BEIJING, CHINA – JULY 06: Chinese shoppers sleep on a sofa in the showroom of the IKEA store on July 6, 2014 in Beijing, China.

When it comes to local advertising, whether it be on television, social media, print, or even radio, it's always seemed to me that the most creative and fun folks are the people in the car business and furniture salesmen. So when I stumbled across some of these videos for old furniture places having sales, I couldn't resist sharing them with you.

Lets just say these guys got the most bang for their buck when it came to their television ads. While I don't know how the sales went, I would sure buy from all of them! Well almost almost all of them. In this case we have saved the worst for last. So awful is the last commercial on this list, I wouldn't be shocked to find out it was just a gag in bad taste. Unfortunately, I don't think it was.
