I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

There are some good ones. The first one wasn't that great.

The only one I've sort of enjoyed is the Vice news spoof. I find both of these guys to be hysterical, but I just don't think the show is very funny. It's too serious in its delivery, I'd say it's hardly even comedic.

Game of thrones but factually based about the vikings taking over England before it was England.

Only 8 episodes but well worth looking up.
