I don't often watch TV, but I get what you're saying. Sometimes it's fun to just watch through the ads and make fun of them with my gf until a movie comes on, it's sort of a guilty pleasure
I hear you, it is an interesting cultural and quasi historic experience. It's fun to go back and compare commercials over the decades.
Yeah, that's why I have a bunch of VHS recordings from the 90's. They're like little time capsules and the ad's of the time are telling of the events at the time.
One of my dad's friends would mute the TV when commercials came on. We'd entertain ourselves by making up new narration and dialogue.
The viagra commercials were the best.
