The Drug Offensive ad Australia 1990

[wkk666]

Eh this ad isn't about drink driving but rather not acting like pissheads in front your children.

[nicktubara]

i used to laugh a lil at those ads, kids acting like mummy and daddy, its almost cute.

good ad tho.

[yashi295]

I think this ad dates back as early as 1986, not 1990.

[f10n4]

@yashi295 You might be right. But it comes off a video tape of mine taped off the telly in 1990.

[yashi295]

I used to be scared of this ad when I was a kid!

[gouje0864]

@mewmaster151 he's quoting tourettes guy

[gerryono]

i hope that's the puff daddy version of that song, not that STING piece of SHIT!

[mewmaster151]

@gerryono sting wrote it dumbass

[AaronJohnson1]

A drug awareness campaign launched by a Federal Government whose Prime Minister was a self confessed alcoholic.

That's the ultimate irony.

[simone891]

this used to scare the beejezuz out of me.

[yashi295]

Did it really?! And I thought I was the only kid in those days to be scared of this ad. I thought there was something wrong we me at the time. I would scream and run to the bedroom when this came on.

There's just something scary about it.....had to put your hand on it, but there's something!

[BlazingOwnager]

The sting lyrics at the problem = hilarious.

[aussiechickloveslife]

[010dan010]

wer the eyes of the dolls moving??? wasent that creepy

[010dan010]

the think and nspc adverts always give me nightmares!

i always think the puppet girl from the nspcc ad is waching me when i sleep!

[shiizaa]

Effective commercial.

[tomchristmas]

Wow. The genesis of alcohol abuse revealed!

The Drug Offensive are well renowned for their hard-hitting and downright creepy 'ads' - stuff of nightmares, I tell you...which was kind of the idea. Too bad they disbanded when Johnny took over in '96...

[shiizaa]

Exactly. Education and Johnny do not come together.

[fletcherm]

Lol! This is actually, in a funny sort of a way, a very clever ad. Much better than half the terrible ineffective drink-driving ads we've seen in recent years.
