Even those of us who lived through it might forget how terrible it was to have our shows decided by someone else, thousands of miles away. When you had to sit, and wait, for the show that was on to end so you could finally watch the one you want.
I think Hell might be like that.
These people, on the other hand, had a much more sinister idea for what everyone is forced to watch down below.
Reddit user, CharmingWitty, wanted to know what you're forced to watch every day in the afterlife of misery when they asked:
"You’re in Hell. What’s on TV?"
Why do advertisers think they're commercials are good? They're not. We tolerate them. We don't actively enjoy them.
So imagine watching the worst of the worst when you're downstairs.

"Selling only one thing - possibly slapchop. As a plus there's slap chop billboards everywhere, just in case you get the bright idea of switching the TV off and going for a walk."

It's not hard to imagine what's on television in hell because as it turns out, a lot of that stuff is already on as we speak.

Just Nothing Happening. For Forever.
"A tv show about a guy trying to connect to the internet through a dial-up modem, but the connection never happens and you just constantly hear the dial-up tones and noises. Probably has a really sh-tty, but catchy tune as well that gets stuck in your head as Satan takes you to the fire pits"
