Donald Trump's newest senior adviser: Locutus of Borg

TheFreak says...

Why do they even interview the Trump proxies? You're not going to get any answers from them. Just let them record statements and play them before the commercial breaks.

Canadian Sportscaster Makes Epic Olympic Mistake

Payback says...

What pissed me off about the Harvey screwup wasn't so much the screwup itself, but rather subjecting the runner up to the humiliation of having the crown "ripped" off her head.

The classy way of doing it would be during a commercial break, or off-stage. Let her compose herself, or run off screaming, or whatever she wanted to do, out of the public eye.

someone's gotta reference link that pagent screwup with Steve Harvey because that's what this reminds me of.

The Victoria's Secret Angels Stop By For A Quick Nosh

bareboards2 says...

I was there! I saw this live!

You can't see it, but the one on the end really noshed down.

You also don't see that during the commercial break, Mr Colbert was obviously distressed by the hotness of the wings. He might have been laughing, but he drank a lot of water and was struggling.

What a night to see it live. Steven Carrell! And if I were a straight man or a gay woman into Femmes, it would have been total heaven!

Cord Cutters Unite! (User Poll by dag)

ant says...

I am between (closer to no). Ever since I moved last year, I can't get all the local broadcast channels OTA with all types of antenna. My rural nest is blocked by trees, small mountains, giant hills, etc. Basically, it is on the wrong side to get transmitters' feeds compared to my previous nest. So, my family had to get cable.

As for online Netflix, it doesn't have everything like the new episodes, sports, etc. and I don't watch many (movie/film)s (prefer on demand payments to rent). Hulu bugs me with their repeating commercial breaks (even as Plus members!). I hate ad(vertisement)s hence why I block, skip (record!), etc. ~22 minutes out of 30 minute episodes and ~42 minutes out of an hour episodes! That's a lot. Also as a chair (no couch) potato, I watch a lot of stuff including Internet's like on VS (VS is my tube too) and am in control!

Region blockages suck, but we have Internet. There are ways around them if you know how.

"Unskippable" Geico Ad

AeroMechanical says...

Hm, well, it's a minute long.

I'm hoping they figure commercials on TV out one day. Originally Hulu would play one 15 or 30 second commercial at the point where a normal broadcast television show would have 2+ minutes of commercials.

I don't watch live TV because of the commercials. When I have to, I go off and do something else, check my phone, flip to TCM (no commercials) or do anything but watch the commercials. If nothing else, I just zone them out and think about other things.

A single 30 second commercial break is too short to bother forwarding through, getting up, or otherwise diverting my attention. I actually watched the commercials, and I didn't even mind, really. You would think that would make the commercial time much more valuable, but I guess that isn't the case because the last time I watched Hulu it had almost as many ads as normal television.

I try to stay positive about the human race, but I fear that the majority of people actually sit there paying attention all throughout the stupid long commercial breaks on TV.

News Anchor Quits on Air to go sell Weed

speechless says...

The reason why she knew she was going to be fired is because she was doing a report on a business she owns. She knew this and even told her twitter/facebook "fans" to tune in beforehand. It's obviously wrong for a journalist to do a news segment with conflict of interest like that, and she knew she'd be fired as soon as they went to commercial break. She used her position as a journalist at the station to promote her weed dispensary. Shitty as I think it is, it seems to have paid off because wow has she got some massive free advertising.

Gophers Kiss Cam Guy: Story Behind the Sign

Shepppard says...

Not sure quite exactly what you're referring to.

If you're talking about the fact that there's entertainment (i.e. the kiss-cam in question) it's because unlike most non-american sports, we have breaks in ours. Baseball has innings, so during the change between players at bat / players on the field, they'll go to a commercial break on t.v., but if you're actually in the park they typically try to bring out a "Quick Cleaning" crew to watch, or the mascot will dance or something

Same thing for football, except footballs entertainment is basically cheerleaders and the half time show.

Hockey, however, has 3 periods, at the end of each they bring out the Zamboni to clean the ice, making entertainment on the ice itself impossible, so they do things with the jumbo-cam, like the kiss-cam, to keep people entertained until the next period starts.

Deano said:

As a Englishman I'm used to just watching the sport in front of me and we don't resort to audience participation.
So what the hell is this? I know American sports have loads of delays and gaps but is this an accepted way of filling it up? I can think of a few reasons why you might not want to do this and this guy has brought up one of them.

Can't they just bring on a juggler or two?

