TiVo "#Tivoprank" (2015) 1:48 (USA)

Hi, we're TiVo. We hate commercials so much we made a fake one and inserted it in a movie for some stuntvertising, but then we interrupted the movie again with yet another commercial for TiVo Bolt. So it's not so much that TiVo hates advertising, so much as they like fake ads followed by real TiVo ads. Maybe they just hate ads that aren't meta? I dunno man, it's like a holiday week. Cut me some slack. Point is TiVo may hate ads all they want, but they still advertise.

By the way, this stunt was a private screening. In other words, this was carefully controlled "disruption." Now if TiVo really had some cojones they would have partnered with some local theaters last week during the showing of the new Star Wars. Now that would have been disruptive. And gotten them some seriously earned media.
