I hate commercials !!
« on: March 24, 2022, 02:42:45 PM »
They ruin everything I'm trying to watch. 15 minutes of movie, 10 min of commercials. I zip right through them on recorder but it still pisses me off. I wont buy anything from them like that. What is a two hour movie ends up being four.

If you skip the commercials the 2 hour movie is usually a 40 minute movie.

Oh, come on, the insurance company ones with the guy in the black suit and bandages are always funny. I record the network shows I watch but will let his run. Otherwise it's fast forward to the next segment of the show. If you wait and stream the ones on CBS and NBC the commercials are gone.

  Look at the positive angle..  That is the price of the ticket we pay to see the movie for free.
  If it is on a venue where I can short cut it I will do so, otherwise I just hit the mute button.

   A strange thing has happened to many commercials IMO..  Used to be they were repetitive and boring...now days they are very often, just plain STUPID !

I totally agree with the stupid. When I see one the thought pops into my mind, "Why would a company pay good money for something this bad ?".

There is a casino that runs a commercial on the Albuquerque alphabet network stations that features three hot chicks in little clothing having a big time at the casino. When you see it the chicks ain't so hot and you wonder why a business that makes the money a casino does couldn't have spent the money on more attractive women for a commercial that plays over and over and over and----if they really want to attract a crowd.

I can ignore the commercials if I can't fast forward them and have even been know to keep a book or my kindle in my lap and read while the commercials are airing. In fact I do that regularly.

There is a casino that runs a commercial on the Albuquerque alphabet network stations that features three hot chicks in little clothing having a big time at the casino.

I recently watched a YouTube video warning tourists what not to do in Vegas, that suggestes "advertising-women" may be (and many are) hookers.  So, I discount "good looks" as the polish on a turd in a Casino town.  The lure of loose money (and morals) is where the "whores on 7th Avenue" (Simon & Garfunkel reference) live and work.

Lately, Limu-Emu (and Doug), commercials have been pretty funny, though MOST recent commercials have seriously gone to the Dark Side.  The "Stupidity Index" for commercials and "What ignorant thing will they show next?" has gone through the floorboards since Kamala took office!

Thanks GB.  LOL for making my eyes safe.  My prose weren't censored, so if they're "too much" I'll understand.

Thanks, GB. My morning coffee is good as I scroll through this thread this morning.  ;D

Another commercial that isn't too bad is where Flo's (Progressive Insurance spokesgal) sister calls her over to give her sale's pitch to put her baby to sleep.

Geico used to make funny commercials. My fav was the Tarzan one. Actually in real life Flo the actress can fix herself up to look really pretty. So can Lilly the cute AT&T girl.

Those with her sister are great; so are the ones where Flo is part of a round-table conference.

It costs $MILLION$ to make a commercial.  It is glaringly obvious - to the most casual observer - that the INSURANCE Industry makes too much PROFIT.  It spends $MILLION$ to advertise and rakes in $BILLION$ of profits. 

INSURANCE is the largest sponsor of the White-Collar recreational pursuit GOLF.  Insurance doles out $MILLION$ to the Professional Elite in favors and gratuities while raking in $BILLION$ from the fawning masses. 

How the Siren's Song of "what if" turned into the warm and fuzzy FEEL-GOOD snake-oil promise of "we'll make you whole again" that has been made MANDATORY in order to drive a car (with no promise of JAIL for those that drive without it), purchase a home (arguably necessary), or take out a loan, to name a few. 

Insurance has invaded ordinary Life in you-elect-it warranties for appliances, phones, cameras, games, computers, you-name-it.  Where does it end?  Soros, Buffett, et al, Insurance Kingpins are laughing all the way to the bank.

While I insurance rates are obscenely high, I am 100% behind mandatory vehicle insurance.  Many times I've seen uninsured drivers hit property, people, and other drivers. Most uninsured drivers are low income, and not only c
