I keep trying to remember the Television City commercial from way back, and a McDonalds one...(Big Mac special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun). I used to do a playground clapping game with that one. I like catchy jingles.  
 
So...  
 
Television City  
Old McDonald's ad  
"Big Blue Dot" (from a few years back too)  
 
I am sure I have others, this is just what comes mind right now.  
 
I am looking forward to the shows that show the funny ads in the past year from around the world. I am rarely disappointed by those.  
 
 

we got big ones small ones black and white and colour  
Ahhh mazing no television city.  
 
That's all I can remember right at the moment but I used to say that one over and over. and if someone says amazing my mind automatically goes to "No television city" But seems no one gets my humour.  
 
I also have the jiggle they used on circle square television show for their address. Sad thing is every time I drive to Regina there is a sign for circle square ranch and I honestly can not stop myself from singing it. My husband thinks its funny and knows when we get to that spot that it is coming. I even looked up their address once in the last year or 2 to see what was at it now.  
 
damn jiggles.  
Now for everyone else to get it in their head along with me...  
Circle Square wants to hear from you  
so write us a letter  
here's our address  
21 21 station F  
Toronto Ontatio  
M4Y 2N9  
Mmm without the tune not as exciting to read.

I am stuck on band-aid brand 'cause band aid's help heal me.....I am stuck on band-aid brand 'cause band aid's stuck on me......

What do you call a place that sells brand name televisions,  
Big ones, small ones, black and white and colour,  
Radios, stereos, something for your mother,  
Open 10 'till 10, six day a week,  
At three great stores if you want to take a peek,  
Aaaah-mazing...Television City

to that I did not know there were 3 stores. I remember the other part about your mother once you put it there. aaaah mazing

Thanks! That brought a smile to my face. Finally the jingle is complete.

This instantly makes me think of the commercial that used to be on CKX for Kuipers Bakery. I cannot for the life of me remember the tune of it, but I remember the baker dancing with reference to his "buns".

the Lew Miles Las Vegas commercial?

! I was humming the circle square address just last week!  
 
"Hello?  
 
It's Patrick! He just took out life insurance. Good for you son. At my age it's probably too late for life insurance..."

I remember the Lew Mile Las Vegas commercials!  
From the same era, commercials for Raveen!  
 
Remember the 7up commercials with Fido Dido?  
Max Headroom for Coke!

I sing this OFTEN.... And yes, people look at me dumbfounded!  
 
BOOM! What do you call a place that sells brand name televisions,  
Big ones, small ones, black and white and colour,  
Stereos, tape or disc, something for your mother,  
We even have a big screen if you wanna take a peek!  
Aaaah-mazing... No! Television City!

Here's a treasure trove of old commercials from Winnipeg. There's the odd Brandon commercial.

the Weather man jingle to the smarties song!  
 
When you want your weather and you want your weather fast,  
do you rely on your instincts or a forecast from the past?  
Ron, He's got your daily outlook!  
and he's made it last!  
When you want your weather better tune in for our cast!

remember a commercial about a little boy singing about "Oscar Mayer Weiners" that stuck with me for a while until now.

My baloney has a first name,  
It's O-s-c-a-r.  
My baloney has a second name,  
It's M-y-e-r-s.  
Oh I love to eat it everyday,  
And if you ask me why I'll say,  
"Cuz Oscar Myers has a way with B-o-l-o-g-n-a!"

Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener  
That is what I'd truly like to be  
For if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener  
Everyone would be in love with me!

Hello...  
It's Patrick, he took out life insurance,  
 
Good for you son,  
At my age I'm probably too old for life insurance.  
 
No dad, You're never too old for life insurance, the Miller's are older than you and they've just been insured for life by Norwich Union.  
 
You must have to take a medical  
 
No you don't have to take a medical and no salesperson will call just dial 1-800-263-9899 a salesperson is standing by to take you call.  

I hum the tune from the old smarties commercial. I don't remember how it went but Do you eat the red ones last?

When you're eat your smarties do you est the red ones last?  
Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast?  
Eat the candy coated chocolate, but tell me when I ask,  
When you eat your smarties do you leave the red for last?
