Hey,
Well I would probably lock in letter B when it comes to this question. I think that commercials are okay, I don't really like them, but I don't really hate them either. Sometimes I don't even mind when I see them, I don't even take any notice. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I just like the commercials that have some comedy in them.. Those commercials are atleast ammusing to watch.
Just find those serious commercials a turn off. Just can't stand it.

When I could not run through a commercial and not watch it I would go and fix dinner and clean my house during the commercials.

C.
I think that the commercials are a different type of field where much of innovation and originality can be put in.There are some commercials I still remember very well for their originality and style.But as the run of the mill commercials in the TV in our country without any originality makes me hate them to the core.

I don't like commercials but am fine with them. Because I know that's the way the big television owners make their most income like and if I want to keep seeing my shows I better shut up and not complain about it, since it would be ignored, anyway.

I would say A as they make me know more about the product.If there were no commercials we have to see a show for a long time non stop.In the commercials we can take a break that we want and refresh our self for the next section of the serial or movie.In today's commercial they put big actors and actresses that it impresses people more to buy the product.We can make the right choice from many products in the market if we watch commercials.

Some commercials are great and very funny, but a lot of commercials need to be locked up in a vault and never seen again. I know a lot of commercials that are so bad that people should never ever watch them. I have also seen commericals that are so funny I want to watch them over and over again. Many of the Burger King commercials and Jack in the Box commericals are gold, they are so damn funny that I never want to stop watching them, but some commercials, some of the ones that Carl's Jr. and McDonald's air, are commericals that should never be seen in public they are that bad. It all depends on the commercials. I want funny. I want laugh so hard I want to cry funny. I also want information. I want commericals that really tell me what the product is and why it is so great.

I do like a few commercials. The M&M commercials are cute. I like the ones that was a spoof of the Adams family and Indiana Jones. The old GICO ones that had the lizard is another one I liked. I don't care for the new caveman ones at all. As for most of them I don't pay much attention. The new Halls one is disgusting. It is a mom in her sons dorm room and his roommate gives her a Halls Refresh. It looks too seductive. As if there isn't enough problems with teachers seducing students.

I will go with B. but with an add-on, SOME commercials are okay. In fact some of them are hilarious! There are times that I just laugh my head off at the commercials but then there are those times that I am sneering at the TV and the rank stupidity of certain commercials. I shall not mention any by name but, there are some really stupid ones.

i love commercials. specially those new ones with good message, with those good stories even in their short air time. some commercials leave an imprint to me i mean i always remember them and at the same they became a byword or so popular among people of all ages. and so those are the commercials i love to see. but if in case i see those the same old commercials it is quite boring. but from time to time there will always be a new commercials that will tickle us and that will entertain us.

Hello smsky, well my answer would be commercials are ok.they are nice when i really need one to buy something or i can even say they really irritate at times because when i watch a movie or my favourite program they just pop up somewhere in between and make it a mess.

hi, we cannot hate commercial as a whole because it introduces new productions that are being released in the market. In case if we do not watch any commercials, it will be very difficult to be up to date on products such as TV, cell phones, washing machine, etc... or when we happen to go to a shop, we will be asking about products that are already phased out. Only thing I do not like in the commercial is that the frequency of them. The frequency must be reduced. Then it will not be irritating.

I think commercials are Ok. If we don't watch commercials then how can we expect a feature rich program? They help the producers to earn money from a show.But sometimes they irritates, like when I watch a Live matches in a sports channel. I like a single commercial break programs too much in which they normally telecast commercials in a single break in the whole show.

I would have to say - C -Hate them. When commercials go on I either change the channel or get up and do something. They are so annoying and loud.

There are some commercials that I do not like and some that are not to bad. I do not purchase what I watch in commercial. Most of the time I mute my TV when a commercial come on because anymore I think some of them are just plain stupid.

Hi smsky2009,Answer C is my pick but dislike is more the adjective for me Television Commercials here are all on at the same time so if you change Channel you have also got the Commercials on there too. We do a lot of zapping sometimes. We have not got the paid Television Channels and I dislike the News as much as the Commercials. But there is one good thing about it sometimes you can come across the odd program that is informative like National Geographic that they sometimes put on to fill in spaces. The other day they were showing a caption about the Octopus in general and I learned a lot about this really intelligent creature.
So although this is about Tv. Commercials yes I dislike them but I have become immune to them and only try to find or record on our Dvd programs that are informative to me. So while Tv. Commercials have a downside they have a side A too you can zap to your hearts content lol.

I rarely watched TV.To me,TV programs are no better than comercials.And many comercials are much more better than TV programs.Sometimes I even enjoy comercials.But when I'm watching a TV program that I like very much,I hope that there will be no comercials pop out.
