And I didn't see the teenagers trying to hide from the chainsaw maniac ad this year.

That one is back this year!  It was on my recording of a baseball game a day or two ago.

I've been seeing a lot of Christmas ads lately. And not just the Balsam Hill ad that's been running for a while. Wayfair is already airing its Christmas commercials and there's one for Crocs with people getting all giddy decorating their ugly wiffle ball shoes.

Fortunately all I'm seeing is the new OTC ED cream ad. 😉

Gotta love how Halloween isn't even done and Christmas is being advertised.

In a decade or so we'll probably start seeing Christmas commercials on July 5th.

There is nothing commercial about Thanksgiving. In other words, no money to be made, so it is on to Christmas straight from Halloween, only they aren't even waiting for Halloween to be over!!

Fortunately(???), this year, we also have the political ads and the ever present Medicare supplement ads to dilute the Christmas pool some for a while....

Maybe, but Thanksgiving commercials were a thing back in the day. Not sure if they still are, since when I watch non-streaming TV, commercials for me are for toilet breaks, running to the kitchen, replying back on whatsapp, etc.

Granted, even before Thanksgiving, Christmas commercials would creep in anyway lol

I saw very few Halloween commercials this year. Christmas is refusing to stay in its lane this year. 

Me too. Other than the Reese's Kit Kat trick or treating commercial people seem to hate, but I think is funny, I did see the Geico chain saw ad, but it was after Halloween. As for Christmas, let's blame it on Hallmark. They start airing their treacly sweet Christmas movies 24/7 in October.

A local radio station has already switched to all Christmas music. They did this on Friday, so at least they waited until after Halloween. At least.

Also heard an Xmas commercial on the radio today. Aside from the Balsam Hill spots, which I've seen a few times, no TV ads yet. I'll enjoy it while it lasts...

Do you live in the lower Hudson Valley? I put a local station on while I was doing some tedious task in the kitchen on Friday and was dumbfounded. Apparently that's their "thing." Do we really need two months of Christmas music? I just wanted some low key "old people's music" like they usually play.

The Love Actually bit really put it over the top for me. 

That cracked me up, and I frakkin' hate that movie.

I don't watch regular TV a lot anymore, so I usually manage to avoid commercials, unless they appear on youtube and can't be clicked away. But this one seems to be so popular that I've seen an article about it, so I had to look it up. It's pretty ok, I think, obviously very timely with the idea of being in our own bubbles.

 

And while I'm here, I liked this one last year:

Really? They were showing it here up until the 2020s.

I don't remember seeing it after maybe the late 1990s/early 2000s.  Not saying they haven't shown it in my market, just that I haven't seen it.
