“Screaming” commercial has gotta go

Whatever ad agency created the “screaming” commercial you’re running should be fired. Are you aware of the great percentage of people that have PTSD caused or triggered by screaming? Just because you can rhyme streaming with screaming doesn’t make for a good ad. They can’t all be winners but you should ask for a refund on this one. Please take it down before your commercial causes actual harm

Re: “Screaming” commercial has gotta go

I, myself find their screaming ads stressful and disturbing. I now have to put the tv on “mute”, look away to avoid anxiety, and wait a minute before returning. Who the heck approved these?!? Please, take these down!

I am in full agreement. Please remove the screaming commercial. It is quite harsh and harmfully stupid. Surely you can do better than that

There appears to be multiple versions of these screaming ads.

This is what happens when you legalize certain substances.  I am certain it seemed funny to them as a cloud of smoke passed over their heads.  I can think of no other reason.

How about a nice peaceful "dreaming of streaming" commercial. (you can have that one for free - I have others).

I just hopped out here to complain about this screaming commercial.  I find it angering and annoying and have decided NOT to replace my other TV in my RV with a roku like the other two I have.

Hi John. I’m the original poster. These are Roku commercials. If you look through the post one wonderful user posted a YouTube link to all 3 “screaming” commercials that are running.

Re: “Screaming” commercial has gotta go

The screaming commercial is on the Roku Channel. I don't have a camera on my TV.

You can find it if you listen. It's outrageous, offensive and disturbing.

 

Please act quickly. You can't imagine the effect this has on your customers.

 

Sincerely,

Cate
