In the UK (at least from my experience) they don't have nearly as many. Usually one every 30mins to an hour depending on what's on. This calls for better commercials because they're usually memorable without having to be repeated.
That was in the past, when [OLD MAN MODE] everything was better [/OLD MAN MODE]. Now we have crappy ads all the time... except on the BBC... on the BBC you just get crappy ads for the BBC all the time.
To prove my case about the quality of British commercials I only require two words... CILLIT BANG!http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oeoMrZp0Fh4
Having said that, we don't get the local lawyers etc advertising on TV... I would like to thank the good people of Williamsburg VA for the entertainment value provided by "The Spouse Eliminator" :lmao:
