You're not the only one who likes those PAS's. All those messages still make sense in this day and age. Those PSA's where done well, even though they are from the mid 80s.
You’re not alone. These PSAs still hold water even almost 40 years later and they are very wholesome too, and lessons we can all learn in this day and age.

@@soundwave8466 0:04 Transformers Shattered Glass version. (Megatron's PSA) Random Teenage Boy 1: Look at that tank! Shall we have fun with it? Random Teenage Boy 2: No, that'll costing someone's life in our lives. Random Teenage Boy 1: Nah, you're talking nonsense! (Random Teenage Boy 1 hops on board to operate the tank, but SG Megatron transforms to give him safety advice) SG Megatron: It would be safer if you just listen to your friend! Random Teenage Boy: Megatron! I didn't think that you are being for real. SG Megatron: And I am. If you didn't see anybody out in a field, toying with a military combat vehicle. Random Teenage Boy 1: That would make me a bad person without realizing it. SG Megatron: Exactly! Random Teenage Boy 2: That's what I told him. SG Megatron: Remember, it's best if you leave something that someone has used it from before- Random Teenage Boy 1: Just leave it alone, now I know! SG Megatron: And knowing is half the battle! 🎵🎶 TRANSFORMERS 🎵🎶
Some Kid: "You're out!" Other Kid: "Liar! I was safe!" Some Kid: "Out!" Other Kid: "Safe!" The Baroness: "Boys, boys! Vhat are you doing?" All the Kids: "The Baroness!" The Baroness: "There's a very simple vay to solve this: Vhen he least expects it, you kick him in his balls, and zen you punch him in his throat!" [The Baroness kicks Other Kid in the balls, punches him in the throat and drops him cold.] Other Kid: "Gauuugh...ugh...uff...!" Some Kid: "Coooool! So violence _is_ the solution to all our problems! But what if he gets back up?" The Baroness: "Zen he is probably high on PCP, and you should run. Now you know!" All the Kids except Other Kid, who's still on the ground gagging and cradling his balls: "And knowing is half the battle!" COBRAAAAA!!! ...yeah, something like that. :-D
Because the original cartoon was actually aimed towards a younger audience, For kids growing up in the 80s during the Reagan years these were very common
I remember this show with these PSAs as a little kid, and others like it such as JEM, He-Man, and She-Ra, watching with my fraternal twin brother in the ‘80s, before going out to play. We took the lessons to heart. I wish that the ones on team work had been viewed by my brother’s stupid teammates who were notoriously awful towards anyone on their own team for making a mistake, or by the other dancers in my dance classes being hateful when one of us made a mistake.
this is what's missing in today's cartoons - common sense lessons! Somehow people forgot we're not born knowing everything, we have to be taught, sad lack of any teaching or training for kids these days, someone who's able should fix that!
It’s sad because so many kids are left to scroll unsupervised online and wind up idolizing dangerous idiots. It’s not their fault either, they’re just kids and they don’t know any better. There was a recent trend where teenagers were encouraged to steal cars and crash them.
It’s amazing how some things stick with you from a kid. Haven’t watched a gi joe cartoon in 40 years but “knowing is half the battle” just pops into your head your whole life.
I remember taking these PSA to heart as a kid. Thanks to them I always told people that my parents couldn't come to the phone, not to be near water during a thunderstorm, etc.
@@MelancoliaI And what are they gonna retread 30 years from now? Hollywood is already out of ideas, and there are no male action heroes like Arnie or Sly anymore. What, _Terminator: The Final Frontier?_
@@edwardgaines6561 I guess the spirit of my first comment was a little off. Like I'm not some fan chomping at the bit for a G.I. Joe reboot, but I'm merely surprised that the Hollywood Nostalgia Machine hasn't got its clutches on the franchise yet.
I don't like this one at all. Shouldn't Lady J be impressed with the boy cuz he made a long jump? Instead she's praising the girl cuz she did something way easier that anyone can do. Like why praise the girl & make the boy feel dumb & acknowledge his jump like it meant nothing?
@@smiley1722 it bothers me because I don't understand if they're at the right time at the right moment I've always wanted one of them episodes to say can we tell you not to follow us do we have to call the police on you
This is really useful advice. I wish we had this in the 90s... maybe I wouldn't have pulled so many fire alarms to run away from my problems like math tests
@@edwardgaines6561 There should be a PSA for growing teens and some adults. Like what Uncle Phil for the Philip Scott Show channel once said, "Take heed; protect that seed and don't procreate with trifling females."
There are still kid's shows today that teach moral lessons. Only now they're usually worked into the plot of the episode because a common criticism of end-of-episode PSAs is that they met the bare minimal of what could constitute as educational content which allowed writers to make stories completely unrelated to the lesson.
