Bugs Bunny Burn Safety 80's PSA

[TheRoblet]

"I just wait for a child to grab my handle GAAHAHAH" PedoPot

[animehunter23]

I remember this, it for some reason came on during the breaks between bugs and tweety show that aired around 11:30am

[TaTgurl1003]

it seems like this should be for parents instead of kids so they know how to keep their kicthen safe for their kids

[franzchick66]

OMFG! I remember this! This is why I don't cook or have never boiled water. lol.

[GojiGuy]

AWW MAN NOSTALGIA

[cherryprincess5]

they must have played this for ages...because im 23 and i remember this PSA showing on TV as a kid.

[fbebeats]

I was disappointed to run to my kitchen and not find Bugs Bunny :(

[Xxharukapanda]

"I just wait for a child to grab my handle" PERV.

[Dewdaahman]

basically, the gov't thought it necessary to "educate" kids about kitchen safety.. hmmm, is this cartoon a message to all those kids watchin' it that are without parents to teach them about kitchen safety..? what if the gov't teaches somethin' that conflicts with what your parents taught you..? hmmmm.. we'll find out in 2011, won't we..

[hemanshera777]

aren't there two other Shriner's PSA's? one with Daffy? and one with Tweety?

[uofmrules1]

I remember the whole thing. It was a brother and sister wanting to make breakfast for their parents and realizing they couldn't because of all the bad stuff that could happen.

[Lowblockify]

REDDIT RUINED MY ANUS

[ceitiosaurus]

Yeah the pot really seemed like trouble until he turned his handle to the other side.

[rob42164]

when the fuck did we start need cartoons to tell us to use common sense

[gorf566]

lol at the pot saying " I just wait for a child to grab my handle"

[de132]

shriner's hospitals are a non-profit burn wards, mental hospitals & rehabilitation centers by the way

[Pin33]

A local independent station used to run "The Twilight Zone" on weekdays, and this PSA played constantly during the commercial breaks (along with an ad for Norris Injury Lawyers: "Attention, accident victims!!"). Funny, the things you remember...

[DMZ6KG]

Ok, kill all pots, NOW!

[bonzohart]

This is great! I miss Mel Blanc.

[dorourke105]

@bonzohart Me too.The 80's was like his final decade doing all the characters

[steventean]

is this the l8 80s?

[volkscom]

lol the pot should be a super villan!

[Bestclips00]

Front facing handles are a tip risk

[JoDa26]

I was about 10 when this came came out. To this day I cannot leave a cord hanging and I always turn the handles in!! I'm still kinda horrified watching this...

[Kartoonkid95]

These commercials allowed Mel Blanc use his array of voices in one show.

[fsae0607]

This PSA scared me as a child!!! Everytime I cook to this day I always think of that damn pot and turn the handle in. What does the "snake" cord say? "Especially if they grab hold of the ???" I could never figure it out.

[sillylily220]

grab hold and yank me

[JoDa26]

Especially if they grab hold and YANK ME!

[WhyAyeMann]

"the daanglin cord could be a disaaasstah!" I love that brooklyn/bronx mix.

[abnormouslobster]

that pot is terrifying!

[wildbaldmonkey]

Because I saw this ad I always put the handle in while cooking...it always scared the crap out of me if I didn't.

[HamatoKameko]

"By itself it's harmless."

When's the last time you had an iron pot dropped on your head, Bugs?

[frappermac]

harmless to toons that's it

[Pikachuiscool]

@HamatoKameko More likely, I'd say Bugs would drop the pot on Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam's head instead. ;)

[VideoVixen24]

@HamatoKameko

But it was a GLASS pot, lol

[VideoVixen24]

To this day, I still turn my pot handles in! I didn't realize why until I saw this commercial. There's a lot to be said for the power of the subliminal mind!

[FreeAsABreeze1]

@HamatoKameko A good few years. He's usually the one TO pop someone in the face with it.

[lizzielizzie]

"I just wait for a child to grab my handle and then...MUAHAHAHA!" Dood.

[suspekt29]

This PSA freaked me out as a child.

[EpcotFan]

OMG ME TOO!! LOL

[SkyfireTheFox]

I also remember similar PSAs with Daffy Duck and even Fred Flintsone.

I actually learned about preventing burns from this spot.

[Balajimes]

That boiling pan, Yeah... that's my reason for microwave meals.

[tpirman1982]

If Bugs Bunny mentioned blenders, toasters, electric mixers, or refrigerators, what kind of dangers would Bugs Bunny explain about those 4 things?

[immacoolkiddo]

the boiling water scares me

[cammy85]

Yeah, that was a little TOO effective!!

[jbTUBEny]

Am I the only one who notices a few pedophilia innuendos in this PSA? lol

[H4L0GaNGT4R]

just grab my handle

[tpirman1982]

Say, frappermac, do you by any chance have the PSA of Daffy Duck quizing 2 kids about fire safety, another PSA from the Shriners Hospitals? I vaguely remember that one.

[frappermac]

I remember that one! That was a good one! But sorry I don't have that one. I now wonder if anyone on here has it. Hmm.....

