❌❌❌❌Banned Commercials from Ontario TV❌❌❌❌

[@matthewfries]

I remember nearly all of these commercials well, and I don't remember a single one of them being "banned." That Molson Canadian commercial ran forever.

[@jaymoeller1774]

Yeah I think "banned" is pretty incorrect here. I almost remembered the Molson Canadian one word for word, I hardly think it played "a few times" before it was removed.

[@destronia123]

It was the pan up shot of "the fox" that was censored and reshot.

[@liltiger3]

That cough commercial is terrifying.

[@OofusTwillip]

It's like the Large Marge scene in "Peewee's Big Adventure".

[@toresque1]

Messed me up when I was 3

[@retroDave80]

When I saw the "Banned" title, I first thought of that Heinz Ketchup commercial... and you came through! I still remember seeing this commercial airing on CFTO during the lunch airing of the Flintstones. Thanks for the memories!

[@AndreNDP]

I've never seen that Heinz one, I'm stunned that ever made air. And while there were still WWI veterans around!

[@Neville60001]

@@AndreNDP, what, may I ask, was wrong about using that song to advertise ketchup?

@@Neville60001 It's a Long Way to Tipperary is a WW1 march.

[@Longarm0malley]

It's crazy to see something that just instantly unlocks a memory that's been tucked away since childhood. The song in the Molson ad in this instance. I also remember those Delsym ads because my mom and I would burst out laughing whenever they came on. Appreciate the video and channel!

[@Retrontario]

Thank you! 🙏

[@themastersb]

Those Delsym commercials were pretty scary.

[@shawnattwells5355]

Yeah, I can see why those Delsym commercials would freak out the kids watching; they certainly did me.

[@lambunshrunk]

They reminded me of some of the characters in Beetlejuice, I think they were popular back then around the same time.

[@Duvmasta]

I looked on the internet, but I couldn’t find any articles on parents complaining about the commercial.

[@patrickracine485]

Always had a laugh about a childhood memory of those delsym commercials freaking me and my brother out when we were 3 or 4. My mom called and complained to have them moved to after 8pm or something. First time I’ve seen that commercial since!

[@Duvmasta]

@@patrickracine485 your mom must have been one of the 200 parents that complained to them lol

[@wolfywolf2sda]

I remember all of these. Thank you for showing them again!

[@benatkinson5671]

I so loved those hack attack commercials when they aired on TV! I also remember the CHUM FM & Molson commercials very well.

[@OofusTwillip]

The Asbestos PSA is even more frightening when your father worked for 9 months at Johns-Manville in 1959, was diagnosed with mesothelioma 60 years later, and had a medically assisted death 18 months later. And you worked for years in a very poorly maintained building that's full of asbestos.

[@dorismcharg4134]

Don't forget Pneumenoconiosis

[@dorismcharg4134]

Thanks to that commercial, I learned just how bleak "blue-collar" workers had it. Welders, Electricians, ALL personnel working around fuel are particularly vulnerable to bone marrow and blood cancers.

[@Nieghorn]

If the cough syrup ones were banned, I'm surprised Astar the Robot stayed for years (was it War Amps?). Good message, but what a freaky setting and even a creepy robot!

[@Longarm0malley]

Good call. I loved the Delsym ads as a kid and found them hilarious, whereas Astar was pure nightmare fuel before I even knew the term!

[@mst3kanita]

We had the nude guy commercial here in the Hampton Roads, VA area for 2WD, a far from racy radio station. Bonnie Raitt's "something to talk about" played alongside it.

[@ridikerous]

That Molson Canadian commercial was on TV forever.

[@therealcdnuser]

I was hoping you would show the “I am Canadian” beer ads. Those bring back memories.

[@mike727272]

I remember all these. Especially the Molson one. Loved that one. Why are these banned???

[@copperlocks1]

I Still have those Posters somewhere from the Molson beer ad

[@danmorley8116]

I remember those CSA ads well. As noted, they showed them during afterschool hours. But that one wasn't the scariest one. Others showed people falling and getting run over. And there was the metal-in-the-eye ad, which was in a class by itself.

[@ridikerous]

We all remember the "I can put my arm back on; you can't".

[@bryanlawrence5012]

They played the metal in eye CSA during the 86 Stanley Cup. I was so upset I ran to bed crying.

[@Rayzor_Blaydez]

Funny enough I remember every single one of these commercials. They seem mild in comparison to what we have access to today.

[@ColleenTempleart]

The nude guy listening to rhe radio one is funny and I remember it for sure, so mission accomplished for their marketing team, lol!

[@good0179]

Still looking for the butter commercial that was set in Nfld. and began "Fish, fresh from the sea..." and which was yanked for depicting Newfoundlanders as slow.

[@Sentinelstudios-w4w]

0:39 i completely lost it 😂😂

[@princeofpop8]

I remember my mom recording “Frosty The Snowman” on Global and the 2 Delsym commercials were played as the first and the last of the commercial break. Those were freaky at first and when I thought about it now as an adult it was kinda funny.

