There have been a few specials on here in the US about foreign commercials.
They included Japanese, French and ,I think, British commercials.  They were
very entertaining-in one case they did a half hour show on them.  Commercials
in the US are usually tasteless and stupid.  This includes the commercials
in theaters.

Besides,  previews of upcoming movies and the film clip of a local DJ(larry
lujack, in chicago) asking you to be polite and not smoke in the theater 
take care of the latecomers and settling the crowd.  Commercials are not
needed.  Some places even throw a cartoon in at the beginning.
