Doc Cherokee, SASS#48332 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hate the lawyer ones, the drug ones, the medicare part B ones, the reverse mortgage ones etc etc etc There are a few I kind of enjoy though often I have no clue what they are selling nor would the ad make me more likely to buy from them. Lets just go over to namby pamby land and get you some self confidence ya jackwagon! That's the one for the insurance company with ol' R. Lee Ermey.. "Does a drill instructor make a bad therapist?" They also have one with the great Charlie Daniels fiddlin'! Those and a few more, can be more entertaining than many of the programs shown.. The majority of them just plain su*k though..Downright insulting to any half-intelligent person! The ones they show back-to-back really tick me off, or the ones that blare out the phone # they want you to call repeatedly! The worst thing though, is the NUMBER of them they show nowadays..When I was a kid, heck all the way till the time I was a young man, they would show one at the beginning of a 30 minute program, then one in the the middle, and one at the end..Now it takes 3+ hours (or more) to show a 90 minute movie..A 30 minute sitcom will have about 15 minutes or less of actual program, the rest is commercials ..I've also noticed some networks are worse than others for this.

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Erectile misfortune dysfunction commercials are the worst T. H. O' Sullivan Black Mesa Ranch New Mexico Closely followed or exceeded only by womens hygiene, hemorhoidal problems, incontinence, and diarrhea. Oh yeah, if you want to see some really bad stuff watch the commercials your kids see on saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well, do the math. There are 168 hours in a week. If you run say an average of 10 commercials an hour at x $s per, that is 1,680 commercial/week for one channel. I suspect that my numbers are conservative at best. In my neighborhood there are some 150 +channels. Why that is, I do not know. That comes out to 252,000 commercials in one week. Are we taking big bucks here? They also need programs to go along with the commercials so that is why we get such crap on TV. Personally, I do not see a need for more than twenty channels at most, divided into interest groups. Entertainment, education, Travel, children, Game shows, sports. I doubt that they would give us "news" so perhaps just the weather. News could be in with the game shows. But that ain't gonna happen in my lifetime. Maybe never. Edit because I can't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Will Bartell Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Whew! Guess I struck a nerve here. I doagree withthe prevailing opinion though - commercials for the most part are mind-numbing crap that makes me mad I can't get to the mute button fast enough. And yeah - why would one need two bathtubs in order to do the wild thing??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache Hawk 60642 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The one that chaps my a$$ the most are those stupid Allstate ones with that idiot called mayhem.Not sure who was the dumbest making that one.The twit or twits that thought it up or the exec of Allstate that said...WOW...Brilliant...let's do those. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The really good news about commercials is that they put both a MUTE and an OFF button on the remote. Another question is, what did we do before the Remote? With only 3 channels it was not such a big help, I guess. Besides, you had to get up to adjust the rabbit ears, and take a pee anyway.

I thought those commercials were for a demolition company specializing in turning your home into a jungle and leaving you with nothing but a couple of bathtubs to live in.

Willie Wheelgun Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Another couple weeks and football will be over and I won't have the telly on until late summer. In the meantime, someone take out that green lizard and fire that stupid looking broad peddling insurance. Oh and the truck ads showing what trucks cannot do and what only what a brain dead individual would do with their truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
