So it's that time again. The time of year when we get bombarded with these sh*tty anti-smoking commercials. This one is full of overused memes and dorks. And bullsh*t, of course. I despise these ads with a passion, and furious anger. It seems that they outdid themselves this time. The comments are proof of that. I'll put the link after the video. Enjoy this gem.

I'd feel a lot better about this commercial if they had added a couple at some make-out spot and just when the guy tries to get to third base the girl turns into Caitlyn and they do the tagline.

It's a trap!

Yeah, that used to be a thing.

Technically, I was not feeding one of his threads. I just made a reference of him.

How many hipster trends can they cram into these commercials? It's as if only hipster kids smoke cigarettes. These commercials try to be overly "cool" to relate to kids in order to make them stop smoking. When in reality they're probably made by adults who haven't a grasp on how to relate to kids these days (does anybody?) kids these days are f-king weird

The husky kid in the first segment of the commercial doesn't really seem like the type that would be invited to too many parties....just an observation.

This commercial eats!

The way they show it, the people of truth are smoking pot NOT cigarettes!

Young people usually look good smoking.   But the ones in this commercial don't seem to know how to even hold a cigarette.   They look like amateurs.   They need more practice.

They should have started with pot. Not only do you look really cool holding a joint, but burning your fingers and lips a few times teaches you hold to hold burning things near your face.

You soft-handed clip-using types were the "casual" smokers this ad was made for. The people who only smoked when the proper paraphernalia was around. Y'all apparently learned the Truth before you got trapped, and found yourself smoking when there was no clip, stone, or stat around. Before you ended up carrying around a wood dugout box with a brass baseball bat to "sneak-a-toke".

Thumbs Up

Good for you... half-ass weed smokers. LOL

^   Naaah.   I remember "shotgunning" people.   That is, placing the burning end of the joint in your mouth, and blowing the smoke out into your friend's mouth. I burned my lips a few times doing that.

Now that I think of it, I really don't know what the purpose of that was.   It was just one of those things you did if you were a real pot-smoker.

I remember doing that. And you learn real quick that burning the inside of the lips sucks so you're more careful. Paperclips always came in handy, too.

The PSA industry needs to stop what they do, and get the f**k out of our lives. They just don't care how they get their messages across, and if they have to keep stooping to such lows to convince people not to smoke, or do drugs, then maybe we should put them out of business because this crap that they keep pulling off makes them look like hypocrites at this point! Do they honestly think that by doing this crap, they can scare people into living good clean lives?! BULLsh*t!

I remember shotgunning, the only benefit I can see is maybe you can blow harder than you can suck, meaning the recipient would get more smoke or... whatever.

Anyone remember gravity bongs? Wacko

I've heard that called blow-backs. Mind you, this was the UK show, "Skins" so it could be a this side versus that side of the pond thing.

Gravity bongs sound horrendous. A friend of mine knows someone who was prepping to do one and got hit hard on the back....imaginations, activate.

found a clip of the phrase from Skins
