleporting watch. I thought it might've been a nightmare, but now i just learned that these distorted memories had a real origin.
Throughout the 90's violent crimes and murders were usually going down, yet they were being featured more and more on nightly news. The frequent news of violence gives people the feeling that violence and danger is everywhere all the time, even if they haven't seen it.
lol the logic i try to put to it is that corny is an alien and so several people come to that town just to see corny or steal him,, cause y'know its a fuckin alien and it seems like hes the only alien or at least one of very few
I gotta give them credit though, they included attractive women in their roster of probable sexual offenders instead of exclusively skeevy men. Good on them, +1 inclusion.
Slightly attractive. Not my personal preferences but I don't really care what a woman looks like if she's a good person. Still, yeah, women are also guilty of trying to exploit children. Not just children, 4 women actually tried to (r word) me at my job 14 years ago as there were no Male employees but 1, & he was off that day. I was much stronger back then so I could lift them off me, but it became tiring especially since 1 was at least 300lbs. However, my friend, the 1 other guy just strolled in that day to pick up something & helped me. He was a little stronger than me so he could help get the heavy 1 off while I got the others off me & then we just ran. Stupid women didn't seem to care there were cameras watching that the boss would see the next day after I called him that night to tell him. My boss knew me well & respected me so he believed it, but said we'd need evidence before anything could be done. Glad they were too dumb to attack me in a place where they couldn't be seen on the cameras as there were some places out of site, where if I had any control over I'd have had 2 more cams put up to keep those areas safe. Most men won't admit being abused or worse by women as it nearly always turns into other men going "HAHA a woman did that to you & you didn't like it? Pathetic!" I never cared what people thought of me after age 16 or so, so I just admitted it & they got in trouble, hopefully never working with any men again. Besides, working with the other gender can lead to distractions & temptation (or same gender if you're like that). Fortunately, ever since about age 23 I haven't had much of a sex drive & the whole checking women out when they walk by is a foreign concept to me, like dipping a banana in ketchup. I do still like women & find no attraction to men, do that's not it, rather adiseasee I have has effects that (not ED) cause loss of libido. I don't mind & don't want to get that treated for now, but if I marry then I'll look to have it treated. I'm 31 in July so that's a little past normal age for marriage, especially since my parents & grandparents each married in their teens (grandpa on dad's side married at 18 & my grandma at the time was... technically a teen, I guess laws were different then since the court still married them?).
Stranger danger actually did some harm in teaching kids, because in most cases the predator ends up being someone that the child knows. People painted the idea of a creepy stranger in a van but tend to neglect that you should use teach kids to use safe practices around adults they ‘know’
@@Stefanius058 I was a kid then. Not as paranoid as you’d think. See we were taught from elementary school the USSR was going to nuke us all at any moment all through the 80s so by the time Stranger Danger hit it was a relief. Those were adults we had a good chance against. Unlike all those Satanic cults sacrificing kids left and right according to the talk shows (also all BS). Of course Stranger Danger was a con job that protected the real predators because whenever kids came forward with stories about predator priests and preachers and teachers and cops they were always dismissed as liars because everyone (adults) knew only strangers hunted kids. It may not have started as a propaganda tool to protect child predators but they certainly used it to great advantage.
19:52 Here's the thing- The woods are not a place you get kidnapped FROM. It's a place you get kidnapped TO. My man fully enters the woods behind Corny, making sure no one is going to follow them. I guess what I'm trying to say is that something deeply traumatizing 100% happened to this alien & no one is going to believe him, because he keeps reliving the same day. This is haunting.
@dew drop and those Zarconians would probably tear humanity a new one once they find out how many creepy strangers their exchange student dealt with, at least I assume that's what would happen if this scenario happened.
@@isaaczerone That's a big part of the problem. People who wanna kidnap are typically smart about like the "your mom's been hurt and she wants me to take you to see her". That line would work on some adults who dont know their moms friends and are generally trusting. My brother has Aspergers along with some other stuff. He's 23 but he would definitely fall for that line.
