Television Commercials Quotes

Because he did have that gift, truly he did, he was the Man of a Thousand Voices and a Voice. If you wanted to know how your ketchup bottle should talk in its television commercial, if you were unsure as to the ideal voice for your packet of garlic-flavoured crisps, he was your very man. He made carpets speak in warehouse advertisements, he did celebrity impersonations, baked beans, frozen peas. Salman Rushdie
Everygeneration wants to be the last. Every generation hates the next trend in music they can't understand. We hate to give up those reins of our culture. To find our own music playing in elevators. The ballad for our revolution, turned into background music for a television commercial. To find ourgeneration's clothes and hair suddenly retro. Chuck Palahniuk

You’re a drunk. Or a cripple. Or an idiot. Chuck Palahniuk
The threat to free television. The reason television is free is because it is a life support system for commercials. That fundamental aspect is about to change. Dick Wolf
Freedom! To fill people's mailboxes, eyes, ears and brains with commercial rubbish against their will, television programs that are impossible to watch with a sense of coherence. Freedom! To force information on people, taking no account of their right not to accept it or their right of peace of mind. Freedom! To spit in the eyes and souls of passersby with advertisements. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
America…is being lost through television. Because in advertising, mendacity and manipulation are raised to the level of internal values for the advertisers. Interruption is seen as a necessary concomitant to marketing. It used to be that a seven- or eight-year old could read consecutively for an hour or two. But they don’t do that much anymore. The habit has been lost. Every seven to ten minutes, a child is interrupted by a commercial on TV> Kids get used to the idea that their... Norman Mailer
Lee De Forest quote: "While theoretically and technically television may be..."

Good work is good work wherever it's done, in a play, a motion picture or television, and that includes commercials. Parker Stevenson
Seeing a murder on television can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some. Alfred Hitchcock
I have to be careful of what TV shows I choose, particularly ones that have commercials in them, because it's going to be a different kind of television show. John Hawkes
I've spent over 25 years in the television industry, the direct response industry. I met a lot of people and certainly learned the power of commercials and their brand building potential. Kevin Harrington
