What's this? A Skylanders take on a PSA that isn't nightmarish in the slightist!? O_O

Okay, now that that's out of the way, I would like to provide some background info in the PSA I'm parodying. It's for an organization devoted to preventing childhood famine. It's called Fast Forward To End Hunger, and I'm not sure if it's still around. Probably not since when I looked them up, there wasn't much info that popped up.

As for the PSA itself, it features monochrome footage of a boy eating some oatmeal in a kitchen, occasionally looking off to the sides (likely at some off-screen camera people) while the faint sounds of children playing outside can be heard. We then fade to the white text "1 down. 12,000,000 to go." on a black background and then to the organization's logo on the same background as we hear a man named Ted Danson (likely the founder or head of the company) asking viewers to help combat childhood famine.

As a side note, one person who uploaded their copy of the PSA noted in the description that, if you look closely, you can see M&Ms in the oatmeal that were likely put in there to get the kid to eat the mushy oatmeal. Yuck!

There exists another version of this PSA on Youtube that features a different boy and what sounds like a faint creepy synth drone in the background (not sure if it's from the VHS it's on or from a washing machine or something that might be running nearby). It can seen at 5:00 in this video: youtu.be/1BMxjdlNNzQ

I wanted to use of the Mini Skylanders for this sketch. Didn't know which one to pick, so I went with Bop. I apologize for the spoon clipping into the bowl of oatmeal.

Back to the PSA. I feel that this is one of the more tamer ones since there wasn't anything nightmarish in the slightish, in my opinion. However, the monochrome quality along with how quiet the PSA sounds (aside from the children outside) does create a bit of an unsettling feeling in me whenever I watch it.
