What do you do during TV commercials?

[Envy 6,172]

Watch TV? Lol. I haven't really done that in years.

 

But I do watch Hulu and other streaming sites of the like. In which case I usually just browse the internet. lol. If I have to do something I pause it because commercial breaks are always somehow too short for whatever I go to do. >.>

[NotInUse 64]

I watch them unless I wanted to do something, like go to the bathroom or get a snack, but I rarely watch  TV

[Kitsunin 41]

I never watch TV without doing something on my computer or 3DS at the same time, so I just put more focus into that. Sometimes I'll get up and cook a simple meal or snack.

 

I don't watch TV at home though, only at friend/relative's homes.

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

I either

• Skip them because I have Direct TV
• Check the Forums for notifications
• Use it
• Get a drink or some food

[Moonlight 7,287]

I usually have some kind of device with me while watching TV, so I'm usually playing random games on my 3DS. Or just browsing Tumblr on my Kindle Fire. Or just listening to music. I don't watch TV much unless I'm at someone else's house, so...

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

Commercials are a prime time to make a mad dash to the bathroom. Outside of that, I either run downstairs to grab something to eat or watch some random music video on Youtube. If I time it just right, I can even get the song and commercials to end at the exact same time because I have no life.

[Tigerpop198 696]

I use the bathroom, or just tough it out.

[Sir Fluffernutter 435]

I cringe at the fact that I can't fast forward. Especially when they're bad commercials.

[Vertigo_95 572]

I used to play my 3DS (which I don't have anymore), but I also have my Vita, GBA, and laptop. I sometimes go to the bathroom real quickly or find some food to eat.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

Watch them if not then get a drink, food or go to the bathroom. Or just check on the internet.

[Midnight and Shira 123]

I watch them and try to find dirty things in them, lol.

[Jackleberry 1,923]

I mainly watch Youtube (with Adblock) on the computer, so I rarely ever really have to deal with commercials or anything myself, but on the off chance I do watch TV or something, I usually either just sit there and watch, or go and do something else like check my forum notifications.

[Leavinh 313]

It's really rare whenever I watch tv, so when I do I just sit and feel uncomfortable since I'm not used to commercials. There are some sites I don't use AdBlock (YouTube, the Forums, Equestria Daily, etc.), but those are not very intrusive and I can usually skip them after a few seconds. 

 

But I do think it's super interesting seeing how commercials have changed since the last time I watched tv.

[Rift enchanted 380]

I either go to the washroom or lie down on the couch. Sometimes I actually bother watching

[True Rarity 1,240]

Absolutely nothing!!! And you know why? Because I don't have cable! What do I do for TV, you ask? Netflix!!!!!!

I only ever watch TV for mlp:fim and most of the time I will just go on my pc to finish watching it as I never stay in my living room long.

 

So I've not encounter commercials for years

[Adente 1,000]

Although I normally don't watch much TV, when I do and there's commercials on, I usually just do a set of pushups or situps or dips or something until they're over. That way I have something to do till my show's back, and I'm not being completely sedimentary. 

[ChoroChii 284]

I only watch TV through my DVR, so I just fast forward. 

[yayayayayala 1,668]

Sit while my AT&T remote fast forwards through them, because most of what I watch is recorded.

[catnet 9,357]

I rarely watch TV in general, let alone the channels that give commercial breaks during a show, but normally I just find something else to do while the commercials are playing. I pay a little bit of attention to the commercials though, in the off chance that one of them may be interesting to watch.

[Sommar 1,289]

The only time I watch TV is if a new MLP episode is on. Whenever those annoying commercials come on, I just mute the TV and get something to eat. When the commercials are over I unmute the TV and sit down with some snack or drink.

[TheJLeeTeam 914]

Sometimes there are commercials for products that I care for but during commercials I usually just wait, get a snack, use the restroom, Or even play on my 3DS for a few minutes.

[coco-ta-mi 59]

I browse deviantart mostly

[Ricebug 555]

I talk with people on skype, and or listen to some music. Then just continue watching of course .
