Thank God in the UK we are more grown up. The number of people (mainly Americans) saying how terrible and disgusting these type of adverts are, they would rather sweep issues under the carpet and pretend everything in the world is okay and fine. Somewhere in the UK over time each one of these ads saved at least one life, which is far more important than a few people having their sensibilities 'upset'. Perhaps if more people in the US were more mature like you Jayvee, an excellent and well balanced reaction.

It's NOT because of Political Corectness, it's because the public have changed. It's because the public are less tolerant. WE are to blame, we've made Britain a less tolerant place. I'm so tired of hearing people complaining about political correctness, when for one they have no idea what it means, and two, it's us that have changed. Do you think Channel Four wouldn't show a hard hitting ad, if an ad agency made one? Of course they would.

​@@philjones45 Are you OK mate? I feel like you've done a great job at showing how some are less tolerant, just on this video alone. Political correctness is a term used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offence or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society. In public discourse and the media, the term is generally used as a pejorative with an implication that these policies are excessive or unwarranted. As much as you may not like the phrase, it was used correctly. It may also be because the public has changed, but not offending or upsetting that changed and fragile public is still political correctness. All the TV channels want is for people to not turn over. The daytime ads are full of them because no other company or brand wants to buy the advertising space on that channel at that time of day. And there has actually been more money spent on public information propaganda by this government than literally any government before them. I guess we were tolerant enough to accept those happening on every commercial radio station around the country every 15 minutes, no matter how offensive or untrue they were. I'm glad you muzzled up like Drakeford ordered you to though.

@@philjones45 disagree. I have been fighting Political Correctness with those in Authority in my area, for the last three decades. It has replaced Common Sense in the mindsets of Decision Makers. It started small.. insisting women were ALL referred to as "Ms" (to avoid identifying spinster, divorced or married). I insisted on either being called "Mrs" (My correct title) or by my first name. I am called by my first name as they can't bring themselves to use "Mrs". Small issue, but shows the fear of using wrong terminology. We (Carers) were then told we couldn't use the term "handicapped". But must use "Disabled". Even pointing out "DISabled" meant "not working"/"unable" whilst "handicapped" had the more positive "a weight to be overcome" definition, they insisted on "unable to do" (Disabled), because SOMEONE wrongly assumed "Handicapped" meant "cap in hand". So, in Britain we use "DISabled" whilst other nations still use "handicapped". 🤔 Two examples of Decision Makers using PC to snuff sensible identifiers. There are thousands of scenarios where they FORCED their PC dogma for no reason than a Committee had decided a word/situation fails the "equalising/cause no offense/take no risk" box that has to be ticked. Over the past decade I have watched young people on Committees who have had Common Sense trained out of them in preference to the PC Dogma. They know nothing other than risk aversion (in not only dangerous scenarios, but in use of language). We used to use Common Sense in EVERY scenario. Now FEELINGS and RIGHTS are more important than safety. An example... Manager of my daughter's DISABLED Day Centre and myself, had to FIGHT his big bosses to allow us to put a tag on her to alert staff she had gone out the automatic doors and was making her way out to busy road. The Authority refused, three near accidents..because it was against her RIGHTS. Only the threat of Legal action if she was run over, (after we'd highlighted the risk) brought Common Sense ahead of Politically Correct "her Rights" argument, which disregarded the Common Sense "if she was run over, she'd have NO Rights" argument. That is how ingrained PC is in UK Society. They would risk a profoundly disabled person's life, rather than infringe her RIGHT to play with the traffic. Political Correctness should NEVER outweigh Common Sense, but it does, as each generation embraces it, believing it is King. We are training out Common Sense. Sometimes we need a shocking documentary or advert to wake us from our egocentric stupor. But how often is the final decision "we can't do X because it will offend/upset 0.3% of people"? And, PC is now being replaced by Woke. We are moving towards Orwell's "Thought Police" which only allows people to do, or say whatever the Dogma dictates. Oh, wait.. we ARE there. 😔 Political Correctness is a dangerous tool used to train us to not think for ourselves. (I'm the least "Conspiracy Theorist" you'd find, but COMMON SENSE tells me, we are less free thinking and have less Rights than we did thirty years ago).

Thanks for reviewing these. Your reaction and comments are great.

Can I ask the internet for help finding a British Advert from around 2000. It was one of the single greatest messages ever and it went something like this: Morning rush hour pedestrian traffic along what I assume was the Thames. Corporate businesses, everyone is in suits or drab work attire and everyone is sullen, its grey and rainy and all the people are in lockstep powerwalks, chin up, go to work, stay in your place and then it pans over to a little boy playing with a toy boat on the waterfront. The boat has floated a little too far out and the little boy is terribly upset. Among the 'drones' of adults in suits marching seriously on the sidewalk, a businessman spots the boy and the toy boat. He's not sure but suddenly a 'fck it!' look across his face and he stops (to the annoyance of other walkers) then gets off the sidewalk, removes his shoes and socks and pulls up his pant legs. The busy crowds of adults are cringing, others look at him like he's a madman, others frown harshly at him but he isn't bothered and then walks to the water where, at his adult height, he can wade out to knee level, rescues the boys boat, the little boy is absolutely thrilled at his hero and hugs his toy boat as the man walks back to his shoes and socks, puts them back on just fine but still is given all kinds of disapproving looks, stern looks, rolling eyes from others in their serious busy fast walks to work. The message or narration: "So, who's really the crazy one? Him? Or is he the sane one?" Something like that. Because i lived in London at that time, I can tell you that was EXACTLY bang-on how it was. You goddamn get your place in the crowd and you damn well move, move and if you so much as stop to take a picture you're a goddamn annoyance to society and have very much angered all the others who have places to go! It was pathological group hysteria, it was a mental illness of sorts and that advert was just golden, just exactly correct - the man who took off his shoes to get the kid's boat is the normal human. That's the actual normal sanity, how we are meant to be.

