r/TubiTV

I've gone through the app and website right now and it isn't working and I was in the middle of a movie😭😭

FOUND I was watching movies the other night when I got the usual ad break. I wasnt expecting much, but I'm really hung up on what I saw. If I remember correctly, it was a weird fiber related commercial. I think it was for a brand that sold some kind of fiber based food, I think it was pumpkin seeds or something? But what was weird was the dad in this commercial. He was literally portrayed by what looked like a mummified human doll, life size. He was on a toilet too, I think the gag was like, he didnt eat enough fiber so now hes struggling. It honestly felt super surreal, my roommate was there to witness it too.

I cant find anything on this commercial no matter where I look. Has anyone seen what I am talking about?

I’ve been seeing stuff online about how CN put their shows on Tubi. Stuff like Ben 10, Dexter’s Laboratory. I’m in Canada, are they not available here?

As its British person i just got a new tv and download tubi. Noticed it has lots on there but nowhere near the amount it has on US Tubi via a vpn.

The UK have a selection of British stand up specials licenced by the streaming service Nextup comedy which i pay for separately and really enjoy.

But i noticed classics like cartoon network shows and Akira Kurosawa films on the us tubi.

But wondering if canada or other countries have anything different from us/uk tubi.

Is there Australia or Japan etc tubi or not available in those countries

Recommendations appreciated

I don't care how unhinged, as long as it's entertaining.

(In desperation since the Great Piratesite Massacre)

I just decided to watch Dark City and in the first 10 seconds I knew it wasn't the version I saw so many years back. It was the theatrical version that literally spoils the entire mystery before they establish there is one. Apparently it was studio mandated, but rightfully removed from the Directors Cut.

It got me thinking about other movies that open with scenes or narration that arguably shouldn't exist.

Predator shows the spaceship arriving on earth. Without that shot the viewer has no idea what is hunting the boys until it's literally shown to them.

The Thing also shows the ship, though it's crashing. Without this shot the mystery isn't ruined unless you speak the same language as the helicopter pilots.

Blade Runner removed a ton of narration that even Harrison Ford objected to, though it was for most of the runtime in this case, not the opening. We still don't need to hear Dekkards inner monologue telling us how he feels. And the original ending is quite different too. No spoilers there, but worth a peek if you're interested.

What are some other movies that come to mind are guilty of these "crimes"?

What are you watching?

Tubi seems too good to be true. Had no idea, never paid attention to the app. It knows exactly what to feature and everything is free? I feel scared they’re gonna take it away or something.

Ok I been rewatching mythbusters via tubi on my hisense TV and it's continually freezing at between 25-30 minutes and 15-10 minutes every episode. I have had issues with this app in the past with my former lg TV but this is a different issue that this. I have done the following reset my TV to factory settings uninstalled the app on my TV and reinstalled it. the only fix I have seen work consistently is fast forward the program by up to 1 minute which is annoying especially as I use the app to fall asleep at times and I have to keep looking up at the TV to fast forward it. Any ideas or help would be great
