Line 211:
** Also, great though Neil Diamond is, Labatt is single-handedly responsible for why "Sweet Caroline" remains popular to younger people.
** A brief-but-popular mid-eighties campaign traded on both the brand name and Canada's multiculturalism: "So I go into La bar, and I order La beer..."
* Molson Canadian's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRI-A3vakVg 'I Am Canadian'] ad. Basically an average Canadian (Jeff Douglas) gets on a stage and systematically refutes [[Canada, Eh?|pervasive stereotypes of Canadians]].

** Bizarrely, that jingle is know widely outside of Canada; in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, that is (just replace the "Can-a-da!" part of the jingle with "U.S.A.!"). For some reason, Sleep Country decided to expand its brand.... but only into Washington and Oregon, where the jingle is very much a local in-joke, with one of Sleep Country's commercials [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbUvchOdb4Q being parodied] by a Western Washington company who themselves are well known for ''their'' commercials.
* "Who's better than Bad Boy?" "
* The War Amps commercial featuring the android running through the [[Death Course]]. "I can put my arm back on, you can't." The live action version is considered superior to the later CGI version.
* Similar to the Canadian Heritage Minute are the ''Hinterland Who's Who'' vignettes, which were spoofed at least once on ''[[SCTV]]''. The original versions were a brief description of a notable Canadian animal, the more recent ones are more explicitly environmental.
