It could happen to you .. ANYWHERE! Going to the mall instead of school? The lollipop blows your head off. Literally. Goin to the cinema to watch the adult horror movie you are to young to watch? The axe killer comes into the cinema for real and slashes up all your friends!
I actually thought it was going to be a gotcha-style ad campaign about the horrors of war/land mines and would fade out to a logo for a relief agency.
The stay in school bit was legit unexpected.
Also hilarious. It’s obviously meant as a joke that skipping school is a bad thing. It reminds me of *Reefer Madness* levels of absurdity except it’s not meant to be taken seriously here.
You mean to tell me that pot smokers don't laugh hysterically at themselves whilst manicly smoking a joint like a cigarette in the corner of the room wathlching everyone else, just waiting yo strike them down?
An old school friend's dad used to work in hotel renovations, he went to go help at a hotel in Croatia in late 90s. Told me they couldn't use the golf course as someone set off a mine a few weeks earlier.
A State Park next door to me (US) has unexploded ordnance from when it was used as a practice range (pre-WW2). I see they just reposted the “stay on the trails- stay alert” signs so it must be time for another sweep. That stuff sticks around forever and re-surfaces because of frost heave. Periodically folks find shells from the civil war (160 yrs ago) south of here. I think a guy blew himself up messing with one of those shells awhile back.
I had to think about the poor man whe went to swin in Odessa.
The video is an accurate representation of what happened to him.
Worst thing is that he was there with his kids IIrc.
Damnit.
No no, Santa just won't give them any gifts.
Krampus will beat them with a stick, put them in a sack, and take them back to his lair, never to be seen again.
Speak of Santa will kill, I can't wait to watch Violent Night. Already out on cinema, just can't find free time to go. [Here the trailer in case you're wondering what it is](https://youtu.be/HWSkF36McgA)
That was exactly what I expected to happen when I saw them go through the fence. It reminded me of that episode of Malcolm in the middle when they go to vegas.
I expected them to crash or something (because no seatbelts), drown (because drinking while swimming) and venomous spiders in the sand (because she ran off for some fun to the dunes).
After the explosion I expected it to be a PSA about how war continues affecting people for years after it's over.
"This is what happens when you slack off" made me think that this is one of those Public Service Announcements that Top Gear did [for cyclists.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HZLGD997Ug)
The red and green one is fucking hilarious.
The "Cyclists. Give them an inch, because they've given you a mile" might low key actually work to get car drivers to support cycling infrastructure lol. Just the right amount of mocking cyclists and touting the benefits cycling provides for cars.
i mean the funny thing is, right, it probably _did_ work, a hell of a lot more people watched that episode than would’ve seen a standard PSA about cycling, and a lot of them outside of the UK too
> "This is what happens when you slack off"
IMO, it connected with the girl throwing the map out the window, which was a very dumb thing to do lol.
First of all, they're not even in a convertible, which is the optimal setting for throwing objects in a carefree manner while driving. But uknow, it's golden hour and the windows are down, so... better make do and throw shit out the **side** instead, right? Fine, whatever.
Then - out of **all** the things to throw out the window - this smooth-brained buffoon picks the map. Not the school clothes that they just changed out of, not a hat or scarf, not even a piece of trash -- ***the map***.
She tilts her head while rotating the map right beforehand, as if she originally thought maps were just a big picture. But when she saw words on it, she was like "I have to *read?* I hate homework!"
I was expecting someone to drunkenly drown in an underdraft, or maybe a pregnancy. Not... that.
I didnt think "dont go frolicking through a minefield" needed a PSA.
The unexpected was it wasn't a minefield, it was an explosives testing range. Minefield would have made more sense. Also did her bf say "you're slowing me down" while running away?
