For those who don't live in the land of burgers like me this is shockingly accurate. Right down to the bathtub that's mysteriously on the beach.
FURTHER FOR PEOPLE IN FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES!
So often the drug commercial won't even tell you what the fuck the drug is for. You just see a bunch of old fucks dancing around all happy and then at the end its like 'ask your doctor if drugname is right for you'
I love Lemmy. The website was being weird so I accidentally sent this twice and you wholesome fucks went ahead and upvoted both
I hope the upvotes made you happy buddy :)
It did!
..... fuck.
That's it, I'm up voting everything you've posted.
Imma fucking cry yo
Ask your doctor if Lipafedatorapraxazol is for you.
Lipafedatorapraxazol is not recommended for those who drink water, or who may drink water in the future. Lipafedatorapraxazol is associated with strange dreams, enhanced chundering, and suicidal thoughts and actions. Lipafedatorapraxazol should not be taken on days that end with the letter Y. If you experience drooling, barking, or muscle spasms while taking Lipafedatorapraxazol, stop taking Lipafedatorapraxazol at once, as these may become permanent.
All this to treat my seasonal allergies? I'll take death, thanks.
Enhanced chundering? Kickass!

In some countries, like Canada, directly advertising for prescription drugs is illegal. But the marketing folks behind the drugs find these sorts of legal loopholes. The "ask your doctor" line is a cover-your-ass version which is actually saying "Google it".
I always wonder if people go to the doctor with a long list of drugs.
Is X right for me? No? What about Y? No? What about Z?
I do but I have a rare disease that medical science still isn't sure how to treat, so I got a few science degrees so I can read studies and make suggestions to my doctors. I'm basically my own doctor now, I just need someone to write the prescriptions and tell me if I'm being an idiot.
Oh hey, my dad did the same thing for his super rare disease. He actually pitched an experimental surgery to his doctor, and it worked extremely well and is now an option for others.
Most 1st world countries even.
Actually, some 1st world countries such as for example Denmark, don't allow ads for prescription medications at all. Which is the correct way.
That's what I said most 1 st countries don't allow for drug ads.
They can advertise, they just can't say what the drug is for. I've seen a few Ozempic commercials, where its just a dozen people asking "Have you tried Ozempic? Ask your doctor" for the entire commercial.
I wish they wouldn't, as a diabetic actually on the drug I've experienced so many shortages this year because of all the off label use. And while mounjaro is approved, they can't make enough of it to supply Canada
Except that in the actual commercial, they are in separate bathtubs lol.
You can't sell a hard dick pill and put the woman in the same small tub! Jesus, they would need to be in a pool alone, or in a hot tub with other people. Can you imagine the scandal of people understanding his dick is being used in a vagina!
Based on our dick pill commercials, you'd think they were anti depressants specifically for wealthy older men. Welcome to puritan America.
It's like 1950s television - they push the two tubs together to fuck.
Because jesus
