commercials
A deadly disease that has proven to cause anger and anxiety in people. It spreads through the media. Televisions worldwide have been infected by them. It is starting to spread even worse and worse. It has infected radio stations, the internet, youtube, movies, and street corners.
Scientists are still looking for a cure to commercials. However, the nation is run by the media so they have not had any luck in stopping the spread of the commercials disease. God help us all.

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.
