A good, convincing commercial can cost a lot of money to produce. While not on the level of producing a film, the cost of writers, camera crews, actors, special effects, and music can be close, especially for commercials that are going to air during the Super Bowl. And while larger companies can handle these expenses with ease, to smaller business owners, spending this much money on a 30 second commercial spot is a gamble. Especially since there's no guarantee that the commercial will actually attract people instead of being just another nuisance to skip over with their DVR, or appearing only on some PEG Channel that no one actually watches, or might not be seen at all as more and more people switch to ad-free streaming services instead of cable or satellite. So naturally, local commercials cut corners, but are usually still halfway presentable. But this cost cutting is exaggerated in fiction. Commercials will air on ungodly time slots, the script will be cheesy, the actors will either have the theatrical chops of a toothpick or jump around and act craaaaazy, the slogan will suck, and the whole thing will be shot in front of a green screen with the worst off the shelf effects ever seen. By the time it's done, the final product will be So Bad, It's Good at best. Compare Embarrassing Ad Gig. A type of Stylistic Suck, though it can be Truth in Television as well. Compare Japandering, a kitschy foreign commercial. Note: Do not add Real Life commercials as examples here. List them on SoBadItsGood.Advertising. noreallife |

An episode of Smart Guy focused on the Hendersons making one for Floyd's roofing business, starring Floyd as a superhero called "Roofer-Man". When the commercial winds up being aired in a 3am timeslot due to the cable station executive's misleading contractnote The exec informed TJ that it would be aired "between 8 and 10". He didn't mention until the contract was finalized that he'd meant 8pm to 10am, TJ breaks into the studio and sets the computer to play it during "Sunday primetime" instead. Unfortunately, this results in the cheap, So Bad, It's Good commercial being aired during the Super Bowl, where it quickly achieves in-universe memetic status while costing the station millions in ad-revenue. | |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: The Mario Bros. are introduced early in the movie having spent their life savings making a commercial for their recently-started plumbing business, Super Mario Bros. Plumbing. Elements include the brothers ditching their New York accents in favor of Charles Martinet-esque Italian accents (which a character voiced by Martinet himself approves of), a corny rap jingle (the same one from the 1989 cartoon show), a "satisfied customer" clearly reading from an off-camera cue card (and finding the line cheesy), and a green screen conspicuously reflecting off of the brothers' skin. | |

Angel: Cordelia makes a commercial for Angel Investigations, but they never have it aired. Doyle is the on-air "talent," and he's very uncomfortable on camera. This is also probably one of the only examples of this trope that also doubles as a Tragic Keepsake, after Doyle dies. |

In Great Teacher Onizuka, Onizuka makes several low budget local commercials starring Tomoko, in order to give her a start in show business. This is actually noted to be a very cunning strategy. It's much easier to break into than the crowded national campaign markets but doing enough of them can give a similar level of coverage. | |

The Simpsons: Homer's first "Mr. Plow" ad, which aired at 3:17 AM on Channel 92 and featured Bad "Bad Acting" from the family, including Grampa as "Old Man Winter". Mister Burns' student employee recruitment tape also fits this. It was clearly filmed in a single take with Homer, Carl and Lenny as the (lack of) talent and a script that vaunts nuclear power as a better option than sawing your legs off to beg. |

Alan Wake II: Local entrepreneur Ilmo Koskela owns many of the businesses in the Bright Falls-Watery area, and makes plenty of these in order to advertise them, roping his brother Jaakko into co-starring in them with the promise of free beer. Ilmo's extreme hamminess paired with Jaakko's complete lack of enthusiasm result in them being prime examples of (intentional) So Bad, It's Good. | |

Used Cars: first they hijack a TV transmission of an Emergency Presidential Address to hawk their rival's cars (thus getting him into trouble). In another live commercial their model loses her dress. Later a legitimate (bad) commercial says that they have "styles" of cars but the audio is altered by people working for the rival to say "miles" instead; the lot is then sued for false advertising, since they don't have a mile of cars. The day is saved at the last second when the final car comes into the lot while a judge is measuring all of them with a tape measure. It's just short at first ... until the license plate covering the gas cap falls open, which adds the few inches needed to make it a "mile of cars." |

Several of Taco's ideas and schemes in The League were accompanied with these. They were typically filmed using homeless people and girls he slept with as the actors and were typically filmed in Andre's apartment (which they would break into without his knowledge). These commercials including one where he advertises the fact that he had become a unlicensed notary by pressing his notary stamp against a suicide bomber, turning him into a bikini clad supermodel. | |

DuckTales (2017): In the episode "Storkules in Duckburg", Louie films an advertisement for his company Harp-B-Gone. For some reason, Webby is cast as the husband, Huey is cast as the wife, and Storkules is cast as a baby. The commercial also has a lot of Bad "Bad Acting" and oddly placed special effects, with Huey even hanging a lampshade on the scenario by asking "Who wrote this?" in the middle of it. | |

The Donald Duck comic story "Paperino e lo spot a basso costo" has Donald and Fethry Duck working in an agency that makes zero-budget ads, made up mainly of random Stock Footage and Fethry's Bad "Bad Acting". When they accidentally end up making an advert for a shovel-producing corporation, they come out with a Special Effects Failure-laden campy ad with a terrible script about an Alien Invasion thwarted by shovel-whacking. The ad still ends up attracting thousands of customers. | |

Will & Grace}}: Karen hires Jack to appear in a commercial for her friend's mattress store. Jack proves to be terrible at it, delivering his lines in a monotone and mouthing his co-star's dialogue. Karen ends up taking over his role and appearing in the commercial herself. | |

