  • Instaed of jumpin into an empty pool she could jump on my dickie

  • This PSA ran for years at least until about 1997/1998.

  • whatever happened to that anti drug commercial where the baby walks up to the pool and the narrarator says: "Just tell your parents you weren't watching her cause you were busy gettin' stoned...............They'll understand......" ?

  • Hahahaha this cracked me up.

  • well, if the pool was filled with liquid drugs, then the woman would be alive today.

  • whos this woman?

  • well obiously drugs dont cure stupidity

  • @miles3621 well "ignorance" can fixed "stupid" is forever

  • I was high off of credit and I bought 3 pairs of shoes. I went into the shoe store and everything went black. When I woke up, I didn't remember a thing. Does this mean I have to go to rehab?

  • chilllllllllls.

  • im on drugs ☺

  • So she was so off her nut she jumped into a pool with no water??

  • My buddy did something like this back in the 80's. He was tripped hard on acid...and dove into an empty pool.

  • did he really just say "dandy"? jeez...

  • Water reflecting light underneath the board :P

  • the CIA are the biggest drug dealers in the world

  • LOLOLOLOL Thumbs up if high XP (I don normally do this XP)

  • hehehe what a tard

    

  • damn...that water is crystal clear!

  • Comment removed

  • 0:13 bite that!

  • This commercial caused me to be drug-free starting at 7 years old.

  • @spersonify and before that?

  • @Brando2600 oh man, my first few years were a MESS! haha

  • Okay, no problem so far, nothing really bad's going on-- OH MY GOD, THERE'S NO WATER IN THE POOL, THERE'S NO WATER IN THE POOL, OH MY GOD!!!

  • @monsterboy31 What a twist!

  • Dumb bitch you have to fill the pool with marijuana buds before you jump into it.

  • @MistahFen

    Or anything else that could cushion the fall, preferably water for her and other's enjoyment.

  • don't do drugs dumbass...smoke weed. :P

  • @Maestro13193

    I was about to start a debate with you, but then I looked at your profile, nevermind.

  • @Brando2600 Well, thanks for not wasting my time. I was going to debate you, then I looked at your profile and thought to myself, "Punk Ass White Boy." What do you know? I was right, hehe.

  • lovin da asss lol

  • She does have a nice ass.

  • i think there tryin to say that she was baked and forget there was water in the pool.......she must not only been baked but half-retarded!

  • I think Drug users commit suicide. The girl killed herself so she can stop.

    Every 18 minutes, someone commits suicide.

  • So, know all about what you are doing before you do it? I agree. Every new drug tried should be done so with caution.

  • Ironically, it's the voiceover who sounds like he's on drugs.

  • Drugs Rule! Of course if only handled carefully.

  • damn i remember this shit, 89? fuck i feel old as christ.

  • @thSubliminalCriminal hey im 98 but still going strong your as young as you feel

  • @thegreenghost1000

    congrats man!! that's up there. i was just thinking how wild it is to see stuff from the past. after this vid i remembered the wall i used to rub my back on when it was itchy. nothing like a bit of nostalgia then and again. good times!!

  • oh PSA ads, powerful when we were kids but now that we're grown up, we don't really care anymore. Youtube comments are the bane of the internet!

  • Wow, I wish she was high or that is going to hurt real bad!!!

  • that is going to haunt me in my nightmare.

  • Where's the splat sound?

  • Obviously the point of this was to illustrate that had she jumped into a swimming pool full of drugs, she would be fine.

  • @nerdeman lol

  • @nerdeman I think it's to illustrate that she shouldn't jump into an empty swimming pool just because everyone else is doing it.

  • @CelesteK Obviously. How many times do kids do something stupid for no logical reasoning and their only justification is 'everybody's doing it'? All their friends are doing it, and that seems to be all the reasoning they need.

  • it wouldve been better if they showed her hitting the ground

  • Lol love how people are commenting " I saw this video when I was younger and it scared me so I never touched drugs afterwards" Just fyi that means you never drank coffee, tea, alcohol, prescription drugs or any sort of mind altering agent... sure buddy seems like your the dumbass with the closed mind. Zietgiest yo!

  • uhhh ohhhh i better put this reefer down before i get super stoned and jump into a waterless swimming pool -_-

  • got nothing to do with shit. she was completely sober. o_O

  • I remember this commercial giving me nightmares when i was little.

  • they should of just ended the commercial at 0:04

  • Creepy... Makes me want to do drugs.

  • but then how is michel phelps such a good swimmer?

  • I know what I'm jumpin in to. A dandy old time.