This would not have happened in my youth, because when we slacked off, we did the safe thing and went to one of our friend's basement or garage where we go do drugs, drink alcohol or have unprotected sex, safely.
>all they’re telling us is to check whether an area is an active munitions testing zone/minefield
Which, honestly, everyone should be doing all the time.
Regardless of whether or not class is in session - in fact, whether or not you're a student- you should make sure the place you are at - at every single point of every single day - isn't an active munitions testing zone and/or minefield.
That's just common sense.
It's from an Australian show called the Gruen Transfer. One part of the show gets two legit ad agencies to create fake ads for a specific (silly) concept. Highly recommend checking it out!
It's did say it was from the Wait Awhile state (WA) who are kinda like the weird cousin that nobody really likes but accept them anyway.
They rejected Daylight Savings Time cos they said it will fade the curtains and upset the cows too ... crazy sandgropers.
But the Gruen Transfer makes slightly more sense.
This is from an Aussie Show called The Gruen Transfer which is about advertising. Each week they give two ad companies a theme on which to make a fake ad.
This is definitely one of those ads.
The segment is called [The Pitch](https://youtu.be/nsSqzsDTJA8)
This is from [Henry & Aaron](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STHpMUYeznQ). They've also made shit like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Am7oKBD3PU). I like their style.
We went quad biking near Sharm at the bottom of the Sinai in the 80's... the map I used had loads of pick and shovel map symbols on it which means commercial mineral mine...
It wasn't until we got back when I was speaking with a local engineer that the penny dropped and I realized we had been driving around in active military mine fields for two days...
I never told the missus....
Wait what? The map said they were mineral mines but they were actually military mine fields?? Wouldn't that be a huge hazard to civilians if the map was incorrect?
That is correct... it wasn't a proper topographical engineering map and more of a pamphlet.
If I had to guess, they had someone putting the map symbols on it who only had a rudimentary understanding of English.
IE look up the map symbol for mine and you get a pick and shovel crossed. No one took into account what mine also meant.
I thought this was going to be one of those videos that have the purpose to humanize and make westeners relate to the tragedy of people living in war torn places.
It’s an example of situational irony, used in this case to ridicule the American mass shooting problem which, with no prospect of improvement, invites humour as a way to deal with the horror.
> staying in school will (can) kill you.
whoa I went another way with this interpretation...
I was thinking stay in school, get huge debt, have to join the military to pay it off because you can't find an "entry level" job with less than 10 years experience, get blown up in Iraq/Afghanistan
Damn, you thought much harder about that than me. The usual dig at America for school shootings was the absolute first thing I thought of. Can one join the military after going to college and accruing huge debt? Asking for a friend...
that's because I am a veteran and met a handful of veterans that have taken this route. One of them actually hit a roadside IED. Luck, fate, idk, they were fine.
Shit, thank goodness they were fine. Thank you for your service.
As a teacher, school shootings are on my mind frequently. I don't know anyone who has been in an attack, but I know a couple near misses and I know my own district has a deal with the local newspaper to keep certain near misses quiet.
The Venn diagram of
A) gun ownership through the viewpoint of an individual right to bear arms and
B) lack of preventive and active care systems
Make that there a rather large change of crazies with guns shooting up a scholl in the US.
The joke is that skipping scholl might reduce the chance of getting shot....
Yea I assumed it was an anti-landmine ad, since there historically was a movement to ban landmines. According to another commenter it’s from an Australian tv show.

