1980s commercials from Nova Scotia

[supermiffy]

 No that casino taxi ad ran in the 80s too!

[mistaflava]

***ROUND OF APPLAUSE*** Great job!

Being completely greedy, I would have LOVED to have seen the Green Gables store commercial in there!!..."At Green Gables we stay open just for you..."!

[dmelvinable]

How about that chef from the Cindy's commercial. I didn't think that Paul Prud'homme became famous until the early '90s.

Casino taxi commercial is from the 70's LOL

[VanceJoudrey]

You could do better commercials on a entry level Mac today. But ahhh the memories

[NinjaBurger101]

hhahahaha Pizza Delight takes the cake for me. "No body loves you better!"...? Who ok'd that?!

[patilj]

That jingle for Casino Taxi is etched in my brain - I never forgot their number. Whoever wrote that jingle deserves a reward.

[haugstule]

this is awesome! i'm so high right now XD and Bubbles rocks!

[fanotv]

Bubbles sang the Casino Taxi jingle on an episode of Trailer Park Boys...while stoned.

I work for Casino Taxi in the office there! Funny after all these years they have not felt the need to re-vamp or modernize the jingle...yup it still remains unchanged after all these decades! Guess they don't need to, as it's still pretty darn catchy though! Hilarious when people call for their cab (especially if they are drunk at a party) and I answer the phone and they are drunkenly yodeling the jingle!!!

[DodgeMan360]

@nsjoemaclover i thought it was great when I heard them playing it on the radio again, I dont think they should change it.

[Kincaid78]

this brings back memories , commercials are not much better Eastern Canada

CRUSHING HIGH PRICES

[jawings12]

0 people dislike Nova Scotia. :)

[Ian74263]

Yeah, this' probably from 1986 or 1987. They were advertising "New '87 Ford Rangers"...

[Innerdepths]

I remember most of these ads and every once once in a while i find myself singing the casino taxi song all these years later. Does anyone have that ad from Green Gables about late night shopping? "If you forgot to buy some food, now it's late!"

[YYZ2]

If I had to guess, I'd say the building at the beginning of the Casino taxi commerical is the then-named "Maritime Mall", now known as the Maritime Center.

[YYZ2]

@YYZ2 And judging from the Google Streetview (corner of Barrington and Salter streets), they haven't repaved Barrington street since that commercial was shot.

[alexkron]

@YYZ2 You are correct!

[petrov32]

SO VERY AWESOME! Thanks for posting.

[xLonelyAspiex]

I love the Pizza Delight commercial song.

[LadyBria1996]

Jeez, my neighbour didn't even exist in the 80's XD

And i can't believe Casino Taxi is still using that jingle XD

[LadyBria1996]

@LadyBria1996 oops sorry I meant neighbourhood

[nightmathzombieethan]

Casino taxi! I still remember this tune...years later! and is that the maritime museum at the beginning of the ad? "Blackened Steak!!!! That's not my bill!!" LOL

Holy Crap this brings me back.... it makes me homesick too, I grew up in the Valley and now I live in California!

[gravijiga]

Thanks for uploading! So did Scotia Square go through its first major internal renovation in the 80's??

[shinyplasticbag]

This is utterly fantastic. Thanks for sharing it.