Several of the recurring sketches on SCTV were actually commercials for businesses local to the fictional Melonville area where the SCTV station was said to be based. One of the more memorable series of sketches involved commercials for "Tex and Edna's Organ Emporium," and how Tex and Edna's divorce, and their efforts to move on, played out through the commercials. |

The third season of The Joe Schmo Show, a program in which the chosen "schmo" thought they were on a reality show but everyone else was an actor, parodied a competition to become a bounty hunter. The host, Ralph Garman, played the role of the bounty hunter Jake Montrose, and at one point there was a segment in which the schmo and actors made one of these for his bounty-hunting service. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, Earth House creates a PV for the up-and-coming GUND-ARM Inc. company Suletta and Miorine started. The commercial is laughably bad, seeing as it was created by a bunch of teenagers. Poor Suletta is shown dancing and moving with a poorly modeled Gundam Aerial that still has green screen artifacts around it, there's obvious jump cuts, Suletta is obviously at her wits end by the end of the commercial, their song is completely off-key at times and there's a goat that not only wanders in the background, it bleats at the very end of the commercial. | |

Bob's Burgers: In "Easy Commercial, Easy Go-Mercial", Bob makes a commercial to air locally during the Super Bowl, as a way of showing up Jimmy Pesto during his lavish Super Bowl party. Louise wrote the script, which includes Gene as a giant burger attacking the city with mustard, and Linda singing. Horrified at the end result, Bob ends up doing a new commercial with a retired football player named Sandy Frye, earning his family's ire. | |

The entirety of the Odd Squad episode "Odd Squad Needs You" revolves around the Big Office asking Oprah to make a commercial of the same name in order to get kids to join Odd Squad. Oscar explains to Olympia and Otis that the Big Office asks her to film a commercial every year, and instead of working together with his boss to film them, he films them himself. This leads Olympia to ask him how he pulls it off. Transition to a child watching the commercial, which is simplistic but cheesy, with Limited Animation in regards to Oprah's mouth, Oscar's terrible impersonation of her voice, and a re-used shot from the theme used in "First Day", with Oprah's head inflated. Otis offers to film a new commercial instead with Oprah as the lead actress when it's revealed that she's not easy to work with, believing that he can handle her, and it turns out to be just as bad as Oscar's previous ones, which isn't helped by Oprah's horrific acting skills and Otis' horrific editing skills. However, the climax reveals that Otis intentionally made it bad in order to team up with Olympia and film a viable commercial out of Oprah's upset reaction, which includes a Rousing Speech about what the commercial was supposed to advertise. Delivery Doug's egg salad restaurant commercial, seen in "Teach a Man to Ice Fish", looks about as cheap as you'd expect from someone who downgraded from a back-alley restaurant to two locations in a desolate area, with people in egg and egg sandwich costumes, terrible special effects, and a jingle taken straight from Doug and Debbie's combined egg salad pizza business in "Mystic Egg Pizza" and repurposed with new lyrics. |

LoadingReadyRun occasionally features the exploits of Dave's Spokesman, who advertises businesses with strange combinations of products, all owned (allegedly) by a man named Dave. He an odd manner of speaking, and may not even know what he's advertising half the time. He also does local news. Dave himself appears once, and reveals that he's been paying the Spokesman to not advertise his business. The "Antiquing" sketch starts with a classy commercial for Reilly's Antiques and Rarities Showroom starring it's owner Robert Reilly. However, the business ends up doing poorly so we then see a more down-to-earth commercial for the rebranded Reilly's Antiques Showroom and Sales Center. As things go downhill, the next commercial is for Rob's Discount Antiques Warehouse and is done in a kitchy style with Robert wearing a cowboy hat and advertising his store like it was a used car dealership. In the final commercial Robert has clearly given up and is ranting at the audience to come to Reilly's Pile of Old Crap and buy something. |

This was a replication of a real blooper from a low budget furniture store ad, and Philip Seymour Hoffman did the stunt himself. | |

Homestar Runner had a few cartoons featuring rambling derelict Senor Cardgage as a pitch-man. "Senor Mortgage" had Senor Cardgage running a financial services company, offering to help viewers "get a leg up on the pile" with the aid of "one of our handsome-talking experts". "Senorial Day" had Senor Cardgage advertising the "Senorial Day Tent Event Suprasale". Meanwhile, Bubs had his own super-cheesy ad for "Bubs-otathon", which he promoted with a series of horrible puns, such as dressing like John McEnroe and calling his competition a "total racket!" |

An online short for OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes had Lord Boxman film a commercial for his evil robot manufacturing business. The infomercial suffers from amateur camera work, haphazard editing, acting that's stilted and flat in some places and inappropriately over-the-top in others, interviewees that look and sound like they have better things to do than be there, and a cheesy jingle that gets cut off at the end. | |

Gravity Falls aired a series of shorts between seasons during commercials, one of which was a hilariously terrible in-universe commercial for the Mystery Shack hosted by Grunkle Stan which was just as cheap as its owner, with features such as wooden acting, obvious green screening, flubs left in with clumsily edited corrections, accidentally filming himself robbing a customer, sudden Mood Whiplash, Rattling Off Legal, and finishing with an inexplicable screamer. "A Tale of Two Stans" shows that Stan's first business ventures involved these as well. Compared to the one he would make for the Mystery Shack, they were comparatively low-key. |

Cobra Kai: LaRusso Auto Group's ads feature Daniel karate-chopping prices and announcing that all buying customers get their own Bonsai tree for free. If anything it demonstrates how much he can't let go of the past, just like his rival Johnny Lawrence. Tom Cole, Daniel's business rival, counters with his own ad in which he dresses up like a Yankee and promises customers a free drought resistant cactus. |