Worst Videogame Product Placement Yet (Alan Wake)

Vic2Point0 says...

I disagree 100%, this was one of the BEST product placements ever in a video game! You're just not getting the subtle humor. To me, it was very obvious. First, take note of the fact that they were inarguably wanting to make this game feel a bit like a television series. This is made most evident by the way they ended and began each episode (not to mention the fact that they called them "episodes" to begin with), but also by the cinematics in battle, the independent camera controls that let you see what was behind Wake as he was running forward, the narration, the fact that all the manuscripts had to appear on screen with the author's voice reading it aloud- erm, I think I made my point there.

So what would a television series do, naturally, at a moment like this? Why, GO TO A COMMERCIAL BREAK, OF COURSE! That's why this TV was in the break room. Commercials? Break room? You get it now?

However, I wouldn't even agree that this did any noteworthy damage to the tension. Because, arguably, the most "scary" part was over. At this point, all you had to do was get by that chandelier ball thingy and you're outside with Barry Wheeler, comic relief! I thought it was brilliant.

True Facts About The Naked Mole Rat

mxxcon says...

This is not a proper way because these *related links are not bidirectional.
For example if I'm watching the fruit bat video, i won't see Echidnas video as related.
*Related was created for linking to news articles about content of a video or a videos that are 2-parter, like The Daily Show sometimes does with longer interviews and a commercial break.

If you want to find all 'True Facts' videos, much better way to do is by using tags. All proper tagged videos would be found here http://videosift.com/tag/true+facts and here http://videosift.com/tag/zefrank
If they are not, then that means people also don't know how to properly use tags system to make it useful.
Once again, *related IS NOT intended for creating playlists.

SevenFingers said:

I feel like this is the proper way, I'd rather see the other True facts videos being related to this, other than more Mole rat videos, since I would watch this and ask myself if there are more like this.

How it Feels (through Glass)

xxovercastxx says...

Unfounded assertion.

This is a move to increase search traffic by making Google more convenient to use on the go, then they can make an additional fortune off the same sort of data collection they do now.

When Android was just a rumor called "Google Phone", the tinfoil hats were saying you'd have to listen to a 30 second ad before making a call, or that your calls would have commercial breaks. My guess is, 4 years after Glass finally launches, you'll look just as silly as they do.

Neat. Until the ads start showing up.

And they will...

KDOC: The Best New Year's Eve Show OF ALL TIME.

Sagemind says...

Some of the highlights:
• At one point, the show interviews one of Hugh Hefner‘s ex-girlfriends holding a Carl’s Jr. cheeseburger because the burger chain sponsored this hot steaming pile of disaster.

Macy Gray (remember her?!?!?!) dropped by to give what seems like a completely stoned performance of that song that won her a Grammy 12 friggin’ years ago.

• On multiple occasions, Kennedy and/or the show’s producers ask on a hot mic whether the show is currently live (hint: it was) while liberally peppering in some profanity for the sake of it. The first few seconds of one return from commercial break began with Kennedy on-stage looking around confusedly while off-camera voices asked “Where’s my stage manager?” and declared: “Don’t fucking give me shit.”

• The control room couldn’t seem to figure out how to press the right buttons and so interviews were cut off mid-sentence, camera shots sometimes never changed, random Carl’s Jr. ads ran during the middle of broadcast, and a video of Jamie Kennedy at a comedy club took about 10 seconds to load.

• One random woman in the crowd figured out how to read teleprompter behind co-host Stu Stone and mimicked his read for an entire two minutes. Sheer brilliance.

• Some guy dropped a big ol’ “motherfucker” live on-air.

• Oh hey, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (remember THEM?!?!?!?!) must’ve time-traveled from the 1990s to perform a few songs, seemingly missing the memo about “not cursing on air,” because… umm… they cursed. A lot.

• Kennedy channels the 2003 film that made him relevant for 10 whole minutes — Malibu’s Most Wanted — and tries his best at hitting on a drunk black woman: “You should go white, because it’ll keep your vagina very tight.”

• The show ends with a spontaneous fight on-stage behind the hosts… and then silence as the credits roll. Perfection.

Jimmy Fallon and Jerry Seinfeld During The Commercial Break

direpickle says...

>> ^Xaielao:

Am I the only one saddened to see this is 'during the commercial break' and is nearly seven minutes long?
And TV execs wonder why TV viewership continues to drop. Oddly, more people are watching via other, often commercial-free ways more than ever.


It's not played live. It's not actually a seven minute commercial break.
