A good commercial can cost a lot of money to produce. Writers, camera crews, actors, special effects, music can all pile up. And while larger companies can handle the cost, 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. So naturally, local commercials cut corners, but are usually still halfway presentable. A type of Stylistic Suck, though it can be Truth in Television as well.

So naturally, local commercials cut corners, but are usually still halfway presentable. But this cost cutting is taken Up to Eleven 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. A type of Stylistic Suck, though it can be Truth in Television as well. Note: Do not add Real Life So Bad It's Good or downright horrible commercials as examples. Examples of Kitschy Local Commercial include:
