This is pretty fucking freaky for something targeted at little kids. Jesus fucking Christ. This is like They Live or Videodrome-styled shit.

That's pure unadulterated awesomeness, right there.

Wow, Mr. Yuk.

"Hey, children! Your home is full of monsters that want to kill you, disguised as normal household objects. Sleep tight!"

Here's a Star Wars PSA that parodies the one MAF posted:

Man, it's a wonder that my generation isn't more fucked up than we are. It's seems like marketing departments were still working out some kinks in their mass homogenization of the youth in the early to mid 80s.

Find the one with the kid who dives into the empty pool!

Modern PSAs are all wishy washy and totally ineffective. Did you ever see the "Tobacco is Wacko (if you're a teen)" ads? Talk about a mixed message--"wait a few more years and those adults won't be able to tell you what to do!" was the basic gist. Not, "YOU GONNA DIE."

Yeah, really, they made the tobacco companies PAY for the anti-tobacco PSAs, so of course they get a bit of actual input into them.

You're not going to get kids into line unless you fill them with the fear of constant, permanent death.

From 1989, later than I remember.

Oh, you say you want George Costanza (with hair) dancing and singing about a McDonald's sandwhich?

I can do that :

I always wanted to try this cereal, but never did. It looked like it was just animal crackers in a box.

Fucken 80's, where George has hair and a hamburger with Tomato and Lettuce for a fast food chain warrants a commercial about it

The music in the cenitpede commercial sounds like a song from Phantom of the Opera.

I was hoping someone would find that! They tasted sort of like Kix. That thing had a comic I think, too.

I'm so jealous that you got to taste them. I'm going to die without knowing the taste of a crispy critter.
