[50 Shades Of Blue]

1. No. I hate watch it, LOL!

[Shellback Squid]

2. I want to know the story!

what's a "touch of diabetes"?

[FalloutShelter]

8. Very old fashioned term

My grandmother used to say she has a “ touch of sugar (diabetes)”

I hate this commercial too.

[vanlassie]

27. She has "Type Two Diabetes"

I thought it was Touchy Diabetes for months.

[Shellback Squid]

43. you're going to force me to watch this commercial to confirm

that sucks

[vanlassie]

56. No! You can trust me on this. It's ridiculous.

It’s really bad. And even more maddening, is that the song switches from present tense to past tense… grrrrr. Every. Single. Night.

[greatauntoftriplets]

40. Is it like being "a little bit pregnant:?

You either are or you aren't.

[Whatthe_Firetruck]

53. That's what my doc says...

Even tho I don't take meds for it anymore, it will be a concern for the rest of my life.

[Ocelot II]

3. It's a ridiculous ad - I hate it. A dumb dance number to a dumb song

about diabetes. But I don't hate it quite as much as I hate the Kars for Kids ad, which I mute almost as fast as I mute TFG when I hear his whiny voice.

[rubbersole]

19. 1-877-KarsForKids...

I want to put a pencil in my eye....

[elias7]

25. That's the one

WTF? Why would I give my car to a kid. Why wouldn’t I trade in my used car when buying my new EV?

[Demobrat]

52. Funny you should mention that.

I DIVE for the mute button every time that thing comes on. The Jardiance one is so bad it’s entertaining. The Kars for Kids one literally hurts my ears.

[GP6971]

4. I can't mute it fast enough.

[KT2000]

5. Yes, but I do like

the Chewy commercial with the talking dog who thinks she is amazing. I guess any commercial with dogs or cats is usually fun.

[Ocelot II]

6. I like the one where they're reading a rich man's will, and the summer house

was left to the cat.

[rsdsharp]

13. "You got a train set, Todd!"

[Sneederbunk]

23. "I really loved that old man."

[Ocelot II]

30. If cats could talk, they'd have voices like that one.

[BOSSHOG]

10. Ya wanna sell me something

Put a dog in your commercial. Budweiser Christmas ads. Dogs and horses. I’ve been drinking Bud for 50 years.

[FoxNewsSucks]

21. I like the Subaru ads with dogs.

Among the very few ads I don't mute, change channels, or FF.

[BOSSHOG]

22. Dogs are so darn good at it.

My wife drives a Subaru. I have issues with the company but they have nothing to do with the dogs.

[Ocelot II]

31. They should use dogs in diabetes commercials, not stupid dancing people.

[BOSSHOG]

32. Yer onto something My Friend

[StClone]

39. Get lemons and we made lemonade here

[a kennedy]

58. I like this Chewy advertisement better......

[Xavier Breath]

7. My wife's doctor had prescribed Jardiance for her

and she did not react well to it. So, she has a definite disdain for both the drug and the commercial, but that disdain is not quite at the Sarah-McLachlan-animals-in-distress level for her.

[Shermann]

9. Yeah that song blows! nt

[Hope22]

11. OMG it's a thing at our house!

Screen shots in messages and dance routines when it comes on. We do wish our diabetic cat could give the drug a go though. They seem so happy!😁🤣

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Good Grief! That's one that's on constantly!

[The Blue Flower]

14. That one makes me want to throw something at the tv

Jardiance is expensive. There are people like me whose doctor thinks they need it. And this is what my money pays for. Like we need Busby Berkley excess to be sold on a medication for a serious condition. And the storyline of the action is beyond stupid.

[halfulglas]

36. Something to remember is that ANY drug that is advertised on TV is an expensive drug.

It is usually a drug that still does not have a generic equivalent and so the manufacturer wants to gin up enough sales before it's old enough to go off patent. When they tell you to ask your doctor if the drug is "right" for you, your doctor interprets that as this patient wants me to prescribe this and may go to another doctor if I don't.

You almost never have a doctor definitively say, "this drug isn't appropriate for your condition" or "there are better and less expensive ways to treat your condition." But the patient almost never comes back later and definitively says, "Why didn't you tell me this drug was in such a higher tier that I have to pay so much extra."

You also never see ads saying take a generic Tylenol or ibuprofen for your pain, or you can safely take ibuprofen and acetaminophen together for greater pain control if needed rather than the prescription version.

[hlthe2b]

15. I like the mailman...😉 But, no. My hate is for the Lume' and "Christina"everythings a ? shower

remodel ads. At least the Jardiance commercial--however silly--is upbeat (and for me, quickly becomes white noise). My examples spike my BP every damned time I hear them.

[chowmama]

24. Oh, god, the Lume ads

Apparently without it, plants would wilt as we walked by. Canaries would fall out of the sky, dead before they hit the pavement. And it's every single body part. I mean, who ever heard of 'facial odor'? I could imagine if it referred to a full beard with a week's worth of food stuck in it - but this stuff isn't marketed to men. Just us stinky chicks.

