I have never been so pleased to not get any of these references.
NewPipe/Freetube/Invidious instances + SponsorBlock API support is really great at filtering all of these useless advertising memes. Somehow ($$$) the behavior of TV adverts culture seeped into YouTube. I've not watched broadcast/cable TV in years, but when I interact with people that do, inevitably, they make similar references. It's super weird.
Wait...
You can auto skip the in-video sponsor ads?
Yeah, SponsorBlock (https://sponsor.ajay.app/) is crowdsourced data for the in-video ads. Weirdly enough, I've never contributed timestamps, but the vast majority of the content I watch has submitted timestamps. I support a bunch of creators on patreon, but very much disagree with their double dipping.
