They just seem to get more and more annoying so many of them are Insurance ads

2. Back when I had a regular TV, I always muted the commercials.

These days, when I'm at someone's house and they have the TV on but don't mute commercials, I'm driven bat-shit crazy.

The very best thing about not having a regular TV is no commercials. Don't get me wrong. I do watch my share of TV, just on various internet platforms where I never see commercials. Sigh. It's wonderful. The very, very best part is that in election cycles I never see political commercials. How lucky is that?

3. I record the TV shows I want to watch

and fast forward through the commercials.

22. Same here

5. My wife and I muted traditional television entirely many years ago.

No broadcast, no cable, no satellite.

I'd probably toss the television in the trash if I had to suffer commercials again.

6. I don't really watch TV but I get about a dozen spam calls a day.

I never answer numbers I don’t recognize and then block them. But they’ve got some way to generate phone numbers so they are back again. I leave my phone off, at least the ringer, all day which bothers me, I might miss an important call. The majority of these calls come in 9-3 on weekdays but I’ve been getting some earlier or later or on the weekend. Used to be if you ignored them a couple they’d quit but that doesn’t seem to work any more.

11. I find...

... something else to watch, yes. Also, the last 15 minutes of most news programs is mostly ads... turn it off and wash the dishes.

[zanana1]

12. They're so damn LOUD!

Just like the theme music from any Netflix series. Oh yeah. I mute those.

[Fla Dem]

14. I pretty much record any shows I want to watch, then when I watch, just FF through ads.

Rarely do I watch anything live. Even if I watch an hour later than the live broadcast.

15. Lately, just the Medicare Helpline commercial with Jimmy Walker.

"Call now. It's FRREEEEEE!!"

I have had quite enough of that.

16. Liberty Progressive Sate Farm Geico Farmers Nationwide and Allstate

Everyday I see every one of these annoying jingles

[AuntieKatie]

19. Besides screaming it's FREEEEEE

he is waving his hands all over in that ad - so does Joe Namath. Why does anyone think that is a good look? DYNOMITE!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. Not too many insurance ads here.

Mostly (it seems) we have ads for online gambling, online sports betting apps, endlessly.

(S.E. Michigan)

Get rich quick, haha.

[cinematicdiversions]

18. The only place I see commercials on the regular is the 10 times a year

I watch What we do in the Shadows on Hulu.

And everytime I find it remarkable that it wasn't that many years ago TV was like this for everyone.

[sinkingfeeling]

20. I mute most of what's on TV.
