Anyone else sick of CIALIS and ALEVE commercials?

[RoverSuswade]

Not so much the message but the FRICKIN' FREQUENCY! Says a lot about corporate profits these days and who has surplus cash lying around to spend on a gullible cable audience - that being the drug companies and the medical world.
I now, I know, just "turn off the TV." That's just not easy to do if you want to stay informed.
But hey, thank gawd for the mute button -if I can grab the remote fast enough before I have to hear 'George' say "take 2 Advil every 5 minutes and go hit the pot."

[hobbit709]

1. Those are bad enough but the ones that make me want to heave a brick are the Jared's ones.

[nomorenomore08]

36. Pain relievers and ED drugs are at least potentially useful to a lot of people.

Jewelry, aside from its sentimental value, is decidedly not.

[broiles]

2. The Nissan one where the girl lands on top of a train

and the ATT with the idiot with the kids are the ones that drive me bonkers. The Nissan ad was played six times during one of the playoffs.

[RoverSuswade]

42. I just saw that Nissan commercial on TV.

Really stupid. You just know that somewhere some idiot will smoke enough crack to actually try it.

[RoverSuswade]

3. In all fairness there are occasionally GOOD commercials

like the clever and artistic ads for KOREAN AIR.

[onehandle]

4. Cialis commercials are where old fashion models go to die.

Seriously. A lot of older middle-aged fashion models from your favorite catalogs of past decades.

[NightWatcher]

5. why do old people have intercourse in side by side claw foot tubs?

and why are they making it for dogs now?

[RoverSuswade]

7. At least the dogs are looking at each other.

The Cialis ads in the future will probably show Generation Z'ers sexting in the tubs.

[CTyankee]

15. That IS odd...the only explanation I can think of is that they want to hint at

nudity and bathing together but can't do it tastefully so they compromise with separate tubs...but it doesn't make ANY sense...

[NightWatcher]

22. intercourse in the tub/shower isn't something that older people should attempt

(prepares for the backlash from....)

[CTyankee]

25. I doubt if they do...their tub/shower seat gets in the way...

Personally, I'd like one of those walk-in tubs...I tell my husband he would like the Chair Lift...

[RC]

28. No they don't. You just don't have enough imagination.

Those walk in tubs are not all what they are claimed do to be.
First you have to get in and shut the door. Then wait while it fills.
When you are done, you have to wait till it drains, before you can get out. Wet, you might get a bit chilled waiting. I would never get one.

[CTyankee]

32. I guess you could have a towel handy to dry off top down while the tub drains down...

What I really need is a wide walk in shower with a built in seat, like they have in rehab facilities...the regular tub is just too damn high...

[Packerowner740]

35. Cialis ads aren't targeted just at "older people"

There are people like myself that have neurological problems that can benefit from it and I am not "older".

[TheMightyFavog]

66. I really don't mind ads for over the counter drugs like Aleve.

But direct to consumer advertising of prescription drugs should be illegal.

[Kaleva]

40. That's why I upgraded to a 5' walk in shower.

[Whisp]

46. certainly not without those suction cup handles you can put anywhere

lots of handles...

[cherokeeprogressive]

53. "Love Handles" for your shower!

He's got love handles, she's got love handles, why shouldn't the SHOWER have love handles?

I can SO see this on a package at the local um... good-time store.

[Squinch]

45. More important, HOW does one have sex with someone in a separate bathtub?

Am I missing something? Is it a flexibility thing?

Dumbest image in commercials, and they just keep using it.

[Whisp]

47. These message is implied, either

they are preparing and want to be squeaky clean in all the folds and wot wots
or
they are cleaning up after their folds and wot wots got all sticky

see?

[Squinch]

52. Nothing worse than a dirty wot wot. Especially a folded dirty wot wot.

Though, I am pretty sure the way the wot wot got dirty was not by sex, it was by hauling a pair of cast iron bathtubs down to the beach, and then hauling all the water to fill up the tub that was in the middle of nowhere. You work up a gorilla sweat doing that.

Maybe hauling a bathtub is a remedy for a four hour erection?

[Whisp]

56. Hmm, if four men had a four hour erection

they could carry the tubs down to the beach like pall bearers... if ya know whatImean.

[cherokeeprogressive]

60. That's sixteen man-hours of erection. That's equal to the total man-hours of erection PER YEAR

that the House and Senate had before the invention of Viagra.

[Squinch]

61. Ah! Erection furniture moving! Of course!

[cherokeeprogressive]

54. I think it's called a...

reach-over.

[Squinch]

58. Bahhhahahah! It's on right now! And now it's funny!

[cherokeeprogressive]

62. I know I'LL never think of it the same way again...

"Honey... let's take a bath and watch the sunset. Hey... feel this..."

[Katashi_itto]

6. Is it my imgaination or is there like Barry White playing in the background in these

commercials? If not he should be.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. The remote control and DVR are great cures for commercials.

Bless the inventors for such beneficial work.

[tularetom]

9. Yeah but not as sick as I am of the insurance ad with the giant baby in a diaper

I'd like to punch the asshole responsible for that one.

[Bluenorthwest]

16. I hate that commercial, I despise the concept, the execution, the performers

I forgive the baby. I hear he tried to talk them out of it.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Me, Three

And my wife hates it more than the three of us combined.
GAC

[Whisp]

49. gawd I hate talking baby commercials.

there was one a while ago where the baby was a snooty little stock broker, or similar.
that may have been the one dissing his mom.


!@@!!! %%*&!!

[get the red out]

10. Nutri System

Everybody goes from LARD ASS to a size 2. And Marie Osmond lost weight but obviously put it right back into her lips.

