I love you

I was in a 1987 child abuse PSA. It was produced by WGBH and it aired during an episode of Nova. This is extremely unusual, because WGBH is a PBS affiliate, which doesn't air commercials. The PSA showed a young child crying (the toddler was played by me), then it cuts to a punching bag being hit, then it cuts back to an image of me with a bloody nose and a black eye, it ends with a black screen with the WGBH logo and the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families logo. There was a shorter version that ended after the punching bag scene, without the WGBH logo. I remember seeing it as late as 1996. I can't find a single mention of the PSA anywhere. Edit: From reports in the replies, it seems to have aired all around the east coast. Edit 2: I think I have a lead, I was looking at the Paley Center For Media's archive, they have a full, uncut version of "NOVA: Why do Planes Crash?". This episode aired on February 2nd, 1987, which lines up perfectly with the time that the PSA began airing! I'm going to go to NYC when I get the time, so this search might be over after 20 years of searching! Edit 3: PCM only archives the episodes without any bumpers/PSAs. That's it, I give up. you can stop replying now. It'll just have to stay lost forever. Edit 4: The final airing was on October 7, 1996. Specifically during the premier of "Arthur".

I remember watching the Que Sera Sera AD in a PSA compilation a very VERY long time ago on KZread (2014? maybe before then). It may have been the missing ad but if the "creepy" version of the song was used, it was not. It was the Doris Day song. The girl was not just picking daisies but she was twirling, running, and laughing in the field (through to pre-teen age). Then it didn't just cut to pictures of the woman but her walking through the street and passing out. It faded to black and showed the images. It was a message against drug use. Is this the same PSA or another one? edit: forgot to mention, I remember it was the Doris Day version very well because it scared me so badly whenever I would hear the song (because my grandma liked it) I would get scared and almost cry.

hey do you know which song Jorge used on this part of the video? I loved it

i think the reason the peewee herman psa (and others like it) is so unsettling is perhaps because of how unnatural it is to see such an iconic character all of a sudden serious and talking about subject matter completely different from the show. it’s just such a strange full 180 from this over-the-top character to one that is eerily realistic and stern. that’s probably why they chose him- it would affect kids more to see peewee herman say it rather than some random actor they’ve never heard of, a former drug addict, a scientist/doctor, etc. anyway great video! a part two would be cool as well

I also think it has to do with how TV was back then, you know how you could hear the static sound or whatever you call it, the quality of the sound and how the colors sometimes were fainter... Let's not forget some people also watched these ads when they were young and at night which makes them even more eerie, to top it all these ads were about sensitive topics and have the possibility of being as dark as people claim, somehow watching TV in the old days has a different effect than today.

I have nowhere else to post this where you can find it, but I have a theory about the Que Sera Sera ad. I think it is misremembered, since the description of a person playing in a field with the Pink Martini version of Que Sera Sera playing in the background matches pretty closely with a teaser for the second season of American Horror Story (link - kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYF7j9mYYrnTqbA.html, it should lead you directly to the part with the teaser in question, but if not skip to 4:26 in that video.) The old footage aspect of it is explained since the season is set in the 1960s. My theory is maybe it's a memory mixup of that teaser with a drug addiction PSA. The only thing that really busts the theory is that the teaser was released around 2011, meaning it doesn't fit the timeframe of the described PSA.

The que sera sera lady pictures came from a 2004 drug awareness program out of Multnomah County Oregon called “Faces of Meth”. She had the most striking mugshots and arrests in the system when the program began. I believe there were seven mugshots starting in 1980, and ending in 1989. Her progression into destruction was remarkable over the course of only 9 years. The first picture 7:01 she was only 28. The last picture, (not shown in the que sera sera commercial probably because it was too scary), she was only 37. She died at 38 and looks 70. I unfortunately, can’t find a single article with her name but there are plenty of web pages with her pictures when you search for “Faces of Meth” and go to images.

The child abuse remind me about those commercials about alcoholic parents and how kids see them as scary monsters. There was a child in a park looking over at their parent calling them to go home and then from the child's POV the parent is a grim reaper like hooded creature, another was getting his seatbelt put by his father but through the kid's eyes he is shown as a kidnapper with a plastic face mask on.

