Crazy Joe's 1984

[1419Retro]

For today's standards, those are very cheapish graphics for a commercial. Then again, its a small business with a low budget

[RetroWinnipeg]

I wonder what that clunky computer font is in that commercial...pretty much identical to the old Environment Canada Weather channel in Winnipeg (and oddly similar to the font on the new Winnipeg Jets jerseys).

Omg thats my dad with crazy joe!!! Who posted this? I was in one of his commercials too when I was a kid. Do you have anymore of his commercials or do you know where I can find them?

[Fongolitus]

"People come and Rave about it! They Go Maaad!!!" I'm sure they do!

[Fongolitus]

:08 "we've got "are you kidding?!" one of the nicest selections in town!!' Priceless!

And ask for Jim.

An early Ali G without all the bling bling lol.

I seriously love all these old Canadian commercials.

You have to ask, do you even get commercials like these anymore with interesting people?

[RedDragoon]

Yeah. You have have to move to a smaller town and see all the local commericals for all the businesses.

[mangdannyboy]

oh yes, we do--here in toronto, at least...there's russell "cashman" oliver, who'll give his money for gold jewellery. OH, YEEEEEEEAH! :D

[CliffColeclough]

Why does this have such a SCTV feel to it? Love it!

[ChrisWestaway]

i think it's the accents

[spazbhoy]

SCTV did a a parody of these ads. Eugene Levy played Crazy Joe.

[makedonijanata]

Yup, they sure did. They called it "Crazy Hy's".

[Ripplin]

First thing I thought of when I saw this. :) Phil was good, too. (Phil's Nails, for instance)

[steeltownbrown52]

I howled when I first saw SCTV do a Crazy Joe parody the first time. It was the total opposite.

[yvesperret]

The hat, the glasses...throw some Adidias and gold chains on the first guy and he could almost be the missing white member of Run DMC.
