The way the woman on the PG one says "sexy scenes" always made me laugh when i was little xD

"there will be nothing unsuitable for children" hearing that and knowing that watership down is a U that line just makes me laugh

Can we all just appreciate the nostalgia please

This is the first time that I saw the 12, 15 & 18 ones

I remember these things, I actually used to immatate the voices.

I remember the U one being on my Thomas and the magic railroad VHS and the PG one being on my Cats and Dogs VHS😂 nostalgic

1:41 After all these years I finally get to see the rest.

Ad: It's illegal to show a 12 to anyone under the age of 12 12a movies: *allow me to introduce myself*

I remember feeling like such a rebel watching an 18 when I was 7. The movie was Scream. It fucked me right up though....

“Thanks for listening” pure nostalgia with a big tick at the end 😊

This randomly popped into my head today and looked for it. Damn this takes me right back to sitting on my gran's carpet watching VHS after VHS.

I remember the U and PG warnings fondly. Would’ve been too intimidated to step on an 18 title due to the ‘red’, ‘adults-only’ component. 15 titles weren’t allowed either growing up except few-and-far-between, like MATRIX and SWORDFISH, was about as far as I would go in the early years of my life. 12 was here-or-there.

Wow, these bring back memories!!

I used to feel really naughty when I nicked 12 and 15 rated videos from Dad's office... Happy days :D

1:20 I swear they timed that clip with the voiceover on purpose. It never gets old :P

*Watership Down has entered the chat*

Dude, I feel so old watching these again.

Remember sitting through these in the mid 2000's cos my family where cheap arse and didn't buy a dvd player

Having owned the James Bond VHS collection, I knew the PG one off by heart. Got the Adam & Joe VHS that parodies this segment by offering a dual certificate that indicates the material contains many parts that might make you feel you could have done better yourself, and not trying to tax you intellectually. Thank you for listening and enjoy the show.

The voice over for 12, 15 and 18 is very intense.

"It is an offense to supply a film classified 15 to anyone below that age." Really? Didn't stop my cousin watching his first at age seven (a bootleg copy of 'Terminator 2' to be exact).

My childhood viewing... Terminator, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Rambo, Halloween, Scream and so on... Good times 😄

Ooh I honestly didn't know it was Floella Benjamin.. So obvious really distinctive voice... My brother used to fast forward through them, and when she said thanks for listening.. He used to laugh and say he wasn't listening

I remember when these appeared on videos in the early 2000s

Man this is a trip down memory lane! I feel like buying myself a video player again on ebay for the nostalgia ❤

i love how films for 12-year-olds were (are?) treated like porn.

I wish it was on DVDs

I remember when I was younger, I would typically watch Warner bros movies with a u or pg rating, and I was so used to those words over and over again. I did watch some more adult stuff, but it was never from Warner bros. So, when I found ghost ship, I thought I'd found the holy grail, I finally had something that contained new words, New images, even a new voice. Apart from that, I never felt the need to watch the movie again because i just wasn't interested in it as much as other movies.

Good boy. I remember how bliss it was sneaking into 18 films. Sadly, I only did it twice and it doesn't feel so fun anymore now that I'm old enough.

There's a women speaking for the nice ones. An a man for the naughty ones. =D

Wow a blast from the past I remember there u and pg warnings but I have never seen the 1215 and 18 warnings thanks for uploading

I remember seeing the VSC U warning when I was very little. :)

This video of all warner bros films on vcr,brings back a lot of memories the 18 certifcate video used to scare me as a kid.

the "sexy scenes" in the PG got me dead

I remember these. I know Floella Benjamin does the VoiceOver for the U and PG clips but I don't know who did the male VoiceOver for the 12 - 18 warnings.

now a days 18 films dont come by. 12 15 r just as good. Udont need very rough.

I remember Simon Bates doing these and then these coming later. Ah, the days of VHS! I also remember seeing Die Hard when I was 10 (it was an 18 at the time) and loving it, then seeing a 15 when I was 12 and having the living crap scared out of me!

0:51 Philosopher's stone anyone?

U: “Nothing Unsuitable for Children” Watership Down: 🐰+🩸=💀

"Thanks for listening" When my brother and I used to fast forward this on videos, then in unison cheekily exclaim "We didn't even listen!".

Brings back memories

Man this brings back memories.

Gosh those Video Standard Council Logo Warnings brought me back loads of memories during the 90s but I only remember the *U* and the *PG* ones only on VHS. :P 18 Warning is so creepy that it doesn't make me want to watch the movie! :O

The end of the historical note in war of the wolf, when the man says thank you for listening reminds me of this video.

I remember these. They were on every single video tape that I used to have.

I always feel this nostalgia when watching Harry Potter and the PG comes on.

These used to really creep me out as a kid.

My childhood right there. VHS may not have had the best quality compared to DVDs but you used to get the best stuff back in those days. I never forgot these ads.

The only 12 rated VHS I remember watching was Spiderman, still cannot remember watching the 12 rating warning. Of course DVDs were long since standard when I started watching 15 and 18 rated films so never saw them before XD

the u and pg gives me good memorys of being a kid I'm 18 now the remind me of the age of 2 to 6 then I got dvds all my vhs are in the attic they was great times

U: Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman: Mush If By Land, Mush Mush If By Sea, Angelina Ballerina: Dreams Do Come True PG: Peter Rabbit, Sing, Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation, Who Framed Roger Rabbit 12: Avengers: Infinity War, The Angry Birds Movie, Watership Down

tiny toons adventures!!

