If you watch several of these episodes, however-- Calcium, for example-- you may notice references to a phenomenon known as the Helvetica Scenario. I've launched a public awareness campaign on the subject, which I hope you will share with your readers. As part of this campaign, I have created a set of warning labels suitable for printing onto sticker paper. I encourage everyone to download the file and keep a stack of these stickers on hand at all times. If you see Helvetica in the wild, do your part for public safety and apply the sticker in a visible location.

So funny. I'm working on a science education video, and I can't decide whether to avoid having it turn out like one of these--or try to make it MORE like one of these. I’m crying at my desk.

They really deserve a wider audience and as someone who had to watch the videos that these parody in school I can really say they are very good. I’m so glad to see these on here.
