When commercials come on I...?

Just wondering how people react to commercials, whether on TV or radio.

I hate them, especially repetitive ones.

I use them as a chance to take the trash out, unload the diswasher, go to the bathroom, get a snack, or anything else that I need to do at the time. If I don't have anything to do, I sit and wait for them to end.

Some of them are ok. Geico ones can actually be a bit entertaining.

The only commercials I want on my TV are videogame ads and maybe some movie and Anime ads as well but nothing else.

When I'm finding commercials particularly annoying, I'll have a commercial-free movie channel ready to go with the "Last Channel" button. So when a commercial comes on during the show I'm actually watching, I switch over (previously I timed how long a commercial interval lasts so I know when to switch back).

I know the commercials pay for the ability to show certain shows or movies, and some are funny or worth watching. What gets me is when the commercial takes nearly 40% or more of the viewing time of the actual show, and shows the same boring crap over and over, like they are attempting brain washing.

Actually, that sounds cool. Seriously.

As far as the topic goes...heh heh heh..

NOT watching TV has its benefits. I have to tolerate internet adds while I watch online videos, though, but, we usually skip over those. You guys would be surprised at how much time you would have if you didn't watch TV. It's great.

Finally, someone who agrees with me.

Internet ads, oh god. I just want to see a video on Youtube but suddenly I get these annoying Google ads. Curse you Google mad

It depends on the show I'm watching. I'm not really a demograpgic target for anyone except for movies and the occasional game. Some are entertaining, some aren't. I skip over them frequently.

Masturbate from flaccid to ejaculation and see if I can do it before the tv show comes back on. This is particularly challenging around Christmas what with most ads being for kids toys. Also difficult during daytime tv when most ads are for denture fixing cream, adjustable beds and stairlifts.

But I do my best.
