Post by: ktheodos on April 30, 2013, 09:50:22 pm

So .... two that I've seen lately are the "Hopper" and the "Ford ... and/or (bed and/or breakfast, sweet and/or sour chicken)" ones.....

I've seen the hopper one a lot - not that I pay much attention to commercials, I just know it plays a lot on the channels I watch.

Commercials now a days don't make any sense and half the time I don't know what they are even selling.  They don't make me want to buy products they make me want to not buy the product.

I usually fast forward through the commercials, but some are pretty cute.  Our 12 year old thinks he would be great at being "Little Mayhem", he loves the Allstate commercials with Mayhem!

The only commercials I pay attention to are the ones that are witty enough to grab my attention.  Most of them seem like a waste of time and I'm spoiled.....

I now want to be paid for watching a commercial....

thanks to the paid to watch videos on the internet.   :heart:

I had commercials of any sort.  They use 10 to 15 minutes of time once they get started.  I usually surf to another channel.  One time to see a commercial is enough for me.

     I do not like commercials...(TV or magazine posted) because these companies are trying to sell something you do not want or need.

I really don't like commercials at all, so I don't pay much attention to them. There is one that I think is from Geico or some insurance company. It two men playing guitar while on the other side of them something goes on that just don't make sense. Can't stand that commercial!!!  :BangHead:

I record almost all my TV shows so that I can fast forward through the commercials.  I've been doing this for so long, however, that I actually miss seeing commercials!  It's kind of weird.  I guess I'm just used to TV having ads.  I know there are some ads that I like or want to see.  Most of the time, I don't know what commercials are currently playing.  But I love any commercial that features furry dogs!

Yeah I've seen the Hopper one a lot. The word is actually starting to get stuck in my head.  :BangHead:

I've been seeing the previews for Bates Motel a lot also when I watch Duck Dynasty because it is on the same channel. Even thought of watching it one time, but not sure if I could keep up.
