that is a scary safety film. I do not know how effective it would be but I was laughing very hard, and the sound track oh my goodness that is scary

Is this a contest for the worst video and worst lyrics possible? I have heard better sounding cats in heat than this.

The screams are what had me cracking up!

But I'll be honest, I've tried to make a "serious" safety video, tried to make it have an impact, where I died and the kids were left fatherless, and it just came out hilarious. I knew before it was done that it was NOT going to give people the emotional impact I had hoped going into the video. I'll try to dig it up, but the scene of me falling off the ladder was what had people cracking up. (and it wasn't a paid gig, just something I was doing with friends at work)

interestingly enough i did a whole series of safety 'videos' for workcover australia about 20 years ago....

it was decided early on that there was no way to get the 'safety' message across with actors;

a. it was just to easy to see the humour in someone 'acting' injured.

b. because of the multicultural nature of the workforce any one ethnic actor (black, white, yellow, brown, etc) might be looked 'down' upon by a member of another ethnic group.

so, a 14 part series was done in 'comic strip' style using very basic illustrations featuring a 'multiethnic' character (who subtlety changed hair / skin colour episode to episode). poor bloke was always 'sniffing' chemical containers, slipping on oil spills, forgetting to turn off power boxes, etc., etc.,

there was quite a follow-up study done to find it's effectiveness - and apparently it worked well... but no amount of training is going to replace stupidity in the workplace....

It works……..I listened to the audio very carefully and now I also want to hurt myself.

Law enforcement agencies should use this video for extracting information from suspects.
I guarantee they'd tell everything in no time at all :)
Chalk on a blackboard and cats in heat have nothing on this "singer" - and I use the term very very loosely.

Only once. And that was one too many. Sure glad the kids weren't in the house.