  • Thumbs up if Nostalgia Critic send you here! :D

  • So this is why our Olympic diving team lost in Beijing.

  • Weed is actually better than anything legal, it's one of the biggest cash crop and I don't know why they banned it back then but I'm sure if they knew the facts and not the shit the media feeds us then they wouldn't have made it illegal.

  • @saftydance in school you take tests on drugs sure and you may get a 100% but that's only cuz the media and schools are on the same side to feed you exadrated truths plus I just took a test too on drugs and none of it talked about weed it was about the bad ones

  • OH MY GOD!! THERE'S NO WATER IN THE POOL!! THERE'S NO WATER IN THE POOL!! OH MY GOD!!

  • I saw this commercial along long time ago.

  • One dandy old time! hahaha.

  • @f0cus711 Look I think Nixon is a total dick but cannabis isn't good. The neuron synapse gets over dosed with the chemical that is used in your brain for pleasure. After a while you become less motivated and sometimes even depressed. It doesn't matter though, I could give you all the reasons not to smoke it and you'll still deny it being harmful. You've got your short sad life left...

  • @saftydance2 i think what you're referring to is ecstasy because none of that has anything to do with weed. that statement was just so scientifically wrong it's rediculous.

  • @bountyhunter555 ecstasy is the state of feeling "high."

    It isn't scientifically wrong I just had a whole test on drug addictions. It also isn't REDICULOUS, which by the way is a ridiculous way of spelling it.

  • @saftydance2 damn buddy, you sure are ignorant

  • @f0cus711 but cannabis still gives you major health problems including cancer and other lung problems. Just because your in denial about cannabis being wrong doesnt make it healthy. He did it becuase if our entire country smoked weed we get nothing done and crumble.

  • Were they high when they made this?

  • im jumpin into my 3rd bowl

  • Maybe this will help you figure out what your diving headfirst into.

    htt p: //w ww.megav ideo. com/?d=VW HL8GF T

    That's "If cannabis could cure cancer" A video demonstrating how cannabis has been and can be used to treat a myriad of ailments. Just take out the spaces.

  • I get the point of a psa but they shouldnt go this far. this is how people develop these fears.......THINK BEFORE YOU MAKE A VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • im jumpin into a fuck of a gooood time ;)

  • A Willie E. Coyote hole in the ground. Thank you nostalgia critic. That image won't leave my mind.

  • sooo... drugs make you unable to see if a pools full or not?

  • what an idiot, your supossed to check and see if there is water honey

  • I was thought the empty pool at the end was creepy. Maybe it was the angle of the shot. Or the ominous sound effect at the end.

  • You forgot to take water with your drugs today

  • Is Charlie Sheen narrating this?

  • I'm not sure whether or not to write off the dumb posts as trolling. The empty pool is a metaphor, not literal.

  • @BAVideography So the add failed big time here.

    If you want to make an add campain agaist somethig, make sure that a poorly choosen (and rather dumb) metaphor won't become center of attention. If you truly want someone to not take drugs show him a picture of someone after two weeks on crystal meth...

  • @CloudAYB I don't think this advertising failed. I am 29 and I remember this commercial like yesterday. It scared the heck outta me when I was kid and as a result I had no interest in doing drugs.

  • @BAVideography - THANK YOU! I hope people are joking

  • I wonder if anyone could still be alive after jumping in an empty pool

  • what kind of idiot jumps off a diving board with no water in it?? and second, why wasn't the pool closed?!

  • Yeah I get high and dive into a pool...NOT

  • OMG This commercial used to scare me!

  • @Queenofawesome25 - Good that is what is was suppose to do it scared me too. I am 31 and have never touched a drug

  • they did something like this on a 1000 ways to die

  • @TheGoreyparodies the acid one...lol..

  • @PsychoSciFi lol ok even if that made up bull shit was true it still would be marketable. Look at cigarettes and alcohol dipshit. It's a proven fact that marijuana is much safer than both of those. Cigarettes cause lung cancer and alcohol kills brain cells and your liver. Does that seem very marektable to you? Yet it's still legal and people still do both. So even if that bullshit was true (and its not) it's still a hell of a lot safer than the legal drugs in this country.

  • OK, no problem so far...nothing really bad's going on..OH MY GOD THERE'S NO WATER! THERE'S NO WATER IN THE POOL! OHMIGOD! THERE'S NO WATER IN THE POOL! OHMIGOD!

    What a twist!

  • @PsychoSciFi

    Every human is born with a set amount of nigral cells. Throughout life they die off no matter what. Once your below a certain level, you officially have Parkinson's disease.

