I agree. Weird Al is the most annoying commercial and its on continuously.

Ill never watch the show .  I couldn’t stand to.  

Im new to ROKU, I have 3 boxes for my home but I can tell i’ll be getting rid of them if this doesn’t change soon.

Please stop the Weird Al ad nauseum commercial loop. If we want to watch it, we’ll watch it. Playing the commercial once or a million times only goads me— little by little— to want to cancel my Roku subscription. Please, make it stop!

Strongly agree with Weird Al torture. Banish that. And Martha Steward too.

Since the post was from May and the sequence still plays every 5 minutesin every channel I can’t imagine much consideration has been given. 

I would love to “binge” the Martha channel but the background sounds of cats mewling before she winks about being a multi-tasker… makes binging a torturous affair and me the enemy of my housemates. 
RISE UP dindinininjninin!

Weird Al is taking the world by STOORM!

I LOVE ROCK N ROLL SO PUT ANOTHER DIME AND DANCE WITH MAY!!!

I think Madonnas a bad influe-

HWHAT?!

Every 5 minutes for 24 hours a day for months if I want to keep one of your channels on as background noise. It’s freaking torture and I’m ready to throw in the towel and just stream all day from Netflix.

Didn't mind the first 10,000,000 times I heard the Weird Al commercial stream, but after months of this viewer abuse, ROKU has proven to me it hates their viewers. I now would never watch any of the programs advertised, and am moving to Firestick next time I go shopping. Congratulations, ROKU has taken a good idea and turned it to a nightmare with just one commercial.

P.S. Spare me the canned message:>>>>

This commercial sequence is driving me crazy as well. Found this thread searching on Google and found several more complaints on other forums for this exact same commercial sequence. Apparently Roku doesn't care about their users because there is no way they couldn't know about this issue as long as it has been going on. All us users are asking is to change up the commercials because they don't drive us crazy but I guess that is too much to ask.
