Courtesy of Boing Boing comes this local commercial for a flea market in Montgomery, Alabama (see it below). Yes, it's silly, lame, and goes on a little too long, but for a locally-produced ad, it's really not that bad. I'm not expecting high quality from local advertising, anyway.
The man in the video is the owner of Flea Market Montgomery, Sammy Stephens. In case the video isn't enough, I would like to remind you that his store is just like a mini ... mall. Stephens has already gained some notoriety, most notably on The Ellen Show when host Ellen DeGeneres asked him to appear because she found his commercial so funny.
Click ahead, crank up your computer speakers, and get down with what is most likely the greatest rap song ever written about a flea market.

Clearly you haven't seen the Two Brothers commercials here in Atlanta. I think those take the cake. They keep making them and coming up with worse and worse ideas, but I suppose they're working because they're still able to afford them.

Is it ironic that this clip ends with the guy standing on an EMPTY parking lot?
Still, I think it was pretty unique. And it sticks in your head, despite how annoying it is. It'll probably attract business like Empire Carpets and Head-On did.
