WHY are the same commercials from MONTHS ago still on repeat. If i have to see one more Lincoln log, nikki haley, Jessica alba renovation commercial im gonna quit using the roku! I will never watch ANY of these shows because of this. As im typing, Lincoln Logs is playing again! Ohhh and the Weird Al I love rock and roll just came up after…!! My next favorite one.! Smh. Seriously though. This is ridiculous.
Same. Getting old. I'll see if there is a pirate site that BLOCKS these or something and report back. Roku won't don anything. They'll respond to this with a cheesy standard, pre-written response about checking into it or we have no control or some excuse. Stay tuned...
Yep same here. And for the auto response, it’s on all channels, any device and resetting has nothing to do with Roku’s programming. The repetitive, constant same barrage of annoyingly loud commercials is borderline insanity inducing. C’mon Roku. There are literally hundreds of thousands of shows out there you can be advertising. I don't care if “we’re back in business” or if “Weird Al is taking the world by storm”. Who cares if Martha Stewart gets to “live her best life” or if two uppity morons marry each other or someone else. Emeril is a great cook, but I’m tired of hearing about his “dishes” and New Orleans. If i have to hear the annoying “OH MY GOD” or “Follow your dreams” one more time im going to lose it. My dream right now? It’s to stop being bombarded by the same repetitive ads.
I, like most others I think, are ok with commercials on a free service. Absolutely acceptable, but not the SAME dang ones over and over and over and over and over and over and over……
Either get way more programs to advertise and break up the torturous monotony, or just get rid of them and give is back the ticker screen. I love my big ol’ Roku TV but I will not be getting another Roku anything if this is going to keep happening. I’ll go elsewhere. Please listen to the community and FIX THIS.
I feel the same as the previous people. Only I'm especially sick and tired of the BLACK AGENDA garbage advertising all the garbage black infiltration. These fine individuals have their own networks for them to play all the Black hype over there. ROKU is as bad as PHILO when it comes to black programming and commercials. Like ANY of that **bleep** is even worth watching. It was all a waist of time and electricity to even make that garbage. If I have to see one more obese Amazon going Ma Ma Ma, like SHE'S going to sing or something I'm going to be finding other things to occupy my time. Thanks to Derrick Shavin and george floyd for all of it. Before that ,, none of us would have to deal with any of this. ROKU and PHILO wouldn't have the nerve....... No More ROKU for this old man......,...
MONTHS AGO?!?!? TRY OVER A YEAR!!! ROKU is ridiculous!!! We can't even watch Roku anymore because of the 90 Weird Al commercials or the stupid girl screaming "look out" 90 times a day. And they jack the volume up twice as loud. We're done with Roku.
Couldn’t agree more. Don’t even want to watch anything on Roku TV anymore. These repetitive commercials on all channels are nauseating! If this continues you are going to lose customers!
Mix up the commercial for God sake!!! I can't stand the 4 commercials I get to see over and over !!! Fix it!!!!!
Sushi and other same commercials on Roku are driving me nuts!!!! Do something!
Stupid and too loud. I will never watch these annoying shows anyway
Wait. I'm NOT the only person who hates the sounds of Jessica Alba, Sushi Master, Lincoln logs and Weird Al? If they ever sneak a new commercial in, I won't hear it bc I have to mute the same 5 commercials I've been hearing for the past year.
ROKU advertising dept: Wake up and go sell some commercials!
The commercials are ridiculously annoying, but you people realize you can mute your TV when ads come on right? That's what I do whether it is Roku Channel youtube app or anything else. They can force the ad to play but they can't force you to listen or pay attention to them.
Well I guess you could mute your audio every time you see a commercial. In my opinion, if you were to actually do that every time you see something that repulses you on TV your audio would be muted most of the time. And I've personally tried that. It takes a lot of time and concentration just to do that. And that adds even more frustration to the whole thing. I had to just find other things to do to spend my time.
I hate them all I want to sell my tv because they are so **bleep** annoying . The one I hate most is the one with Denise Richard's just screaming in the car . I think the idea who created that commercial should get fired. I absolutely hate the weird al commercial. The stupid Jessica Alba commercial, to the everyone out there follow your dreams commercial , the nice to beef you commercial and the Emeril commercial about Sake . I like Emeril but any show I see on a commercial I will never watch just to spite the idiots at Roku. My Roku TV was the biggest mistake purchase I have ever made .I now hate Roku bc of this major issue
The face, the screaming!
That commercial with her screaming in the car was one of the 3-peats in a row on one of my bing watchings, lol. Insanity! It would glitch and repeat before the commercial ending all the way.
Stop the cheesy insanity!
**bleep** Roku Ads, Obviously.
And **bleep** Roku for not doing anything about it.
Really, do they honestly think people are going to sit and watch the same commercials that have been playing for months already? And on every commercial break, seriously?
Holy Moses, I feel your pain! It's enough to make me want to break a TV that I paid good money for.
I would love to find out if anybody actually watches any of the shows being promoted in the commercials. I mean, they really look like some of the dumbest shows with the dumbest concepts ever conceived of!
The ones that really drive me to madness are the obtusely melodic, whiny singing in "Honest Renovations" (you know, "whoa-oh-oh-oh, play the game!") and the rage-inducing music and drum beat in "The Marriage Pact" ("de-de-doo-don-dahhh" / "doot-doo-doo-doot-doot-doo-doo-doot").
And, does anybody know why Sushi Lady eats her food like a duck??
Rabbit ears here I come!
Not only the repetition, but why do they come right in the middle of important event, or conversation, sometimes in mid-sentence?? This is very aggravating, and doesn't ever occur on any other platform I've ever watched TV shows or movies on! Why can't Roku place the ads in far more appropriate spots, as all other outlets?
I love my Roku but hate the repeated ads.
What drives me battier is when the same (literally only one) commercial shows back-to-back throughout the entire series. It’s completely maddening when trying to binge watch. That theme song, the faces, the entire thing makes one want to never watch that show again. It’s like a horrible itch.
We have an option to skip past the opening of an episode and the same at the end to the next show, so what’s up with a remedy for an issue that you have to know about?
its an unfair trade for paid viewers.
I agree. The replay of the same commercials is getting old. I’m to the point I’d never watch these shows because of the replays of the commercials. Surely Roku could play others occasionally.
