their's a comercial shown on tv a lot lately that really strikes fear in to me.

it uses music from a tv show in the early 90's (a tv show that isn't so much scary,) but it was for me as a kid- gave me nightmares.

I don't know why, looking back it's just a harmless cartoon
anyway the advert shows some dancing puppet's, then they talk about the product being advertised.

then it's over

but for those 60 seconds it's on (perhaps a bit less), it is terrifying.

and it seems to show up everywhere- during the break in the news, or a movie, or a soap opera.. it's everywhere.

I hate it

I'm sorry you're so troubled by this. I don't watch much commercial TV. Mostly we watch shows on our local public television station. Also I make a point of not watching the news on TV. When my wife turns it on, I leave the room. However, when we do watch programs on the commercial TV stations, the mute button on the remote gets vigorous exercise!

I can empathize with you Shattered. I have to be careful about watching/reading news depending on my anxiety level. I don't watch a lot of tv, but like Skeezyks, I prefer public broadcasting channels...and I really don't care for commercials either!

Several commercials have deeply disturbed me. I only watch Nickelodeon now so I don’t have anymore problems.

I know there was this one commercial where Hulk Hulligan was destroying this guys house. Worse commercial ever.

I'm usually okay with comercials- in fact i've even joked that if their is a tv channel just showing comercials, i'd watch it (and I probably would)

I draw the line though at dancing puppets and freaky music

that, and abuse comercials.. they trigger me terribly

the child abuse ones get to me so bad

I can't watch the commercials about animal abuse on Animal Planet. I always change the channel when they come on.

No I don’t watch instant Mom. I have seen Nicky Ricky Dicky And Dawn. The ones I watch on a regular basis are Henry Danger, The Thundermans, The Loud House And spongebob. And then whatever is on Nick At Nite.

I also watched Hunter Street last March. I really liked it. I just saw a commercial an hour ago, and Season 2 comes out on the 29th. I’m also excited about The Henry Danger animated series.

I do enjoy the loud house!. it's such an escape. I just wish that they could get rid of the whole linken and klide thing.. that spoils it for me

fave episode is where they are trying to get lilly in to this school, but she keeps cursing and so they swap her with lisa

the april fools ones are good too- though sadly I missed the christmas one.

I've seen henry danger advertised, but never watched a full episode, and I have seen a couple of episodes of the thundermans

I can't wait for the new show.. I am frankie, about this girl who is also an android.

another fun show is bunsen is a beast

amanda from that show sounds like lisa from the loud house- and I often wonder if it's the same voice accctress

shame about instantm om. you really need to see it

funniest thing ever
