    Growing up I never understood why some of these spots aired in between my cartoon shows after school.

    You know this guy isn't selling furniture. Proof below.

    This guy killed it on the West Coast, surprisingly.

    A regional appliance chain in my neck of the woods growing up. They had the best commercials until they went belly up.

    I was coming here to post Eastern Motors ads.

    Dunkin’ Donuts was much more regional when these spots aired.

    Love's was (still might be) a staple in L.A. My dad loved going there.

    Ribs. A restaurant for ribs. Date night and a plate full of ... ribs.

    The craziest local ads are always on the non-affilates (or WB-type stations) after 10 p.m. on the weekends. Seriously, I'm thinking half of them are just fronts for criminal activity.
