Local commercials -- those gems of advertising offering sincere pledges of service and strange visuals seemingly inspired by bath salts -- didn't disappoint this year. These ads find a special place in culture and memory with catchy songs, dated graphics and grainy film. So without further ado, revel in the cheesy glory of summer 2015's bad local ads. If you're lucky, you might run into one of these local celebrities at the grocery store (or the dog park).
