    We *love* our DVR - digital video recorder - it was an option with our cable tv. We no longer see any commercials at all - we can just hit the "30-second skip" button, and it jumps right over them. So I am not even familiar with many of the commercials mentioned. Yay!

    Before we had commercials on TV, I used to think they were interesting. It didn't take long before I was fed up seeing them, so these days, I have no clue what they're showing. I go and do something in the kitchen or change to another channel. The worst is that they turn the sound up! Some channels are worse than others, one is showing commercials every 15-20 min. for about 6 min. - good to know. Luckily, we have a few that don't have commercials at all. It's so nice to watch a film without interruption.

    wow, over here in the US, we have about 5 minute commercials every 5-10 minutes!
    I hate any medical/pharmasudical commercial where they show you a little drawing of your pores or of your veins, even if it has barley anything to do with the product where it makes them seem more "informative"

    If they did that here, I don't think I'd have a TV.

    I think we pay an extra $9 a month on our cable bill - worth every single penny, as it also records shows right even if the network moves around when it is on the air!

    Oh, and one more thing .... I hate when they start blabbering about what's on tomorrow, before the film is finished, they certainly don't have any respect for the credits, and sometimes they run them so fast, theymay as well not run them at all, you have NO chance to read anything. If you have seen a film, or another good programme, I like to sit and digest it and see who did what. What's the hurry?? People are stressed enough as it is!!

    Btw, if you're interested, these are the channels we can watch in Denmark: http://tv.tv2.dk/tv/?Region=1&Katego...orsidedropdown

    If you click where it says "Danske", you can also choose to see what we can view from other countries.

    I rarely see a program when it is aired, so thankfully we have a DVR like Karen and Paul, and we just Fast Forward right through those commercials. I never see commercials and if I do, I guess I'm not paying any attention to them! LOL!!

    Oh my gosh, ANY of the overstock.com commercials. That woman and her voice drive me completely up the wall. I can't watch or listen at all, I always have to change the station. Grrr!

    OMG, I have loads of adverts I hate, here are the top 5

    5. Sheila's wheels. It was good to start with but now it's on all the time and it drives me crazy! I still know all the words though

    4. Injury Lawers 4U. It's just one of those stupid daytime adverts offering basically, a con. I hate that line 'will I receive 100% of the compensation?' that is so annoying!

    3. ALL the Loreal adverts. I despise the slogan and frankly I don't think any of the women on them look that good anyway XD

    2. The Ski Up and Go Yoghurt thingey. No offence to any Londoners but her accent gets on my nerves

    And my all time despised advert.......

    1. Cillit Bang Grime and Lime Cleaner. It is SO cheesy. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE IT! I practically cringe every time it comes on. A little OTT I know, but it really bugs me.
