Barely watch television anymore except for local news, NFL, and NHL but the local news commercials are the same. Some person smiling and loving life while saying how this pill will cure this disease followed up by "this pill may cause kidney failure, blindness, liver failure, collapsed lungs, brain hemorrhage" all while actor is still smiling and loving life to show viewer how great said pill is.
Big pharma rules. But trust them to inject mRNA into your body! |

Cut the cord like 7 years ago at this point. It's kind of amazing how few commercials I see anymore.

I've only seen the Jimmy Walker and Joe Namath commercials, but yeah, they're annoying as ****. But kudos to their agents to find those old fossils work. If Walker ever did anything after Good Times wrapped I never saw it.
They're not nearly as annoying as the big pharma commercials, though. I've yet to watch one where the laundry list of side effects isn't worse than actual disease they're supposed to combat. |

I remember back in the late 80s, KY102 had JJ Walker and the guy that owned the comedy club in Westport, on their morning radio show to promote JJ's stand up gig that weekend. Apparently, JJ or his agent had warned the DJ's to not ask JJ to say DY-NO-MITE because he hated doing it. I don't remember who the morning show jocks were back then, Max Tanna and Moffit maybe, but they only got about half way through the interview before one of them broached the subject of JJ saying DY-NO-MITE and it pissed JJ off, so he cut the interview short and left the studio. It was honestly the only thing he was really known for, so it seemed strange that he would not use it to promote his comedy tour. I guess now that he is older and probably needs the money, so saying it isn't such an issue to him anymore.

Stop watching old folks TV, gramps.
I get streaming ads for Lexus and Apothic wines (heavily insinuating it’s good to set the mood). |

lol TV
I did think it was bad the other day clicking on a YouTube video discussing the Ruggs situation and the video was preceded by an ad for Gentleman Jack though. |

I'm quick with the mute button when I happen to be watching live TV, which I try not to... even for those 30 second break-in bullshit in game commercials.
Haven't noticed Medicare stuff, but pretty sure if I was driving or sitting in a restaurant or walking down a street and somehow heard the cackling of a Discover card commercial, I'd reach for an imaginary remote, that's how often I mute that shit (approximate 4000 times per live sporting event). |

I DVR literally everything. Wait 30-45 minutes, then start watching. No commercials, no halftime breaks, no period breaks for NHL, none of it. Fast-forward through all of it.
I even DVR the 4:30am local CBS news broadcast so that when I get up at 5am, I can fast-forward straight to the weather. If you watch less than 5 minutes of something you have on DVR, they don't get ratings credit for it. So I make sure I only watch the 3 minute local weather spot and then delete it. |

I'm very rarely only watching TV though, so if I'm not live it's mute + internet for a few minutes.... with the downside being that sometimes there are so many damn commercials that I'll get distracted and realize 20 minutes later that it's still muted (then I can just rewind and skip through it). |

We DVR the new network shows that we watch. The wife has several shows, but the last show on TV that I give a crap about is Blue Bloods. Seems like everything else is woke garbage. |
