“I usually just fast forward through the commercials.”
You are having a conversation with your friend about a TV commercial, but you haven't seen it because you don't watch commercials. You have a DVR and always skip commercials. You explain to your friend:
I usually just fast forward through the commercials.
just (do something)
You use this phrase when the action you're describing seems easy, simple, fast, or unimportant:
I just googled "new york florist" and that was the first shop that came up, so I called them.
fast forward through (something)
You "fast forward" a video or an audio recording in order to move to the next part more quickly. When you fast forward through a part of the video or song, you are skipping that part and not watching it.
the commercials
"Commercials" are TV advertisements. In the U.S., several commercials are shown in a block between segments of a TV show. "The commercials" refers to this period of time when commercials are being shown.
