I watch tv all day--I know, I've got to do some other stuff one of these days but the energy is not there yet.
Anyhow, I see commercials all day and am so tired of most of the commercials. The ones I'm especially sick of:
Roundup and all the Law firms Who Want to Sue
Colonial Penn
All the Progressive Insurance commercials
And all of the Medicare Supplement Insurance commercials!
Over and over again drives me crazy!
How about you?
Haven't tried either of them. I should download Acorn tv, is it free?
Cannot stand the longgggg drug commercials, showing people loving life while in the background they are telling you it may cause cancer, blindness, etc, I hate fast food commercials and Dr. Ho commercials. I never did understand it when it is said that millions tune into the Superbowl just to see the new commercials!
I like the Mrs. Emu one too! I really enjoy the Chantix turkey commercials, they come out with new ones all the time, just saw a new one today. I like the coloring of the turkey and they way he's dressed and the outdoorsey things he does.I have to confess that I always look forward to seeing Mrs. Limu Emu and the Chantix cold turkey!
They don't bother me, during commercials I usually get up to use the bathroom or get coffee or do something else. The only one I CANNOT stand is the one of the guy sitting in a recliner and this black oozy liquid starts coming up and engulfs him. I look away or leave, it's so creepy. I still don't know what the commercial is about.
Yes, I believe that the Detectorists is still on. We have stopped Acorn & now are enjoying "BritBox" for the same price.Thanks for reminding me about Acorn. I did subscribe to them for a while and let it go because I was caught up in several Netflix and Prime series. But Acorn does have some very good shows, especially for those who, like me, enjoy British programming. One series I loved on Acorn was a charming series called The Detectorists. It's about the quirky types who are fanatic about walking about the local countryside with metal detectors, looking for ancient Roman coins. It's very funny, and absolutely delightful. Is that one still on Acorn?
On Netflix, I am currently enjoying Better Call Saul for the second time around. Just finished The Crown. I don't mind rewatching a series if I previously enjoyed it. They also have some great classic movies, such as Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Shindler's List.
On Prime, I love The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, also Victoria.
I'm OK with commercials. They remind me of the old days when all TV channels had commercials. Time to grab a drink, go to the bathroom, etc. The only ones I HATE are the John Cena Skyy commercials (loud whispering) or the Luke Wilson Colgate commercials (loud ice-crunching). I do not have misophonia; they are simply obnoxious commercials.
Agreed 100%!!It seems that years ago, commercials were a wash. To me some were bland, some were clever, and some were cute -- but none were offensive.
Today, at least half of them are offensive. Repeating the phone number a zillion times at the end, speeding up the disclaimer to ridiculous levels, etc. NOT TO MENTION that the stupid (especially radio) stations only play like four different commercials and they play them AT EVERY BREAK.
I can't tell you how many times I flip the channel on the radio every day because of the commercials (I have it on all day while I'm working).
There are still some neat ones though. Most recently there is a local car dealer ad and the jingle they have is really pleasant and nice. I love hearing it every time it comes on.
Too bad so many companies are too stupid to figure all this out.
Agreed 100%!!