That…Capricorn… is definitely from the sea monkeys live action Saturday morning show. And YES, everything. EVERY SINGLE THING about the show was creepy and disturbing as hell. Last episode I recall before it was canceled was where one got a literal fat head from compliments before his head nearly explodes
my mom was abducted along with my two aunts at a park in the 70"s (she was around 12), and a man chased after the abducter and saved her and my aunts life. thank you man i've never met that allowed me to be born
Looking back now as a kid who grew up in the 90’s, I find it kinda weird how many comedies and family movies had plots based around abduction, kidnapping, and/or hostage taking
20+ years ago both kids would ei either get detention or an in-school suspension Today both kids would be arrested and charged with some form of assault (unless they're both rich) Give it another few years and the kids'll be sent to juvie over a playground brawl
@@upyoursdotcom do you live in a small town? It's happening all over the country. It's part of the "new-and-improved" Zero Tolerance Policy in most schools. Also, I'm talking about high school students who are getting arrested, not elementary schoolers
we had a huge snow storm when i was in highschool and someone ran over the fire hydrant and caused the entire entrance to the school to be blocked off so people couldnt get in or out, and i was grounded that month and didnt have my phone, but my mom got one of the dads from the neighborhood with a truck to come pick up some of us to bring us back because they couldnt get in and i was called up to the office and he said my mom wanted me to go with him i refused adamantly for about 45 min and told the rest of the girls to not go and basically started a riot in the office with about 5 other girls until they called my mom for me she was mad at first that i caused a huge scene but later told me its better than randomly getting into a strangers car who i didnt know.
I remember my mom showing me this Winnie the Pooh live action thing about this exact topic, but it was from the 80’s about the time where Disney started making shows like that off their most profitable films.
Ok but can we take a minute to talk about how the “predators” kidnapped corny in a pickup truck like you didn’t have to use your zapper you could just stand up and hop out of the truck 😂
The most bizarre stranger danger video of them all features Winnie The Pooh. Never mind that forest creatures don't have to worry about strangers. It morphs into an uncomfortable lesson about sexual molestation and teaching kids to run and tell their parents if someone tries to touch them in a private place ,never considering the molester might be a family member
I love how it says "Bully Smarts- For Kids," implying that there's a "Bully Smarts- For Adults." Like an entire tape of just bullying in the workplace or something. Or like an R rated version of the video.
The closest you might have to that is How to Get Revenge, a dark comedy edutainment tape from like 1989. It has Linda Blair and it's so dated, but man, it's great if you want to laugh at corny acting and terrible people doing terrible things.
My dad never even let me on the street, & thus I never even had an encounter with a stranger. Dad always kept me in sight or next to him, & I was smart enough as a child to realize there are bad adults who would use things like candy or games to trick me & do whatever. So I never tried sneaking out when he was asleep or seeing my friends playing outside of their parent's sight & asking dad to let me do so too. I just figured they had crappy parents, & yeah, they did. One had a mom who just decided to leave her husband & child behind because she was bored... nice. Same happened to a girlfriend I had, but it was her dad leaving them behind. I was in a long distance relationship with her, but if I'd been close enough I'd have tracked him down & left him crippled permanently, also without the use of his crotch so he'd need a stoma (read up on that, not fun) & couldn't even find another woman.
I just remembered my mindset as a kid, I knew about kidnapping and that's why stranger danger was important but I didnt know about pedophilia and stuff so I didnt know why grown ups would want a kid. I assumed they just wanted another kid to have as their kid.
@unregisteredhypercam 12 that's exactly what happens but they also force them to dress as umpa lumpa's as it's well known all child abducters have a fetish to own an umpa lumpa
My mom told me that a stranger might steal me and I thought that all kidnappers would drive limousines so for the first 8 years in my life I had an irrational fear of limousines and rich people
In the UK we learned stranger danger from a cat that spoke bollocks! "Charlie says" "meowow wrow wrow" and how to cross the road with darth vader (green cross code guy)
Fun fact: Corny was played by Richard Horvitz; a voice actor you may recognize from Invader Zim, The Angry Beavers, Psychonauts, Destroy All Humans, etc. That guy gets around.
I've spent years trying to remember what this "movie" was. They showed it to us in daycare and it horrified all of us. Mind you we were ages three and four and WAY too young to watch this--not that even an adult should watch it...

