Line 26:
* There was a [[PSA]] shown in theatres that warned about the dangers of trains, showing a nervous man playing cards with The Grim Reaper interspersed with a car racing to a road/railroad crossing. It ends with the man crushed, The Reaper laughing, and the car getting nailed by the train. The title card at the end said "Why gamble with Death?" Yes, ''title card'': this PSA was filmed in the era of [[Silent Films]].
* In New Zealand's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUwB5OjwVGM&playnext=1&list=PLC69D99681DB44A8B Wheel of Misfortune]" PSA, Death is a carnie sitting at a traffic intersection next to a wheel with alternating slots for 'near miss', 'minor crash', 'major crash', and 'death' (and, in a single teeny tiny slot, 'miracle'). Every time someone makes a stupid decision, he puts his hand on the wheel and gives it a spin.
* This [https://youtu.be/f9axlLUKqjI advert] for a cable company has the grim reaper along with a werewolf, a mummy, and a mad scientist talking about their jobs when the grim reaper gets messages about complaining about satellite losing signal during the rain just before explaining what he just did to a passenger. To be fair, soul harvesting is his job regardless of weather.
