#109 – PSAs OF THE 1980s
POOP CULTURE: “Some vandal is taking a bite out of our consonants.” (1980-1988) After school and on the weekends were animated times across kids’ tv sets. If it wasn’t scheming Decepticons and imaginative Muppet Babies it was … school yard addictions… ahm … drunkards in the parking lot … your dad’s stash of coke. And apparently all we could do was just say no. Well, today Users and Losers can unite as Bob and Tim crack open some of the most infamous PSAs to ever air after school. And what they find might be more insidious than just a dog in a trench coat. Look … we might be talking … a wagon wheel.

01:09:05 PUBLICLY DIFFERING OPINIONS- and Chow Daddy
01:12:38 CLOSINGS - contacts, plugs and no catch phrase
01:15:51 BONUS FEATURES - Clown on the premises
See some kids loose their s**t over the piano stylings of their favorite anthropomorphic law officer with this VINTAGE DON’T USE DRUGS PSA FEATURING MCGRUFF.
Freak out to the full-on acid trip of the OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR USERS ARE LOSERS BY REGINA.
Take a bite out of this 1980S COMMERCIAL FOR WHATCHAMACALLIT CANDY BARS that Tim was referencing.
Get schooled by your favorite NBC stars (AND the guy from RIPTIDE) in one of two nearly half hour ONE TO GROW ON PSA COMPILATIONs.
Wonder what wires got crossed to cause KITT to refer to him as both David AND Michael in this KNIGHT RIDER ANTI-MARIJUANA PSA FROM 1985.
Flee in fear from the tap-dancing harmonizing home invaders of this ANTI-LYING PSA FROM THE CHURCH OF LATTER DAY SAINTS.
Witness the origins of Bob’s culinary safety practices with this BUGS BUNNY'S OUNCE OF PROTECTION PSA.
Learned what it was he learned and from whom he learned it from watching with perhaps the most infamous of 80s ads, the I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU ANTI-DRUG PSA.
Shiver to the skinless dance-steps of the SLIM GOODBODY GOOD BODY GROOVE (and then flush you eyes out as they’re most likely infected).
And, finally, induce vomiting with the lunch tray contents of this CHOW DADDY PSA FROM TH 1980S.
