The local commercials are usually the worst.
There are a lot of commercials advertising some new car model. So you'd expect about a minute, explaining all the features and the mileage.
Nope, the locally made car commercials around here are a mere 5 seconds long. They're usually in this format.
"[Spokesman says name of car with a picture of the car present] Don't miss out!"
And then it's over.

There are also many commercials for churches around here, too. I have to ask myself, why would a church advertise? I don't mind the commercials themselves, although some are kinda hard to understand. It's just odd that a church would advertise, I thought they didn't compete for most attenders.

Man I used to religiously wait patiently for the commercials to come up, AND NOT FOR PISS BREAKS(only). I really liked ads then. But now I try to avoid them at all costs.

Old Spice commercials are the greatest thing ever.

Here in Florida, some of these local commercials are so darn stupid, they give me a headache.

 One of them is Mattress Barn. Trust me on this one, this one REALLY gives me a headache. Usually, they feature a old guy with a mustache and usually a plaid shirt sitting on a mattress, and a very crudely rendered CGI cartoon version of him ("Buddy") about the size of a pencil, with yellow hair and mustache, and a white T-shirt, jeans and shoes (always with an annoying high-pitched voice that sounds like Daffy Duck), and the cartoon explains the blowout sales and stuff, usually ending in some really stupid and random thing (like the cartoon falling off the mattress), and ends with Buddy sleeping in pink pajamas on a cloud, which drifts from right to left, and behind him shows a map of all of the locations, and the Mattress Barn logo with the CG pig with a piece of hay in his mouth (That pig always scared me when I was younger!), and a jingle.

 I haven't seen the commercials in a while (I dont watch as much TV as I use to), but I know they are still making them.
