Holy fuck...lol. When he posted this, I tried to find the commercials on youtube but I guess I wasn't googling the right words. Don't know how you found that. There were others that would show like 4 fuck ups in one commercial. I remember one where a guy is hammering and a piece of nail goes in his eye because he's not wearing safety glasses.

Places to remember fondly:
1 Victory Burlesque on Spadina. At one time Toronto's only strip club of note. With a live band!
2 Gimlets - with high quality girls who could really dance. (This bar was the actual inspiration for the Toronto screenwriter who penned Flash Dance.)
3 The Palm Grove Lounge beneath the Embassy Tavern.
4 The old Toronto Star building on King Street.
5 Upstairs at the Winchester Tavern on Parliament street, where you'd drink terrible beer beneath the crappy antique crossed skis over the bar.

The "Copa" night club at Yonge and Scollard st. For a few years , it was the it place to go, long lineups to get in, luckily for me I worked with one of the club's door man at a part time job elsewhere, he would let my friends and I in immediately.

Then it became the Barracuda. I have some good memories from that place.

That's right!, I totally forgot about that!

The building is now a craft beer place. I believe

Internet, social media etc.....

During the 70's the sunshine girls were teenagers, Anne Rohmer formerly of CITY TV and Breakfast TV was a sunshine girl at age of 16.

I had a co worker at my part time job in the 70's who was a sunshine girl, she was 17 years of age.

The most famous PSA of all time, lol. That flying shard of nail is forever ingrained in my memory. Sometimes when I nail stuff, this commercial still pops up in my mind. And those sound effects

haaaaaaa haaaaaaaa! Can't believe you found it! Those sound effects killed me...lol.

I totally remember the one that played after as well with the multiple accidents. I always remembered the one where the guys steps on the nail, but that one with piece of nail flying into the guys eye was the best. Thanks to Kherg for bringing this up.

Anyone remember the late night commercials for Crazy Joe’s (carpets or drapes or something) or my personal favorite “have a weeny on Al Palladini” at his car lot?

The production on those commercials was terrible. Basically a coop student and one camera sent out.

Back in grad school remember taking a roadie to toronto....Back in the mid 80's...we found ourselves in some place with the word Brunswick in it....Brunswick house maybe? I remember long tables, waitresses bringing trays of individual beers rather than jugs/pitchers. And beer pretty much everywhere. It seemed full of yobbos turning into longshoremen just as eager to have a laugh as a go but in a weird, hockey kinda way. We had a blast, and my Montreal mate kept whinging about no smoked meat places to hit after beering up. LOL

Anyone go to club "Xanadu" on Mount Pleasant Ave.? This was the club where at each table there would be a telephone in which you can call any other table- It was sooooo tacky! lol

Girls would call up a guy at a table , pretend that she's interested in him and ask him to meet her outside, the guy would go outside, but she wouldn't , sooo embarrassing for the guy LOL!!!!