The "Key to Heaven" PSA sounds a lot like an advert I saw once. I think it was called Fragile Childhood-Monsters or something like that. It featured shots of kids looking really uncomfortable and scared, like one holding a womans hand and walking down the street but the mother was out of frame. Eventually the camera switches to show the adult that the children are afraid of and the adults seem like monsters. Grotesque and disfigured, like one having a giant rabbit head. Only difference was, it was a PSA for something like alcohol use and how children see us when we drink

Hate hurts you sounds like a genuinely really good ad. It communicates how bigotry comes from people who are deeply damaged.

I think so too! I saw some users on Reddit saying it had too many differences, like the monster was not the mother. But the child was asking about their mom in the video, and I think that's where the confusion came from. Everything else lines up too well.

I know that the Pink Martini version of Que Sera Sera is used in the early 2000s tv show Dead Like Me. It might even originate from there, as the scene where it starts playing involves a little girl in the woods - the main character is a Grim Reaper who was supposed to reap her and is reluctant to because the girl is a child. She then reaps her and the music begins. Another element of the PSA that might have been misremembered from the show is that the main character has two different faces. One of them is her real face - blond, young, and pretty. The other is the sort of glamor that people see her as since she is a walking dead person - that face is a strung out vagrant that only sorta looks like the real her.

It always makes it a better day whenever BlameItOnJorge uploads a new Lost Media video to KZread.

I think this video would be a good place to share my own "lost" PSA: It starts with a group of teenagers hanging out at night, and one boy walks away to smoke a cigarette. He walks over to a pool to find a girl with black hair and heavy eyeliner swimming alone. I think she was supposed to look "dead" or like a zombie, but to me, she just looked like a typical goth girl. She looks up at him and says, "Come on in. The water's just fine." and the guy is kinda freaked out. I believe there was a short and long version, with what I just described being the short version. It was a little creepy to me as a child, but more confusing, because I was never sure what the PSA was about. There was no voice-over or message at the end of the commercial. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with teenagers smoking and drinking. It aired in the early-mid 2000s. I don't know how difficult it would be to find the video, but it's something that crossed my mind while watching this.

I'm not certain about that, though. My memory is slowly coming back to me, and I might have made a mistake. Instead of going to smoke, the guy got a text asking him to come to the pool. When he went over, it turned out to be the girl asking him to join her. I do remember all of the teenagers having alcohol at their "gathering", and I'm guessing this was an underage drinking PSA rather than an anti-smoking PSA.

Now this one I can remember. Not well. But I remember seeing a commercial like this one and it kinda stuck with me because I couldn’t swim so if I fell into a pool like that I would simply drown

I remember watching a PSA in my early years of secondary school. It was about a boy staring into the camera sitting in his room as he told you the story of how he drowned. Slowly the room fills with water and once he finished telling his story he floated up out of his chair, dead. Now I was already terrified of open water at this point but this solidified it for me. Job well done I guess? We’d had a few kids drown in a nearby canal beforehand, one boy jumped into the water to save two little girls who couldn't get out. They got out, he didn't. I didn't know him, but a lot of people in my year did. It hit hard.

I think the creepiest PSAs are safety ones because they always show super graphic stuff for the express purpose of scaring people

The PSA I remember as a kid is of a woman getting locked out of her car on some train tracks, with her daughter still in the car...while a train is coming toward them. It was in black and white and came out around the late '90s. I'm almost 30 and it has haunted me ever since.

The "Key to Heaven" bit reminds me of that Finnish PSA where kids are walking around with their "parents" who are really, really creepy dolls and figuresvand is supposedly about how alcohol abuse by parents can wreak havoc on the childhood of children. Also that final message is pretty similar to a lot of NSPCC adverts against child abuse in the UK.

You sure found a lot of lost psa's Jorge. It makes me think of a commercial I once saw on Comedy Central as a kid (I'm not sure if it was a psa btw), which featured 3 teenage girls at a slumber party. One girl introduces a new skin moisturizer cream she claims was made by rainforest flowers. The girls put the cream on their faces, and another girl starts complaining that the cream is burning her skin. The other 2 girls laugh it off thinking the sensation will go away, but the girl's agony worsens, and then she falls to the floor, and combusts into flames, leaving the other girls horrified. Does that commercial sound familiar to anyone here? If Jorge or anyone can find it, that'd be great.