Yeah, cuz no one would learn anything. The kids would scream "Stranger danger!" and the parents would have the Joes arrested for stalking and harassing their children.
Hawk: HOLD ON! Kids: HAWK! Hawk: THAT’S A DANGEROUS GAME YOU TWO ARE PLAYING! LISTEN TO YOUR FRIEND CHRIS. THOSE GATES ARE PROVIDED AS A WARNING TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO CROSS!
11:26 the biggest threat to us kids in the early 80's was not communism or the budding AIDS epidemic...but discarded refrigerators. I lost 30% of my 2nd grade classmates to the refrigerator menace in my neighborhood.
Low-Light is certainly not a great example of a hero for kids at 10:00 by teaching kids that it's proper to pick a fruit and eating it without first playing for it in a supermarket.
Why do I remember these being a lot cooler? EDIT: also Snow Job sounds like Blow Job and that one kid who was on fire how come everyone forgets stop, drop, and roll?
I’ve got a transformer psa that involves Optimus prime telling kids not to run across roads Random boy 1: Hey hurry up we’re gonna be late for the party. Random boy 2: Let’s just run. We’ll get there faster if we run on the road. Random girls 1 and 2: no don’t do it it’s to dangerous. Random boy 2: I don’t care. (As random boy 2 run across the road a truck is coming towards him and he jumps back as the truck transforms in to Optimus Prime.) What do you kids think you were doing there. All the kids together: Optimus prime. Optimus prime: you kids should know that running on the road is not safe at all. Random boy 2: But we would be late for the party. Optimus prime: Would you rather be late or be hurt by a car. Random girl 2: that’s what traffic lights are for. Random girl 1: to stop people running in the road. All kids together: now we know. Optimus Prime: And knowing is half the battle. TRANSFORMERS
I love that all the 80's kids had something that taught us this stuff... you ever watch new kids cartoons? I also loved Pee Wee Herman's Playhouse... so anything I say is likely moot. Knowing is half the battle.
This is where the first season of G.I. Joe Extreme got the idea for Extreme Advices. That being said, I agree with everyone. We do need common sense lessons in this day and age.
I try to show this to my nieces and nephews or at least teach lessons but I think these should be necessary lessons for school and yes update some of them but certain things are still just as obvious but little skits of characters that the kids actually love and knowing half the battle made it seem so cool which it is cooler because of that but the coolest part was it saved lives TV shows that did all those older refrigerators saved lives so GI Joe saved lives you can actually state that When you're stuck on the ice I've learned a lot of course I was never in a position to have to worry about the ice cracking beneath me even though I was out on it technically it was only 2 ft deep the water at this point with a lot of snow and a little bit of ice but didn't crack but I didn't purposely go out there but I slowly went back in listening
1. Billy: "Ohh, who is that big guy, John-John?" 2. Donnie: "Some stranger, man!" Frank: "He said Donnie's mom was hurt!" 3. Eric: "Teamwork makes the dream work!" 4. Sammy: "That's using your head." 5. By hurt you mean, your bodies going flying around once you hit the train. 6. Joey: "Thanks for saving Davey." 7. Teddy: "Help! My clothes are on fire!" Ryan: "RUN FOR THE STREAM!" 8. Blake: "She's as good as us!" 9. Her arms will be fine. 10. Bobby: "Mom, Betty's stomach hurts. What can I do?" 11. The kids are surprised on how they can handle a nosebleed. 12. Mike: "I'd tried to pet a dog, today." 13. Glad they're okay. Otherwise, he'd be singing, "GAME OVER, YEAHHH!" 14. Johnny: "Whoa! Leave me outta this." 15. Nicholas: "My friend Sam was running away from home. Our friend, Shipwreck convinced him not to." 16. Roger: "Glad you figured out what was wrong with you." 17. Greg: "Maybe it's best not to pull a false alarm." 18. Rudy: "Now you understand why I got out!" 19. Ezra: "This is much better than breathing all that stuff." 20. Rick: "Tyrell, now I'm ready for another round." 21. Jack: "A helmet? What are you, some kind of wimp?" Says the guy who eventually gets a mild concussion. 22. Trevor: "Can I help making the treehouse better, Henry?" 23. John: "Let's play hide-and-seek somewhere else." 24. Two boys were spared from electrical shock of a downed moving power line, thanks to the efforts of Roadblock. 25. Eddie: "See ya!" 26. Mike: "Hey, it's Alpine and my scared brother!" 27. Crowd gasps when seeing Billy passing out.
To me he came out more like a Peeping Tom, and since when they put windows for bathrooms? The last time I've checked, the bathroom suppose to be a private sacred place.
