Re: “Screaming” commercial has gotta go

Totally & completely agree.  Who in their right mind would approve such obnoxious content!!??  For that matter what kind of mind is that would even conceptualize something like these ads and actually feel that they would stimulate anything other than 'MUTE' or a switch to another content provider???

Re: “Screaming” commercial has gotta go

I also came here to complain about it, Im already watching Roku TV and getting screamed at! I don't even see how the ad makes sense, they scream at each other because they don't have a Roku TV? I have to literally carry the remote in case it comes on, if I'm not right at the TV, so I can mute it. And yes, some people with PTSD and similar issues are severely triggered by sudden screaming or loud noises. I get that advertisers think that if they shout at us, we notice their ads, and we'll buy their stuff. But no, I already have the TV, and making me hate something won't make me buy it anyway. On the Ghost Hunters channel, this nonsensical commercial is often followed by another with some guy playing video games and screaming, is this the 2020s trend? People screaming for no reason in ads?

Pluto has some annoying ads as well, but I'll watch some of these shows on Pluto until they dump this ad with two jerks screaming at each other about buying a TV. I've already seen it 4-5 times today.

Agree, this is the most irritating commercial and does not make me want to buy a Roku TV.

STOP PLAYING SPANISH COMMERCIALS/ADS

Stop playing Spanish commercials/ads on my Roku! I am in America and I speak English. I don't understand nor want to hear languages other than English on my stuff. IDC why it's being played stop. If I was in another country and didn't know their language they would call me a stupid American. So I expect anyone who comes in this **bleep** country to learn our language or leave. We don't accommodate them. They can learn ENGLISH. I DONT EVEN LIKE COMMERCIALS LET ALONE IN A DIFFERENT **bleep** LANGUAGE. FIX THIS. #ROKU #UNHAPPYCUSTOMER @ANYONEWHOAGREES #STOPPLAYINGSPANISHONMYROKU

Re: Screaming commercials horrendous!

It must be the worst ad ever. It makes me want to change the channel to anything but Roku.

Take it off the air asap please.
