I swear I would have been ROFL if you had not said it was an actual thing. It is so like an amazing satire. Thank Jah I never saw this before.
Buckeye_Democrat
(14,846 posts)... then I realized my TV was on some local FOX station and the program wasn't a comedy show. Then I was irritated by the reminder of the WEIRD people who helped put Trump in office. (I suppose they're "right-wing authoritarians" from what I've read, a personality type that can be found around the world.)
It originally aired around Summer 2017, I think, and it continued for at least 1.5 years. I haven't seen it on TV for many months, thankfully.

Once you've broken the television habit it's really hard to go back. Television commercials become intolerable.
I also block ads that move or make sound on my web browser.
Most of the television advertising I see is posted here on DU, for example this:

(42,862 posts)On WTOP Radio, they'll often preface the commercial with an announcement... "The following is a paid commercial." (That's just enough time for me to hit the "channel-up" button on my steering wheel and quickly advance to the next station.

I'm in Texas. We have Roberts & Roberts, Goudarzi & Young 18 Wheeler Accident Specialists and various other lawyers. None as cheesy as Jim Adler, though.
We have one for DOW Auto Complex which has a young woman with a real whiny voice that's irritating as hell. The car dealers who have some hyper guy saying "I'm Joe Blow, and I'm here to tell you about the great deals here" and I'm thinking, who in the hell is Joe Blow and why in the hell should I know who he is?

I like the funny ones like Geico and the old Miller Light commercials.
I grew up on commercial TV so it really seems weird to binge watch a whole series w/o seeing one.
Thank God for Hulu!

Nothing annoys me as much as that one.
Side note, would love to see a spoof on the Insurance Commercials.
Allstate's mayhem guy gets busted for domestic terrorism.
Progressive's Flo gets laid off and she has a massive meltdown.
Gieco's Gecko gets squashed when someone accidentally steps on him.
Professor Burke of Farmers gets busted for having a fake degree.
The State Farm office in employee's are on "casual day"....one is in drag, the other in the buff.
The Allstate Safe Driver 40% guy gets hit by a car and goes flying by an unsafe driver.

(12,132 posts)my daughter has faster reflexes than I do so I let her FF through the commercials . She gets on it before a word is spoken and stops right when the show is coming back up but our favorite part is yelling "COMMERCIALS ARE FOR SUCKERS!" during the fast forwarding.
So my wife's reply to this question is probably "Hearing those 2 yelling commercials are for suckers at every fast forwarding break."
