Answer for question 4216.

[Error: unknown template qotd]What is this "advertisement on TV" thing of which you speak? I never see them. That's why God invented piracy.

The commercial that has stuck with me the most is the "I can put my arm back on, you can't" safety PSA that traumatized an entire generation with the important message that you should not perform gymnastics in a saw factory.

I'm not sure I've ever seen that arm-back-on PSA before. Thanks for making my life whole.

Have you seen it now?

What is this arms back on thing of which you speak. Where is the link to youtube?

It's so weird when I'm at someone's house and they have the tv on and there are loud obnoxious ads.

These days I only see ads when people link to them on youtube, like this one from New Zealand:

That is an amazing commercial.

Here is Astar. Nightmare fuel forever.


Another classic Canadian PSA (which is not scary, but is a terrible earworm):


Lest one worry that Canadians have stopped making fucked-up PSAs, here is Eggs on Weed:

When you're an egg, you're 100 times more likely to be picked up by a literal Deus ex Machina and thrown against something.

The arm robot is kinda cute.
