TV while tripping

On high doses its hard for me to watch TV when I'm tripping. The constant change in environment and always being offered things (commercials) really freaks me out. Cartoons are the worst, when I see a character doing something they shouldn't it makes me feel like I'm going to act like that. For the most part calm shows like the big bang theory put me in a good mood, but commercials fuck with me.
Thoughts? Is this normal?

this is your mind and it's perfectly normal. every individual likes different things, this is your 'thing' and it's okay.

I personally feel watching t.v is one of the worst things you can do while tripping. Normal t.v that is, maybe some nice nature but beyond that I feel it takes away from the experience.
plus put on your tinfoil hat that subliminal messaging might be extra receptive while tripping....lol what

I feel like it's important to watch TV at least once so you know that it's not the thing to do. Maybe your favorite show or cartoon. For example I absolutely love Archer on acid, but not shrooms, I love family guy on shrooms but not archer

I like to watch 3D animated films while tripping. They're so much better because you really get sucked into the plot, while watching the colors get more vibrant and trippy. The best 3D film I've ever seen while tripping was Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. It was amazing.

When you find yourself spending trips staring at the TV for hours, you know it's time to chill on the psychedelics. That's how I knew.
I spent a few years loving my LSD. After my friends would leave, I'd spend my comedown watching TV until I felt sleepy. It put weird shit into the forefront of my mind. Then I started tripping alone and a few times I spent almost the whole trip watching TV. Tripping lost meaning, and I realized it, so I pretty much stopped tripping. It would be decades before I got into it again and this time around - NO TV. No TV, computer, phone... none of that shit. Those things ruin it.

As long as I fast forward through the commercials shows like Bobs Burgers and the Cleveland show are really nice and pleasant to watch, but really far fetched extravagant shows like American Dad fuck with me.

I agree but only to a certain extent. Normally tripping for me is locking myself in my own world, i like tripping with people but I much much prefer it alone. Sometimes turning on TV or Facebook or something exposes yourself to the outside reality while your in a very vulnerable state and I find its very humbling and overwhelming. When you do it all the time it takes away purpose.

Sit in silent darkness with eyes closed for 45mins at least. Just try it at least once while on a high dose. I know it sounds like a waste of a trip, that's what I thought until I did it but these are some of the best trips.
T.V. is cancer especially with ads. At least watch the stuff on a website or netflix.

And if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered. You're giving it all away to ICONS. Icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that, you want to dress like X or have lips like Y... This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion. What is real is you, and your friends, your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And, we are told No, you're unimportant, you're peripheral — get a degree, get a job, get a this, get that, and then you're a player. You don't even want to play that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world."

I like making myself uncomfortable sometimes because I know that discomfort is there for a reason and I wanna figure out why. Family guy and American dad are fucking hilarious when I'm tripping. So weird but so funny. I figured out while I was on mushrooms that a bunch of the first episodes from season one of family guy have the ten commandments as lessons. Especially not worshipping false idols, some weird symbolism at the end of that one.
I always find complexities in movies and shows I would never find sober unless I was really looking for it.

I like to do that with mushrooms but acid is harder for me to sit still on. Lots of mushroom trips I've spent blasting music and smoking weed turning the lights on and off frequently. It will be light for 30 min then dark for 30.

Its a slippery slope for me, sometimes with really slow mundane shows like Bobs Burgers I can make really find a lot in it and analyze the relationships between the characters. With things like American Dad I make lots of really fucked up connections and it screws with me.

Watching TV is to tripping what checking your texts is to having sex. It's just wrong.

LSD is light hearted enough to watch some intense shows.
Actually I believe the first time I watched FLCL was on LSD. It's such a whimsical story and I saw right through every innuendo and twist.
Mushrooms are better suited to roaming, drawing, listening to some nice music and being in nature. That said disney's earth was fuggin sublime on 4 grams of cubensis.

Nowadays my trips are so far in between because of work and just responsibility in general that now I would never use one for TV watching as the main reason I was tripping. But that doesn't mean at the end of the night I don't like to get stoned and watch a funny cartoon when I'm not tripping anymore. Something familiar is grounding and it helps me sleep usually.

Planet earth is badass while tripping but i agree on the no tv basis , it's just a bunch of jarbled nonsense if your really far out but as some people have said you do get wierd connections or insight/realizations about a show or movie that you might not see sober, I watched a tosh.0 stand-up tripping on 1plsd once and it was intense like I felt like he was in a room talking to me and I also was like this dude just likes the shock factor

Gumby and friends, muted with a good mellow music mix going if fun. Your not really watching it but occasionally while your tripping some music will make it come to life for ya.

A few weeks back I was laying on the couch, trippping balls of 4g cube tea. Wife was sitting in chair watching some ghost movie. That was interesting. I remember telling her, when the characters would see the ghost, "man these guys are tripping harder than I am!" Lol

I'm not a fan of TV while tripping. I also hate the commercials plus there's not many options on anyway.
But I'm a BIG fan of trippy movies though. Here are few options...
