Robert Stack kicks ASS.

[CanOfMinus]

I remember all these "Don't talk to strangers" PSA's from the 1980's because they scared the living shit out of me. Of course my mom also hammered this crap into our heads so when she took us out we wouldn't talk to anyone and she would get pissed and yell at us only to turn around and tell us we'll get kidnapped by strangers.

[JGPrankcalls]

you only enter the car if they offer you skittles. everyone loves skittles.

[TheRacerlover]

how many times did the penn st coach jerk off to this ad?

[ctjazzking]

@TheRacerlover  lmfao

[GaryVonGary]

As a kid, I had no idea what kidnapping was all about. Why people did it and what to do if it happened to me. This commercial left way too much information out and nobody would answer any of my questions either. 25 years later, I'm wondering if these commercials were actually effective.

[MrSparklehooves]

@GaryVonGary lol. you got kidnapped XD

[wallofvideo]

i guess this is before he moved to chicago, illinois.

[bS0up]

Y'know, now that I'm an adult, McGruff seems pretty shady. What's he hiding under that trench coat?

[lutheranchic122]

How'd they do that with the bikes? Are there playground rings in the background? They don't have those now adays; I remember playing on those as a kid. They took those away because people are careless and STUPID when they played on them back then. Damn them! LOL!

[lutheranchic122]

This is PART of the kidnapping psa; they cut a lot of it out!

[muiscnight]

"Scruff mcgurff chicago illinois 60652!" I can never forget that part

[TheElectricDreamer93]

I'm agoraphobic now

[Blackboilingrobotoil]

Fucking Raptured!

[WizzoPro9476]

@Blackboilingrobotoil LOL!!!!!!!

[2RandomGirls]

Oh my gosh, I remember our school would always have assemblies for this dog! I hated him so much because the assemblies were boring and I always just found him obnoxious. I know I'll probably get flamed, but I just can't believe I found one of these! Oh, and of course, I'm going to make my own kids watch these one day, just because I had to. xD

[AmricanGir]

0:14 They Literally disappear, but it's interesting how the bikes just stop where their at and fall shortly after Mcgruff appears...

[barneymcfancypants]

That's not her dad...it's her boyfriend. She met him on the internets...

[21Sweet1]

they need more commercial like this every where...i miss watching mr. mcgruff

[marylandman12]

@21Sweet1 I agree and the sad part is that it still happens today.

[epic88]

@SSJSonicguy that just sounds sketchy

[TaTgurl1003]

more creepy than scary

[LCMScorpio412]

I remember watching a short movie that starred Mcgruff the Crime dog, it was about fire safety. :) And I was in elementary school.

[LegendoftheAce]

I miss him a lot when I was a kid commercials like this used 2 come on between cartoons I would see them 2 or three times an hour and the message really stuck.

[heydee06]

i want a dog like mc gruff.. so HE can help take a bite out crime.

[ratesforless]

You guys never lied, this commercial scared the crap outta me. It didn't help that I grew in Atlanta during the missing and murdered children era....

[gojiranotgodzilla]

Mcgruff is right you might think it is your dad when you don't know that you are really being kidnapped so avoid being kidnap and teach crooks that there are rules to follow and it is God's task to make sure they do.

[PoeticRocker]

My god according to this commercial, my loved ones could even kidnap me!! Who do I trust!?!

[beastchicky]

@PoeticRocker i was just thinking that

[TightSportsNetwork]

I was 6 and this commercial scared the mess out of me especially early saturday mornings.

[abysmalatrocious]

@TightSportsNetwork These were scary! I'm in Seattle.  Did you ever see a commercial that said "Don't put your life on the electricity/line" in the early 80s?

[SwaggerLikeUz]

 ...Who could forget those Commercials ..dont talk to strangers 80's foreal..lol

[Tenor5274]

do you by any chance have the one of the guy running from what he thinks is people coming to get him but it turns out to be only his friends...they told he should have waited for them at the mall???? That was a good one too.

[Tenor5274]

as a child I would sometime see this commercial at early 6 am and it would sccare me!!! But what he said was true.

[karaoket]

Not only the bikes...but the stray basketball bouncing away and the empty swings still moving!

[karaoket]

I totally remember this PSA and forgot how creepy it was! Wow!

[silverbulletgirl29]

And little do they know when they sit in Santa's lap, the Easter Bunny's lap, shake hands with Tigger, Mickey, famous people, they are 'talking to strangers!' LOL

[marcusedell]

ah yes..the beginning of the fear mongering in America..now days kids never leave the friggin house!

[InfamousShad]

Old PSAs are so damn scary

[blacksultan85]

@InfamousShad yes it is,it makes you think how society was back in the days with the crimes that was going on.

[lutheranchic122]

We need more of those mcgruff psa's from the 80's put back on the air; to help american kids.

[Pdasilva0324]

The way the bikes just..fell.always gave me the creeps

[publica74]