[copyright1982]

I remember that one! He was giving the kids a true or false test. I remember the little girl saying, "That's false--you should never hide under the bed" "What about the closet?" "That's a definite no-no, too, Daffy"

[MiyagiDoKarate]

Nice. I can't believe you remembered that.

[tpirman1982]

Well, let's hope that one comes up on YouTube someday 'cause I'd like to see that one again after seeing this kitchen safety clip.

[kenjm4eva]

@tpirman1982 thats a def no no too Daffy

[keybladeking12]

evil pot of water kills kids

[foxspyfox]

Wow, that dangling cord... Now I can see how ssssssssSNAKE-LIKE it can be!

[noqa]

LOL Nice one

[invisiblyinnocent]

lol Aladdin reference FTW!

[ermacpingpong101]

i love how they make the pot of hot water sceem so evil like the water was boiled to fuck you over

[dogdidit]

Ah, the 80's. When cookware was malevolent.

[AlanStoneFan]

lol i like this psa

[FoxyMamaRox]

o_o If there's talking pots waiting to burn me, you can bet I'll never go into the kitchen again.

[steel4eva]

the great Mel Blanc R.I.P.

[RetroGirl85]

omg that pot scared the crap out of me when i was a kid lol

[kelseyisherex]

that pot is scary.

[EdElricBoy]

why doesn't bugs talk about garbage disposals?

[tpirman1982]

Maybe 'cause they're out of reach of children? If they were, Bugs Bunny would probably say:

"Garbage disposals in your kitchen sink are very dangerous. They can cause serious cuts."

Garbage Disposal: [whirs like mad] Darn right! I just wait for a child to stick a hand down me and ... [evil laughter].

I bet that's what would be said if Bugs mentioned about Garbage Disposals.

[8x13Wolf]

Fuck, I'm eating off the floor from now on.

[tsfkarc]

fucking freemasons only build hospitals to rape the kids in their orgies

[lemonrind]

So the pot has hatched an elaborate plan to burn and disfigure small children? Why? Is he just some kind of psychopath? I'd like to know more about the pot's backstory and motivations.

[chrisz71]

@lemonrind I think he's a pedophile. How he said "I just wait for a child to grab my handle, hahahaha" is just plain creepy.

[TheProgNerd]

@lemonrind

I'm sure that he was abused himself. He's just repeating negative patterns of behaviour.

[InvaderZim897]

@lemonrind He wants revenge because a kid pooped in him.

[insaneado]

Just found the script and this is really watered down. Apparently there are two kids, tommy and beth who want to make breakfast for their mother. its about six pages long

[invisiblyinnocent]

would you mind telling me where i can find it and if theres an uncut version of it on the web? :)

[lemonrind]

@insaneado Why do you have the script?

[ChiTownfool]

You know it turns out bugs bunny was a racist and all this time he was teaching me stuff

[PrincessStingy]

hahahaha

crippled.

[EpcotFan]

omfg that pot scared me as well. As soon as it started to turn red and boil.

I couldn't watch that part then, and I still can't watch it now, and I'm 29 lol.

I just brings back the feeling of fright I had back when I was a kid.

[YoshiAngemon]

The pan at the end of the PSA freaked me out, when I was younger, when he laughs so close to the camera.

[meidc]

This seems more like a PSA for irresponsible parents.

[TheShoeOfMattie]

Every warning in this announcement was once the core of a Looney Tunes Gag.

[Lovejoy662]

I remember seeing this entire video on TV once. I still remember the mother putting the baby in the bathtub, going to answer the phone and then hearing the blood curtling scream because she'd turned on the faucet. Sadly, I'd love to see that video again, just to show my little cousins how dangerous hot water really can be.

[deedackeroo]

I remember this from when I was a kid back at school

[Indigoinvader111]

Wow. This takes me back. They made another one about shower safety. I baby's skin can burn in less than 3 seconds. I Still remember!

[toddy198126]

Oh wow!superb really enjoyed that thanks for posting!

I thought it was cute!-That nasty pan.

[azurebird2]

Oh memories!! Thanks for sharing! :)

[Megan2158]

OMG! This commercial affected me so much as a kid that,even now, I think of it sometimes when boiling water and turn the handle in.

[Greenie007]

I remember this one, too! There was one with Daffy, too, where he was going over a check list to make sure a house was fire proofed.

[frappermac]

I forgot about that one! Yeah! That was was cool too!

[WhatsAYak]

And there was a 3rd one w/Tweety talking about preventing burns (I think).

[powerpup97]

I remember seeing that commercial when I was little.  I wish someone would post it up.

[copyright1982]

I remember the sinister pot laughing. Creepy bastard.

[puffincones]

i remember this from Saturday morning cartoons in the 1980's priceless :)

[Herald8]

We saw an full length video with all the WB characters talking about the dangers in the kitchen.

[uofmrules1]

Yeah I recall the buy and girl not being able to make breakfast for their parents due to all this.

[jewlo]

This clip made my weekend! It brings back so many memories of my childhood days. Super Cool!

[crapper1]

dumb and stupid

[choppy231]

The Shriners do great work for injured children and I don't think it's funny that you call the ad dumb and or stupid

[frappermac]

yeah they do lots of great work for children

[crazysingingchick]

that's redundant. this ad is good. my kids loved it. lowercase typing is cool.