A billion people have probably pointed this out already, but the "Key to heaven" PSA sounds beat for beat like a short posted here on youtube called "Number to heaven", created by Jason Eisener (yes, the same man behind the movie "Hobo with a Shotgun"). In the short we see a big monster with a deep voice on a rowing boat with a small boy. They are father and son, and they talk about how much they miss mom (which might have confused that reddit poster, making them think the creature was the kid's mom instead of the father). They hug it out, when the boy asks if they could call her, to which the father replies "Do you know the number to heaven?", and proceeds to dumb a cinder block that is tied to the boy's neck into the water, sending him plumeting into the bottom of the lake. Of course, it's not a PSA, just a wacky spooky short movie, but again, in a lot of these lost media cases people seem to misremember some details. Maybe that fella's brain filled in the blanks of this bizarre little video into thinking it was a PSA about child abuse, or maybe they saw a reupload. The original however was posted 13 years ago, so I think the time frame matches. No one in that thread seems to have mentioned this video in question, so there's no confirmation if this is indeed the video in question or if whatever they saw is just very similar.

I remember the lady in the thumbnail photo in a PSA for the Southern Oregon Meth Project, a campaign against meth abuse in Southern Oregon. It would show a Timelapse of the woman and her mugshots and she would slowly get more and more horrid looking over time, while horrible overwhelming horror movie type music would play as she got worse and worse. My younger sister would call her the “Meth Lady” and have a panic attack when the PSA would play on our tv, and we’d have to change the channel because she would be so terrified. I still to this day cannot find that old PSA anywhere

I remember when i was in high school, we were learning about the red war, and during that, we got to watch PSAs from that era about how to be safe during a nuclear fallout from different countries. Since we know that nuclear radiation is a thing, seeing those PSAs just say to stay low and in place is a bit chillin, since we know so much more on the devistation those explosions would do. One especially was a PSA where a lil girl was picking flowers in a field, singing to herself, when a soft whistle slowly becomes louder over her own voice, till in becomes near-deafening, then it cuts to a mushroom cloud explosion, with text reading “do you know what to do when you hear the whistle?” It was something like that, and it stuck with me for a bit with how well done it was made for it’s time. Those PSAs are somethin else.

I’m 99% sure you mixed up memories and are thinking it was on the DVD when it was likely on another one. If it’s a camel that turns into a man with cancer, it was a play on Joe the Camel who was the mascot for Camel cigarettes until 1997. I remember loving his design as a kid. So I totally think you saw a PSA like this, and honestly the timing works. I believe it was around 2008 (when Madagascar 2 came out) when tobacco companies had to chip in to fund no smoking PSAs. And PSAs don’t hold back. I’ve seen ones where they show an employee dumping hot oil on themselves by accident. I just don’t think it could’ve been included on the DVD. That’s more graphic than the movie and the DVD can’t be rated PG if there’s PG-13 or higher features on there. What’s more likely is it was a recording you watched that had that PSA on it, or you were up late and accidentally saw the PSA on TV but mentally blamed the DVD, or… I’m not sure. I’d just be amazed if it was truly on a copy of the legit DVD.

Update on Hate Hurts You: the full version has been found and is on youtube

I'm fairly certain the Que Sera Sera "PSA ad" you're looking for was from a TV trailer for a documentary show about women's prisons because I remember seeing one which perfectly matches the description for such a show on the National Geographic channel back in 2010 where it shows the girl in the field and right after the line "Will I be pretty, will I be rich? And here's what she said to me" it abruptly cuts to a mugshot before the name of the show is read out (which I unfortunately don't remember).

"Hate hurts you" is now found

I remember the "shabu" PSA. I think the title of it is "ASIDO" which means acid and was aired by a group called "citizen's drug watch" with a logo of an eye (like illuminati). The recreation doesn't look like that. It is an actual styrofoam or paper humanoid and someone pours actual acid on it. It is aired alongside another PSA about trash. A person throws trash at the river and then one day when he opened his door, tons of trash came in. Aired at the same station IBC-13.

Have we ever seen Jorge's face before? It surprised me when he popped up during the sponser

I was so surprised to see Hate Hurts You in this video, my mom remembers it quite vividly from her childhood but we were only able to find the 10-second version, so we didn't know there was a longer version and chalked it up to misremembering. Both of us would love to see the original PSA found.

