    tv commercial repeats

    do any of you ever notice that when you watch a show, youll see a commercial, then theyll play the same commercial or a shortened version like right afterwards? sometimes you can see a commercial for a product like 3-4 times in an hour on the same station

    On comedy central late at night they play Girls Gone Wild on every commercial break. I guess it's not the worst commercial that you could watch over and over again

    When that happens it is a mistake and the network will probably have to run a free make-good in order to keep the advertiser happy.

    However, for the GGW stuff etc., they are running Direct Response ads and kind of have to take what they're given. They have lowest priority on the advertising food chain.

    Oh man....whenever I watch the Cubs games there's this HORRIBLE band one commercial with some nasty annoying lady cashier commenting on each customer's personalized bank one card. The worst part about it is that since there's a lot of commercial breaks in baseball games you literally will see the commercial more than 10 times in a game.
