I wonder does anyone remember a fire kills ad from the late 80s/early 90s on ITV/UTV. It was in three parts, one shown at the beginning of the ad break (cigaratte on the couch I think), the other parts shown in the middle (couch and most of living room on fire) and at the end (entire house on fire), to show how quick a fire can spread. Scared the hell out of me because I thought it was real!
Dear god I did not see the skull coming! I thought the screamer was the dead people at the start! This had to have been shown after the watershed surely!
OMG I'm so paranoid now.............never cooking again. I hate that fransis the fire fly story lol Always creeped me out when I was young and now it still does.
Does anyone have the advert that starts off with a family of wooden cutouts (mom, dad, two kids) that are set on fire and wither away while a voiceover talks about how most woodlands are closer to the suburbs? I used to see it on RetroJunk, but that site's gone now.
i read stuff like that on youtube all the time, and yet i still never see them coming.
something that might help is if you tell them WHEN it happens before they scare the pants off themselves. i'll go ahead and say to anyone who wil listen that it happens right at 00:38.
Think that last one may be a trigger for those with OCD

Screamers are perhaps the most irritating phenomenon put forward by pranksters and bullies on the internet.

The PSA with Smokey the cat was made by Aardman studios, which is why it looks a lot like Wallace and Gromit.

The first advert could almost be ironic. I wonder how many people wanted a glass of vodka to calm their nerves after seeing that?
The Brian advert, on the other hand, is just the right amount of scary.
