Advertisements

Most of them but this time of year is "Oh He Went to Jarod"

Basically when the TV is on it is a lot of commercials with a little bit of program.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. lol.
I'm getting tired of Andy Willowby's 3 Step Program... "Hi. How in the world are ya?"
That one and the Net Flix. Playing the guessing game. The 1st time, cute.
The 2nd time, ok. 3rd time, ughh no. Sometimes these commercials, like tv, have been played almost back to back. Seems they do it more on the radio than tv. Maybe they figure they're only assaulting our hearing senses by way of the radio whereas with tv, it's a one-two punch both hearing and visual. Although my hearing isn't as good as it used to be so perhaps in those instances, it may be a good thing? There should be a mute button on our car radios like there is for tv remotes.

Speaking of radio ads.... what about "Patricia McCaan"???? O-M-G, could her voice/manner of speaking be any more annoying????

What I can't understand...is with the recession, how can those companies afford those constant ads on different stations. The profit margins must be HUGE! Otherwise, they'd cut down on their ads. A local furniture company is going out of business. And yet...theirs ads are all over TV! I just don't comprehend!

Thats the way i feel,
We seem to have reached a point of commercial overload/saturation as 25 minutes of commercials every hour has destroyed any sustained entertainment value tv offered, i think tv's golden years are past and computer tv is getting more popular.

Antwerpen Auto Sales in Maryland. Absolutely the dumbest, most annoying commericials. They say that if you remember a commercial (whether annoying or not) its good advertising. I disagree. Would never shop there because I associate the name with having to change channels repeatedly.
