Omigosh don't we all hate those dumb commercials! Especially when they spam the same ones at you back to back. Just in case you were having a BR break... here it is again! My dad and I HATE commercials as much or more than any commercial hater. What he does is DVRs the show or game and FFs the commercials to spare his sanity. For me I just try to watch as much non-commercial TV as possible and even stream some games. Commercial TV like FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, TNT, WTBS etc are the worst commercial spammers and movie editors ever. They give you 5 min if commercials for every 3 minutes of show. AND they edit the crap out of movies, turning swearing into benign cartoony phrases. "Give me the keys you fairy godmother!" You're not even watching the same movie.

When you stream games (from a certain list of streamers channels) you get the floating logo and music during commercials which is much more tolerable than seeing the same commercial for the 5th time. If you're lucky they keep the game cameras on and you see fun crowd participating events (WNBA) or maybe a view of the venue with background stadium announcements like you were at the game.

Paying for no commercials is the scam, and I'm not giving in. Unfortunately there's no other way to skip them. Mute 'em or deal with 'em. As a huge commercial hater there are only a few that I actually like, for example the State Farm commercial where Reid is trying to sneak Mahome's "nuggies." I hit the back button when I see the same annoying ones come on again. It's like a video game...hit button quick!
