Old TV Commercials

[Ironhead]

There are several TV commercials from the past that I used to love.

The Molson ads "I am Canadian" of course rank up there. They are easy to find on YouTube.
The Molson Golden ones where the nerdy kind of guy keeps trying to talk to women, is not so easy to find and the two guys in a canoe set back in the days when Canada was first being settled, I think the name of one of the guys was Jacques, is impossible to find ... at least I cannot find them.
This is the one I have been searching for, the two guys in a canoe. No reason other then I liked those ads.

While on the subject, what old TV commercials did you like ?



You know I am Canadian !

I think you have too much time on your hands.

I just found out the two guys were Canadian voyageurs William & Jacques and it was a Labatts commercial

No CGI here and that song just sticks in your head all day. Voted the most famous jingle in the world.

Murray Westgate, the man is still around. When was the last time you saw a 90 sec commercial?

This one always puts a smile on my face.

This isn't terribly old, but a classic none the less.

There was a commercial back from the 80's or 90's. It had no dialogue. It was a 'Welcome to your Carlsberg Years' theme.

Some guys were sitting around a table looking heartbroken and inconsolable. The tears eventually turn to rip roaring laughter and you get the sense they're all having a drink after a friend's funeral.

Masterful. Unforgettable and Touching.

I can't find it anywhere and if anyone can, you'll have some good karma coming your way.
