Any fellow PSA/PIF watchers?

Post Reply New Topic

A few months ago I developed a special interest in PSAs (or PIFs as they are known in the UK) and some commercials (I normally hate commercials, but some of them are particularly creative), particularly creepy or unsettling PSAs. My NT family members don't really understand... I tried to get my sister and my mom into it but they thought it was weird. The funny thing is that there's a fairly large community on Youtube who loves finding and watching PSAs and commercials, and I'm pretty sure most of them aren't Aspies, so it's not just an Aspie thing! But I guess some people think it's weird. Is there anyone else who shares this interest?

not yet... could you share some highlights?

It’s a lifelong interest for me. Many of the old ones can be found on YouTube

Not to plug myself too much, but here’s a video I made of my top 20 creepiest PSAs: https://youtu.be/4aehvK57Cbc

@Tim_Tex Glad to know there’s another PSA fan! What are some of your favorites?

...What does " P.I.F. " acronym?

Not specifically PSAs but old commercials and broadcast TV in general, especially local area TV (promos, news, station IDs)

@ASS-P PIF stands for “Public Information Film”. It’s the same thing as a PSA, just one from the UK.
