I do that all the time. I can't suffer TV ads. I wonder if everybody does the same who listens to the ads. The ad companies are paying a lot for it to be on TV. I only see the ads when I am watching something very interesting or important and I don't want to miss even a small portion of it.

Do you switch TV channels during ads?
Are you interested to see the ads in TV?
Don't you think there is something important or interesting in ads?

hi,
i don't change channels usually when watching TV, i simply don't concentrate on the ads and just think about something else, i think too much, when the break comes, my mind wanders somewhere else and i am back to my program in no time... i just find it lazy to sometimes just to change the channel to get rid of ads, just don't pay attention to them... whistle


myLot reputation of 97/100. daliaj (2748)   ranked 417 out of 38,036 in life  5 months ago

Yes, you are right. Sometimes I also find it lazy and tiring to search for another channel during the time of ads. When you see some other channel, there is a also a chance that there will aslo be ads in that channel also. It seems you do a lot of day dreaming. I did the same when I was single and not much work to do. Now, I don't have time to dream.

Well it kind of depends. If there are two great Tv shows that are on at the same time that I absolutely love, then I would normally watch the one that I like a bit more, or I won't watch the one that can be viewed on the internet. On the adds, I will then switch the channel to see a bit of the show. Otherwise, I just leave it and get bored. I mean no one really looks at adds anyway. They just doodle around with there fingers.

Sometimes the ads are more interesting with innovative ideas.Especially the ads in the prime time are very nice to watch.I am a fan of such ads where I even don't mind to watch the programs at all.A recent example is the ads with,Joo Joo.
In fact tv ads have to be made interesting to arrest the audience and to pull their attraction towards the products advertised.Personally I enjoy watching ads but will not carried away with what they advertise.Cheers!


myLot reputation of 97/100. daliaj (2748)   ranked 417 out of 38,036 in life  5 months ago

It is good to watch ads, but at the same time it is nice to hear that you are not crried away by it. What is Joo Joo? I don't remember seeing it. I live the Vodafone ad with a baby girl and the dog. The dog signal to the girl by pressing a doll which makes sound when somebody is monitoring the girl. There is a creative brain behind that ad. Thanks for the response.

I don't like watching tv ads or commercials. I always change the channel back and forth between 2 or 3 programs to avoid them. I've been doing it so long that I rarely miss my important show .... never know when a tidbit will escape if you don't flip back over fast enough. I'm sure that some of the commercials have the point that they want you to buy their product because it's better than the leading brands. At least that's what I always got out of them. I think it brainwashes ya if you listen to it to often. LOL lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. daliaj (2748)   ranked 417 out of 38,036 in life  5 months ago

It is important that we should not be carried away by the ads. There are some ads which comes in local channels which I hate most. I always have there different channels whcih are my favorite. I keep switching among these channels at the time of advertisements. I don't mind seeing some ads once in a while if I am lazy to switch. Thanks for the response.

sometimes i do! especially when the commercial break is too long! sometimes i already know when the program is coming back...hehehe and so i know when to switch channel back again...
bu switching channel for me is just okay if i am watching alone, coz i remember my father is always doing that and it annoys me and my mom coz most of the time we miss some part of the program we are watching due to that switching addiction of my father! hehehe
there are some tv ads that i like watching, like ads that features babie and smart kids...there's really some ads that's fun to watch...
now i don't switch channel much coz whenever its commercial...i just go here in the computer and do some responses and comments here on mylot!happy

Yes I do that all the time. The commercials for the most part are boring and I feel like I'm wasting time. So either I change the channel to see what else is on or I get up and do something that needs to be done around the house.


myLot reputation of 97/100. daliaj (2748)   ranked 417 out of 38,036 in life  5 months ago

Yes, the time is very important. We should not force ourselves to watch something which is not interesting to us. It is better to change channel and go for something inetresting in that case. Mostly the programs with lots of audience have more ads. It is irritating. Anyway, thanks for the response.

For me it depends really. If what I am watching is lengthy, and I know for a fact that too many ads are going to be shown, I normally go around finishing other work.
If its a short break and some rather interesting ads are shown, I don't surf.
But when ads that I have seen already and don't really like all that much are shown, I surf.

Oh YES! Why not? Why sit there watching ads when there are chances that there might be something more interesting on other channels. I love surfing the channels and contrary to popular believe that only men hog the remote, I do that too at home, much to my husband's dismay. happy
