Garfield by Jim Davis for July 18, 2010

“buried in your couch” has an all-new meaning.

WOW! The chair grew feet in all that excitement.

There’s more Ads than show.

Yeah, commercials are often louder than the actual TV program. Needs a disclaimer: “This program may get you sucked in, figuratively and literally.”

I feel your pain, Garfield.

They’re creating a market for Miracle Ear.

LOlLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOOLLOLOL

too funny, but sooooooo true…..

I love his facial expressions…

Where’s the mute button!!!!!!!!

Gotta keep that remote handy, Garfield.

Most of his TV moments are funny. I love this one. “It conjugates verbs!!” Great Ad. put-down.

All right, Odie…stop fiddling with the volume on the remote!

I have two cures for commercials:

1) Walk away when when come one and/or 2) Mute them

I also do not buy products that advertise on TV more than a respectiable amount. Something that advertises every 20 minutes 24 hours a day will never be found in my home.

And I still have the older model TV that has smart sound.

My grandfather installed a switch on his tv (years before mute buttons) that turned the sound off and on. He called it the “blab off”. This particular strip shows why.

It’s funny how TV programming’s solution to loosing market share to Internet based media is to crame in even more commercials and make them louder.

(Groan!) I am despising these bloody stupid commericals with loud sounds after and before the programs breaks and comes back again. These commericals are so STUPID! I sometimes turned my head around the walls at my home while the commericals were on the TV. Sometimes I like the funny ones, sometimes not. sighhhhhh! :-/

Aright Commie Creepos! That ad is all American. The network put on the lousy show your watching just to have Billy Mays scream at you that you cannot live without the Amazing Beet Dicier (rush shipment available). If you have one drop of red, white, and blue blood in you, reach for you phone and protect your country from Martian invasion. It’s up to you! Our operators are waiting.

And now back to Miss Marple and the salt jar.

If you read it backwards, its much more interesting! :)

^^^ Besides all of that, the commercials wake you up.

I hate when the commercials are louder than the program. I also hate when one channel’s quiet and the next one’s so loud it blows me out of my chair.

I’ve had to buy so many new chairs for that very reason!

Is it just me or are the commercial makers starting to use people with annoying voices so even when you hit the mute button you still hear the message in your head?

Case and point: “Bill…? Tom…? Hey it’s an office party”

Now you know why I record shows. I can fast forward through the horrible loud commercials.

Maybe they think that the louder the commercial, it will make you want to buy the product!

And of course, I sometimes turn the the remote w/ “mute”on while the commerical ad is on. I hate the person talks and stupid music plays too loud. That drive me NUTS!

RIP Billy Mays

I get a kick out of how totally excited the people on the shows get over some weird kitchen gadget or whatever. Obviouly doesn’t take much to amuse some people.

vigilante de noche u got the same icon as me and is garfield angry or crazy about ads??

They have to make the commercials loud so you can still hear them in the bathroom!

Actually, there are FCC rules against making commercials louder than the regular programming. The advertisers get around it by having the recording engineers emphasize certain sound frequencies that stand out to us, making the commercials SEEM louder. The evil so-and-so’s!

Holy Billy Mays batman! x.x

Glad to see so many people hate commercials as much as I do!

LadybugMacon: I’ve always wondered why they think screaming at me and hurting my ears makes me want to buy their product.

Aaron: I don’t buy products advertised on TV either. For one thing, they pass those advertising costs on to the consumer. My solution is to keep the remote handy and click to the next channel. I often miss some of what I wanted to see that way, but it’s better than being annoyed by the lying advertisements.

All in all, I think most ads are counterproductive. If they spent as much time & $$$ making them funny, they would at least get people to watch them.

Mute button works every time!

It’s a Snuggy.

How true. They always turn it up on the commercials.

More entertaining than ShamWow.

It reminds me of the Peanuts comic, when Linus was there watching TV, and then there was a used car sale commercial that was real loud, and he said help~ also.

*Me when I accidentally turn up the volume on my computer, watching Youtube videos.

LOL!!! so funny

i don’t get it

HA HA HAA!

Blasted loud commercials!
