Early 70's Anti-Heroin PSA - Monkey On Their Backs

[LuvvyDuck]

Lol man, this ad used to scare the snot out of me when I was a kid. But at least I never did heroin! XD

I'm laughing my ass off here.

I remember this ad from the 70’s and it still makes my skin crawl. Guess a true classic never goes out of style!

NO

IT'S NOT CUTE

[100Arceuslover]

why the hell did the monkey hiss like a cat???

[NeverDoubt1]

@100Arceuslover LOL, I was about to write the same thing. I mean they could have used a monkey sound effect, they do make noise too! lol

[Hectotane]

The same thing can be said for [fans of] late-night anime.

Who da thunk?

[SpamNapkin]

The first screamer!

[monkeyfromouterspace]

Ohhhh wow! It finally made it on youtube! This absolutely scared the hell out of me as a child. I'd literally run screaming from the living room when it would start playing lol. My brothers teased me about it too. Not as scary now, but something about it still gives me the creeps!

Btw, there was another anti-drug PSA that came out right around the same time that made odd (perhaps distorted shots) of stop lights at night with strange music. Another very creepy one. Anyone remember that one?

I have to know: where or how did you find this? This absolutely terrified me as a child, and it gives me goosebumps each time I've watched it here.

@soulshear I've actually tracked this down in a search engine on some old website. Forgot what it was but it was one of those that had that "Index of/parent folder" sites. I love learning about the 70's and 80's, although I was born in 1986, and I love the charm that hose decades seemed to have, so when I heard about this PSA, I was intrigued enough to wanna track it down! Sure wasn't easy finding it either lol.

@Vandal626 Oops I mean "those". A little typo there.

[Maskedmutant]

@Vandal626 Well, I'm glad you found it!! a little more each day, the mysteries of my childhood are unfolding (lol)

[Maskedmutant]

@soulshear Me too!!! Thank you SO much for posting this! I've been looking for this FOREVER!! I haven't seen this since I was about 3 or 4! They used to show it on weekdays in the evening around 5 or 6, after the cartoons
