What’s the Big Hurry?



Perhaps the most surreal and post-apocalyptic safe-driving PSA of all times. But then again, 1974 was a trippy year.

Table Manners



We've finally solved this problem: families simply don't eat home-cooked meals together anymore!

Mission accomplished!

One Got Fat



"Slim knew that his big sack would be hard to handle."

This an exceedingly macabre PSA aimed directly at kids.

Sexy Fingers



Massively NSFW--except insofar as it's a public health PSA.

Jay Can Do It



As the YouTube commentator says--and I paraphrase--"What the hell was the point of this film?!?"

Let's look at Jay, the hero.

1) Likes to bake.

2) Can't use a hammer.

3) Owns a poodle.

4) Sets up housekeeping with a fellow male.

5) Admires a man in uniform.

6) "Jay is musical."

7) Carries a pocketbook-style basket.

It's an early gay-pride PSA!
