Who doesn't love crappy, low-budget local commercials? I know I probably like them more than most. With the rhythm of bad editing, the stilted acting, and the strange "character" spokespeople, bad commercials get deep into your head like a catchy song. Not to mention that one of the other things that bad commercials may also have IS bad songs. You watch it once and it's stupid. You see it again and you start picking up on things. You see it 200 hundred times and it's an addiction. The commercial's in your blood stream and you need your fix. Sometimes I still quote word-for-word the 80s-style commercials that aired during reruns of "Gilligan's Island" when I was a kid. The large majority of which are the "Call the accident lawyers today" and "Join truck driving school" varieties.
It was therefore a great pleasure and a great surprise to see that the art form is not dead and has been taken into the next millennium through the magic of youtube.
