Bill Cosby warning us on the danger of uppers & downers is priceless. In hindsight, if anyone knows anything about the way all those drugs affect people, it's Bill.

The crying Indian is probably my favorite PSA out of all, along with the Smokey Bear Bear ads

Pat Paulsen wandering around the junkyard was the top memory-jogger for me.

23;37 cosby warning against the drugs he used to molest ladies for several decades is fucking funny as hell.

Fredflix you've done it again! Old PSAs are my favourite & this is the best collection I've seen yet! The Batman equal pay PSA was so awesome & most of these are still relevant in the today's world.

1:54 - Holy PSA, Batman! 😃

26:12 Mr. Yuk! That commercial scared the stuffing out of me as a kid…and still gives me the willies today!

Jack Benny forgot to say "And I'm not a day over.....thirty-nine......" LOL!

I love the PSA commercial with Haywood Banks from 'What's Happening', Joseph Bologna, Barbara Harris and Lisa Gerritsen, Bess from 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' and 'Phyllis'.

So thr8lled I discovered your channel. I use the internet to alleviate my anxiety and depression and videos like these help me laugh and smile....no drama no fights...just fun

Hell, I saw most of these growing up. And, yeah, the instrumental from "Like Father, Like Son" (as will "Be a Girl") will be stuck in my head all day.

The music from like father like son was also used in a British PSA (we call them public information films or PIFs) about what to do in a plumbing emergency.

I like this very much! I remember the Smokey Bear ad with Joanna Cassidy (Didn't know it was her at the time). I also remember Smokey chuckling after he said "If you knew it was me, would you have listened?" It was weird then and hasn't lost its touch! Thank you FredFlix for the memories and some I haven't seen before now! :)

Very cool compilation and what a trip down memory lane. Thanks!

You remember the public service announcement commercials? ..They need to run this one as a PSA during June

Wow! Hey Fred! There are some psa's on here that I haven't seen in years! No, let me correct myself, in decades! Go job Fred!

I’m less than 5 minutes into this, but I know the music at the beginning is from the “Like father, like son” PSA where it shows Dad washing the car, son plays w squirt gun, then son picks up a pack of Dad’s smokes. A cautionary tale in 30 seconds. Hope to see the one where Abe Lincoln is the smartest guy in the present day (60s) college class. Not bad, Lincoln, not bad. Great compilation!

Great to see these classics again! A few I've never seen the likes of even! Great video! Thanks for posting!

Fred - this video beats all the others HANDS DOWN! I L O V E IT !! best one yet!

Holy crap, I actually got to hear the "buckle up for safety" song my dad would always sing to me as a kid when he drove our family around! How awesome! Also, I thought the anti-drug message geared toward fathers was going to be about child abuse; that poor dad was abused as a child and needed to go to therapy to be a better, kinder father and person! I felt so bad for him! I loved the Batgirl "equal pay" PSA and it's just as relevant today as ever, and I also loved the library PSA because I will always think of libraries as magical repositories of knowledge. Thanks for uploading these PSAs; even the ridiculous ones were entertaining!

Been looking for that Cub Scouts spot for a while - thank you!

Thanks for posting these and in a way they are still relevant today 👍

All your posts are great. Thanks for sharing

I, only, just began watching so, I'm hoping to see Smokey's, "If you knew it was me, would you have listened?" And, only, read the top two comments but, happy(though, not surprised)that "Crying Indian", was included. Oh, my; I, JUST, saw #4!

Nick at Nite used to show that anti-pollution one with the indian back in the early 90s but they'd cut out the first 15 seconds (it originally aired in the early 70s)

The don’t litter campaign was very effective

John Forsythe 10:50 , a message for dads to check themselves 👍

Weird thing is, most of these are still relevant today.

Good stuff! I remember a couple of those. Be A Girl, Cub Scouts, Greg Morris Doing, the Crying Indian. Maybe if you ever do another video compilation you can include "Cross At The Green, Not In Between, Woody Owl and RIF (Reading Is Fundamental).