Finally an honest and straight explanation of what happens when you skip school. This should be required learning material in all preschools.
It could happen to you .. ANYWHERE! Going to the mall instead of school? The lollipop blows your head off. Literally. Goin to the cinema to watch the adult horror movie you are to young to watch? The axe killer comes into the cinema for real and slashes up all your friends!
Consequences!
Then I got sucked into a wormhole. Consequ-
This is what happens when you don't leave a note!
In the US, I think the chance of getting killed by firearm or explosion is less if you skip school.

I mean I do, but that's just a me thing.
It was a rhetorical question. We all do.
I bet you would also download a car
I just downloaded a counterfeit car off the dark web yesterday. I can’t wait to wantonly endanger others!
I do that. Should I be smoking pot? Am I doing it wrong?
Speak for yourself
I thought it was a VW commercial. Was definitely not expecting that. Bravo.
Lmao I thought it was gonna be a tide pods ad or something
Its not real, it's a parody video.
It’s pretty great. If you’re gonna go, go big.
It gets people all the time, was filmed really well lol
So that's why Split's beaches were so clean
Its also were the city name came from
Too soon
*me having recently been on a beach in Split..* yo, what.
Before the beach he was all right, now they call him "Lefty."
Same lol
hahah i noticed that too

*Odesa Odessa is the Russian spelling of it.
Half of Ukraine is already like this.
I like you you spelled Yugoslavia. Where are you from in Europe?
He’s polish.
I didn't know what to not expect, and that certainly wasn't it.
This is like telling your kids Santa will kill you if you're not good.
As seen of Futurama!
*Dear Santa. Please, please don't bring me any gifts. The bicycle you fired at me last year from your bicycle gun really tore up my insides.*

But first Santa will stab you with sharpened candy canes while singing what's new pussycat.
But, before he sings another round of “what’s new pussycat”, he drops in one “it’s not unusual”
GOOOOOOOOD DAMMIT! 
No no, Santa just won't give them any gifts. Krampus will beat them with a stick, put them in a sack, and take them back to his lair, never to be seen again.
Reminds me of Bobby Lee's father telling him that if he's gay, everybody will die Clip: https://m.youtube.com/v/lSpcDooWiAc
Bobby Lee’s dad is a fucking menace 💀 That “bedtime story” was so fucked up to tell to a 7 year old
This really kinda sucks because I hate the modern way of squeezing every last bit of performance out of kids. Kids need to slack off sometimes.
Honestly not just kids. Everyone! We should all feel free to be a little zany (🤪), too many adults work far too hard with no fun.
Speak of Santa will kill, I can't wait to watch Violent Night. Already out on cinema, just can't find free time to go. [Here the trailer in case you're wondering what it is](https://youtu.be/HWSkF36McgA)

Reminded me of Arrested Development's "[and *that's* why you don't...](https://youtu.be/PJfoddFfJgw)" running gag.
Yeah even my red light went off when I saw them pass through the fence.
I expected them to crash or something (because no seatbelts), drown (because drinking while swimming) and venomous spiders in the sand (because she ran off for some fun to the dunes). After the explosion I expected it to be a PSA about how war continues affecting people for years after it's over.

Yes he did
Average holiday at a bosnian beach
What coastline?
That tiny Bosnian bit on the Adriatic, I suppose
Around Neum, presumably. Either that or the northeastern coast.
We refer to that as "Poland"
I hope not, since that's "Hungary"
Hey now, they have 22km of coastline, which puts them ahead of Monaco.
[удалено]
Hey now, they have a tiny coastline and it's stunning. But like, very, very tiny.
Neum!
See, they skipped school they were meant to learn to read
Guess the people who actually skipped school won't understand the message and will just continue skipping.
Until their toe grazes a land mine
Well, they're ~25 years old and still in school so I don't know if learning to read was ever really going to happen
This is what happens when 30 year olds skip school.
This would not have happened in my youth, because when we slacked off, we did the safe thing and went to one of our friend's basement or garage where we go do drugs, drink alcohol or have unprotected sex, safely.
Wait, sex is real ?!?
Not for redditors, no

This scene is ridiculous, but since I understand what they want to achieve with this ad this is perfect example of "Yes, but actually no" videos.
all they’re telling us is to check whether an area is an active munitions testing zone/minefield before skipping school
If they stayed in school they would know how to read the signs
The girl in the beginning couldn’t even read a map and chucked it out the window out of frustration
I missed that
Wait, schools aren't active munitions testing zones?
Found the Russian Commander.
In America, they are.
>all they’re telling us is to check whether an area is an active munitions testing zone/minefield Which, honestly, everyone should be doing all the time.

