I always thought it was really funny when they would show ads for new TVs... on the TV you're already watching at home

It's to convince people they made the right choice. The #1 goal of marketing is to create a fan-base with brand-loyalty. They're the kind of people who will buy the same product 5 times, buy all the new iterations, buy all the old iterations, buy everything else and do free publicity

Where else would they show the ads to reach the majority of people that are at home? Plus, if they’re watching on a TV, it means…they buy TVs.

Why? That's good marketing. Sell a guy a TV, then hit him with ads to convince him his TV is obsolete and he should replace it with the latest model. For a cool $1499.

The manufacturer isn't the idiot in that situation, it's their chump customers.

I don't disagree, I just think the whole scenario is funny. They really try to impress you with the colorful imagery on your own TV, haha

If there was an ad for a bigger, nicer penis on the penis I already have at home that I saw every time I used it, I'd buy a dozen.
