CULTURE: Anti-Pot Ads Clearly Made By Stoners

Remember that old anti-heroin ad where Rachel Leigh Cook smashed a kitchen with a pan? She fucked those dishes up, and her thrashing around made it clear that we did not want any of what she was having.



Well, it's no wonder kids are more into drugs than ever these days, considering the anti-drug ads on now. Directed by 31-year-old David Gordon Green (George Washington, All the Real Girls), the series of ambivalent spots leaves the viewer unsure of whether they want to toke up or just say no.

Wow, this kid with the weird scar is the biggest sucker ever. The commercial plays like Driving Miss Daisy for potheads. Still not convinced to put down that bong for a split second? Try watching "Pete's Couch." Hell, try watching it stoned; maybe it's more persuasive that way.

i have always held the belief that the antipot commericals are made my people who are really, really high. theyre too hilarious not to be.

I love how none of these commercials are based on science. I mean, I know emotions sell more than cold numbers, but the whole statistics of how many high school seniors in Amsterdam habitually smoke pot versus the U.S.A.'s seniors seem a little more convincing than "If you smoke pot, your non-smoking friends will be WAY more responsible. Plus, pot smokers don't go to college."

I think they should just show Requiem for a Dream to every high school freshman, just to make them think about.

Just my twenty bucks worth.

My favorite is the one where the girl got pregnant because she got high.

OH! And the one where the Kids find the gun after toking up on the bong and one of them gets shot. This had nothing to do with the fact that the father KEPT A LOADED GUN IN HIS DESK DRAWER!

just silly..

The one with the girl was a harsher take on the "this is your brain on drugs" adds. If a hot girl tells me not to do drugs, booyeah!
Heck, most of the adds I saw as a kid made me want to do drugs just to defy them.
Oh and man, the girl in the stupid.ca add where she's rolling in dog shit... I don't care what she smelled like. She was hot.... Wait what was my point again?

They did a great parody of it in the film Harold and Kumar go to White Castle

Rachel Leigh Cook is hot.

Heh, biggest smoker I know was working fulltime, going to school in the culinary department full time, and an honor student on the deans list. Now he's opening his own business. Go figure.

Butt Out!

Even though it's not an anti-pot commercial, it's the best commercial ever. The Jack In The Box commercial with the kid in the van talking to the Jack bobblehead. When he asks the bobblehead how many tacos he should get, it says 30. "Yeah, thats what I was thinkin'." It's hilarious.

NOOOOOO...

damn, beat me to it.

also, pot smokers don't go to college? i've got three words for you: humboldt state university.

I'm no chicken. You're a turkey.

Favorite ever.

your ad space is a terrible thing to waste

I'd rather there be a bunch of stoner doing nothing than a bunch of crazy alchoholics beating each other up, 'cause: "he looked at me funny." I went to highschool with a bunch of kids that drank way too much. They could've used a smoke now and again.

funny, if your body goes through something like being a smashed egg after you take heroin, how come it's one of the least toxic drugs known to man?

whatever......I'm a little high....and Pete's couch looks comfy as hell.

okay that was kind of trippy, 'cause just as i was reading the original post, the commercial came on.

Cook is so hot she almost convinced me to stop.

Out of curiosity, where do you get the "least toxic drugs known to man" thing?

Who taught you how to make these milquetoast videos?

YOU, ALRIGHT! I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU!

They should just show dead bodies and arms with track marks and interviews with people that have sucked dick for crack/cocaine.

Yeah, but have you ever sucked dick for crack/cocaine... ON WEED, MAN?

Fuck, I've smoked pot with David Gordon Green.
