My Top 5 PSA Commercials from the 80's

Back in the 80's they seemed to have a lot of PSA Commercials. Some of them made sense and some of them still make me scratch my head. Here is my list of my favorite... Enjoy!!!

5) Captain O.G. Readmore - This Cool Cat tried to convince you that reading could take you any where. He often sang a song like a rhyming beat poet from the 70's and laughed like Winnie the Pooh's Tigger on Ritalin. Of Course every one knows when he gets drunk he turns into MC Skat Kat... O.k. that isn't true!!!




4) Parents Who Use Drugs. - You have to give credit to this on. This has been around forever and has spawned many copy cats.





 3) MCGRUFF the Crime Dog - A good PSA teaches you something, but a great PSA scares the living shit out of you. That is what MCGRUFF did for me. I could be playing with 60 of my close friends and then bam... we have all been kidnapped.







2) Trees Are Terrific - Thank you Nebraska. You are one of the reddest states and you still want us to fly around with a bird and love the environment.





 1) A Hanker for a Hunka Cheese - This is what we needed back in the day. Some overweight Orange Cowboy telling us what we need to eat. Make sure when you get home from school you eat a lot of cheese. A whole Wagon Wheel worth. That won't back you up for days.
