Well played, Metro, well played.

'Dumb Ways To Die (2012)' is a stealth PSA for train safety that still pops up in my head now and again. That's effective marketing. The whole thing relies on the contrast that its cute characters and friendly singing have with its graphic violence and dark lyrics. It's a black comedy that, unsurprisingly, details various dumb ways to die. It's really charming, provoking laughter on more than one occasion, and highly catchy, too. As I said up top, it still plays in my mind ever so often, nearly ten years after its initial release. That's how much of an ear-worm it is. It's an entertaining PSA, which means its message is all the more likely to stick. 8/10.

Best music short ever

This song is awesome, the ways the characters die is truly dumb, but that's why it's called Dumb Ways To Die. This short managed to get some games on the App Store and I recommend you to get them if you have a phone. I'm surprised this has a 7.8. It should be higher