I mean, I have been known to take a feckin' shower once in a while. That seems to handle whatever stench comes up. Bar soap, generic no-tears shampoo and Mennen Speed Stick original. Nobody's passed out in my presence for ages.

That having been said, the Jardiance ad is egregious. Especially since DH uses it and we're currently in the donut hole, largely because of it. We don't just mute, we change the channel. Same thing for the animals; I just can't take that, even if the music wasn't so over the top.

[maspaha]

46. OMG! The Lume ad...

I’ve been educated on body places & odor I never knew I had

[underpants]

16. Never seen it. Must watch different channels. Heard a lot of fuss about it.

[calguy]

17. I usually record the shows and games I want to watch on DVR

Then I fast forward through all the commercials. It's amazing watching a football gane. I can come in halfway through the second quarter, and usually catch up to live action after fast-forwarding through half time and all the commercials.

[Cheezoholic]

37. The only way to fly the couch ;) n/t

[Trueblue1968]

18. i do. i hate that commercial and i will not watch it. i would never take that drug.

[FoxNewsSucks]

20. I mute or fast-forward ALL ads except for the Subaru dog ads

and the Duluth Trading ads.

Everything else sucks and is so annoying.

[QED]

26. Bar-S, Balance of Nature, Neureva

So repetitive and annoying.

I do like the booking.com ad with Melissa McCarthy "as long as they have childcare." LOL

The chewy ads are fun - the one with the dog saying vahse is great.

[northoftheborder]

28. Aargh!!!!!!!!

That pudgy lady in the green pantsuit has engraved her song in my brain and I can’t get it out

[NH Ethylene]

44. I actually like that she is heavy set but looks good in the dress.

I just hate the singing and dancing for a medicine with sketchy side effects.

[broiles]

29. Not only mute but also I record many of shows

so I can fast forward through the commercials.

[Tetrachloride]

33. i have not had a TV for 10 years

except for the presidents, I rarely know the voices of politicians

Commercials? there is one i enjoy but it’s not American

[Picaro]

34. Yep

Absolutely hate it.

[Catherine Vincent]

35. Not as much as the one with Melissa McCarthy for booking.com

[AverageOldGuy]

38. Lume, bath and shower replacement, . . .

[not a texan]

41. medications should not have a theme song

It seems to be a trend and each and every one of them makes me reach for the remote

[NH Ethylene]

42. Yes, my husband and I both hate it!

We always mute it.

But I knew what it was going to be before I clicked in, and maybe that's what the advertisers were shooting for: Something so annoying that it sticks in our minds.

[Playingmantis]

45. Why do hate it?

The lyrics are just plain corny..."Jardiance is really swell...a little pill with a big story to tell!"

Who in hell uses the word "swell"anymore? I think the word went out sometime in 1950s or 60s along with "hep cat" and "beatnik" and "groovy"

Its total doggerel verse...forced, contrived and trivial

She looks at the sky and waves her arm and hand like the sun is shining for the first time ever and Jesus is making coming back on a cloud of gold....all over a pill

The woman is seriously overweight.. and while I don't mean to fat shame her..she should not be wiggling and dancing like a lean and trim woman ten years younger.

But here's the rub.. If people like the spot, the agency will assure the client they did a great job and should continue advertising..if people say they hate it the agency will say that is also good since people are paying attention!

Someone told me a long time ago, the broadcast industry lives and dies on bullshit.and this is a perfect example of it..

[relayerbob]

47. We mock virtually every commercial

Like Mystery Science Theater 3000, and pay exactly zero attention to who is on it, or what the product is.

[usaf-vet]

48. We haven't seen an ad or news program fot 8+ years. We cut the cable tv years ago. We stream ONLY...

.... what we want. 90%+ is British TV via BritBox and Acorn. Via Roku devices.

[CanonRay]

49. Instantly!

[question everything]

50. No. I like it and am not sure what it is selling but I like it that she is not a skinny

Hollywood model.

Like many of us she is a bit hefty but still sings and dances and I think she has a nice voice.

[IdiotsforPalin]

51. Drug Ads

Are out of control. Sky Rizzi commercials make me wanna puke.

[Demobrat]

54. I actually like the shingles one.

Shingles doesn’t care ….

Makes the point in an irreverent way that makes me laugh - and makes me glad I’ve had the vaccine.

[Thunderbeast]

55. I just started taking Jardiance.

I told my doctor how proud I was to fund the Busby Berkeley production ad. Made me feel better about a pill that retails for $625 per month!

Sure...Medicare picks up most of it. And, I have to admit that my blood sugars are down significantly.

[BigmanPigman]

57. Lume deodorant is the one that drives me insane in a nanosecond.

Apparently my complaints to the company were not the only ones. They received so many complaints that they have changed their commercial slightly so it is not as disgusting as it was. And when they run it back to back it is like a 5 minute commercial.
