Nothing says "COME IN AND BUY A CAR!" like a professional athlete talking over some cheesy music in a local car dealership commercial. At least, that's what local car dealers seem to think. Because over the years, we've seen dozens of car dealerships from all over the country ask MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL players to star in their commercials. And in most instances, the results have been as catastrophic as a car crash.

From the crappy graphics that are used in most of the commercials to the stiff, dry deliveries of just about all of the pro athletes who have ever starred in one, we've had enough of these awful advertisements. Just check out our list of The Worst Local Car Dealership Commercials Starring Pro Athletes. Do any of these actually make you want to go and buy a car?
