The mythological one black friend that every group of young white males has in evey TV commercial. Most noticeable in all beer, car, fast food, deodorant and cologne commericals.
"Hey, check out that Bud Light commercial, 35 scruffy white guys in cargo shorts at a barbecue, and they invited along their TV Commercial Black Friend."
"Yep, he was just in the Taco Bell Commercial getting drive thru with 7 other white dudes."
When a person shuts everything out around and falls into a trance when watching television. The phone in not head, children are not paid attention to and the house could be on fire and they wouldn't care or know because they were in a TV coma.
The comfort that some individuals get from the television. IF nothing else, the fact that a TV in the room is on provides comfortablebackground noise rather than an actual desire to watch something. A person who depends on TV comfort might turn the TV on and immediately exit the room because he/she has a sixth sense that tingles whenever a TV is not on.
A student was exhibiting a need for TV comfort when she asked the students around her in the lounge if she could turn on the TV. After the TV warmed up, she changed to food network and flipped open her laptop to do something constructive. DAMN TV COMFORT!
