And you won’t see them. It’s just Infotainment between ads.

you too see the disgusting message those ads are sending

Doesn't sound like someone I would like to know.

I haven't a clue what the subtext is. Sorry.

but yeesh I'm sick of seeing that one thirty times a night, too...

The one in the gym is the worst.
First woman says "the big hunk" when her husband uses Big Hurt. He meekly acknowledges it.
Then, when Frank says I Found Nugenics, another woman says "I wish my husband did!"
WTF is all that about?

so they really cheaped out on the production values for the actual commercial....

The rich for lent.

baked or broiled???

They have no shame.

Maddow & the first 15 mins of ABC world news.

What gets me is the overexposure of Flo from Progressive and the loudness of car/truck commercials.

they are cheap and annoying but make sure you hit all those conservative stations. For months on end in NY they would air them against Democrats. Not everybody has satellite radio and usually they follow the strongest signal station in the area. They also hit the local affiliates on cable with quick ads. A barrage the month before the election and sporadic before its softens them up.

i mute. i switch channels. anything but watch.

and sometimes it's more commercials than content. plus the channels collude so they're all running commercials at the same time!

maddening. advertising permeates every aspect of life and we never talk about that. it's at the gas station, it's in the cab, at the grocery store. and because of greed, it just gets worse and worse.

The one thing that bothers me the most about going from dish to streaming is that you CAN'T FF THE COMMERCIALS anymore! Now, all I can do is mute them, but I have to be right there to do that. If I leave the room and a commercial comes on, it is almost 3 times the volume of the regular program so you must hear it. I refuse to pay another $50 a month to have the ability to remove commercials, so guess I'm stuck.

let the program build up some time in the cache and then you can ff? I do that when I’m watching a live sporting event on cable; I’ll go fix dinner while the game is paused and then I don’t have to watch any more commercials.

I have DirecTVNow, and it doesn't allow me to do any of that.

This burns me up too.. We PAY for that service every month in the bill why should we have to pay EXTRA to avoid commercials..

That's why I love SHO & HBO, and some of the other premium channels..

Just pass it through the window from your Rolls to me in my Bentley. I need to add some flavor to this rather bland Zuckerberger. Ta.

... a favorite variety of Maille to smear on my kielbasa.

The search begins ...

Odd that I can't add an accent aigu ( for "trés" ) in the reply title. Phooey.

I had to do a sewarch for high end mustards to come up with that one..
Now I just may try it on... something...




Copy and paste is your friend

"trés"

in which various members of the Trump Crime Family explain how BDO helped them avoid paying billions in taxes -- and then GIVE ACTUAL EXAMPLES from the reporting by the NYT ...

(for legal protection, they could change it to BDL -- Billum, Doe, and Lotz*.)













*stolen from Carl Barks.

gangrene of the genitals

Like you, I have seen this ad far too often -- and I do not have a vineyard to pass to my kids! One would think that the small number of people with those small businesses likely have accountants/ financial planners who they use for audits, taxes etc. Hard to believe that an ad of this type would cause them to consider changing unless they were already dissatisfied.

the loopholes/dodges/advantages that are allowed under our current tax code. For example: The estate and gift tax total exemption per individual for 2019 is $11,400,000 and $22,800,000 for a couple. I can not blame someone for legally using the system in place to give wealth to their family, friends or whoever they want with no tax penalty to those who receive the gift. Our system is broken. Elect representation that will address the system and maybe spend less political capital attacking those who legally use the system to avoid tax obligations because it is LEGAL to do so. It is fiscally irresponsible for folks with money to not use the system to their advantage. So lets remove the advantage, fix the system and put everyone on an equal footing.

switch to MSNBC, but the ads there are mostly prescription drug ads, which are just annoying.

I am definitely disturbed at the idea of passing on vast untaxed wealth generation to generation. While the working class struggles. Its a very tone deaf ad in these times.

Father: "You can't! You'll get killed on the taxes"!

Cry me a river.

that they're blind and it messes up their clocks. Like their doctors won't know about that drug (I'm assuming there's a drug, or else they wouldn't be selling it...)

I watch plenty of stuff via the internet, but without commercials.

I'm now nearly 11 years without regular TV, and I doubt I will ever go back. When I'm in a hotel, I occasionally turn on the TV for a bit, but within 30 minutes have to turn it back off because the commercials are so annoying.

There are commercials on the internet too. Every time I watch YouTube I see commercials.

Not on what I watch on YouTube.

I mostly watch shows on Hulu, Amazon Prime, or Netflix. No commercials there.

Also, when one of the networks puts up a show to be watched on the internet there are no commercials. I so rarely see them that I generally have zero patience for them any more. For one thing, I can watch significantly more content because 30% of the time isn't taken up by ads.

Not sure why you're seeing commercials on YouTube.

But I'm not aware of a YouTube pay service.

And I believe you don't get commercials when you pay. I pay for Hulu and I get commercials.

The YouTube ones come on before videos sometimes. Sometimes they say video will play after ad. Sometimes you can skip ad in a certain number of seconds. Sometimes with long videos there are several ads throughout the video.

I pay for Hulu without commercials. I kind of think they have more than one level to pay for. I originally did the free Hulu and both got tired of the commercials and the limited offerings.

I was completely unaware of a pay YouTube service. I'm not about to pay and still watch commercials.

TOTALLY NOT RELEVANT

A sexual harassment wife beater, abuser, FIRED by FOX, and yet MSNBC allows a commercial on for which he is a spokesperson. Forget the product, it's something I would never purchase anyway.

get most of my news on line . dont read papers or listen to the radio. i have ad blockers on and i wont go into sites that demand me to turn em off. i ignore the web ads here and one should be careful clicking on them i got a nasty suprise from one of them via my virus blocker . i hear ya man about the audio compression up so loud that it hurts .

STOP watching the boob tube... the so-called NEWS shows aren;t news shows anyway. They are just entertainment.

Just think about it---- "CNN" Cable News Network,. but is is NOT a news outlet. it is a Whoopie Goldberg show with a newsie-looking set

How often do you see ANYTHING except American national political entertainment there?? And it is the same three things over and over and over and over and over.. (How do I know? Well, 5 TVs are on at the gym. LOL)))
It's a drug.




I don't watch ANY TV or online news entertainment at all after finally cutting everything off. There are plenty of places to find ouot wjhat is going on without it..

DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND !!!

Our television plays DVDs and Netflix. That's all it does. No cable, no satellite, no broadcast.

I may be cranky, but not because of television commercials. They no longer exist in my private universe.

It's cheap too. My wife and I have an inexpensive DSL connection, which we'd have anyways because we need it for work, and the lowest cost Netflix subscription.

Between Netflix, DVDs I find in thrift stores, and the local Redbox, we haven't run out of stuff to watch on television yet.

Hell yes, I'm an evangelist against traditional television. Television "news" is especially worthless and hazardous to one's mental health.

Without television Trump wouldn't be President.

Yuck! They seem to play it during the breakfast hour when I'm trying to catch up with the overnight news and it always makes me gag.

I was on the eliptical 2x. about 20 minutes each tme.

The ENTIRE time CNN was all Notre DAME.

nOTHNG ELSE.. NADA..



Sorry for the caps lock..

I don't have a problem with their existence. Yes this company handles the money of wealthy people, but they employee thousands and thousands of regular folks like you and me.

And yes. These company do need to advertise. They want to keep the company running, those folks employed and part of that is keeping the company name in the public's mindshare. (the basic goal of advertising)

But their ads. Many they are so dooschey. They piss me off too.