I actually remember that goofy Girls Club song! :D

I remember a Boy's Club PSA with Frank Sutton (Sgt. Carter).

The Word from Unity: Bird. Have you heard, bird is the word?

The irony of the library one. We get told to go outside now. Even if we’re reading information on our phones

I remember a PSA where C3PO catches R2D2 smoking!

I believe that is Joanna Cassidy in the Smokey the Bear commercial.

The singer on the Girls Club PSA reminds me of Phoebe Buffey!

Thanks for posting these. Alot of them i do recall, some were so entertaining. The first one and next to the last one with Yogi and Boo Boo scared me as a little girl. They still shake me at almost sixty, but it was a good shake!! Thanks again Fredflix.

This was great. I only wish I could have seen one of the old Lung Association commercials from the late 60's with the bongo and drumbeat music at the end (those scared the hell out of me when I was a kid)--but still great! The young black kid in the big brother? snipet at the 21:00 mark---Haywood Nelson--Dwayne from What's Happening!

I'm sure glad jack Benny had that problem fixed!

I have been trying to find one from mormans about forgiveness it was animated

Looking for 70's PSA about dropping out of school. Song was like "Hey drop out be a pop out!" It had a film of bunch of glass bottles with corks that would start pushing the corks out. Some kind of education group?

"Don't guess about DRUGS!!!!!!!" :-D Thanks tor the advice, Bill!!!!!!! :-D

as usual, GREAT job Fred! I remember most of these. (now I'm showing my age LOL)

Fred Fix. maybe you could find this PSA for me. it's from the American heart association dubbed Beat the big one from around 1975. scary as all get out

We need some more PSAs announcement these days. Kids must learn to say no and read books 📚

These are awesome! Thanks so much.

Now this is what I'm talking about, love it 👍

"The word from unity: Fredflix"

Oh God.....that paper mache puppet guy scares the hell outta me.....creepy😲

Bill Cosby was slipping some uppers and downers to the production assistants for the psa

Bill Cosby warning us about roofies? 😐

O my goodness, I have been looking for some of these. I especially remember the first one on the list, and the girls club one.

Good collection!

The one safety belt ad was narrated by Jack Webb from the show Dragnet

5:17 Anyone who didn't recognize this famous actor just by the hair? As soon as that first spotlight lit, I did. :) 13:48 I know the song that was the basis for the "Buckle Up for Safety" ads. How many of you can name it without looking it up? ;) 30:37 A trio of former "Mission: Impossible" stars bringing you "The Word from Unity": first up, Martin Landau; second, Barbara Bain; third, Greg Morris.

Thanks for sharing this.

Old PSAs are really the best

I remember some of these public service announcements which were interesting.

That opening music went to that great anti smoking commercial with the father and son.

How about a PSA-Palooza salute to the military?

Rod Serling did a whole lot of PSA's, including a really weird anti-LSD one. I'm always looking for it.

Very cool

Like father? Like son? Think about it.

forgot about Mr. Yuck

Actually, Eldridge Cleaver turned out okay.

There is one from the 1970s that I'd like to find. It's one that says something like "Where can you read books and listen to records and...." Then, a woman says "At the library!".

People of interest in these PSAs: Jack Benny,Clint Eastwood, Bing Crosby,Dick Cavett,John Forsythe,Rod Serling,Lloyd Bridges,Adam West, Burt Ward,Jackson Weaver,John Wayne,Martin Landau, Barbara Bain,Greg Morris,Yul Brynner.

I've been looking for an American Dental Association PSA that was from the era presented here, it was animated and very trippy, with tooth decay characters dancing on a tooth. Does that sound familiar? I haven't found it on KZfaq...yet!

Bill Cosby is all about the ludes. Skip those uppers!!

I liked the PSA Martin Landau did where he was Karloff’s sidekick.

I like that PSA with Jack Webb's voice.

Thanks for another post! Love these flash-backs! Were you a VJ at one time?

