Fireworks commercial

[princess17306]

well thats just stupid to touch a sparker who does that? God kid needs training.

[booga75]

This advert used to scare the sh*t out of me when I was little!

[impofhighnoon]

We don't actually 'celebrate the anarchist', we celebrate his torture and execution. Thats why every year for hundreds of years now, we've burned him in effigy :)

[alwaysmusic11]

I'm still frightened of sparklers ...

[Time71Team]

Thanks to seeing this advert when i was a child, i was too scared shitless to touch a sparkler and was terrified of them.

[aramanth]

Want to see a drawing of my hippo, Andy?!

[thedoctor2199]

@aramanth I've been looking for that one! "Andy! The fire!!"

[97channel]

[CammyWho10]

[RcUniverseGuy]

[RcUniverseGuy]

november the 6th? wtf its all about the 4th!!! if you get hurt with a sparkler you're probably the dumbest little girl on the block and deserved it

[hihile1]

Hahaha

[chain0fflowers]

3 people don't like sparklers!

[jackjohnny2001]

yep start November 6th with your small finger down and the rest up and does that girl have a smirk on her face at the end

[NMSknives]

a sparkler cant burn that much of you hand. worst case scenario is you get a tiny blister

[jzygorodimos]

ah crap my sparkaler is out a will put it in the recycle bin. ah @%#% !!!!! oh poo

[ChancerellaBangs]

OK this bandaged child is is possibly the scariest thing I have ever seen...was she the double in "Don't Look Now"?

[SuperPrettyperfect]

im wearing gloves to not burn my hands!!!

im going to pick it up now with out my gloves because its safe!

ahhhhhhhhh!!!

owie!

[hyperbaricchicken101]

OWIE!!!!!

[Naderwater]

It is November the 5 not the 6 because it bombfire night in the 5 o

[McgaugheyMonkey]

i just got hit with a firework last night on halloween

it hit me in the leg but im fine lol

TRUST ME if anyone out there likes to throw fireworks make sure that you dont aim them towards yourself

because it cost me a mark on my leg AND i dropped my Chinese takeaway!

[xaero101]

@McgaugheyMonkey

Gutted! How much did the takeaway cost you?

[McgaugheyMonkey]

@xaero101

£2.00 but i already had eaten a good bit of it lol

then my friand got 3 fingers blown of the next day and his hand looks EXACTLY the same as it does in this video 

[McgaugheyMonkey]

@xaero101

sorry lol watch public information film _ fireworks and thats wat my freinds hand looks like

[ongchorcool]

i played that before!

[TheQK9]

Nov 6th meaning the next day... U don't want to start the next day with a whole bunch of bandages on ya finger!

[LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1]

Eeee...I brought my mother in law a rocket for Christmas and she was over t' moon

[pancakeday2006]

@ Anyone who's questioning why the voiceover references November the 6th - You are a fucking cretin.

[therealgreatqball]

@pancakeday2006 I'm from the United States, so not trying to be an asshole, what's Nov 6th all about? Just... curious.

[Magnesiur]

@therealgreatqball Nov 5th is when we celebrate Bonfire Night in the UK (see aramanth's comment) and Nov 6th is the day after. The video said it cause you don't wanna start the next day with serious injuries etc.

[Seigfreid]

Get that child an oscar.

[hannahhazlehurst]

They showed this on Russell Howards good news :)

[terrybuttkins]

High five!!!!

[terrybuttkins]

Hi five!

[cowan913]

NOVEMBER THE 6TH???

[fidstang]

Where were the responsible parents in this video telling the kids how to use them?

[crazybeavers155]

poor kid=-(

[laurabrignell]

What a nostalgia trip! I remember this VIVIDLY. Totally freaked me out - the scream used to reverberate though my nightmares...

[Scooby71Doo]

@laurabrignell I remember this as well which was why i was terrified of sparklers as a kid.

[AmyRoseCute]

What's so special about November 6?

[3DPlanets]

She's probably thinking, "I better put that in the water. Ouch, I grabbed the wrong end! That's really hot! OWW!!! I FEEL THE NEED TO HANG ON TO IT FOR NO F---ING REASON!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH­HHHHHHHH!!!

[JoanCollins2009]

poor cow

[cottonwhiskersuk]

I'm not sure that briefly gripping a hot sparkler between two fingers would result in the whole hand being swaddled in bandages.

[tiabbzz]

ouch dats gootta hurt

[danthebrit]

it used to be a longer advert where she is with her mother in the street talking to a old women

[dimebolt1976]

@danthebrit

i rememmer that also being the case !

[happinesscounts]

November 6th is after bonfire night, so it means the day after bonfire night

[AnthonyUK]

Sparklers ARE safe if held properly at arm's length preferably in a gloved hand, and left alone when finished.

[howdidjfkreallycroak]

you're supposed to do that, but put it in water afterwards

[AnthonyUK]

@howdidjfkreallycroak But not everybody puts out a bucket of water for used hot sparkler wires!

[waveali]

Ok I'm a Yank. What is Nov. 6th?

[aramanth]

On the night of November 5th Guy Fawkes and the Catholic conspirators tried to blow up Parliament in protest to Protestant rule. It failed because Guy was arrested while guarding the gunpowder!

On the night of November 5th there are bonfires, effigies, and fireworks. A strange excuse to have a holiday to celebrate an anarchist but why not?!

If you are a Harry Potter fan you will note that Dumbledore's phoenix is named Fawkes!

[TheSmiths12345]

@aramanth : It's not celebrating the anarchist, it's celebrating the foiling of the plot. That's why effigies of Guy get burned on bonfires up & down the country.

[R0undAboutMidnight]

@aramanth Guy Fawkes wasn't an anarchist.

