So a couple of North Carolina comedians, Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, started to collect embarrassingly bad local TV commercials for fun, and now they've got a sponsor so they can come to your town and make a free embarrassing TV commercial for the local business that you nominate. The idea has proved so popular that apparently many businesses have been nominating themselves. The real stars, of course, are the collected local TV commercials themselves, and some of the absolutely worst ever have been lovingly preserved here for posterity. No professional editing, scriptwriting, direction, costume or makeup has been allowed to come between the local business and its shot at commercial TV success. It's humorous in a kind of quirky, edgy way, by which of course we mean that you might well not find it funny at all. You might cringe at the sight of upstanding members of the business community unintentionally making themselves look bad in the interest of self promotion. But hey, these ads are a national treasure, albeit a very small one, and someone needs to make sure they're saved for future generations to enjoy.

Old and worn out: The Cox commercial where the couple walks up to the realtor saying their house is a lemon, the internet is slow. The realtor tells them there is Cox in the area and she will put it in writing for the new couple buying a house. It needs to stay buried and do not drag it out anymore!
