Re: Commercials you absolutely f&*$ing HATE
Anyone see this Qatar Airlines commercial where there is a man and woman who can’t seem to connect until the end. But, they keep changing faces and looks like some AI thing, I think. What is that?

The Haribo gummy commercials... especially the one(s) with the football players.

Re: Commercials you absolutely f&*$ing HATE
I'm always shocked at how terrible the jingle is for Jardiance. They really got a room of professional ad men together and came up with "Jardiance is really swell/ The little pill with a big story to tell!". Like, really?
That's the best they could come up with? Was this their ad guy?

Hell, Lois Lane thought "swell" was a terrible word to use, and that was almost 50 years ago.

Re: Commercials you absolutely f&*$ing HATE
Most drug commercials are irritating where the majority of them spend most of the commercial listing all the ways their wonder drug will fuck you up and/or outright kill you. But a recent anti-depression horror called Spravado is so damn depressing I honestly have to mute it now! The music is the worst part, being a slow, repetitive dirge that makes me want to wither and die. Hold Music would be an improvement. A truly awful commercial that almost depresses me to the point of needing the product!

I keep seeing this commercial and I don't understand what is going on and I hate it. I was glad to see all the comments were from people equally as confused. You tried to get too abstract and you pissed me off!

I assume they work or else they wouldn’t bother airing them but every time I see a drug ad come on I immediately tune out. I honestly couldn’t tell you what any of these medications do for you. I might recognize the name if I hear it but I genuinely couldn’t tell you what any of them actually do.

I think the drug commercials are 100% designed for people with that condition, so that they ask for that drug by name from their doctor. The rest of us don't matter.

They might cause you diarrhea or constipation, increased or decreased heart rate, high or low blood pressure, seizures or temporary paralysis, dry throat or vomiting, penis shrinking or vaginal dryness, healing or death.

The Happy Fun Ball SNL skit is being eclipsed by reality at this point.

That’s probably about right. Though I’d typically take it a step further and say, “Yeah, I’ve heard of it. Does that come in a generic brand?”

Re: Commercials you absolutely f&*$ing HATE
I figure most of these that are advertised are too new to have a generic version? But maybe that's not how it works anymore.
