His dad died in 9/11, he bought a Staten Island Ferry stoned out of his mind and he's reported to have a giant hog. These all qualify him to pitch Taco Bell breakfast.

why are there SO MANY commercials where there's basically zero content other than a bunch of people dancing? dancing for prescription drugs, dancing for fast food, dancing for interior paint. well we don't really know how to sell this product so we'll just cast a bunch of dancers for a 15 second spot. this California vs COVID ad is the most embarrassing thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uED3Ehb5SA

I just saw a Boost Inifinite mobile ad where a man is literally pissing away money into a urinal. No, thanks.

I know that a child's laughter is supposed to be, like, a symbol of the purest joy or whatever, but this VW commercial where the girl laughs over and over again is the most annoying commercial I have seen in a very, very, VERY long time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0viJsiwHMT0

Medication ads warning of side effects worse than the condition they're treating are my favorite thing. "Do you have chronic headaches? Would you prefer to risk seizures and death?"

There’s a drug commercial on Hulu for some probably made-up-just-to-sell-this-drug condition that has an acronym for a name but they don’t explain what it is or what the symptoms are so you’ll hopefully go Google it and click on the search result ad. It is a goddamn eye injection. No, I don’t care if it’s not actually injected directly into the eyeball. gently caress that.

Reminds me of the thing that touts itself as an alternative if you have sleep apnea but don't like using a CPAP machine. You've got to actually go to their webpage to find out that what they're suggesting instead is a device surgically inserted into your throat.

Every chime credit builder credit card whatever ad can die in a fire. They’re all absolutely terrible. But I especially hate the one with the “indie filmmaker” where he talks about being afraid of credit cards but was able to use this card to help make a feature film. gently caress off dude.

I feel like we've been making fun of drug ads since I was a kid, at least, and they're getting worse all the time. It all feels just as bad as Happy Fun Ball, and that was supposed to be a joke. The real solution is just to not advertise prescription drugs to consumers, but that's also not profitable to do so we'll keep getting this poo poo.

I like the ones with crazy out of left field side-effects that you'd never even consider as a possibility. On one hand, migraine treatment might kill you has a weird logic because if it is playing with blood pressure, then...ok I can follow that. Cipro giving you a slight chance of rupturing your Achilles Tendon? Huh?

I only dimly recall the time before deregulated TV. The ads still sucked, but at least they weren't 100% drug commercials. But on the plus side, haven't seen an ad for boner-pill in ages.

My vague recollection is that this is because anything that happens to the test group while they're on the drug has to be listed as a possible side effect unless they're in a car accident or something, but that's probably wrong.

I do believe that is true. That said, there's a category of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Cipro is the most common and widely used one. For unclear, but rare, reasons, they have a negative effect on the cell type that make up tendons. It seems to also affect the Achilles more than other tendons. They've been investigating it for almost 40 years and still haven't cracked the case.
