Speak for yourself.

No kidding. It appears submitter was too lazy to spell "through".

You win a bokay for noticing that.

It turns out, 41 percent of people are liars.

Sometimes we forget!

I havent watched a commercial since 2003.

So you must not use free credit report (dot) com because the rest of us are.

I will admit to times in which I forget I am watching a recorded show and don't skip through the first commercial break. But this only happens on shows I'm used to watching live (read: The Daily Show and the Colbert Report), and only infrequently. What kind of idiots did they survey that just sit there with their Tivo watching a recorded show and not ever fast-forwarding?

It'd be like watching America's Got Talent all the way through and having to sit through an hour and a half for about 15 minutes of performances.

I occasionally do this. Though it's almost always when I'm watching something that I'm only partially paying attention to like a Married with Children or a late night talk show because I'm also on the computer hanging out on fark or something.

And then on occasion I'll go to the bathroom or get some food and just leave the commercials running instead of pressing pause.

but if it's something I'm paying full attention to, you bet your arse my finger is on that fast forward button ready to go.

If I am in the middle of making knuckle children I don't want to break my concentration. Getting to the Showcase Showdown 5 minutes early be damned!

Same here I rarely dont skip the commericals. Probably the only show not condusive to ff through the commericals is Fringe where with 60 and 90 sec breaks its easier to just let them play.

Gee, I wonder if Farkers think they're a representative sampling of Americans and will extrapolate inappropriate statistical results from this bizarre piece of data.

Let's find out...

I rarely fast forward for a variety of reasons:

1)Like the commercial
2)the remote is too far away
3)fapping
4)fapping to the commercial

ReplayTV 5040 ftw. Auto-skips commercials.

well thank god. I suppose our daily exposure to advertising was getting dangerously low

csxtrainwreck: Sometimes we forget!

My husband and I do this. It's also amazing how we both realize at the same time that we could be fast forwarding.

Atvar: No kidding. It appears submitter was too lazy to spell "through".

or finish advertisments either.

Skipping the commercials is the only way I justify paying for cable channels that have them.

You must be mad. The show-to-ad minute ratio on Spike and TruTV is something like 1:45.

I forget it is a recording all the time, especially while drinking.

I love commercial breaks, they gives me time to pee and get another beer.

Bow before your corporate masters.

The worst is when you realize you cannot fast forward because it is live and you forgot to record it. I just turn the program off at that point because yes, I am that annoyed by commercials now.

I have the opposite problem. I try to FF through commercials when I'm watching live TV.

They'll just put static ads at the top and bottom of the screens so even fast forwarding, you'll still see the ads.

Like those annoying tickers but they don't more.
