How come there are two commercials for this doll that are in English, there is feeling fun Barbie and then this one is Barbie jeans? Also, I’m wondering if there’s a way to validate that this did come out in 1989. I’m trying to make a historically accurate video on Barbie. Thanks!!
Tomorrow's faces??? Really????
I remember seeing this in school
so did it really send them back or just evaporate them?
This is a great movie! It made me cry.
Jesus i remember these commercials...its crazy how back then you had to wealthy or a drug dealer to have a cell phone and now everyone excluding homeless ppl have a cell phone
I haven't laughed this hard in weeks!😂😂Whats his name? "Chimpy"?!
A great story, thanks for uploading this!
I was in as soon as that synthesizer music started up.
I really hope they don’t close it.
Thanks so much for uploading this! I am a big fan of your channel. There is actually another version of this video that is a bit longer, and features some more solos. It was here on KZread a few years ago, but I cannot find it now. If I do, I will add the link.
Greed and corruption is out of control. What a time to be alive.
I love Mary Browns Fride Chicken!! I have gotten good feedback from the company. They have sent me coupons.👌 💕 Love their Chicken!!👍 👍 :)
Upvote this video to reach the notice of the YT algorithm. Ive been searching for a first McDonald's in Russia Puskin Square longer documentary for a while. And i'm sure many of you here have also.
Ooh, I love my ugly boy So rough and tough Don't care about anything but me Yes, I just love him 'cause he's so crazy Just crazy about me
It’s the Actress from “The Andromeda Strain”!!!!

She looks like late 50s not early 40s.
This woman is Yasmine Dahm.
What the.....!? I know this is the science center but what did my eyeballs just see? Maybe the most bizarre seventies-licious thing ever!!! Lol..

This was such a weird flex. The robot makes you watch her do all kinds of cool shit for like a solid minute and then looks at the camera and tells a bunch of 90s kids "I'm a cool space robot. I can do all this awesome stuff, and you cant, so don't even try."
We can now celebrate the death of this once great country. Canada should change the name to Immigrantia. Its bearable living in Immigrantia, until African refugees make it violent and dangerous.
Its the paperboy
Anyone commenting on lyric changes; if you can't recite the whole anthem of the top of your head in French, then you can kindly STFU. 😂
The girl using the phone looks sooo familiar! Anyone know if she’s someone famous?
Happy Canada Day from Poland 🇵🇱🤝🏻🇨🇦!
McGruff should be in a serious R rated feature film
This version of the anthem is giving me flashbacks to singing every morning in grade school:)
R.I.P. Donald Sutherland. Kiefer, his son, will never forget him.

The good old days, when they felt no need to change the words of O' Canada.
Maybe you should look up the history of O Canada, because the lyrics have changed several times. You sensitive snowflake. 😊
I love how Donald ensured everyone was looking at him. If you notice, he's on his toes, at the end, as the camera focuses in on him, in passing. Then he does a little head movement, before dropping to his heels. Actors are hams.
I remember when “God keep our land” horseshit was added. Thanks Trudeau.
Happy Canada day 🇨🇦🎇🎆 I proud to be a Canadian and celebrate the birthday of my beautiful country God bless Canada
We won’t let it go without a fight.
I used to watch this as a kid, after school. Loved this guy.
Thumbnail doesn't actually appear in this video? I clicked because I recognized the 1981 Canada Summer Games from here in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Here I am being annoyed that commericals are interrupting my commericals lol life's funny sometimes
In all thy sons’ command. Damn straight.

Every day BokBok Station begins its broadcast with the NFB version... This is great though, I think I'll "borrow" this for tomorrow's wakeup (~5am Pacific).
I remember going there for field trips when I was a kid. I wanted to go back one last time….😢😢😢
time to stand up and fight for whats left
You’re a little late zoomer.
@@kidfortoday "ZOOMER" lol, NOT UNLIKE A LIBERAL TO JUST ASSUME THINGS :)
His dad is a political GOD! single payer healthcare pensions and workers rights all with only 12 seats and their first term as a party the NDP Tommy Douglas.
Actually, Tommy Douglas was Donald Sutherland's father-in-law.
please don't call the mentally retarded the mentally retarded.
As a person form America, I’d would like to wish you a happy Canada day! 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦

THE REAL O CANADA. Back when singing the anthem ment something. Canada will never be a good country anymore. Coming from a REAL CANADIAN here.
I somewhat agree...way too many parasites reside in this country now
Sadly agree.
If it's written in all caps, it must be true.
My friend we are all real Canadians. We are all one country.
You certainly don't speak for this ACTUAL Canadian
Happy former Dominion Day!

@@Hutchandkingpeytoni Ha ha! Nah, I am very much botless. :P
@@Hutchandkingpeytoni LOL!......Botless here.
In a different way, the ending reminds me of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. They would give everything for the person they love, or nothing matters.
Thanks. This story asks a simple question: " who are the real savages here?".
