Local commercials

February 16, 2010Jon Brooks Comments Off

Despite all the unemployment, bankruptcy, and business failure out there, commerce continues all over America. It’s not easy for the little guy, but a company called MicroBilt, which sells data services to small businesses, is offering help.

In a somewhat brilliant promotion, MicroBilt has hired a local North Carolina comedy duo, Rhett & Link, to produce commercials at no charge for small local businesses nominated by people over the Web.

The commercials are aggregated at the site I Love Local Commercials. I’m not sure where else the ads have run, but they have garnered hundreds of thousands–and in at least one case, millions–of page views over the Web.

Here are four particularly amusing ads that might have been created for “Saturday Night Live.”

Except they’re real.