Sick to death of NUTRI SYSTEM!

[narnian60]

26. And every other weight loss/exercise equipment commercial. nt

[Initech]

30. Larry The Cable Guy hawks chewable heartburn medication.

Tell 'em George!

[liberal_at_heart]

33. It's that time of the year. From October to December we had to see Christmas

commercials. Now it's January. Time for weight loss commercials. Next month it it will be jewelry, candy, and flower commercials. What would life be without companies telling us what time of the year we should buy what products?

[Little_Wing]

11. I swear one of them uses the Stone's Sweet Virginia as their music

So of course, every time they come on, I am compelled to yell out: "Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes!"

Which does seem absolutely appropriate, and it provides me one of the few smiles I get from watching TV these days...

[HughBeaumont]

12. Boner pill commercials are frequent on CNBC.

All that poor-stomping and wingdingery plays hob on the knob.

Seems they know their target audience.

[RoverSuswade]

17. And remember...

"You should see a doctor if you have an erection for more than four hours after watching CNBC."

[Puglover]

13. What I am sick of

is every flipping website you hit on......hufpost.....weather.com.........you name it makes you watch a 15-30sec commercial before you get to the goddamned content.

The TV I can pause and fast forward, the computer you can mute but that's it.

[seaglass]

14. Bacon Bowl is the worst. My daughter and I counted and they say bacon bowl 17 times in one ad.

Just for that I will never buy a bacon bowl maker.

[CTyankee]

19. Even the actors can't eat the damn things gracefully!

It looks like a typically stupid Americans and their bad food type of thing, as they shove the "bowl" into their mouths...AAGGH!

[seaglass]

20. I didn't think it was possible to make bacon look unappetizing. :-)

[RoverSuswade]

21. TV commercials have really deteriorated in the past 10 years.

There were many "good" ones (or should I say entertaining) in the 80s & 90s (CocaCola comes to mind). The last ones I liked were the "Dell-Dude" spots and the "Free Credit Report Dot Com" ones with the 3 folk-singing guys.

[onenote]

38. Yeah. They're not nearly as good as this one from the past.

[Warren DeMontague]

23. I want to know who in their right mind drags two bathtubs down to the beach to watch the sunset.

[zappaman]

27. or even worse...

[Warren DeMontague]

39. Nah

That's just Britain.

[cherokeeprogressive]

55. My private stretch of beach has tubs... your private stretch of beach doesn't have tubs?

Dude... 'sup with that?

[Warren DeMontague]

65. Let's put it this way: If I'm planning on having a four hour erection

I only need ONE bathtub.

[cherokeeprogressive]

67. That's all?

I'd need a tanker.

[Warren DeMontague]

68. Bigfoot, is that you?

[CTyankee]

24. The doofus in that Cresto commercial is just bizarre...

it seems to imply that if you take Crestor you might be a doofus yourself...

[Initech]

29. I've always wondered what it is with those commercials and boats.

Like the Viagra commercial where it shows a guy at a dock getting ready to set sail.. WTF is up with that?

[cherokeeprogressive]

57. Is he a little man? In a boat? There's a message there somewhere...

I'm just not sure what it is.

[onethatcares]

31. what??

no one is tired of the vibrator commercials from Trojan yet?

Plus there is a new commercial for women concerning a drug that will help them get wet after menopause. I think that's a good thing but the after effects or side effects are garamonsterous.

And I don't need to hear about it ever 23 minutes either.

[hunter]

34. Huh? What? I don't watch televison. No cable, no broadcsast, no satellite...

In fact, I see very little advertising in a day. Even the junk mail goes straight into the recycling bin.

No loss to the advertisers, I guess, since I don't buy much of anything that's advertised anyways. (When's the last time you saw an ad for bulk brown rice, local vegetables, or Open Source Software?)

I like to think it frees up my mind to think about other things. I feel better informed NOT watching television. (Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/news for international news. It slants heavily toward the English speaking market perspective, but it's not nearly so hideous as any U.S. network or local news.

We do buy DVD's and trade them extensively among family and friends. Same with books. We subscribe to our local newspaper too; it's a little thin these days, but they still cover reasonable news and politics, not just the bloody stuff or the inane syndicated stuff or all the ads that one must suffer through with local television news. If it's in the paper, that stuff is easily skipped over.

[Liberal Veteran]

37. Not as much as: "Where's Jill? She's really lonely and out walking the corn field again."

[quinnox]

41. Yep, when I watched tv, they sure did get annoying

But I have not watched tv in a couple months, and am not feeling like I'm missing anything.

[WinkyDink]

43. AMEN.

[Llewlladdwr]

44. People still watch commercials?

Commercials are why god gave us DVRs...

[neverforget]

48. I'm thankful that Michael Bolton in those Honda Holiday commercials are off the air.

His voice grates on me.

[LittleBlue]

50. God yes. And the class action lawsuit commercials

"You might have a claim", just fuck off!

Oh and those damn catheter commercials.

[cherokeeprogressive]

51. Nnnnnnope.

[TDale313]

59. I really don't like prescription drug ads on TV.

But the ones that really irritate me are the Walmart and BP image ads (really, we're not evil- trust us!) that seemed to run every commercial break on msnbc for a while there. Ugg.

[Archae]

63. Just look at the ads from the late 60's, early to mid 70's.

The musical arranger for more than half of those inane jingles was Barry Manilow.
That should sum it up.

The ads aimed at kids, were the worst.

Toys and cereal.

[jberryhill]

64. Ever try jerking off with ED and arthritis?
