I'm visiting the 'rents in Buffalo right now. I swear to God, Buffalo has the worst locally produced commercials of any metropolitan area in the United States. About 95% of all local commercials fall into one of the following categories:
1) Personal injury attorneys. Seems like half of Buffalo's workers are on disability, judging from the frequency of these commercials.
2) Anything with a voiceover by a local, relatively famous AM radio disk jockey from the 1960s or 1970s. Does every other commercial really need a voiceover by Stan Roberts or Danny Neverath?
3) Italian-American auto dealers who talk and act like they're Sopranos cast members. "MINGIA, IT'S HUUUUUUGE!"
4) Anything with a cheesy soft jingle, performed by subpar studio musicians. You even hear jingles for businesses that shouldn't have them, like ...
"Niaaaagara Colostomy Supplyyyyy ...
We caaaare a-bout youuuuu!"
or ...
"We're theeeere when you need uuuuus ...
Frontieeeeer Cane and Walkeeeeeer!"