Man in uniform: Be careful of men in uniforms.

So the hero trap happened to me, but I was 19. Woman approached me in walmart and said she was a Mary Kay rep and wanted some head shots for her catalog. "I always have some kits with me and if you come out to my car, I'd love to take some pics." Legit had class in an hour so I said no. I wasn't aware of the human trafficking aspect of it but as I got older I thought about and realized how fast young women could just disappear
Yeah, there are women that participate in ops to trap other women, or children. These are the most dangerous.
As a kid, I always thought the whole "Don't talk to strangers" thing they tried teaching was ridiculous, because everybody's a stranger at first. Your own mother is a stranger when she gives birth to you, because technically you don't know her yet.
They really could've used a bit less of an extreme take of "never talk to someone you don't know ever" because kids like me immediately write off your statement as garbage.
90s: don't get into cars with strangers and don't meet people from the internet.

Plot Twist: It was actually the government trying to capture Corny, to get access to his zapper technology.
I was almost kidnapped as a kid. The story goes as follows:
I was next to a playground and was walking around with my dad and my sister. Suddenly, this black Minivan with borderline illegally tinted windows pulls up right in front of us. The door opens and someone tosses out a colorful ball.
I, being the saint I was, ran over to pick up the ball and give it back as I assumed it fell out. I didn’t know it then but these people were dropping it as a lure so they could grab me and book it. Luckily, my dad was faster than I was and reached the van before anything could happen.
It must have been quite awkward for the would-be kidnappers knowing damn well their plan was foiled, but having to patiently wait until I hand them the ball with my dad staring daggers at them to leave.
If i was your dad, they would not have left the scebe
@@johnanon658 Trust me, my dad almost didn’t. But I think he might have called the police and given them their license plate, idk I’ll need to ask him.
"exchange student" does that mean there's a human kid alone on zarcon?
@Elizabeth Nesinov no, he's abducting them...
Perhaps
93% of child victims knew the predator. 34% are family members. Not really “stranger” danger.
Facts. Stranger Safer. 😂
it’s kind of a victim-blaming attitude to some degree as a campaign. You do have to teach kids street smarts. Women like myself also learn specific street smarts. but if you are a child in particular, you really dont have a lot of power in the situation and most of the time you as the victim could not really have prevented it. Society as a whole has to take more responsibility for things like listening to kids when they say they are being abused at home and actually following through on stopping that abuse. Learning street smarts is essential and vital, but so is being realistic about how adults have to step up.
@@KaelWrit preach

7% still matter too tho
The anti-bullying video demonstrating physical resistance is actually pretty impressive. Most of the anti-bullying videos I saw as a kid were just "tell an adult" and "use your words to talk the bully down"

😂😂😂
Throughout the 90's violent crimes and murders were usually going down, yet they were being featured more and more on nightly news. The frequent news of violence gives people the feeling that violence and danger is everywhere all the time, even if they haven't seen it.

“he just got abducted..isn’t that fun and wacky?!”😅
I wasn't expecting my takeaway from this video to be "Invader Zim's voice actor did a stranger danger video as an alien."
I gotta give them credit though, they included attractive women in their roster of probable sexual offenders instead of exclusively skeevy men. Good on them, +1 inclusion.
Slightly attractive. Not my personal preferences but I don't really care what a woman looks like if she's a good person.
Still, yeah, women are also guilty of trying to exploit children. Not just children, 4 women actually tried to (r word) me at my job 14 years ago as there were no Male employees but 1, & he was off that day. I was much stronger back then so I could lift them off me, but it became tiring especially since 1 was at least 300lbs. However, my friend, the 1 other guy just strolled in that day to pick up something & helped me. He was a little stronger than me so he could help get the heavy 1 off while I got the others off me & then we just ran. Stupid women didn't seem to care there were cameras watching that the boss would see the next day after I called him that night to tell him. My boss knew me well & respected me so he believed it, but said we'd need evidence before anything could be done. Glad they were too dumb to attack me in a place where they couldn't be seen on the cameras as there were some places out of site, where if I had any control over I'd have had 2 more cams put up to keep those areas safe.
Most men won't admit being abused or worse by women as it nearly always turns into other men going "HAHA a woman did that to you & you didn't like it? Pathetic!" I never cared what people thought of me after age 16 or so, so I just admitted it & they got in trouble, hopefully never working with any men again. Besides, working with the other gender can lead to distractions & temptation (or same gender if you're like that). Fortunately, ever since about age 23 I haven't had much of a sex drive & the whole checking women out when they walk by is a foreign concept to me, like dipping a banana in ketchup. I do still like women & find no attraction to men, do that's not it, rather adiseasee I have has effects that (not ED) cause loss of libido. I don't mind & don't want to get that treated for now, but if I marry then I'll look to have it treated. I'm 31 in July so that's a little past normal age for marriage, especially since my parents & grandparents each married in their teens (grandpa on dad's side married at 18 & my grandma at the time was... technically a teen, I guess laws were different then since the court still married them?).

