commercials-interlude scramble

Refers to the suddenly-occurring interval of frenzied activity that you engage in while partaking of a favorite radio/TV show, and the program cuts to a commercials-break for a minute or two; there will be nothing of interest being broadcast --- and therefore you do not need to be glued to the speaker or tube --- during this period, and so you frantically rush around the room to attend to assorted matters that you'd been "holding" or "delaying" while your riveting program was on, such as going pee, checking/adjusting the washing-machine, grabbing a pillow/blanket, getting more snacks from the fridge, etc.

While binge-watching episodes of Knight Rider on DVD, I realized that I'd forgotten to have my daily apple. Now of course, unlike a regular radio/TV broadcast, pre-recorded home-media like this can simply be paused anytime you please without missing anything, but I wanted to experience this delightful "blast from the past" material in just the same way that I'd remembered it from having seen it years ago on NBC, and so I waited till the beginning of the next episode for the classic "Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist" introduction-speech to begin, then did my usual "commercials-interlude scramble" to retrieve a nice big Red Delicious and a paring knife, and then race back to the couch again before the episode-title was displayed.

Rejection Commercial

Making a commercial to let a guy know that a girl doesn't want to sleep with him. It doesn't happen very often, only when necessary to prove that someone is willing to waste money to let someone know that a girl doesn't like him. This can't be done for everyone because it would be too expensive and would take up air time for normal commercials that companies need to advertise their products. If you get rejected via commercial, ask whoever is rejecting you why they decided to make a commercial about it because it is unnecessary, insulting and doesn't occur very often. Ask for the name and contact information of the person that made the commercial. You have the right to know who made the commercial and the reasoning behind it.

If you make a rejection commercial you are a rich douche bag.

Commercial Rebel

A Commercial Rebel is someone who rebels against restrictive commercial interests, but is not quite a Commercial Menace in which he or she is still well meaning enough to be seen.

Many a Commercial Rebel, most famously the Studio Break camaraderie, have entered the anime industry during the early 1980s to mid 1990s.

filming a FloTv commercial

spending the day shopping with the girlfriend; going shopping in general with a female when you are not buying anything for yourself; being forced to spend hours at the mall wishing you could escape to something more serene

Tim: Hey man, a bunch of us are going to play basketball around noon, would you like to come?

James: I wish i could but I'm afraid I'll be filming a FloTv commercial. All. Day.

Tim: Sucks Bro. Really sucks.
