Unintentionally hilarious Canadian PSAs.

Just... Just watch.

I thought that first one was just pretty disturbing, which I guess was the intent. Anyway, the f bomb is allowed in Canadian commercials? I thought they censored their television even more than the U.S.StopThePresses

That isn't hilarious. And many of the comments are extremely disturbing, even if they're "jokes."

Sometimes. You always expect to be pleasantly surprised, and you always come away bitterly disappointed. Whenever anyone asks why we have to have mods here, I just direct them to Exhibit A - Youtube comments.

Quite disturbing and scary actually.

Looks like Quentin Tarantino directed those

I'm surprised how brutal Canadian PSAs and commercials can be. Remember those accident prevention commercials from a few years back?

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="FrostyPhantasm"] Canada is WAAAY less conservative on stuff like that. All the provinces i've been to don't have an "R" rating for movies, although i think there is higher, 18-A is the highest i've ever seen, which means as long as you have a parent with you, you're allowed in. Also on the Canadian Comedy Network, Southpark is 100% uncensored. FrostyPhantasm

To elaborate, 18-A allows for anyone under 18 to be accompanied by anyone 18 and over, not just parents. Rated R just means no one under 18 can get in. Period. I worked at an AMC when this change came into effect and the only movies I remember getting an R rating were Kill Bill Vol 2 and Sin City, other than that an R rating is hard to come by.

the first one was funny, the 2nd one was just meh.

What exactly is funny about them? A woman being beaten? I don't find that funny.

The people who find them funny are the people that go to horror movies like Saw and laugh out loud when people fall in pits of needles (such as myself). It's the same thing really, different moral behind it all, but it's still a laugh at fake other peoples expenses.FrostyPhantasm

Wait...what? :|

[QUOTE="FrostyPhantasm"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Our cable is uncensored....just the channels over the air that are. And R means 17 needs a parent. 18 needs a parent?Large_Soda

HAHAHA I thought it was funny :lol: I know Im going to get modded becuz of my unpopular opinion :| :x

They aren't funny, but I think outing the people who find them funny is kind of telling.DJ_Lae

My apologies, I made the wild assumption that the original videos were infact THESE set of videos. The OP's set is not all that funny. However I have no shame in finding humour in the set i posted >_>

Edit: Seeing these on tv really catches you offgaurd, i've seen a different abuse one except a guy is yelling at a woman working at a mc donalds.

HAHAHA that first one was HILARIOUS! "You ******* *****, you SPILLED MAH CAWFEH!

gross, melodramatic exagerations via reenactments are pretty funny imo. I mean, c'mon, we all laughed at Nic Cage yelling "The bees! Oh God the beeeeees!" in the Wicker Man, didnt we?

That is why I laugh at that

the truth is, something like that in real life would be far more terrifying, and people would not laugh.

knowing what we just watched, however, is an act makes it funny.

[QUOTE="FrostyPhantasm"] Nah. 18-A means if you are 18 and over you do not need a parent or guardian, however if you are any age under 18 as long as you have a parent you can get in. You'll see the occasional 8 year old in horror movies and such.LJS9502_basic

If you're 17 and its rated R you can get in by yourself. You don't need a parent at 17.

That was pretty hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing at the last one though.

Our countries are so different. :P

Geese. I'm surprised how many people are so serious about those PSA's. They are ridiculous. I mean the staple throw at the end of the second one. It's like a goofy over the top comedy script.

If I want a PSA to creep me out and actually not be in an unreal scenario I'd watch these two that are much more creepy than a "how dare you correct me about some silly sales percentage now I'm gonna pull my WWF moves on you in public har har"
