Terrible Local Ads
Sep 20, 2009 in Advertising
The folks at College Humor were kind enough to craft a handy compilation of the 22 most awesomely terrible local ads. <link>.
While many of the ads are downright awful, a few (including a familiar Super Bowl spot) are absolute gems. For instance, I find the commercial for Fred and Sharon’s Movies to be painful, but enjoy the ruthless Cash 4 Gold spot. The AFSCME commercial is “friggin’ hilarious” as well.
Many of these are ads entertaining, but nothing is more so than the advertisements between the advertisements. While College Humor is the web’s #1 comedy site, the idea of a company paying for advertising on a compilation like this seems cannibalistic. Oh well.
