    There's a funny one on the radio here with Colts center Jeff Saturday touting a home-restoration service in which he says he's a three-time repeat customer. Three times? Does he live in the world's worst flood plain?

    Always liked this Bronson Arroyo car ad, which presumably didn't make it to TV:

    The local ads with athletes are the best for trainwreck possibilities.

    On a national level they're never THAT bad.

    A couple classic Gretzky commercials
    His acting never improved with age






    Well this one isn't a commercial, but I thought it was worth throwing in anyways.

    the espisito ad is pretty bad...especially seen now. But back in the 70s/80s I had those ugly Sasson jeans.

    I just wonder if that ad was considered that bad 31 years ago.

    Holy shit that was funny.

    I always hate those radio ads done for sports broadcasts that try to jam in as many sports metaphors into 30 seconds as possible, whether selling radiator service, hot dogs or life insurance.

    Those ads are hilarious, in a "so bad it's good" kinda way.
