I don't watch Rev3's shows on the Flash player; I typically subscribe to the QuickTime RSS feeds, since I find it to be the easiest to fast-forward past ads.
Food Mob is the most awkward of the shows on Rev3, since I have no idea when an ad is about to end, so I find myself randomly fast-forwarding and guessing when the show is back.
Can you maybe show the sponsor's logos a second time so I can pinpoint when you're done with them? That would be greatly appreciated.
What's wrong with just...I don't know...watching the ads?

No one watches the ads. so a way to skip them easier would be nice.

Yeah guys like Tokenuser says everybody needs to pay the bills which is why they are on everything from websites to TV and radio. The really cool thing about Rev3 here is that we try and make the ads more fun and engaging for us all :)

maybe use the flash player for this show?
It's beyond ridiculous to ask the makers of Food Mob to go out of their way to help you skip the adds that pay their bills, especially when you are creating the problem yourself.
It would be karmic justice if someone strapped you down and propped open your eye lids to force you to watch the commercials like they do to the guy in A Clockwork Orange just for making such a ridiculous request.

I watch them, they last like a minute or less. What is wrong with the ads on Revision3 shows? I would rather have Niall or any other Revision3 host just tell me about the ad's than have an annoying 2 minute commercial break. The least you can do is watch the ads, even if you already own the product or service, you can refer a friend to sign up for them through Revision3.

This was my reaction when I read this post:

Do you honestly think they would want to make it easier for you to skip the only part of the show that allows them to earn a living? What a joke. The ads on Food Mob are perfectly acceptable. They are brief and allow the guys to keep the show going. Sigh.

Considering we've seen the same 4 sponsors 9 million+ times since the website started (who honestly doesn't know what GoDaddy, Netflix, Gamefly, and the annual Click It Or Ticket campaigns provide?), I'd say it already happened. Not just to me, but every single one of us. Karmic justice, indeed.
It's not like fast-forwarding past the ads robs them of money, anyway. They're still providing the logos, the URLs, and full-on advertising mid-video; that's good enough to provide sponsorship money for them.
