13 Weird 1970s PSAs That Messed With Every Kid's Head

Before cable, before the internet, there was a green face under your kitchen sink, an owl begging you to pick up your trash, and a woman in the woods who turned into something no kid ever forgot. These are 13 of the strangest public service announcements that aired while we were growing up, and one of them still starts arguments in comment sections today. Inside this one: Smokey Bear, Woodsy Owl, Mr. Yuk, the Crying Indian, Time for Timer, Don't Be Fuelish, Buckle Up for Safety, Johnny Smoke, the Save Free TV campaign, the Halloween candy warnings, and the question every television asked at 10 o'clock. Plus the famous movie voice hiding inside one anti-smoking spot, years before anyone knew his name. Which one do you remember most clearly? And which one did I miss? Tell me in the comments.
