The discussion centers around the annoyance caused by infomercials featuring Billy Mays, particularly his loud and aggressive selling style. Participants express frustration over his commercials interrupting their viewing experience, with many suggesting that viewers should avoid watching TV or use recording devices to skip commercials. Some highlight the disparity in volume between programs and commercials, noting that while commercials are not technically louder, they lack the dynamic range of regular programming, making them feel more jarring. There are mixed feelings about Mays himself; while some find him irritating and even liken him to brainwashing, others appreciate his energy and humor. The conversation also touches on alternatives to traditional TV viewing, such as streaming services and recording devices, as well as the broader implications of advertising on television. Overall, the thread reflects a shared annoyance with loud commercials, particularly those featuring Mays, and a desire for more enjoyable viewing experiences.
