(Oh no, it's a PewDiePie impostor)
Moooomm!
Aiden cut me in half agaaaainnn!!
Kid: Moooomm!
Kid: Mooom!
Kid: Aiden cut me in half again!
OH MY GOD (Yeah so lit bro)
Yeah, I totally remember it
How's it going friends, it's RobertIDK here
And...I am Canadian, in case you weren't aware (Duh)
I am Canadian
And that means I-uh-I grew up in Canada
I'm not very good at this intro here(I can agree)
I wanted to show you guys something today
I thought it would be funny to show some of the commercials that we had
growing up in Canada
There were some really weird stuff on TV (Uh-huh)
Some stuff that is sort of questionable,as far as,you know, why are you playing this in between children's cartoons?
It's so nostalgic for me,because I totally remember all of these commercials and PSA'S so well
I needed to show you guys some of them
I actually narrowed it down to 5 Canadian PSA'S that are just REALLY REALLY weird,and I'm going to show you them
Alright, coming in at #5
We've got, 'What's your thing'
OH MY GOD you guys are gonna love this one
*Commercial plays*
*Robert starts playing an air guitar*
*Intense music intensifies*
Kid: What's your thing?
What's your thing? *strange noise*
So this is an ad called 'What's Your Thing'
and it's basically about teaching kids to you know,find things things that they're interested in,
and things they can sort of identify with
So for me,you'd say,
"Robert what's YOUR thing?"
and I would say like uh- "memes dude,"
or like "music" or whatever
Um,but yeah this is-this is the commercial
*Intense music once more*
Kid and Robert: What's your thing?
Kid: Bugs Robert: Bugs!*cringes*
*Robert is disgusted*
Really?
Kid: Everybody gotta have a thing!
Everybody *mumbling*...a shay!
Okay the next part is the best
Kid: My thing is sound effects,here's a t-rex
Kid: *Weird roar,if you can even call it that*
Kid:AAAAAHHHH
*Robert laughs*
What the fuck?*still laughing*
This is the part I remember-I remember this part!
This is the part I always quote
"My thing is sound effects,here's a t-rex,"
*Roars loudly*
Okay!
I know this was millions of years ago,
and we don't know actually know what dinosaurs sounded like,
but I don't think that's what a t-rex sounds like dude
*more roars*
*kid starts running to camera and screaming*
*cheeky zoom in*
Moooooom!
Aiden cut me in half again!
Kid: Moooom!Mooom!Aiden cut me in half again!
OH MY GOD!*laughs*
Yeah I totally remember it!
Oh my God,and you know what's funny?
Is my mom actually knew this kid,Aiden
He's actually a magician!
Um anyway,that's another story!
We got some tap dancing!
Oh this is cool...
Kid: Nobody is good at everything
Kid: Everybody is good at something!
The thing about this dude is good at is collecting bugs on a tray
Kid: What's your thing?
For real I dig this commercial! I really dig this commercial!
I do think people should you know, find things that they can identify themselves with and things that they're good at,
things that they like to do,stuff like that
That's something I preach a lot,honestly
Um,I dig this commercial a lot!It's so iconic and I remember all of the lines from this commercial
"Nobody's good at everything!"
"Everybody's good at something!"
Okay #4!
?: Hey!What you watchin'?
TV: Me! (That is terrifying...)
TV: I'm just a TV!
TV: I mean,i'm not even human!
TV: Yup!
TV: You've got the remote control!
TV: You can change channels if you don't like what you're watchin'
So this is uh-our TV,i'm pretty sure the point of this commercial,
was to say like you're in control of what you watch,don't watch stupid bullshit?
*giggle*
TV: You can flick me on and off
TV: On and off!
TV: Woah hehe,i'm gettin' dizzy!
TV: You see?You're smarter than me
Thanks dude :D
TV: Yep I sure wish I was as smart as you hehe!
TV and Robert: Somebody get this cat off my head!
Cat and Robert: MEOWWW!
*Cute laughing Robert*
TV: You can talk to your best friends,your mom and dad, about all the stuff on you see on TV!
Oh my god I remember this show!
This show was called 'UH OH!'
Oh there it is!
'UH OH!'
This was a Canadian game show where they dumped slime on people!
Oh my God 'UH OH!' was the shit man!
Anyways,sorry it's Canadian stuff
TV: And besides,you have choices!
TV: You got books and sports and you can go outside and play!
TV: *Sighs* I'm just a TV you're the smart one
Robert and TV: So long see you next time!
I don't know exactly what the point of this ad was
I think it was to say like,"hey kids,be smart about what you're watching!"
Like i'm 22 and i'm not exactly sure what the point was
So,me as a kid obviously I had no idea what they were really saying,
but yeah!This is a classic.This is a classic commercial!
Okay!Okay!That's enough of that one!
Alright #3! #3!
We got 'The Trap' and when I say the trap,I'm not talking about like-
*Robert does a quick dance to music*
Anyway
That's not the trap we're talking about,this is a different trap
Uh and you're gonna-you're gonna see!
Mouse 1: Guess what? Mouse 2: What?