[@callmemrbombastic1903]

Why were these banned!? Seem harmless to me! I actually remember the chum commercial!

[@JohnnyBoy1533]

I remember seeing the Molson Canadian and CHUM FM commercials. Don’t recall them being banned. I thought that the PC attack ad against Jean Chrétien in the 1993 general election was pulled by the party due to the blowback it got.

[@browland1]

I remember the Chum FM one being on for quite some time, but it doesn't surprise me that some pearl-clutchers had issues and eventually got it yanked.

[@TheNewFlesh]

It's so sad seeing parties spend campaign dollars on insults, rather than promoting their own platform

[@ianmcnulty799]

That saucy Heinz commercial! They were right to ban that one!

[@Salmiyaguy1]

None of these were banned. All received heavy play on ontario TV

[@chrisjp69]

that Molson Canadian commercial is EPIC!

[@JulianAlpsNews]

Thanks for these, but why were they banned? The only potentially controversial commercial I see is the one with partial frontal nudity. (And, yes, the asbestos PSA has shocking imagery, but surely that's to be expected from workplace safety PSAs?)

[@Retrontario]

Read the description for why it was banned

[@JulianAlpsNews]

@@Retrontario Didn't see the part under the "Click here" fold. Sorry!

[@JulianAlpsNews]

Oh and that Chretien negative ad seems positively tame to what we get every election season south of the border.

I like how in the asbestos one, they didn't bother putting make up on the dying guy's neck.

[@JEGonc1]

That asbestos ad was one I never saw.. but I can see why it was pulled. When I saw banned commercials as a title I immediately thought of that Heinz ad.. that was a bad idea

[@copperlocks1]

Yes, 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ WW1 marching song

[@DasNordlicht91]

Regarding that PC Party ad: the aftermath was that the party was overwhelmingly crushed in the polls, winning a total of two seats in the 93 election. And yes, heading up the PC campaign for the election was none other than current Toronto mayor John Tory.

[@AndreNDP]

John Tory: Failing upwards since 1993!

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

the beer one I saw many times.. probably just came to the end of it's run - a summer series commercial

[@inversion66]

That might have depended on the market you were in. I remember it running on Saskatchewan stations for weeks that year, so perhaps only Ontario stations dropped it. (I'm old enough to remember when there were no beer ads on Saskatchewan stations, which changed sometime in the early '80s.)

[@marnac]

These weren't banned commercials because I've seen them all.

[@blazingstar9638]

Lmao this channel is gold

[@labtechsuperstar]

Banning the Ketchup one is silly. As for the ones that scared children...sometimes it's a good thing. Granted, a child wouldn't have much to do with asbestos.

[@mightyfilm]

Are you sure the Heinz commercial wasn't pulled because of the graphic sequence of putting ketchup on a hot dog? Putting ketchup on a hot dog is a crime against humanity in some places. I'm dry heaving at the sight myself.

[@tracymurray6840]

The Heinz ketchup commercial? I have seen this before as a kid and at the time, I did not think it was insensitive to those who fought in WW2, to thirteen year old me, Long Way to Tipperary was just a song from long ago.

[@tracymurray6840]

I meant WW1, sorry.

[@imppmi6973]

I guess Quebec didn't like this commercial since they were exporting asbestos to India around the airing of this commercial lol.

[@moebigsley1976]

For the Molsons Canadian commercial, would they rather call her a moose? But then, if all the caricatures were all men, then the complaint would be "no woman representation" Loved all these commericals though the Heinz one was before my time,

(2) DELSYM HACK ATTACK (1989)-According to the City TV show _Media Television_ , this ad was a generic ad come up with by a Toronto company that could be used by companies for advertising (the one with the guy coughing.)

[@halltrain1162]

No, it was created specifically for the client agency ,Bryson Harris, for their client Delsym. I made the commercial along with the female version and the airplane version 2 years later. Delsym later sold the commercial all over the world to various agencies as a generic. It was ,in fact , banned for two weeks initially, but the case was overthrown, and the litigaters sued. I made the spots.

[@halltrain1162]

The hack attack commercial, which I animated and directed was banned for almost two weeks. Competing brands claimed it was exaggerating symptoms of an illness. Suit was dropped. I won two Clios and 7 Bessies for the spot, and got a phone call from Spielberg , ended up working for him for 6 years over a bunch of projects.

[@yvonnemariane2265]

I like how they cared more about children being scared than now (eg. horrid horror movie ads dam). Molson, unbelievable -- Yes maybe calling a woman a "fox" for beer commercial is sexist, but then WHAT HAVE THE FEMINISTS BEEN DOING *SINCE* THEN CUZ WOMEN ARE MORE OBJECTIFIED THAN EVER IN ADS NOW LOL ps the Molson ad is mixing metaphors *that's* annoying haha