This brings back memories

"Thanks for listening! Tick" That's the one I was looking for at 4am

This brings back memories :D I'm 16 now. I remember watching video cassettes when I was a wee boy and they always had these :)

Memories of watching Harry Potter on VHS (we kept ours for quite a long time). I love the way she says 'there may be some sexy scenes' it sounds like she's trying not to laugh

This Certificate is Brought to you by The Warner Bros AND THE WARNER SISTER DOT!!!

I'v had "thanks for listening" and the tick sound effect that follows in my head for.... too many years.

Video: The ( U) rating means the movie is sutible for all ages an there will be nothing unsuitable for children Me: *Has Watership Down flashbacks*

“Nothing unsuitable for children” on the U one hits kinda different after watching Steve’s review on Help! I’m a Fish.

I remember seeing these when I was about 5 or 6.

I remember how movies were quite strong for a PG back then. As the 12 rating didn’t exist until 1989 for cinemas, and 1994 for VHS, films were often cut to fit a the PG rating for home video, and despite the cuts, they were still pretty strong, especially Arachnophobia, the Jurassic Parks, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Addams Family (original & Values), and others that were released after 1994, like Batman Forever and Mission: Impossible still had a PG rating. If films were made like this today they’d definitely get a 12 rating.

Jeez, I remember watching these when I put a vhs tape into the player when I was a kid😮 until now I only ever saw the U and PG ratings. Even that check mark unlocked a load of memories 🫣

Oh my Talos...This Brings Back so many Memories for me...I only ever saw The U,PG and I only saw the 12 one once

R.I.P Old version of the British age ratings. 2002 - October 2019

The nostalgia

0:00 BBFC VSC U 0:52 BBFC VSC PG 1:41 BBFC VSC 12 2:31 BBFC VSC 15 3:22 BBFC VSC 18

Anyone remember I think it was a trailer that played before quite a few films where a bunch of moths or flies attack a women or something

Fast forwarding through it and trying to stop right at the 'thanks for listening' part, so you could be like, 'Ha, I didn't!'

It makes me feel old that I remember this....

Last summer, I watched my first 12, "Pitch Perfect" on DVD. I was 11. and I'm 12 soon! 😂

0:25 Yeah, Tiny Toon Adventures has an episode about getting drunk? Yup, totally kid-friendly

0:19 What about Watership Down and Star Wars (I IV V VI)?

I think these VSC warnings are very important

I remember these!

i remeber this from my childhood i watched my first 18 rated film when i was 7 and that was die hard 1 and thats how the die hard films became my number 1 favorite f

Ahh the memories

I remember seeing the U rating on The Secret Of Nimh VHS and the PG rating on Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island.

Nostalgia...

Only have U and PG: U-Space Jam,Tiny Toons PG-Pokémon: The First Movie,Powerpuff Girls : The Movie

@JoeSonic5678 U- Free Willy, Tiny Toons How I Spent My Summer Vacation and Black Beauty PG- Dennis, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and Gone with the Wind 12- Ace Ventura, The Pelican Brief and Wyatt Earp 15- Batman Returns, Demolition Man, The Fugitive and The Bodyguard 18- The Wild Bunch, Lethal Weapon 2 and some Steven Spielberg movie

i used too watch 18s when i was 14. video shop sold me still my mam went mad.

Nostalgia, although I never saw any ratings higher than pg be for dvds took over.

Bbfc: * gives water ship down a u rating * Me now: u sure that a good choice? 8/

I grew up in the 2000s but these are still interesting.

I saw the "U" one sooooo many times on my Tom & Jerry VHS tapes. And I speak a completely different language from English, so I thought that voice was just spouting a bunch of gibberish way back in the day. Also, I often imitated the characters in the little zooming out countdown.

Green Triangle, U - Good to Go It's good to watch for all ages. That means Universal, for all ages. Yellow Triangle, PG - Slow Down This may be for ages 8 and up. May contain violence, rude humour, or theat. Orange Circle, 12A - Watch Out This may be for ages 12 and up. May contain bad language, drug use, and gore. Pink Circle, 15 - Caution This may be suitable for ages 15 and up. Under 15 may acquire a parent. Red Circle, 18 - Stop! This film has been designed for older teens and young adults who are 18. Blue Square, R18 - Red Alert This film may contain fetish material that is suitable for adults who are aged 21 and above. And that's all the BBFC ratings.

So Batman Returns basically got an R in the UK? Interesting.

I had these on my looney tunes and Tom and jerry video tapes. There were 2 tapes in one case. I still have then but not a video player :(

memories I forgot I had

Man, those were the days.

Omg i remember these, i remember the U one on Stuart Little (i think?) and one on Cats and Dogs

I know it appears on the late 90s UK VHS release of Goldeneye. I saw it on 'Tomorrow Never Dies'; it would additionally appear on 'The World is Not Enough' (but I don't know about 'Die Another Day', as it was released in 2002).

TikTok brought me straight here, I remember this when I was younger

I watched my first 12 film when I was 11, I looked 12 and I got into the cinema to see A.I because I kept quiet and my Mother saud I was 12, I was only one year younger than 12.

Watership Down Had A U Certificate "It Could Not Seriously Trouble Them Once Them spell the story is broken"

Like many others here I only saw the U and PG ones too. Wouldn't have thought Ace Ventura to be a good example of a 12, felt more like a PG. XD

It definitely is 'Gone with the Wind'; you can see the late Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara and the late Fred Crane as one of the Tarleton twins. This is from the beginning of the movie, when the Tarleton twins talk to her about the war, and all she says is she's not interested.

Am I the only one who's creeped out by these?