[uckersas]

1 day after guy fawkes day

[agfagaevart]

Doesn't she know it's rude to point 2 fingers like that?

[TomthatiscalledTom]

They always used to broadcast ads like this right after Rainbow to traumatise children

[mistofoles]

Really? I found it was Rainbow that traumatised me, not this!

[jadorebri]

Yeah, this really scared me when I was little - sparklers still make me nervous. Perhaps this advert did its job a bit too well!!!

[Aflac100]

november 6?

is that what he said?

i didnt hear quite well

[uckersas]

yea he said nov. 6

[aramanth]

Hang on, I just watched this again and noticed some of the children waving their sparklers with gloved or mittened hands! The girl who burns herself is ungloved!

[aramanth]

Sheesh so remember children, instead on the eve of November 5 you should burn large safe effigies of the old Guy and not touch those tiny sinister hand crippling sparklers! Burn effigies...

[LOOPYMOOCOW]

cant be worse then lifting a grill of a barbeque when it's lit. jesus im and idiot!

[bichoalder]

I remember watching this when I was little and it really scared me - I didn`t even want to touch sparklers when they weren`t lit!!

[shazzbazz]

Same here, I was petrified after!

[uckersas]

i also touched a lit sparkler

aint that severe

[sptol]

missnikkiklass the original film is titled Fireworks Bandage 1976 its approx a minute long if i remember

[sptol]

Thats the edit version the full length version is 1.30 which consists of poor Kerry stuck in the middle while her mum tells a neighbour in the high street it was made in 1976 Ray Brooks(Mr Benn) narrated them both i found the edit more eerie than the original!

[missnikkiklass]

do you know where it is ? I can't find it

Thanks

[slaughterhouseblues1]

Does anyone what this kid is doing now? I really fancied her when watching this advert, would be nice to get in touch.

[chicagofireworks]

I feel fireworks should only be lit with remote ignition devices, and the user be at least 500 feet away in a concrete bunker, wearing a firesuit, and body armor. BAN THESE EVIL DEVICES NOW!

No but seriously, fuck this fear mongering commercial. I have lit fireworks since I can remember, and nothing EVER went wrong because we were save.

[fritzenberg]

when i was a kid i had to leave the room when this came on,the bit when she screams freaked me out.

[DeeperRootsProject]

This would never have happened if she'd just worn her idiot mittens.

[roguespear91]

Don't forget the helmet.

[chicagofireworks]

HAHAHA

[oxnardhomeboy]

stupid i play with fireworks and nuttin i repeat nuttin happens to me

[Samybabesx]

to pyrogeniuses:

how the fuck did a 3 year old manage to light a sparkler??

[pyrogeniuses]

when i used to live inan apartment this 3 years old kid lit a sparkler and dropped it on the round and wentr to get another,the grass caught on fire so i took a bucket of water and poured the fire out,fire is fun,but dangerous

[tristanmorton]

thats is crap ive totched teh sparks from a sprkler loads it does not burn me

[mroyan]

its not the sparks that burn you retard its the red hot wire.

[tristanmorton]

ive tutched teh wire aswell so stfu downey

[nortong]

think about it, their kids, they have weaker skin, itll burn right through, and dont come up wiv bullshit sayin u did it wen u were younger lol

[spacecowboy22]

0:17 PMSL!!!!!! the bit i remember :)

[CharitableView]

Christ. I can still feel the imaginary pain aged 35. You have to say that the "scare the sh*t out of them" 70s/80s advertising strategy worked

[mistofoles]

Oh,wow, I remember this one! Ray Brookes narrating?

[Lauraloos1981]

yes it is joe in eastenders

[Nidoking32]

If i remeber,isnt there a funny one where it says

"Hold at arms lentgth"

"No,not the child"

[billabongodrum]

i think so, hale & pace did it i think

[LuvvyDuck]

Owtch! Poor little kid.

[lilmisscarla1]

a sparkler burns at 2000 hundreds of people dont nah how harmful sparklers reali aree !

[Hquiddtchfan]

I think if you touch a sparkler,you might even suffer neither third degree burns of second degree burns

[gamingworld003]

bunch of bs

[badguy622]

my neice and my grandma were watching my dad lite off a mortar and we had the mortar duck taped down to the ground and still back fired hitting my neice and grandma and exploding right on them... They don't like fireworks anymore but they were fine after a day or so...

[badguy622]

[napodman]

a mate of mine pressed down on my leg with a lit sparkler and all i got was a small burn, but it wasnt really a burn it was jsut a black mark!

[jacobousgatez]

The woman handing out the sparklers is my Aunty Paddy.

[randomandproudqueen]

i thought she was wearing gloves at the beginning?

WTF "LETS JUST TAKE OFF MY GLOVES TO PICK UP A RED HOT SPARKLER YEAH!"

[MidlandNinja]

This appears to date from the 1980s

[JerseyANT]

I got burt by one but i through it and I was fine

[asulei]

remember this advert, old school!

[a1dantheman]

what an ideot shes thick. if you pause the vid at 00:17 it looks like she is having a big poo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol.

[itchydez]

yeah lol!

[ThreeCharlieKilo]

She looks like the's constipated. XD

[puramind]

her face is priceless lololllol

[SH1FT1]

Why dont we have these adverts nowadays? I remember this well and believe it made us more aware

[AnthonyUK]

Sparklers if held properly DON'T hurt you.

[Applemask]

That's the message of the advert.

[Grandmabee34]

I agree!Hold the end that's NOT LIT,knucklehead!!!!

[HBK30uk]

god, i can remember this ad!!!!!!

[Applemask]

That expressionistic final shot. Gaaaaaaaaa.

[Perranporth]

What a horrible advert!
