I'm looking for a Canadian commercial back in the 80s (though it could also possibly be from the early 90s). It's for a life insurance company, mentioning "Freedom 55" I think. It starts with a couple who learns they are expecting and then it's just a montage of scenes with the birth of their daughter and her growing up, getting married, etc and then pans back to the original couple with one of them asking "will we be ok?" (ie financially) and then the other saying "we're going to be just fine" 🥹
This is my all time favorite commercial - so corny and sentimental 😂 I can't find it anywhere on the internet!!!
I thought it was Wendy's, could have been anything. But a clown meant to resemble Ronald McDonald came up to a family eating at a booth in the fast food restaurant and was doing some routine. Everyone sat there without reaction, and the youngest kid at the table said something like "that's funny stuff". I remember at the time thinking the dryness of it was hilarious.
