Makes me want to visit, but not for the “rare beef.” The lengths some song stylists will go to in order to rhyme.
Thanks to Ryan Marr for passing on the link & more Toronto TV commercials can be found over on Blog TO.

…as a counter point to the “Bad Day” TTC video that can be found in the menu after watching the commercial….
There are *so many* “bad day TTC” vides that can be found on the YouTube.
There’s also the point that the “beef that’s rare” is gray and vastly overcooked!
I totally forgot about that commerical but the jingle jogged my memory.
Awwww… With the Hollywood writers’ strike wouldn’t CityTV want to rerun a few of these for a half-hour? Or sneak it into late-night talk shows for some CanCon?
Nice PCC car!
Shawn, we must be on the same ‘TTC history’ wavelength tonight. I just this minute put up a post on Reading Toronto about this hilarious video from 1954 about when the subway opened entitled “Toronto Got Itself a Subway…..Really!”.
Comedy gold, see it here people: http://www.readingt.readingcities.com/index.php/toronto/comments/12761/
Wait…the TTC used to advertise itself on TV?
I have NEVER seen one before. Did they stop?
The TTC had a couple of good ads just a few years later (’89, ’90?). Would like to see them again.
Hello,
I posted that video and have some more TTC ads from 1988 that I will upload on the weekend. Glad people are enjoying it!