    Cannabis use does not increase nigral cell death at all. Theres absolutely not one shred of evidence to support that. You just fabricated that claim up on your own, which is pretty fucking stupid.

    Your a retard, you have clue what your talking about, and you shouldn't be spreading misinformation.

  • cannabis its not a fucking druf ,necotine its drug and its full of toxic shit in usa evry year around 200 000 people are dieing because of tabaco and gues what in 10 000 years there was no one who died of marijuana use i am not tryin to tellin you that pot needs to be legalize, at least just decriminalise it

  • @PoffWeedAndGoRide

    Spell check and proof-reading. My best advice for you is to use them.

  • Why does the dad yell "Answer me" when the kid is trying to answer? How is the kid supposed to answer, Accountant Dad?

  • I didn't know Jennifer Garner did PSAs in the 80's.

  • @PsychoSciFi: Even if what you're saying is true (which it isn't), it really doesn't concern me. There. I said it. I don't give a fuck if I develop Parkinson's in old age. A ton of people who have never smoked pot develop it anyway. And, also, if I don't get that, I'm sure I'll get something else. Because guess what? THAT'S A PART OF GETTING OLD. YOU START TO DIE. But, I suppose people like you think you're going to live until you're 135. Have a good time with that. I sure as hell won't be there

  • @PsychoSciFi

    hey shit head, just by checking the stoners statistic we can find out if that true or false, we don't need no fucking double cross check... and by the way, you are just one dude on youtube who claims this shitty claim, so everyone choose not to believe you

  • it's the music at 24 when she dives off the board which makes this commercial scary.

  • i remember this

  • @f0cus711 Cannabis still has health risk, just like any other drug, including legal ones. Not to say cannabis is bad, but still, you can't say it is nothing.

  • Would a drug free America include the Viagra and all the other pills advertised 24/7 on free and cbale TV, and even on sponsership of NASCAR?

  • @voidenter she thought there was water in it because she was hallucinating when she was high.

  • @f0cus711 it was agaisnt LSD mainly.

    and in the 80's when coke and heroin came up they thought that all drugs are as dangerous as them.

    i am pro-drugs but not everyhitng in a stoners world is a cospiracy agaisnt mariuana :)

  • Most depressing commercial ever.

  • @Admercial I've seen worse. Just watch some of the starving african children commercials where the people MAKE you feel bad NOT to donate.

  • @mistertitanic

    Oh, yeah. Aside from those.

  • @Admercial Well those are infomercials :P

  • @f0cus711 LOL Spoken like a true ignorant American.... so according to you're philosophy (based on similar assumptions) anyone that supports Cannabis Supports the Nazi's

  • You know, in a way, doing drugs is similar to diving into an empty swimming pool: Only an idiot would do it.

  • As a kid watching this it always reminded me of nightmare on Elm Street!

  • HAhahaaa i remember this commercial

    i was real young tho like 6 in 1989

    i just remember thinking, why is she jumping in a pool with no water???

    is that what heroine addicts do??

    shit made no sense..

  • Has anyone ever noticed that 80s drug PSAs always had really creepy background music?

  • @ChrisMolyneaux93 between the Drug commercials and the Charter Hospital commercials

  • Jesus christ the music is fucking terrifying.

  • @f0cus711 I thought this commercial was from the 80's... Y'know, after Nixon...

  • ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. like. that would just be fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkeddd­dddddddd upppppppppp.

  • I wanna do her. After she hits the bottom.

  • lol this shit is stupid

  • ...the little brother said something like, "That's why I'm NEVER gonna use drugs."

    Anybody remember that one? I'm sure I'm not the only who remembers it. I saw it 'round 1990-91, I think. It could've came out in '89 as well. I'm guessing the main reason it can't be found anywhere on here is because the story the little actor was telling in that PSA was based on a true one. That's my only guess. Other than the "Snakeman" PSA, that one was the most intense PSA they ever produced.

  • BTW, ever since I've been coming on YouTube starting in 2006 (apparently when this clip was posted), I've been searching for that one 'Partership for a Drug-Free America PSA where the little kid, the lil' brother who was likely in the hood, was sitting up in his bed telling a story about how his older brother--who was either a pusher or a user--broke into the house after everybody went to sleep and came into his room shaking and tossing (PAUSE!) him around in his bed. Near the end of the PSA...

