All of them I dont want to pay for something I could careless about!
This is why we only have Netflix on our xbox and we rent movies sometimes, or we watch a lot of YouTube, sounds crazy but you can find very important info and interesting info on Youtube!  Also on our xbox we have CNN so we stay updated and I have the internet so we are able to watch shows on here as well

I am afraid I agree with the poster that stated all of them.  Or at the very least most of them.  But occasionaly one comes along that I enjoy watching.  For example the Budwiser commercials with the clidesdales in them.

There are some commercials that I have liked over the years. For example a few of the Air Jordan commercials. But for the most part all they serve as is some time for me to get a snack or go to the restroom during the show. I really have no interest in commercials for the most part and I really dislike the Cialis commercials amongst others.

I like the Capital One commercials with the baby. She has gotten bigger now and can talk a little more.  There is a few others I like also. I do not think I dislike any of them, but if there is one I do not wanna see I just pause the tv walk away and do something then come back back and fast forward lol. Gotta love that DVR.

I am a channel flipper, so I miss a lot of the commercials on tv today.

The commercials that drive me nuts are the ones that you see twice in one commercial break. As if once wasn't bad enough I have to see it twice.

All of them.  I noticed something years ago.  Any time I turned on the TV, there was most often a commercial playing.

Very true. they are always trying to sell us on something. There have been a few through the years that were clever, but mostly not!

ditto! I hate that. The same commercials playing over and over, multiple times between progams. seems like they are on all the time.

These companies are trying to sell you something you do not want or need. I hit the "mute" button too. There is a channel with no commercials. It is the Create or @Create channel. Find it in your TV and Travel around the world with no commercials.

commercials make me crazy. After 30+ years in retail, I get the point - but I am not prone to subliminal message, so could I  have a drop down list before watch a program that allows me to pick and choose which commercials I am willing to watch and the frequency at which they are played. I think any commercial about medication, female/male product(sexual or otherwise) should have parental options. Just because 3yr old Johnny should be in bed after 9pm doesn't mean that he isn't up watching TV with Mom/Dad and they have fallen asleep.