Mouse 1: Can you keep a secret? Mouse 2: Maybe,what is it?
Mouse 1: *Gestures for Mouse 2 to come over* C'mere!
Mouse 1: Look!
Mouse 2: WOOOW!
*Imitates Mouse 2*WOOOOOW!
Mouse 1: See isn't that neat? Mouse 2: What is it?
Mouse 1: I don't know!But I found it first so it's mine!
No don't do it dude you're gonna friggin' die!
Mouse 1: It sure looks like something to eat doesn't it?
Mouse 1: Hmm
Robert:don't do it!I mean it doesn't actually look like good cheese it actually looks like a bunch of paint and like..
Well I mean that's what it is,but -
Mouse 2: Hey!Don't touch it if you don't know what it is!
Mouse 1: Why?
Mouse 1: What's wrong?
You hear that?You hear that kids?Don't touch it if you don't know what it is!
Mouse 2: I just think if we don't really know what it is we shouldn't touch it,it might hurt us!
Mouse 1: Well then what should we do?
Tell an adult!
Tell an adult!!
Right?Right?Is that it?
Mouse 2: And I think if we DON'T know we should ask!
Mouse 1: Ask who?
Mouse 2: Someone that knows about stuff like this!
Mouse 1: You mean like mom or uncle Fred?
Mouse 2: Yeah!
Or uncle Fred!No don't ask uncle Fred,he's a friggin' crack addict!No sorry
Bad joke!
Mouse 2: Just because somebody leaves something lying around doesn't mean it's okay for us to play with
Mouse 1: Well I found it so I get to tell first!
Mouse 2: Hey! Wait for me!
*Robert fake laughs as the mice run away into the distance*
Deep voiced man: A message from Concerned Children Advertisers
Thank you Concerned Children Adverti-
See that one's a lot more clear as far what it's about
Its basically saying,
If you don't know what something is
You shouldn't eat it,you shouldn't touch it,
You shouldn't do anything
If you're curious you should ask your mom or your dad,
or uncle Fred
ROBERT.EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING
Alright #2!
I love this one so so much!
Any Canadians,if there's one that you're gonna remember
It's probably this one,
FRIGGIN HOUSE HIPPOS
*Awkward laugh*
Narrator: The North American House Hippo is found through out Canada and the Eastern United States
Narrator: House Hippos-
Just in case anyone doesn't get it so far th-th-they're not,
they're actually not found through out Canada and the United States
Narrator: But they would defend their territory for the vote
Narrator: They come out at night
This looks so real!
This came out in like,the late 90's...I think
I didn't know they had this kind of technology back then,
this looks really good for the time it came out
Narrator: The favorite foods of the House Hippo are chips,raisins,and the crumbs-
The crumbs of toast with peanut butter!
Narrator: Of peanut butter on toast-
Peanut butter on toast! (Robert your memory failed you!)
Narrator: They put their nests in bedroom closets using lost mittens,dryer lint and bits of string
So at this point,young Robert is thinking,
"oh my God,this is the coolest shit ever!"
"Mom,can we get a House Hippo?!?!?!"
I probably-I think I actually asked my mom,"hey can we get a House Hippo?"
But now it is time for the big plot twist of this-of this PSA
Narrator: Up to 16 hours a day (I think he was talking about how many hours the House Hippo sleeps)
Female Narrator: That looked really real...
Female Narrator: But you knew it couldn't be true didn't you?
Female Narrator: That's why it's good to think about what you're watching on TV
Female Narrator: And ask questions,kind of like you just did
Well see the issue is the question I just asked was,"mom,can we get a House Hippo?"
Not "hey,are House Hippos real?"
*Short laugh*
I think when this came out I actually assumed that House Hippos were a real thing,
cause this commercial is so well done! Like they make it look like a real wild life documentary!
I-I totally thought that House Hippos were a real thing when I saw this ad
I totally thought it was legit
Buster(from Arthur): You really think someone could do that? Just go on TV and tell lies?
*Robert chuckles*
Even though it says in the end like-
*quotes the commercial* You knew it couldn't be true
I-I thought it was real,I totally did
*Giggles*
But the thing is,like the moral is"yeah don't believe in everything you see on TV,"
but to me all I got out of it was, "wait House Hippos aren't real?"
*Laughs*
That's all I cared about! They showed me the coolest shit ever!
And then just told me,"hey,yeah it's not real never mind"
ROBERT.EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING
Okay that one's a classic,House Hippos are a damn classic
BUT,there's ONE Canadian PSA that tops the whole list at #1 we got...
'Don't you put it in your mouth!'
*Laughs briefly for a short amount of time*
Okay check this shit out!
Narrator: Why do you think your mummy or daddy are always telling you,"don't put that in your mouth,"
Well when they were telling me to not put things in my mouth I was to young too young to understand English
So I-y-you got me there!
Narrator: Lets find out!
♫ Don't you put it in your mouth! (Don't you put it in your mouth!) ♫
♫ Don't you stuff it in your face! (Don't stuff it in your face!) ♫
