In the 70s some may remember local TV could be exceedingly bad and cheesy. Local commercials even worse. Where I grew up we had a car dealership (Bel-Air Chevrolet) that became quite the phenomenon for how truly bad their commercials were. The spots revolved around a father (dad) and a son (junior) of course trying to sell cars. With the son imploring the dad that their prices were just too low and with the dad commanding, do the deal or sell, sell, sell. In the beginning their performances were quite robotic and you could tell they were more than uncomfortable in front of the camera. The spots were nails on blackboard hard to watch. But something clicked and they became local celebrities with people anticipating how bad the next one could possibly be. Sadly I haven't been able to find any clips and I am sure the dealership is long gone. But the memory of those silly things always brings a smile to my face.