Sadly, our commercials are about “ buy” instead of “think”.

In Europe they don’t F around, it’s a good thing to make people uncomfortable and grab their attention to what’s important while in the USA it’s all about feeling good and pretending nothing bad ever happens.

What my mom heard one day sitting in her apartment, not only traumatized her, but said she would never forget. No this was not a public safety commercial, but real life. Two blocks away from her apartment, my mom heard a blood curdling scream, and this scream was so loud and so long that she didn't know if what she was hearing was truly real!! Apparently, a mother and her two small children were at a local older car wash, and the mom told her 4 yr old to keep an eye on her one yr old. While she was vaccuming out her car, she heard a train whistle, she looked up and in that moment she seen her one yr old right on the tracks. As she ran for her life to get her baby it was to late. 😭 That baby was hit head on! That's what my mom heard from two blocks away, the mother screaming and unable to stop what she couldn't change. It only took minutes for that baby to wander off. That car wash is no longer there!! Heart wrenching 😭.

myself and a bunch of my friends ride motorbikes and the saying is "it's not IF it's WHEN you crash" and you just have to hope it's not a bad one. My cousin had a bad one in 2020 and his rib punctured his heart and lungs but he had his last operation a couple of months back and is doing fine now.

Some of the Canadian workplace safety adverts are pretty hardcore, too

The ones in the 70s where like horror films, with kids climbing electric pylons and fireworks adverts, the voice overs where terrifying. Chuck in Jimmy Savile in between with British Rail too.

I Still hear Savile's voice, "Cluck Click Every Trip!" Whenever I get in the car, and put on my seatbelt.

We had PSA's in the US when I was growing up.

aww. you big softy. love it. I don't recall these ads. Good choices.

I love your videos, They show life how it is, in all, it's hardcore. I am Duch, (the Netherlands) and I will follow you on the foot. this is Europe. We also have so ore great things here in Europe , so I will love to see so much more of your very great interesting videos. Thank u so much Jayvee❤❤❤

Thank you for this. Truth is the only way. Ladling things as wonderful & candycoated places a fantasy on life. Truth matters...Period. When it is not offered things get hidden behind the proverbial curtain and quickly become a non-reality. Thank you, again.

They make you connect, feel, something I have noticed a lack of in the states is empathy. Children killing children adults demonising others. The horrendous judging...these adverts really connect you. I cried in all of them! X

PSA's cost money, they don't generate money, ergo no PSA's in the U.S.

I think first aid especially pediatric first aid should be mandatory to learn in anti natal classes for new parents and taught in high schools.. it would save so many people.

Amazing reaction my friend Jayvee!!...I have seen your reactions to Dimash, the best male singer of the world (In my personal opinion)...Now I want to invite you to meet, who is considered like The Fourth Element of All Time Vocal Trinity (with Whitney, Mariah and Celine) and one of the Best Female Singers of the World...The passion and dedication when Dimash is performing a song can only be compared with the person who has influenced him to sing leaving everything on stage: His idol, the queen, the incomparable, the Goddess: Lara Fabian...She is a lyric soprano with a amazing vocal range and incredible breath control...She speaks and composes in 5 languages and sings in more than 15 languages....That's why she is the inspiration for Dimash and several singers around the world...You can see covers of her songs on KZread made by singers of the stature of: Dimash, Diana Ankudinova, Polina Gagarina, Forestella, Julie Anne San Jose, Sissel Kyrkjebo, Floor Jansen, Diana Navarro, Giulia Falcone, Morissette Amon, Gabriel Henrique, Rimar, Katrina Velarde, Cakra Khan and others...Please react to her songs, all masterpieces, in LIVE versions, because Lara is more impressive when she sings live, so you can see why she is the idol of Dimash...Try to do it in this order and almost all songs are from the same Lara’s concert “From Lara With Love” in Montreal 1999, one of her best works: 1) Je Suis Malade (Singing in French)...2) Caruso (Singing in Italian)...3) Je T'AIME (2002 Live version in Paris Singing in French)...4) Perdere L'Amore (1999 Live version Singing in Italian)...5) Adagio (1999 Live version singing in english)...6) Broken Vow (1999 Live version singing in English)...7) You are Not From Here (1999 Live version singing in English)...8) Quédate (1999 Live version singing in Spanish)....9) Ti Amo Cosi (2019 Live version Singing a trío with Dimash and Aida Garifullina)....I hope to see you first reaction soon and if you don't mind, I'd like you to mention me as the person who recommended reacting to Lara...Here you have the link of her amazing performance of the song “Je Suis Malade”....kzread.info/dash/bejne/l3yH281tg6rapbw.html
