Commercial Bumpers are short pieces of dialog that are heard before an episode takes a commercial break, usually between the second and third quarters of the episode. Some are fairly simple while others discuss nonsensical plotlines that never actually happen. Many episodes have had more than one bumper featured throughout their airing history.
