[Discussion] Is Anyone Else Sick Of The Weird Al commercial?

Folks, back me up here, PLEASE!! I have seen that moronic commercial for the Weird Al movie at least 9 million times and I can't deal anymore.. I tried to watch it bcuz I did used to enjoy Al but I'm sorry, it's a mind-numbingly stupid movie and I'm guessing others feel the same way; the viewing stats must be in the single digits (which is probably the reason why they keep airing the commercials) so I'm wondering if we all band together, we can force Roku to stopppppp ittttttttt

Thanks for letting me vent

I'm so sick of that commercial too! Plus the home improvement one with Jessica Alba, Martha Stewart and that other guy on the boat with Tom Brady. All Roku does is replay the same ads over and over again as if they are trying to specifically annoy us. What I do is I pick up my remote and immediately hit mute when the ad comes on and try my best not to pay too much attention to it. It's not a solution but it helps not having to hear it.

As far as the movie goes, I mostly enjoyed it. But I'm old enough that I listened to the Dr. Demento radio show every week, and enjoy pretty much all of Weird Al's music. I even remember listening to Napoleon the XIV on AM radio in the '60s "They're coming to take me away".

Same here! It's beyond annoying and I'm totally tuned out from these excessively repetitive ads. Roku Live TV becomes almost unwatchable now.

That commercial has caused me to close The Roku Channel numerous times. I love watching the channel with How It's Made, but when I hear "I love rock and roll" every single commercial break I have to turn it off. That and Martha Stewart saying "you might say I'm something of a... multi-tasker (wink)".

I switch the channel and then have to listen to the sushi commercial over and over. Couldn't Roku at least lower the volume?
