+2,180 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.

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.

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!"

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.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

but it'd be easy to tell when commercial break was over

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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.

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.

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.

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.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

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.

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.

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.
