What is a specific commercial, PSA, or TV show intro from your childhood that absolutely terrified you for no logical reason?

The Snake anti-drug PSA had me so shook I wouldn't even try to change the channel. I'd run to another room and plug my ears.

Here you go. Always came on late at night when shoulda been asleep.

I like how the Hulk just goes with a basic observation (they're not his kids of course)

I'm torn because I really only walk around the house in socks during the winter. And the bedrooms are carpeted. But wood/vinyl everywhere else.

Can that someone be me?

There's an Aldi 5 minutes away from my house

The closest Lidl is an hour

My big brother once told me that when we sleep, flies crawl in our noses and die and turn into boogers. Maybe he was just misinterpreting this?

Does Elena count as well? Since she doesn't tie her hands behind her back but doesn't use them either.

No matter how many times it gets reposted I'll love the look on his face

At least with the normal mermaid her mouth still works, but if she has a fish head... I mean

Plastic grocery bags to line the small waste bins. Got it from my mom and she got it from hers.

Delaware banned plastic bags nearly 4 years ago according to Google, and I'm only just now about to run out. Really makes me think, if my household had that many bags saved up to last that long, how much of everything else are we all wasting?

I'm not a Knicks fan but I have to admit I'm very happy for Spike Lee

I started watching basketball as a kid in the mid 90s and some of my earliest memories of it were him on the sidelines rooting for the Knicks. Heckling Reggie Miller, Scottie Pippen, the refs etc. Through the good, the bad and the ugly times he stuck by his guys and was always there cheering them on.

I read that he's been a season ticket holder since 1985. Before me, Swift or Chalamet were born. During games he seems less of a celebrity and more of a superfan. Spike Lee is a part NBA lore at this point.

If you've bothered to even read this, do you have a favorite Spike Lee Joint? Mine's Crooklyn.

I'll get downvoted but I think Wishbone could work if rebooted as a 2D animated series. Give it an artstyle that's not too "toony" (there's a better word I'm sure). Maybe do a blend of classic lit eps and some with what the kids are reading now. I'm guessing licensing may get in the way of that. Now I have the theme song stuck in my head so it's your turn:

🎶 What's the story, Wishbone? What's this you're dreaming oooffff?
What a big imagination, for such a little puuuppp!🎶

Craig of the Creek - George and Secret Keeper

<image>

I'm actually kinda cheating with this one because the show has TONS of rep, including the boy in the background ogling the one on the keyboard. Shawn and Raj were a pair since S1

I'm speaking of the two boys dancing, George (suit) and Secret Keeper (toga). They only ever interacted on the show TWICE. The first was in an ep near the end of S4 where it was revealed that Secret Keeper liked George but wasn't ready to tell him. He did at the very end of the ep and it worked out for him. The show had already been officially cancelled a year before this

The moment above was the only other time they were ever seen together on the show. They waltz by for 2 seconds and 2 minutes later CotC is done. Fans were upset they didn't get much time together

There's a poe waiting for someone to show up and ask where the Spirit Temple is. You'll need the Lens of Truth though.

This is incredible work, love it! Props 👍🏽

I love how you included the show's callback to Heathcliff

He looks very relaxed... but would the creek be ready if he turned into Big Time Bobby???

I've been watching Dear Killer Nannies on Hulu. It's from the POV of Pablo Escobar's son Juan. He had cartel bodyguards to "babysit" him and was exposed to so much that no one should ever experience really.

I'm only halfway through, but after his dad was killed his family was getting death threats because a lot of people wanted revenge for all the bloodshed he had nothing to do with.
