It could be nostalgia, but I feel like commercials used to be a lot better. Well produced jingles, kinda funny characters, etc. In the 90’s, everything on MTV was designed to make you feel cool for watching it, even the commercials.

Now there are just too many ads for medications. Oh, and those ads that pretend to be the lowest quality twitch streams with no production at all.

There were two types of ads on TV. The expensive widely broadcasted ads from the big firms. These are likely the ones you remember.

Then there were the locally produced low budget ads. Like the car dealerships dressed in costumes shouting at the camera.

Those were fun too. Cal had a different animal in each ad!

Edit: also, Ernest!