@@OO-qr1ks My thoughts exactly! Sheiiiiiiit
Stranger danger actually did some harm in teaching kids, because in most cases the predator ends up being someone that the child knows. People painted the idea of a creepy stranger in a van but tend to neglect that you should use teach kids to use safe practices around adults they ‘know’
Almost like that was the entire fucking point or something
@@MrPiccoloku nowhere in the video does it show that you need to be concerned about adults you know. What are you talking about?
Imagine how over the top the message would have been though at those times. Kids would be paranoid 24/7.
Nowadays, it's youtubers and SJWs that are predators.
@@Stefanius058 I was a kid then. Not as paranoid as you’d think. See we were taught from elementary school the USSR was going to nuke us all at any moment all through the 80s so by the time Stranger Danger hit it was a relief. Those were adults we had a good chance against. Unlike all those Satanic cults sacrificing kids left and right according to the talk shows (also all BS).
Of course Stranger Danger was a con job that protected the real predators because whenever kids came forward with stories about predator priests and preachers and teachers and cops they were always dismissed as liars because everyone (adults) knew only strangers hunted kids. It may not have started as a propaganda tool to protect child predators but they certainly used it to great advantage.
19:52 Here's the thing- The woods are not a place you get kidnapped FROM. It's a place you get kidnapped TO. My man fully enters the woods behind Corny, making sure no one is going to follow them. I guess what I'm trying to say is that something deeply traumatizing 100% happened to this alien & no one is going to believe him, because he keeps reliving the same day. This is haunting.
I remember seeing the alien one in school and being absolutely mortified when he ate the goldfish.
i love the fact corny is a kid and he's like 7 ft., yet he cant get himself away from strangers with dem legs
it gets better. He's also Zim and really turned things on its head as the abductor.
I watched this in a rural town in Minnesota, and I remember being super uncomfortable by corny bc he was very obviously an adult lmfao
@dew drop and those Zarconians would probably tear humanity a new one once they find out how many creepy strangers their exchange student dealt with, at least I assume that's what would happen if this scenario happened.
@@misscaptainlily I'm convinced he's actually an old lady
If you listen closely you can hear that corny is voiced by Richard Horvitz
"Trust your gut feeling" doesn't work when you're a kid with intense anxiety lol.
for real though...
Or most kids. It takes years if at all to learn to trust your gut
And what if the kid doesn’t know any better and their gut feeling says to trust them?? Then what?!
@@isaaczerone That's a big part of the problem. People who wanna kidnap are typically smart about like the "your mom's been hurt and she wants me to take you to see her". That line would work on some adults who dont know their moms friends and are generally trusting. My brother has Aspergers along with some other stuff. He's 23 but he would definitely fall for that line.
BIG MOOD SIS!!
That…Capricorn… is definitely from the sea monkeys live action Saturday morning show. And YES, everything. EVERY SINGLE THING about the show was creepy and disturbing as hell.

My dad never even let me on the street, & thus I never even had an encounter with a stranger. Dad always kept me in sight or next to him, & I was smart enough as a child to realize there are bad adults who would use things like candy or games to trick me & do whatever. So I never tried sneaking out when he was asleep or seeing my friends playing outside of their parent's sight & asking dad to let me do so too. I just figured they had crappy parents, & yeah, they did. One had a mom who just decided to leave her husband & child behind because she was bored... nice. Same happened to a girlfriend I had, but it was her dad leaving them behind. I was in a long distance relationship with her, but if I'd been close enough I'd have tracked him down & left him crippled permanently, also without the use of his crotch so he'd need a stoma (read up on that, not fun) & couldn't even find another woman.
I just remembered my mindset as a kid, I knew about kidnapping and that's why stranger danger was important but I didnt know about pedophilia and stuff so I didnt know why grown ups would want a kid. I assumed they just wanted another kid to have as their kid.