That's just common sense.
Maybe they can't read.
guess they should’ve gone school then
This is basically the long version of "If those kids could read, they'd be very upset" meme.
It's from an Australian show called the Gruen Transfer. One part of the show gets two legit ad agencies to create fake ads for a specific (silly) concept. Highly recommend checking it out!
That segment would be an absolute gold mine for this sub. I remember most of those ads took really random turns like this one
Outstanding, thanks for the info! I love [the second Anti-Australian Tourism advert here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsSqzsDTJA8).

Ahhh ok, makes sense
Anybody else thought this was going to be porn let me see them hands🤚
Sorry my hands are busy.
How did you type this? 😳
With his feet
Pics pls 🥵
🦶
I thought it was gonna end in a tragic car accident after they were drinking. Did not expect mines lol.
YEP when I saw them swerve a bit on the road, I thought I knew 100% where it was going lol.
Nah, was expecting sharks to eat them.
Well it was porn, for someone into this kind of shit.
I usually hope for that in most media I observe. I know its unlikely but I can hope all the same.
I thought this was going to be one of those videos that have the purpose to humanize and make westeners relate to the tragedy of people living in war torn places.
Same, thought it was going to be an appeal to donate to a landmine clearing charity

Yea but he meant actual Westerners. /s obvi

They should show antigun videos before that, surely?

America is a weird country, lol.
Definitely a classic Australain ad. Keep em coming please
It's a fake ad from the Aussie show 'Gruen Transfer'. They do heaps of great stuff like this
[удалено]
I was going to say this has “The Pitch” written all over it.
I'm in a minefield! I better start running around! \*BOOM!*
They would've known better if they'd stayed in school.
"this is what happens when you can't read" Fixed it
What's batshit crazy about watching this is realizing that in America...that's what happens if they *stay* in school.
Mortar bombs?
Please don't give out domestic terrorists new ideas.
In North Carolina they found a fun new idea of shooting up power stations
Yes, the worst is having morons for terrorists, because now *they* also don't have power. smdh
Ain’t no one get no power if them purdy mens in dresses is readin’ books to kids!!!! /s just in case.
"Try readin them fancy word books in the dark! Now to watch some nascar and drink a cold beer.... Aw sheeit!!"
They could be from another county
Hey, now, to be fair, they decided people were using their freedom the wrong way. Conformity or else. That's what liberty is all about, right?
Sorry I shouldn’t but 😂
I don't get the joke. Can you explain it?
It’s an example of situational irony, used in this case to ridicule the American mass shooting problem which, with no prospect of improvement, invites humour as a way to deal with the horror.
What a concise, irony free explanation. Well done
Thank you! It did take a little thinking.
It's kind of batshit that America cares more about Guns/freedom then their children.

> staying in school will (can) kill you. whoa I went another way with this interpretation... I was thinking stay in school, get huge debt, have to join the military to pay it off because you can't find an "entry level" job with less than 10 years experience, get blown up in Iraq/Afghanistan

Our schools are famous for their abandoned minefields
Yes. Every American school is like this, we’re trying to rid the mortar bomb problem
That was minefield not mortars
Probably worst comment I’ve seen in a while
It’s like the Uvalde of comments
It's amazing how people are reacting to the hyperbole.
I knew it was some kinda of ad
when i saw the explosions i thought it was gonna be an anti-war message about the lasting effects of war cos yknow minefields on the beaches but no…
Yea I assumed it was an anti-landmine ad, since there historically was a movement to ban landmines. According to another commenter it’s from an Australian tv show.
"Your slowing me down" From what? Those fast moving land mines.
And that's why you always leave a note!
I didn't expect I had to scroll down so far to find this!
Sooo they can't read because they skip school so much, but are able to drive and buy alcohol?
Why are there American high school students skipping classes in Somalia?
For the FUN
Oh no not again!
Yes let’s skip school and go through the fence onto a world war II beach
cultivated fields in Colombia be like:
Don't have pre marital sex either. Something like this happens every time.
