    There used to be an advert for Kit Kat (i think) were the advert started with a man laughing, it used to freak out our dog, he'd be laying on the mat sleeping, hear the advert and start barking like crazy, we used to get a fright when he'd start.

    yeah all those ads from the 70's and 80's for the dangers of electricity (and there was a fair few of 'em) always got me and still would make me run cold all over, and im a electrical engineer!

    What about the ones for danger of fire in the home and those about rabies.

    I also remember one about kids and dangerous chemicals where a kid drinks bleech. Jeasus i'll never forget that scream as long as i live.

    Some one else can google them 'cause i ain't gonna!

    Going back a long time ago, but the ads for Bisto gravy i.e. the Bisto kids, used to freak me out.

    Public Information Films about burglars just used to make me terrified of them as a kid. The music in these 2 is creepy.

    I also remember one about car theft that scared me as a kid. A family parked their car outside a shopping centre but forgot to lock it. While they were shopping these scary looking alien guys in spacesuits came along and managed to get into it. They drove off in the car as the family were coming back out, and I remember one of the kids said something like "Spacemen just stole our car!". Sounds like a really weird ad, anyone remember it?
