Methods and systems for establishing a mode of communication between particular users based on perceived lulls in media assets

A system for establishing a mode of communication, the system comprising:

• communications circuitry;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• retrieve, using the communications circuitry, a first user profile associated with a first user who is consuming a media asset;
• determine that the first user perceives a segment of the media asset as a lull based on the first user profile;
• retrieve a second user profile associated with the second user;
• determine that the second user also perceives the segment of the media asset to be a lull based on the second user profile;
• and
• in response to determining that the first user and the second user both perceive the media asset to be a lull, establish a mode of communication between the first user and the second user.
