I am so sick of hearing and seeing Charter Spectrum Rap commercial . It seems that this very annoying and ignorant commercial is on every five to ten minutes. I can only assume that Charter must have a huge advertising budget to air it so much. I am now taking to muting it every time it is on.
I understand saturating the market but, this is going to far. If you want to keep your current customers than I would suggest that you remove this worthless ad. We are tired of being bombarded with some wanna be rappers who are not all that. Poor advertising at best. You obviously don't have a very good advertising dept if this the best that they can do. And we are fed up with this please stop it with the constant airing of it. Thank you.

Just heard today that they bought up our local provider Bright House as well as Time Warner.
Some time over the next 18 months Bright House will become known as Spectrum. Won't affect me because I don't subscribe to them or any other pay TV service. Free TV is fine with me!!! |

^ Bright House sounds like a home for retarded people or wayward youth.

Given what TV cable costs nowadays vs the quality of the programming you get for your money, that's pretty much what it is.

The Charter rapper ad is the WORST!! Worse than their singing pirates ad, worse than their dancing office workers, and worse than their "our house" suburbia ad. I want to tazer the actors as well as everyone at the ad agency behind this garbage. I'm going to send a snail mail complaint to Charter's headquarters and to the ad agency.
They sought to create thw worst ad possible, just to annoy viewers, just to make us remember the company name. |

I really hate this commercial, too! I hate the gang signs and noise. I also wish Charter would comply with the CALM act and not jack up the sound whenever this commercial airs, which is every few minutes. If they didn't have a monopoly in this area, I would drop Charter faster than I can blink! All of their commercials are geared to 12 year olds -- yet how many 12 year olds are responsible for paying for the subscription?

^ Well, if I had kids, I'd pay whatever the subscription cost, just so that I could plop the kids in front of the TV all day and not have to be bothered with all those annoying little kiddie activities parents are supposed to get involved in.
Ballet? Baseball? Go watch it on TV, kids. They're better at it than you, anyway. |

I am so sick to death of Charter's rapping that I change the channel every time it airs. Charter's idiotic advertising department should be ASHAMED of themselves, because the commercial makes them look bad. What the hell is the point of having a RAP to promote TV/internet/phone, when in Yakima you are the only ones available for cable TV? F--k you VERY MUCH Charter.
I still see it 6-8 times a day, if not more, on our local stations. I'm sick to death of having to hit mute and the channel up button all the time.

After a couple weeks on hiatus, the rapping is back, big time. In the past two days I've seen it no less than a dozen times. You heard me, TWELVE TIMES!!! What the f--k is Charter's problem?!
I am so sick and tired of changing the channel when it comes on that I could scream. F--k you VERY MUCH Spectrum! This is one of the worst commercials I've ever seen on television. Watch it...if you dare. If you watch it, you will lose 1,000 brain cells a second.

It got even worse today. I wanted to throw a damn rock at the TV for god's sake.
Today I saw it three times, on THREE CHANNELS AT THE SAME TIME!!! WTF is your problem Charter?! Take this piece of "work" and shove it all up your rear ends. I am sick to death of hearing the guy rap "200 channels and free HD" before I can reach for the remote to change it. Please get this turd off my TV...before I cancel my subscription and go Dish on you, Spectrum.

In this area, at least. Charter has started to double up their commercials.
You know, show 2 in a row?
The arrogant bastards, God! I get sick of this sh*t!

I still haven't seen that one here, there is another 'rapping' commercial.
I just now saw it for the first time. Multiple people, in a picture in picture type style.
Not as loud, more 'whitebread'. But still annoying as hell.

Yep. Saw that one too. Compared to that piece of turd that plays 10 times a day on my local stations, it's OK. Just sounds like modernized pop music as a group of people sing the good things about internet + phone. It only airs on the cable channels, not broadcast, as I've only seen it a few times and it's just their Double Play offer.
The "three channels @ the same time" thing happened yesterday afternoon. I was watching our local CBS (KIMA) and I started hearing the garbage as they went to commercial. Then flipped down to NBC/KNDO and heard the rapping once again...down to KCYU/Fox and heard it yet again...it was airing on three local channels at once. Only the local ABC, KAPP, had a commercial that WASN'T rapping... Other Charter states are airing the rapping as well...Michigan, South Carolina, Montana, Missouri. From what I can tell, I cannot find anyone who LIKES this commercial, so why air it?

The "picture in picture" ad aired on my local Fox station (KCYU) just a bit ago. AKA "modernized pop music". Phone # is 855-955-2999.
They've been mixing the horrific rap and this new pop one...

God, I'm getting so sick of their sh*t.
I've been banned from their facebook page, sometimes strong opinions get you in trouble.
I'm going to be 'opposite aka'. The way my luck is going, I may need a change.
"Great post, Donna!" I love you, Geico!

I was working out in Nevada this past week and for the first time received the full onslaught of the various Charter Spectrum TV commercials.
Just want to say... WTF? "Wow" doesn't even begin to do it justice. I truly do feel for you Charter subs that have to put up with this company. Thank God Charter is not the cable provider here!! |

The last several days have been the wanna-be pop stars and the beatboxer singing about cable TV. It's better than that horrible rap, but I'm starting to mute this one...often. I see it about 8 times a day, and at night now as well. These idiots always screw with my late evening Fox rerun of Two and a Half Men.
I guess Charter got enough complaints about the idiot rapper that they threw it in the garbage...for now.

I feel you Ron. I still see them 6-8 times a day and I feel like farting into Fitz's face, throwing my TV out the window, and immediately calling Dish Network to get a satellite subscription.
They have irritated us more than ever before the past few days. The Olympics are UNWATCHABLE. Every time we watch the primetime coverage, NBC/KNDO drops out, at least five times. Sometimes it sits on a frozen picture for 2-3 minutes at a time!! The fkers at Charter are ridiculous, and I can't believe we are forking out $150+ a month for this horrible service. The only other choice in a strict apartment complex is antenna, and with the amount of cable my relatives watch, that is not happening. What in the flying hell is Charter's problem!?!?!

Damn! I'm glad my local provider doesn't have irritating commercials like you do!
I grew up in the summertime watching TV at my grandparents house. CBS, TBS, PBS, FOX, and WB were basically what I watched. Back then commercials weren't too annoying and shows were decent. Nowadays with the incessant ads and reality crap it's become unwatchable! I hate that! Sormebody hould have warned me this was gonna happen! I feel for ya and I'm not even a subscriber to Spectrum! Ugh both of those ads are terrible excruciatingly BAD! By the way, in the first video. That blue and yellow shirt, is that the inspiration for the new uniforms of the federation in Star Trek Beyond? |

One good thing about TV-you could always turn it off
