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! For more information on how to help in our mission please visit us at: www.retrontario...

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 always call the phone numbers on these commercials. if you call to order encyclopedias you get global payments

@@frankbrazil7918 I hated that commercial.

1987. When everyone I cared about was still alive.

@OofusTwillip 2 года назад

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.

@doccyclopz 2 года назад

Strange to think but that "computer" in a dozen or so years would go on to make Encylopedias obsolete.

@steadyc9277 2 года назад

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

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.

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

I think some of these commercials were from American TV stations

@steadyc9277 2 года назад

Jesus. I'd forgotten how annoying - almost aggressive - 80s commercials used to be! 🤣 I'm tired.

@micai.j8920 2 года назад

Never annoying to me. I find 80s-early to mid 90s commercials to be relaxing

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.....

@magamaga1827 Год назад

except the 80s were authentic. 2020's are full of woke shoved down your throat diversity/inclusion nonsense. overtly political.

@matthewscherer9681 Год назад

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.

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.

@OofusTwillip 2 года назад

12:11 - Harveys - voiced by Don Francks.

@JMDogg Год назад

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.

@AnthonyBialy 2 года назад

I was like number 88. Sorry to ruin the theme.

@OofusTwillip 2 года назад

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.

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.
