- 87 minutes of 1987 commercials... dream or nightmare??
Retrontario’s primary mission is the preservation, research and exhibition of rare videotape recordings (1970s to 1990s) recorded off of any and all Ontario (and surrounding area) TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. We also hope to create an ongoing oral history of this content through comments left below the videos. Please add to this evolving history, if you know more information pertaining to the clips, fondly remember them or have a modern thought all comments are welcome!

It's hilarious. I spent my childhood waiting for these things to end - only to sit in front of my computer as an adult and wish I could watch them on my parent's old TV again. 😂 Humans are weird.
It's nostalgia baby! Pulls on the heartstrings
I couldn’t agree more. Well said 💯🎯
i always call the phone numbers on these commercials. if you call to order encyclopedias you get global payments
@@frankbrazil7918 I hated that commercial.
Ain't it the best?
I’m the encyclopedia Britannica guy at 4:33. Really! Great video!
You sir are a legend 🙌🏻
Awesome collection Ed! Thanks for posting! Love the music and voice overs from '87. Takes me back to high school.
anyone else hit the "skip ads"" button before watching all these ads?
Lol. Yep
*hums "When Will I be famous?"*
Taking it back to an era when 20 million brits watched Kylie and Jason in Neighbours, An Elderly Duck and his great nephews went on adventures and Thatcher got her Hat trick victory!
Baby Jerry O'Connell at 1:26:14
One of the Baldwin bros was in the 7UP commercial. He was so young.
31:59 - The Bay - with Don Lake, who also does the voiceover on the next commercial.
Here I am being annoyed that commericals are interrupting my commericals lol life's funny sometimes
1:04:33 - Bounce - Eva Almos as the mom.
Wow! Sincere enthusiasm for products and services that mostly do what you expect, with little or no fine print. No wonder people are so F'ed up these days.
I was like number 88. Sorry to ruin the theme.
Please take me back to 1987👍
1987. When everyone I cared about was still alive.
4:32 - Encyclopedia Britannica - This very-meta commercial was written, produced, and directed by the great Stan Freberg, who also provides the voiceover. The boy is his son, Donavan.
Strange to think but that "computer" in a dozen or so years would go on to make Encylopedias obsolete.
My parents had a whole pile of Stan Freberg records! 😂
You don't need all that, here, take a pile of books that never update! haha
I didn't know that!😀
An Apple ][ (shown here) with a modem could dial into a service that had a text based interface like Compuserve and access an online encyclopedia in 1987. Problem solved, right? Actually no, because the pr. minute phone AND service charges were very high, and on top of that you had to pay a monthly fee. This was pretty.much the standard across "online services" back then. The internet was not yet really public and for the most part the only people that had access to that were people in government and those in university or research facilities.
So this is why physical encyclopedias were still a big thing well into the personal computer age.
Hey, that's Stephen Baldwin at 2:01 ... very telling start to his career
8:19 Dire Straits
I remember that "Mac Tonight" commercial from the 1980s! I miss how great the Big Mac and fries tasted back then. Now a Big Mac at McDonalds tastes awful
Jesus. I'd forgotten how annoying - almost aggressive - 80s commercials used to be! 🤣 I'm tired.
Never annoying to me. I find 80s-early to mid 90s commercials to be relaxing
OV and Export, whatever happened to Molson Golden?
I think some of these commercials were from American TV stations
The strange weirdness is that I am watching ad commercials from my childhood, while the video gets interrupted with modern ads that will one day be watched by people decades from now as nostalgia.....
except the 80s were authentic. 2020's are full of woke shoved down your throat diversity/inclusion nonsense. overtly political.
@@magamaga1827 yep I think 20 years from now people will still watch ads/movies/music from the 80s
That bill cosby one is cringe
i was born sept 23 1987 i day after full house aired. man im pretty lucky to get to have grown up at the very last bit of the real free western world basicaly before 9/11
jfc Canadian beer ads were so painfully maudlin
What about CCCP "join us!"??
THIS IS THE BEST!! Thank you!!
Do you have a compilation from 1988 and 89?? Would love to see that. Especially anything from City Tv
3:45 - Eggs - Michael Lamport as the ranting man.
funny how government sponsored commercials about talking to your kids about drugs and alcohol no longer exist...wonder why?
They do, there is a recent one about vaping, but it's not a parent.
Mulroney-Reagan majority era
10:04 - McDonald's Bacon - sounds like Cal Dodd singing & doing the voiceover.
11:35 - Zellers - Meghan Smith as the mother.
EX says it allll 🎶 🍻
Vicky Lewis of NEWS RADIO etc. in the York Peppermint Patty one.
Vivarin are caffeine tablets, and are still being made.
I think the drummer in the Seagram's Wildberry ad might be Owen Tennyson, who was a member of Blue Peter and Rational Youth in the mid '80s.
Came here to see real 1987 commercials after having this idea to look it up when I just seen commercials in the 1987 movie Robocop showing the yamaha, good sux and nukem commercials, but first saw Robocop in 2010 and I was born in 1992.
That music at 44:42 was used many places.
WWF during the Undertaker/Jake Roberts vignettes, them old NWA (Jim Crockett Promotions) wrestling tape promos, and Unsolved Mysteries during the Tallman's Ghost segment, among other places.
12:11 - Harveys - voiced by Don Francks.
?" they get a blast of nostalgia and ask how thehell im watching tv from 1987. then i bring up commercials from the 60s and they freak out
37:11 - IDA - starring Robert Young. Carolyn Scott (Mrs. Sarnicky on "Frantic Times", and Bill Needle's wife on "SCTV") as the customer. John Davies (Canadian Tire's Scrooge, and veteran of many "Wayne & Shuster" specials) as the pharmacist.
Fetal Keanu Reeves sighting at 31:43
The year i was born had kick ass commercials
58:29 - Green Giant - voiceover by John Stocker.
87 was the year I popped out of my mother. Good year. Awesome compilation.
Probably also the year your dad popped you *into* your mother.
me too.
same
August 26th over here.
That Encyclopedia Britannica commercial has been living rent free in my head forever. They must have played it alot
This takes me back, thank you so much.
:52 lil Brad Pitt
Why does the kid at 5:58 look like MrTLexify, if he was a teenager, with a mullet?
I always wondered where my Mandibula was..
I like the 80's Canadian flavor
I miss the McDonald's characters.
I was born in 1987
A golden era for the west country.