  • 0:16...shame...such a cutie too. Who is she--and what's she doing now? I mean that actress. (I'm sure I saw her on an episode of "Saved by the Bell" back in the day.) I hope she really didn't dive into an empty swimming pool. Lol!!!... Oh yeah, one more thing: I guess it would only be right to let people know I always associated the dirty diving board (0:27) with the blood that would likely be all over the floor of the pool. Even to this very day when watch it on here. :-)

  • All these PSA commercials made me want to drugs when I got older! Its like your thinking "whats the hype all about anyway." marijuana is a herb. You learn by experiencing.

  • Oh i get the diving board represents the social pressu- no wait.. it obviously represents tha- no thats not it, but atleast i know tht the empty pool signifies to look before you leap right? Fuck this ima go light a j -_-

  • After this commercial "Different Strokes" came on

  • Dude the comments make this fucking video thank you all I'm on the floor. Personal favorite is the dude from 2 months saying he eats his pizza with no cheese and shit lol

  • this really bumbed me out. i need to get stoned now :/

  • Scariest commercial ever. Scarred me for life.

  • wow, women were hotter in the 80s

  • @vdven heck yeah.

  • Mom, another high lady jumped into our empty pool again...

  • @Zuyuri That would be a nightmare.

  • @Zuyuri damn teenagers and their drugs . . .

  • @f0cus711 word

  • Anti- Diving Board PSA

  • PSA: SMOKING WEED MAEKS IT IMPOSSIBLE 2 SWIM!!!

    MICHAEL PHELPS: O RLY?

  • OMG THERE'S NO WATER, THERE'S NO WATER IN THE POOL OMG THERE'S NO WATER IN THE POOL OMG! (The Nostalgia Critic)

  • @kitkatcutie520 LOL! Nostalgia Critic for the win!

  • @kitkatcutie520 What a twist! She just M. Night Shamaylan my ass!

  • They totally stole this from the Bryan Adams video for "Cuts Like A Knife."

    Anyway, kept me off drugs.

  • @wookie72 That's what I always used to think of whenever I saw this on tv.

  • He's right. It would be quite stupid to do any drug without knowing as much as you can about it. Proper doses, effects, side effects, how long it should last, unique risks...

  • This makes me not want to jump off of diving boards more than abstain from getting high

  • @D4MVP X2 dude

  • @D4MVP

    I agree. Moreover, PSAs like this make people like me very anxious and distraught. I feel like I have no option but to do even more drugs and attempt to get children hooked on them as well.

  • She's pretty. :)

  • It sounds like the narrator from End of the Spear.

  • Fo' sure, when I hit a blunt, I jump into empty pools, and drive my wheel-less car, and eat cheese-free pizzas and play pc games without my keyboard, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT !

  • I think the 80s should be known as "the scare-the-shit-out-of-you decade

  • when muff diving goes wrong.

  • Comment removed

  • I remember this commercial

  • Hahahahaha what is this shit? Look before you dive, you shit stabbing dyke.

  • *splat*

  • i love how anyone commented here who does drugs has a sense of humor, but anyone against them is a stuck up little bitch

    :D

  • And the answer is... nothing! It's all good guys!

  • @QuantumQuacks i dont fuck with stardust dude...im in for some space cake thow....

  • I remember this commercial when I was a kid and guess what? It didn't stop my sister from trying out drugs.

  • HA HA, here me out people, Partnership for a Drug Free America is FUNDED by the alcohol, tobacco, and big pharma companies, so there will never be a drug free America, its the illegal drugs that they do not want legal, not because they care about you, its that those drugs are decentralized and cannot be controlled, therefore everyone could trade and barter them, the drug war is a fucking lie. Wake up America.

  • Are those idiots blind? At least one person would eventually say, "STOP!!! Don't do it; it's dangerous!"

  • I wonder what a troma PSA would look like

  • weed has broadend my view on reality

    weed has opened my contentiousness

    did you know one of the main reasons religions mainly smoked pot is because of those two reasons...pot expands you mind and broadends your perspective and changes (most) for the better in doing so...even if one stops smokeing pot after a long wile...the thoughts and perspectives stay strong...i smoke to relieve pain, to chill, to sleep, to eat,...weed is probly one of the main things that help the quality of my life

  • @suchadambidiot haha no wonder you dont know how to spell consciousness

  • @WrightLakai i never said weed helped me spell i only said it helped me see things differently...

  • @WrightLakai

    The fact that you repeat propaganda makes you a sucker of Satans scaly corporate jizz greased cock. Mind your own buisness. Weed does not make you stupid. The Heath Tulane study has been disproven.

  • I wish they made a sequel to this, where she didn't really jump, came down, and decided to quit drugs, and get help.

  • damn, I expected seeing her head smashed into the floor...

    (european PSAs do that)
