There seem to be a few companies that only buy ad time between 2 and 5 AM and have some low budget ads of various quality.
Here they are, from best to worst:
Try Nino Furniture, somewhere in New Jersey. Not sure of the exact name, but it looks like someplace the props department of the Sopranos would go shopping from what they show in the ad.
At Home Carpet. This features a stereotypical Italian-American couple with outerborough accents having a fight over going shopping for carpet instead of watching the game on TV.
Some home improvement contractor. This ad looks like it was produced on a 1980s vintage home camcorder recording on EP mode and edited on two low end VCRs, as it appears to be just a printed sheet in front of the camera which changes with some rough jump cuts, all over home made narration. There is about two seconds of music thrown in at the end as an after thought, but is after the v/o. I haven't seen one of these lately, so they may have blown their ad budget. These only seemed to air on WABC for some reason.
Forman Mills. I have never heard of this company before, as the ads started airing in the past couple of months. Apparently it is some sort of clothing store somewhere in New Jersey. The copy of the ad is read rather fast, with the v/o guy yelling "FORMAN MILLS" every few seconds all over catalouge models mugging for the camera with a cromakeyed in moving primary color backround and picture of the store. This has to be the worst ad ever, or if not the worst the most annoying.