I have one for you. In the NYC viewing area, around early to mid 1970’s, an anti-drug PSA ran that was frightening as all get out. Two people are holding up a third person between them. They are attempting to get this person to move and walk. They are in a run down NYC tenement building. They are attempting to revive a buddy who has obviously overdosed. There was no music. There was panic in their voices, and it looked like the real deal. I can’t remember what the announcement said, but it was so startling, I was frozen looking at the screen watching it. I doubt I was older than 6 or 7 when I saw it one afternoon, but I swore I would never, never use drugs after seeing it. Never have.

People hunted down this game for what felt like years, and it turned out to have never existed.

As a kid growing up in the 80’s, I don’t remember seeing even ONE PSA warning kids to be kind to animals. SHAMEFUL!….. the biggest scars of my childhood that play over and over are seeing bullies, torture/kill animals in front of my eyes helplessly and not doing anything about it and wishing I HAD done something about it. And the thing that makes me cry about that is if I experience that that I know other people experienced it to. All I ever heard about was drugs, drugs, this drugs that don’t do drugs just say no blah blah, blah, blah blah“ I’m not afraid of drugs. I’m afraid of people. I always hate when people say “well people that hurt animals are known to go on to kill people”As if hurting and killing,the animal isn’t bad enough. That being said? It would’ve been a great thing to say on a PSA like “if I hurt an animal will I go on to be a serial killer?“ 😮

Of the earliest PSAs I remember, and one of the only ones come to think of it, was one for parents more than kids. It was a reminder to keep an eye on your kids, it would show a first person perspective of someone stalking a child in their yard before they come up and kidnap them. It would cut to some phrase like 'Do you know where your child is?' Or 'Do you know who is watching your kids when you are away?' Or something to that effect. I remember me asking my mom if the babysitter was playing a game, not understanding the implication of the PSA.

I remember some freaky seatbelt commercial here in Canada from the 70s. It was wickedly gruesome, I remember an actual photo of someone with glass in their face from the windshield. It wasn't on often thankfully. Identikit images from back then used to freak me out big time too.

There was a PSA I saw as a kid that always haunted me from my childhood, about a bunch of teens jumping off a bridge at a park to go swimming. They kinda of went splat and drowned anyway. Aired in the Louisville, KY area in the late 70s/ early 80s.

I'm not sure if this counts as a PSA but, I remember seeing a commercial on PBS Kids when I was young about a car heat warning (I'm not sure what to call it) From what I can remember, it started with showing a dog and then a woman started speaking saying something like "leaving your pet in a car on a hot day is the same as puting your pet in an oven" (Probably not that line but something similar to that) Then it started to zoom out showing the dog inside of an oven. What I do remember is my grandma had to explain it to me since I didn't understand what was happening. (Ironically it played before an episode of Clifford the big red dog)

For the Key to Heaven one, I think it's part of a series called Parents are Monsters or Parents as Monsters. It was an anti alcoholism PSA about how do your kids see you when you've been drinking. CNN did a short blurb on one of the ads from the series, the one CNN showed might incl snippets from the second comment about the bus station but I think it's mostly kids at a park and one being picked up from school.

OMG so happy you are talking about Hate Hurts You, finally!! I remember this commercial too, I did not dream it!

There was an old defunct channel in the Philippines called RPN. Many 90s kids like me know it as the home of Price Is Right, Family Feud, and Wheel of Fortune on TV-- but it also has a particularly startling non-commercial bumper that played between shows: it's a close up of a statue of The Virgin Mary, while music and a voice over says "Please pray the rosary" I'm sure religious adults liked it, but it would creep me out especially if it was late at night. (The Philippines is a highly Catholic country) I also mention this because I remember RPN having a Fireworks Safety PSA that was just a video of a dark alleyway with pained screams as the voice over, and the tagline was something like "Don't get visited by the Ghost of New Year's Past" and it was about not causing people harm on New Years with unsafe fireworks use. This would've been early 2000s, and aired at night, around the time of Price is Right.

That was ABC-5, not RPN-9.

I feel like most people's Manscaped ads are super gimmicky and loud but I like that yours is super chill and to the point haha

Guy from the Lost Commercials Foundation is a legend. Dude went and made a psa about a psa lol

Oh damn this unlocked some memories for me; for the child abuse PSA one I vaguely remember something similar, where it was a kid with his dad but he looked like a big cartoonish monster/demon thing. I don't remember too many details but I remember the kid like getting thrown against a wall or something, before it cuts to the dad just looking like a normal guy instead of the cartoonish monster. I don't remember specific text but that one that said something like "If they don't have a voice, speak for them" thing really rang some bells so that might have been a part of it at the end

If you're in the UK there's a similar ad from the NSPCC, but the cartoon is the boy who's being abused by his father with canned laughter in the back before ending with a shot of an actual boy lying on the bottom of a staircase. The last text is similar to how you remember it, it said "if you think a child is being abused, do something".

There's a lost Portuguese PSA from the TV tropes nightmare fuel called "And she lost hope". The description was so graphic and disturbing but it's sparked a morbid curiosity to see it. I'd like to know more about lost PSAs and PIFs

Oh I saw that one. It was the same thing you'd see in a murder mystery series. Pale body on either the autopsy table or in one of those refrigerator drawers, the description made it seem like the face was unrecognizable but from what I remember it was cuts and bruises. Stuff the special effects department can apply on an actor easily. I only remembered it because it was a play on the saying "hope dies last" and the translation for the ad means "hope only died after she did" in English. Yeah it's direct and to the point but not that high on the visual gore scale.

awesome to see so many people talking about watching you when they were younger, literally 5th grade for me it’s great to see you’re still so relevant

I figured I would share my own lost PSA. This one isn’t as scary as the ones mentioned, but it is still lost as I can never find it at all. So there’s a bunch of kids in a cafeteria, eating lunch. This girl goes to sit with her friends and is holding a brown bag, presumably her lunch. She sits down, dumps whatever was in her bag…and what comes out freaks her out so much that she starts screaming. Everyone else starts screaming too upon seeing what came out and all the students make a run from it. A teacher then walks up to the table where the girl was sitting and sees what scared everyone else-an apple. Apparently the message was that “it won’t kill you” or something along the lines of that. (What’s worth noting too is that same company that made that PSA made another one but with the same message but much shorter, iirc it was just a boy hiding from a basketball)

Hey! I’ve been watching you’re videos since I was 8 with my cousins. I come back to your channel here and there and I just wanna say that I really appreciate your videos. You are the main reason how I got into lost media, and other cool topics that you cover. Can’t wait to see more from you❤

Que Sera Sera is an amalgamation of two different PSA, which I remember seeing. One was a pro nuclear disarmament one that had been reused consistently, as you can see her looking up at the bomb which had a fade out to white. My guess is that as a kid, the PSAs were lumped together, so the quick transition to the anti meth one from like 2003-2005 or later seemed like it was part of it.

I'm surprised that you talked about two Filipino PSAs, I do recollect something about the doomsday PSA, it was around May 2011 or 2012, the only thing I can remember part of is this quote "The world will end". That spooked me when that was said on TV as a PSA for Judgement Day.

I know this isn’t a PSA but I want to talk about it regardless. Around the early-to-mid 90s there was a commercial about a chiromancy, or palm reading, book in Peru, South America. Testimonies describe it as having eerie audiovisuals, with the head of a mannequin with bulging eyes and a wide, creepy smile scaring young viewers the most. There are reportedly multiple versions of the commercial, all of them being lost to this day. If anybody has more details they could share, it’d be welcome

Your videos are so good! I can watch them over and over and not get bored. Thank you for all that you do and the amount of research that you put into each video is amazing! ❤❤

I have such a morbid fascination with how our reality is used to instill the serious nature of certain aspects - such as with PSA’s, it’s insanely cool to see history behind them as well as finding lost media. Not to mention it’s also extremely saddening to know that, well, it had to exist for a PSA to be made about it. :((

As a Pink Martini fan, if we really think it's them, we should reach out and see if they know! Super cool group, probably would be more than happy to respond. If not, Ari Shapiro has been kind of part of Pink Martini for a long time. He's a journalist who you might have heard of if you've listened to NPR. I can imagine that he'd be interested in joining in the search or might know who to contact.
