Screaming commercial feedback

Can’t stand the screamers! Un-nerving, obnoxious, makes me want to get rid of Roku altogether.

    I don’t know who to talk to about this but please, I’m begging, get rid of the Big Al Law Offices commercials!! They are beyond annoying, obnoxious and loud. Any idiot can tell those people are not “real clients”. This guy is a scumbag and the commercials are unbearable. I love Coach, Magnum, and Simon & Simon but I will stop watching Roku if that commercial doesn’t disappear! The shouting, the BS - please!!

      Roku does not have much control over the ads and ad content.

        That’s too bad. I usually watch Roku about now and couldn’t face that travesty so I decided to watch Psych on Peacock instead. Maybe they don’t have control but I’m quite sure they also couldn’t care less.

  • Hard to believe this (& other) screaming, obnoxious commercial, is still on the air!  Do they honestly believe this is a helpful marketing decision? Do they think their audience is only a bunch of six-year-olds???

  • Annoying commercials have been in existence since TV began. Remember the Wazzupppp commercials for example?   They do that to get your attention, negative or positive so that you see the commercial, even if you hate it, you now are talking about it and paid attention to it, even if it was subconsciously.  

  • The advertising department responsible for the ad should be fired and the CEO should have to watch this ad until they are fired ! 

  • I just wanted to remind people that there are many apps available on Roku devices so there is no need to stick with one that drives you nuts.  I've never seen one of these ads, so the comment about watching another content provider clearly works.

      Unfortunately, it's on the Roku app!  Otherwise great programming, but this commercial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        For clarity, it is on the Roku Channel trying to sell Roku TVs.

  • I feel the same and I have Roku TV so I'm being punished by having to watch/hear (I mute them).  No chilling out in my living room, we're always grabbing the remote to mute the commercial.  If I'm too tired I watch another content provider.  I just spent a hour complaining via chat with someone who is sending the complaint to marketing.  The person I chatted with had not seen the commercials so I told him where to look on YouTube.  Fingers crossed.

    And it's the same commercial over and over. Enough of Kevin Hart! My reaction now is a quick mute and what's on the other channel?

    Totally get it—constant screamers can ruin the experience and make streaming feel more like a headache than entertainment.
