I usually skip the commercials but every now and then there is commercial or movie trailer that catches my eye.

We don't have TV in the house. We have lots of monitor though. We watch our movie through netflix, hulu, and amazone prime and there are no commercials on those.

I seem to tune them out.  or every time one comes up I get up and move. Most of them are just junk to me.

If the commercial was short to the point and honest i don't mind. When commercials repeat over and over again i question there honesty am i really going to get that or get that for this price because then it feels like there trying to hard to sell over the idea of the items there promoting.

I do watch them if it something interesting.  If now I'll go somewhere until the commercial is done.

Most radio stations are the same way. I just flip channels to avoid them. They play the same commercials over and over again or they wouldn't be quite so horrifying.

There are some commercials that are really well done, like AT&T with the guy and the kids, but most are just mind numbing.  :silly:

No. I hate commercials. They are always at a louder volume than the tv shows, they show the same ones OVER AND OVER AND OVER... I only watch them during the Super Bowl :D

I too tend to fast-forward through them if possible. But I also tend to watch On-Demand, which prevents you from using fast-forward. Actually On-Demand irritates me more than the ads, since in addition to preventing you from using fast-forward, they also prevent you from using pause or rewind; I can understand it preventing a person using fast-forward to skip the ads, but see no logic in preventing the other 2 (esp. since it may cause the person to rewind through a commercial that the person would have to view a 2nd time).

If I am watching a show, yes I do, but sometimes I either walk out the room or fast forward if it is recorded.

All I do is watch tv so watching the commercials is something I don't mind. I recently started watching Netflix myself but there are not that many good movies on there.

I've always loved commercials...advertising/marketing would have been a possible career choice.