Like Father, like Son? I'm sure glad I didn't turn out like MY Father.

And Chief Iron Eyes was not an Indian.

The Indian one is powerful.

The ones I'm looking for are: Every alien must register! and "Her name is Laurie..." Girl Scouts.

Soon as i hear him i taught, o crap, this aint gonna age well

Iron Eyes Cody came to our Junior high school. I had his autograph, but it has disappeared over these 40+ years.

Can anybody point me toward an old, early 1960s antiwar PSA involving two old men from rival countries fist fighting each other instead of sending their soldiers to war?

The smokey the bear one was creepy

As we all know " Crime doesn't pay . . . As well as politics.

Rod Sterling is a gangster

8:07 The voice of Dick Cavett. 27:13 Pat Paulsen. 36:04 Peter Thomas. His voice was everywhere! 😉 1:56 The voice of William Dozier, the narrator on Batman.

Submitted for your approval.A lit 🚬 cigarette smolders in the forest and becomes a raging wildfire.You are in the Twilight Zone.Cue the Theme Song.dodododododododo.

is that kid @2;52 Heywood nelson ? Dwayne from whats happening?

I think some of these people who make these drug public announcements were on some drugs holy crap

I paused after the opening. Without seeing it I know exactly where they got the opening music for this video. It is from an old anti smoking PSA that shows a little boy with his dad all day and the kid wants to do all the things his dad does. At the end the dad sparks up a cig and the kid looks like he wants one too. Like father...like son?

It seems like the announcer on the Television Code 8:20 did dozens of PSA's.

Hey FredFlix that's a pretty sweet collection of PSAs, thanks for uploading!!!! I'm actually looking for an old anti racism PSA that was made in the late 80s or early 90s. And I was wondering if you could help me identify it. In the video there is a white man walking up some steps, and parallel to him is a black man walking up the same steps. They are both walking briskly in silence and you could cut the tension with a knife. Neither man says a word, and they are slowly walking closer and closer to each other. Finally they both take out their hands to reach for a handrail that separates them. As this happens, a narrator says something along the lines of " You would think they could get along at a place like this." The video pans up from the handrail to their faces and then to the building they were both walking to : a church!!!!!! Does this PSA ring a bell? Better yet do you have it? lol . :-) . Well lmk and thanks for the good work!!!!

I want to see that PSA on Equal Pay with Batgirl running on TV stations TODAY! It is more relevant than EVER!!

I don't think Batman was totally committed to that script

Can you imagine getting paid less than Robin!?!

What was that "Adoption" commercial about at 20:54?

Have you see a PSA advocating 8 physical touches a day to maintain health?

The PSA about it being common, but a completely FALSE notion that eating eith alcohol "soaks up" or even lessens, the consequences of alcohol needs make a comeback. But thanks to lobbyists on the behalf of alcohol companies, you won't see that anymore, especially not in America, where we used to have enough pride to do so.

Phasers on impressed.

The Batman PSA at 2:00 explains why Batman was canceled. Batgirl didn’t get equal pay for her job as a superhero in season 3, Batman and Robin were killed when the bomb exploded, and the rest is history.

What the heck was the PSA around 22:33 even supposed to be for?!? I mean, clearly it's about prejudice in a larger sense, but what organization or cause? In a related question: there's a PSA that I've remembered since the '70s, in which a father is walking along through the woods with his son and they are talking about his son's friends. Both father and son are white, and the boy keeps saying things like, "Michael, my Jewish friend, says..." . "My black friend, Joey..." And his dad cuts in to ask why he doesn't just refer to them as his friends,. As a little white girl, I found this ad made such an impression on me that to this day, while I may mention a friend's race or religion if it's relevant, it is never the first thing I mention about anyone. Any idea what organization sponsored this one?

One PSA I remember is the one with a fat woman running with a big dog; much later, we see on a doorstep a newspaper with a photo of the said fat woman and dog, dead

I was going to say because there wasn't any point for it to be a public service announcement. I thought, what? Let's have more prejudiced families take in black children?
