Things to do while an annoying advertisement plays

[lwm3398]

I check Facebook, my e-mail, Cracked, doodle on a random pad on my desk, or just watch the advertisement.

grab two pot pans and bash your head with them.

I pick up a book and get a paragraph or two in whenever I'm forced to wait for commercials, or I just mute it and switch tabs or something. Looking at commercials is something other people do!

I just watch the advert, waiting 60 seconds or so, just to see a show on the Internet or TV isn't going to kill me.

Although occasionally I might use the time to go get myself a drink or a snack.

 

[Marter]

I just browse the forums. I'm usually doing that anyway though. ;p

Mute it, resupply snacks, and if there's still time left I check my facebook.

 

[The Lunatic]

Mute it, change tab.

 

[Sebenko]

Call out everything I hate about that particular advert.

"What, that ***** too stupid to use a fucking potato peeler?"

Curse whoever first thought of forcing internet-video ads on people, then mute and check email / facebook / forums.

Thanks for warning subtlefuge, would've ranted otherwise.

It's from BoBoBo-Bo-Bo-BoBo, an anime parody.

One of the episodes is sponsored by "Homemade Mini Ice-Cream Sundae Attack!"

Here's a montage of silliness from it. I apologize for the English dub if you care about that sort of thing, but, it's the best one I could find.

I believe I watched a few episodes of that, does he have a dad or something made out of hair? And that bad guys shave people's hair? I was kind of tired when I saw it...

On youtube, I just hit F5, I know they've gotta make their money, but it's usually a 30 second ad in front of a 20 second clip from the BBC, who I'm already paying over £10 a month to operate without adverts on TV!

In all honesty, I dont mind a 30 sec ad in front of 10 mins or more of video, when it on every clip, even those 15 secs to a minute long, it's really annoying, especially when it's picked from a range of one. (and it's for Bieber's tour).

 

[Exia91]

I tend to browse through my playlist or my folder with music and put up a song that I can play directly after the video, that I wanted to watch, ends.

 

[Downfall89]

I usually ***** to a friend on MSN that I hate the ads that play when I just want to watch my YouTube video.

This.

But I usually just watch the advertisement then complain about its stupidity.

Yep, that's the one. It's a really silly show, and things often explode for no reason.
