Gay advertising on TBS

[Savio]

Bill Engvall should stop pausing Family guy mid show to run his fucking promo. I will never watch his show because of that.

Honestly, like they are forcing us to watch his commercial? Too many people would mute during the real one I guess

Saw this yesterday.

I figured that the regular commercials would be phased out to the bottom of the screen advertising, which is obviously not skippable, and I really don't mind it. But when they start this bullshit of fucking with the show (as if it's a big "Fuck You" to DVR owners) or taking up 1/2+ of the screen it's unacceptable.

I think very soon we're going to see much more of this while they test the waters. I think within 5 or so years they'll be pushing bottom of the screen advertising and especially product placement much more. It's already happening, but they need to perfect it. This is the kind of shit that repels viewers.

Because of the title of this thread I thought he was gonna come out and start talking about how great it was to suck dick, but it turns out this was just as bad.

I caught an episode of it. It seems like there's nothing new about it. Every family show thing has been done already. The daughter is pretty hot though.

THAT MAKES ME SO ANGRY I'M GOING TO FIND BILL ENGVALL AND FIGHT HIS FACE TILL I'M OUT OF BREATH. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW:mad:

Here's Your *BDC SMASH*

Yeah wtf is TBS that desperate to get people to watch their original sitcoms? Clearly all that time they spent plugging Frank TV didn't work out cause the show sucks.

Nice sig BTW

[Jeritron]

TBS needs to accept their identity. They show movies and syndicated tv shows. Everyone watches them for that and probably always will. It's a solid niche, and there's nothing wrong with it. STOP TRYING TO MAKE YOUR OWN SHOWS THAT SUCK

Also, TBS isn't the only channel that does that overdone advertising at the bottom of the screen like this. Just about every channel does it now

[Savio]

TBS is the only I know that pauses the actual show

[Xero]

So far...

Wait until they do it to something like a Baseball game.

[Crossrine]

They dont have the stones to

[Savio]

I dunno with as much heat as this is getting I doubt others will

[DrA]

Yeah, I saw TNT do the same type of thing when they were advertising the re-showing of the movie Philadelphia.

[Savio]

*Show is playing*

*Tom walks on and pauses it*

Tom hanks: hey I'm tom hanks, do you want to see me die of aids? well then stay tuned for philadelphia....now back to the show

[thedamndest]

Just wait until next year's Superbowl.

*Clock is ticking, last play of the game, Hugh Laurie paues the tv*

"Hello, I'm Dr. House, and I've got your prescription for fun...right after the game."
