    This question has been in the back of my mind for a long a while, but don't you all think that the anti-smoking ads were a lot cooler than anti-juling ads, because they were practically horror movir trailers? :blobunsure:

    Sure, talking rats are cool, but can they do something a bit more...entertaining? :blobpopcorn_two:

    Honestly, this is still one of my favourite drink-drive ads and I wish all of them were as entertaining:

    Not "horror" but overdramatized the actions of smoking IMO. It reminds me of this

    Most anti-smoking ads I have seen usually just show the worst-case scenario and talk facts. Not really horror, but as I said, there are a few ads and people that made them that took it too far.

    I probably already posted this once but my co-worker loved to show this Canadian accident prevention video to new employees:



    After that, he would tell everyone that all the things in a restaurant kitchen are trying to kill you.

    You made a mistake, add "anti-smoking" to the end of it.

    Anti julling ads are hilarious, as I always wondered whether there a parent seeing that and using its content to convince their child. Trying to be contemporary and everything, too.

    The last antismoking ad I remember in my country was totally an horror film. Not because of the content but because of how bad it was.

    It's in Spanish but I'm going to share so everyone can cringe to it.
