We need commercials or else there would be no TV for the general population. I agree, they can get annoying, but you should recognize their purpose. Just mute them or turn the TV off when they come on.

The stupid commercials are the most annoying but most effective. The stupider it is, the more you remember it's stupidity thus leading to remembering whatever they are advertising.

Commercials are great because that is where you would get all your information on the lastest gear. All commercials force you to buy something. I saw that "Stop! Turn to Burns Honda!" commercial...five times...And my friend's brother bought two cars from the store...Burns Honda is in New Jersey jsut to let you know...

uh... they should have like 5 minutes of comercials every hour instead of 20 minutes of it. i mean some times it seems that theres more commercials then the actual show.

i love some of the car commercials like the scion and toyotas thier sfx are so damn cool.

If any of you noobs knew anything about Television, you would realize that your precious commercials take millions of taxpayers money, to produce and they slap them in there to make their money back.

Oh, btw... Watch TV for the whole day... If you notice: Early morning (5ish, 6ish) to probibly around 3ish (I'm estimating) commercials for working people start to appear. And from 3ish to 9 or 10ish, is when kids commercials are played (Except on Cartoon Network *Shudders*) then from 10ish PM back to 5ishAM, is just random commercials of everything...

We learned in "Design Basics" of our Digital Design and Animation course, that every add designed, is designed for certain people, and designed a certain way to catch your eye. The example that my teacher used: Kohl's Faucets.

In this example, he drew a faucet with water pouring out of it. It would hit the bottom of the picture (Wherever they stop it) and boom! Your text is right there. He explained that the reason they did that, is because when you flip the page to it, your eyes usually go to the center of the page first. If the faucet is there then they have you. The water, creates a sense of curiousity, so you follow it with your eyes down to where the text is. You read that, then look at the top of the page and now just barely realize what it is: A Kohls Faucet

Commercials use Psychology.

How was Jay Tizzle being a tool? He was just saying the commercials get imformation out.

Anyway, we need commercials, but some shows literally have 10 minutes of commercials, and its ridiculous.

I like the witty and funny commercials, not those that are long and boring (like car commercials.)

Here are some commercials that I like:

- The beer commercial where this guy always flashes back to when he was in some shaolin school of beer and that asian guy would always punish him for not handling the beer right.
- The Hummer commercial with the Three bears (only because "goldilocks," who was driving the little Hummer at the end was hot.)
- The Cable commercials, where they make fun of satellite.
- All Expedia Commercials
- All Geico Commercials
And more, but I can't remember them all.

I like the Geico Commercials and Car Commercials sometimes have pwnage music, like the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive Commercial (The one talking about clean air and scrolling through people's lives). One commercial i hate is where theres this lawyer guy who talks some about something really random at the beginning and he started cussing (beeped out) and stuff and saying he ate dead babies... it was weird >.<

Exactly. Most of the time here, commercials go on for like 10 minutes as well as the movie does.

There is this one ad i really get pissed off with. Its about some company, and they have like 50 thousand different ad's for it. And they show it like every commercial break. Its so annoying, it has annoying music, and this annoying women. its so bloody annoying, it goes on for like a minute and makes me feel like destroying that stupid company.

i think they should just raise the price of advertising and lower the amount of comercial time. that will get viewer ratings up and more money for the companies.

i especially hate when they show 2 comercials back to back. it is so annoying because you have to listen to the same thing.

i also hate those medicine comercials like viagra and cialis comercials... if you need medicine you ask your doctor you dont need some damn company advertising it.

The stupidest commercials that should never be shown are the ones where the creators are all like:

Creator 1: "Hey! You know what would be hilarious for a commerical?!"
Creator 2: "No! What!"
Creator 1: "This person sees something cool, and then he starts screaming, and then the people around him see the cool thing, then they start screaming!"
Creator 2: "Ingenious!"

but seriously its those annoying commercials where they find a bunch of people screaming hilarious

usually the commercials on tv are for the following types of products:

pain killers
sleep enhancers
erection "helpers"
depression relief
allergies

you would know if you have something wrong.
