It would be cool if the commercial break was made up of one big commercial that included all the products you normally see in a commercial break. Like a family riding in a Ford Fusion go out to State Farm to get life insurance. One of the kids is playing with a Barbie doll in the car. She starts to choke on one of Barbie's shoes and they have to go to St. Mary's hospital. Then, once the child is revived, they end the day with dinner at Applebee's. Amirite?
I like this idea, but it must be thought out very carefully. I don't think that a kid choking on one of Barbie's shoes is going to help sell more Barbies.
Then the family could visit Chuck Testa's Taxidermy shop to buy a realistic looking fake coyote, and then go over to Appliance direct to meet that really loud Asian man and his equally loud wife. It'd be a legend among commercials, we'd all be like "Dumb show, get back to the commercial already!"
haha. yeah. oops
On the other hand, it would be okay if she choked on "the leading brand"
okay okay how about instead the mom gets a call on her blackberry from St Mary's about how the kids' grandmother just died of cancer. everybody cries and uses Kleenex with lotion. yes. this is a winner.
A nose in need deserves Puffs Plus indeed.
Make it so the grandmother died because she had didn't have a Life-Alert.
I've fallen and I can't get up!
Who do you call?...
GHOSTBUSTERS!!!
Duh, because you didn't fall by yourself right!
:D
It would be cool if they continued the story in the next break.
"Will the Charmin Bears ever learn to wipe their butts without leaving pieces behind? Tune it next commercial break to find out."
It would suck though if you were more interested in the commercial then the actual show. The show now turns into a commercial, and you proceed to curse at the TV because My Big Fat Greek Wedding takes up most of the 2 hour long time slot.
"You bet your sweet Aspercreme!"
lol It would be like a mini tv show in between shows.
Or you could just make it a show by itself called "Product Placement"
A TV show in between shows
Not lame.
I mean, the only logical thing to do after a near death experience is to go to Applebee's, right?
Applebee's: If you've just recently almost died, we're here to serve you up something fried!
At TGIF I almost died choking on a mozzarella stick. The cheese got stuck onto my braces while I swallowed it, so half of it was in my throat and the other half was still stuck to a bracket. Now I'm not allowed to eat cheese sticks any more. /:
cool story bro

I would enjoy that a hell lot more than regular commercials :)
but yeah boobs are pretty great.
...I FRICKEN LOVE THIS!
Hold your excitement in.
I can't be the only one that read "excrement".
Well, that too.
...I FRICKEN LOVE YOU!
Get a room.

potd!
nice favvkes :)
Isn't that basically product placement in your shows? I'd be in favor of that in my TV shows and movies rather than have advertisements interrupt them.
i thought about that, but i think that would actually hugely distract from your shows. these commercials would still talk about a lot of the information talked about in normal commercials today. the companies wouldnt be satisfied with just product appearance.
I think they did it in the first Transformers with Chevrolet. I remember it being on TV with no commercial breaks... not quite certain it was because of the product placement, but I think it was. It's a valid point that other products that need some explanation of why they're better or how they work would need commercials, but personally I think that just seeing characters the viewers love using a product would be enough reason for the average American to buy something. Admittedly, it would be pretty difficult to make a product fit into any show and then it would be in that show forever. It would probably make pricing the advertising space close to impossible... This turned out to be a lot more complicated than I thought, and is probably why they don't do it.
Tl; dr
So why did you comment?
Clearly so I could let them know I didn't read it, because of the longness. Why else? The comment was pretty self explanatory.
KTHXBAI.
Why did YOU comment?
It's obvious we aren't the same person. Im on the app see the lil phone down there.
Yeah.
to teach DontJudge a lesson
You should apply for a job as a school teacher, as many lessons you teach.
A commercial that actually entertains and doesn't piss you off to no end? They said it was impossible, but they didn't meet favvkes.

