public service announcements have long
been a means of conveying important
messages though some resort to
particularly extreme methods this is
what your family goes welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten
disturbing PSAs
for this list we’re examining those PSAs
that most disturb and unsettle us
addressing serious issues and subject
matter in a particularly horrific manner
whether they tackle drug use workplace
safety or abusive relationships the
effectiveness of these PSAs is only
matched by their unrelenting visual
Horrors
number ten jumped she’d get choked
alongside their boyfriend PSA I love my
boyfriend we’ve been together since like
eighth grade he’s my best friend this
advertisement is part of the Montana
Meth project scam Payne against the use
of methamphetamine Porsha taking that
shortcut to that empty parking lot
she’d gotten jumped jumped illustrates a
what-if scenario in which a young man is
brutally beaten a fate he’d prefer over
his addiction to meth course then broken
marriage put me in a hospital watching
him get accosted and violently attacked
he’s shocking enough before we’re
greeted with a far grimmer sight the
young man alone and physically emaciated
because of drug use I went to that party
I did meth it’s certainly not shy about
the point it wants to drive home my
newest myth number nine bath salts it’s
not a fad never before has a
first-person perspective been so
horrific this video produced by the
United States Navy lets the audience see
things from the viewpoint of an ordinary
man who consumes bath salts all seems
normal at first before we’re treated to
sights such as vomiting hallucinations
of monsters and the implication that the
men were following is on the verge of
death the PSA then segues into an
overview of the threat of bath salts
given by a Navy officer who makes it
perfectly clear how dangerous this
particular trend happens to be when
people are using bath salts they’re not
their normal selves they’re angrier
they’re erratic they’re violent and
they’re unpredictable number eight work
accident it’s short but no less shocking
for its length tackling the subject
matter of workplace accidents this video
for Quebec health and work safety
commission is set in a factory filled to
the brim with large extremely dangerous
industrial machines one employee elects
to put on his headphones and activate
one such machine
without verifying whether it’s safe to
do so thus to the horror of all present
a life is lost in Swift and graphic
fashion and we are left with a sense of
dread and respect for workplace safety
number seven if you could see yourself
would you stop yourself join a bit of
film before your parents get but for
some it seems that crossing a line is
all too easy developed by the UK
government abuse in relationships is a
video in there would you stop yourself
series of PSAs let’s just watch this I I
don’t know my mom’s gonna be back no no
the video in question has a young couple
come into conflict when the boy upset
that his girlfriend doesn’t want to
engage in sexual activity turns violent
don’t talk to me like that what cements
both the unsettling nature of the
situation and the bigger question at
play is that a visualization of the boys
conscience begins calling out from
behind an invisible wall can we just
like me really Amy okay yeah it prevents
it
it’s truly heart-wrenching to behold you
can ask to put some work in to get me
ready now well go on then show me
something number six the faster the
speed the bigger the mess sometimes
long-term consequences can be just as
affecting as the immediate trauma case
in point this road Safety Authority add
transitions from an abrupt car crash to
it’s tragic aftermath and impact on the
survivors victims die or are left
crippled the perpetrator is taken to
court is quite clear that you were
driving too fast to cope with the
unexpected various families devastated
it all contributes to an atmosphere of
guilt and fear that works to the psays
advantage and that’s before getting into
the videos use of the of Rutten song I
can’t take my eyes off you
the faster the speed the bigger the mass
number five anti child abuse
up until the end subtlety is key
commissioned by the Council of Europe
this PSA commences with a young girl
crying in a forest being approached by
an older man who’s implied to be her
father with the implication of sexual
abuse having occurred little by little
the girl appears to resign herself to
silence and isolation even while
surrounded by merriment and celebration
if the lingering pain of coping with
abuse isn’t clear by that point watching
the girl contemplates suicide by
drowning in the videos final moments
will clarify matters poignant Lee number
4
it rarely stops if a picture is worth a
thousand words then this speaks a great
deal about the nature of abuse the
concept here is simple a bloodied and
bruised woman stands before the camera
attempting to wipe away her injuries as
the video goes on her injuries grow more
dire blood begins to seep from her nose
and all signs point to this woman’s
suffering being constant thus the point
is made just before she abruptly turns
as the PSA ends leaving us in awe and
quiet horror number three there really
are no accidents the sous-chef here with
any luck I should be head chef by next
year one of several public service
announcements on the nature of workplace
accidents this restaurant accident puts
the viewer face-to-face with an
up-and-coming sous-chef bright and
optimistic she quickly underlines the
trauma to come by commenting on the
circumstances behind her forthcoming
accident that’s amazing fiance
I won’t be marrying this weekend because
I’m about to be in a terrible accident
it’s horrific enough to watch someone
with such potential become crippled but
the video manages to evoke a creeping
fear and a sense of remorse at what this
woman may lose but really I should have
clean up the grease over there and they
should never put the deep fryer so cool
this PSA gives us chills just thinking
about it
number two shame on you
reminds me of childhood memory well
you’ve got our attention now that’s for
sure in order to hammer home the
importance of road safety the government
of Northern Ireland produced a public
service announcement on the matter the
video shows a class of children going on
a trip to the woods intercut with clips
of a man driving a creeping sense of
fear builds until the climactic moment
where the man loses control of his car
and crashes killing the children in the
process we’re positive people aren’t
likely to forget this PSAs message
anytime soon speeding has killed a
classroom of our children Oh shame on
you
you can never control the consequences
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions heart attack
five nine hundred pounds thirty two
years old uh hell does that at first
only gays and IV drug users were being
killed by aids but now we know every one
of us could be devastated by it
I’m so sorry I thought there was time
you just pulled out I don’t have time to
stop well come on mate him was a simple
mistake number one how do our children
see us children deserve better and this
ad knows it
thus this PSA by the campaign fragile
childhood fully embraces its premise of
kids being haunted by a variety of
monsters clowns rabbit headed people
Reapers all these beings lurk about and
assert control over children a metaphor
for how children view alcohol consuming
parents unsettling and even saddening as
it is this monster filled ad is all the
more impactful or conveying its message
without a single line of dialogue truly
this is a powerful call to action
do you agree with our list what do you
feel is the most disturbing PSA this is
what happens to your brain after
starting heroin this certain body goes
for more thought-provoking top 10s
