We heard in the office the other day that the PSA is passe. The PSA is of course the public service announcement: those helpful commercials that tell you to get your blood pressure checked regularly or to have your annual breast exam. Well, apparently the world has moved on from those short well-meaning messages. The more effective way to get information out in 2013 is via social media. But before we put a DNR on the PSA, a selection of our favourite funny PSA's some of which are having the last laugh by being viral internet hits. R2D2 sneaking a cigarette, a 10-year-old gangster doing CPR, the Simpsons disseminating health tips and of course Polyp Man: they're all here.

This is the follow-up to the hugely successful PSA featuring Hollywood Bad Guy Vinnie Jones. Check out twelve-year-old Brenock O'Connor demoing CPR to the tune of Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees.
The Perp Called Polyp Man
Dramatic police take down of polyp man. Not much more to say really.
Breast feeding: Join the Boob-olution
Taking on taboos, addressing concerns and extolling the benefits of breast-feeding while using pretty much every slang word in the book for breasts.
R2D2: Rebel Without an Ashtray
From the early 80's, R2D2 starts smoking.
What's That?
You'll never guess what they find on the floor of the supermarket.