Nice post.
http://ctrlv.in/48465
WOW! this is so naturally written it is like you went through this yourself
Haha yeah that would be so cool :)
---> favorite button
:P
Let's not get carried away here!
That would be a douche thing to say.
I love to eat fried chicken!
That would be something a black man would say.
I do as well!
That's what his white friend would say... well, if this wasn't a Tyler Perry sitcom, that is.
GENERALIZATIONS! Huzzah!
I love to eat fried chicken!
That would be something a black man would say.
That would be something JewishDoggy would say
I would also be cool if they aired that giant commercial at 5 in the morning so we could go through the day commercial free.
They do those. They're called "infomercials".
those only include one product. though, i do think ASWCC's idea wouldn't work because company's pay top dollar so that their commercials are shown at a time when a lot of people are guaranteed to see it
I don't know what to say now.
disappears
They did say 5 in the morning.
What would happen if, say, Allstate, Geico, and Statefarm all wanted to be in the commercial?
Then the whole thing would be just arguing about who has cheaper insurance...
And so the black man battled the gecko/lizard/mini-Godzilla until death while the band is playing in the background.
Allstate Mayhem Guy:
I'm the random bystander who jumps in the fight for fun's sake, and throws you against your car window. Car window is now smashed to bits. Are you covered, or did you choose your own rates? Make sure you're in good hands, get Allstate!
Or it could be like a disaster movie of all the horrible things that happen when you buy the generic products. Somebody brings store brand pepsi to a party, the party goers beat him up and trash his car and he goes broke because his insurance didn't cover it. He tries to find a job but he looks in the paper instead snagajob.com and ends up homeless, living in a box, but it starts to rain and his box dissolves because it wasn't from UPS.
But then at the next commercial break, his luck turns around! He finds a scratch off ticket from the new york lottery and wins big! He goes on a spending spree, buys a mercedes benz, brand name clothes, and a boatload of genuine Pepsi. He goes back to the people who beat him up and buys them all the newest iphone so they all feel guilty about beating him, then he takes a vacation to Hawaii by flying Jet blue.
I wouldn't mind watching that commercial.
So after commenting on them you finally got a potd

*going out to State Farm to get a discount double check.
Because that's what Aaron Rodgers gets.
Oh so you're a dancer?
No, I'm a quarterback.
Ohhh well then Im a robot. beep boop beep beep
Cheesehead: "RODGERS!!! DISCOUNT DOUBLE CHECK!!!!
Oh yeah? Bobblie quudle boo beep dee bop .... What does that say.
YOU TAKE THAT BACK. MY MOTHER DID NO SUCH THING.
False!
It says "You can't read this because you aren't a robot."
Sorry buddy, nice try.
D'arvit
As long as Sarah Mclachlan has no say in the song chosen for the commercial, i'm all for it!!!
Imagine this commercial: You wake up in the morning, shower using Dove soap, brush your teeth with Colgate, eat Cheerios, and drive to your job at State Farm in your Mercedes Benz. At work, you drink Folger's coffee, and eat lunch at Subway. On your way home, you stop at Target to buy an iPhone. At home, you watchNFL football using DirectTV, and end your day with a Manwich dinner.
it needs a plot. though it would be interesting just to see how many brand-name products you can fit in one commercial
And after eating your Manwich dinner, you go to your room on your SleepTrain mattress, lay in your new Joe Boxer Pajamas, and read a novel on your Kindle Fire. As you nestle down, you set your Sony alarm clock, and sleep. However, you can't sleep, so you take Lunesta and finally sleep peacefully.
I'm going to film an 'Ultimate Cimmercial of Badass Proportions'
-I'll be sure to credit Favveks and Anonymous at the end.
I work at State Farm!

Long ass commercial...
thats kind of the point -.-
Well, yeah, but you know those 1 minute commercials that annoy you to no end? Well instead it will be like a mini show that you have to see over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over. To prevent it from getting tiresome, advertisers would have to get together every week or so, and create another long commercial together.
hmmm. you have a point. but there are a lot of different commercial products out there, therefore there would be serveral different long commercials, not just one.
True, but unless they were constantly creating new ads, you'd end up cycling through them eventually, and when you did it would be almost infinitely worse than seeing a shorter one twice.
but it'd be easy to tell when commercial break was over
Good point, whenever I'm watching television, one of my biggest problems is not knowing when the commercial break has ended. Somehow, the characters on the show and fact that they aren't promoting anything never tips me off.
it's annoying when you're fast-forwarding and you want to stop at the end of the commercial break
That sounds like a minor convenience for somebody who is able to skip commercials, compared to a major annoyance for people who are forced to watch the same long boring commercials time and time again.
yeah, okay

First world problems, amirite?
It'd be like watching reruns.
Reruns with shoddy plots and badly designed characters designed solely for the purpose of making money. Maybe like watching reruns of Friends. Plus, there wouldn't be that many, so it would be like watching a rerun of a show you hated a dozen times.
HEY! I
Friends!
Yay I'm really happy I got POTD :) this is the best thing that has ever happened in my life. Everrr. I love you all :) <3
If you're gonna impersonate favvkes, you gotta have the troll face.
Tsk, tsk. Amateur.
And do an inb4 something that's already happened along with the troll face.
In b4 you tell me to use the trollface
Shut up bitch!
Well, I got a reaction out of you.
Guys what if this is actually favvkes fucking with us?
Dout it. She's not the type...or is she
doubt*
nope, y'all aren't her type.
What do you mean by "y'all" and "type"?
I'm not asking her out on a date, I'm saying shes tolling us.
I AM single. just putting that out there
it was a play on words, chill dude.
Well yeah, but I'm not mad or anything. So no need to say chill :P
I believe she was making reference to the original comment on this thread.
I love you too whisper I won't tell the rest of the amiriters that you love me the most
