Side effects may include death.
What if ads had to show side affects by law.
So like theres a guy with gut wrenching abdominal cramps audibly blowing liquid ass mulch into the toilet bowel while moaning painfully.
Scene cuts to he's smiling and cutting the grass in the front yard.
I'd rather they just ban the drug commercials. Talk to a doctor about medicine, and if you are unsure about what is determined, get a second opinion. Companies trying to sell their product directly to end users and ignoring the repercussions to the middlemen just causes more problems than the 9000 issues we already have in healthcare.
Absolutely this. Drug ads are a plague and need to stop.
Strange joint pain, anal leakage, hair loss, anal leakage, minor headaches, anal leakage, throbbing veins, anal leakage, sore throat, anal leakage, eye twitching, anal leakage, shrink dink, anal leakage, tender nipples, anal leakage.

You forgot Brain Constipation
Fun fact... anal leakage's first big hit was not even pharma related. It was potato chips.
Fucking Olestra
I think you forgot the anal leakage.
It's difficult to forget, I hear. Except my drugs cause hearing loss.
Is this something American I'm too British to have experienced? Also, I use adblock so I probability wouldn't see it anyway.
The have to include any and all side effects that testing showed.
In other news, it's straight retarded to allow pharmaceutical advertising. But here we are.
Yes, and me too. It's horrible stuff https://youtu.be/EQkAX_Gi-tM https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCVkLEuVBQd8LfJGeNOd4RqARRykgrhfA
Polish TV has similarish adverts for medical products.

Ask your doctor if Abilify is right for you. (Side note, fuck Abilify. It's the worst med I've ever taken by a huge margin)
are those all band names?
They are! Some of them even have good music (ouch, self jab). A lot of them fall squarely in the realm of non metalheads saying "this isn't music/this is just noise", a few of them are small scale bands, and a few of them are really iconic bands.
3 inches of Blood is very much the outlier genre-wise, it's power metal about DnD stuff.
Surprised to see you threw Anorexia Nervosa in there, I've never met anybody else who had listened to them, or even heard of em for that matter.
Hell yeah, Anorexia Nervosa was one of my favorite bands for a long time. Good tunes. I grew up in a town with a comparatively big metal scene, so I was pretty blessed with a lot of metal that I would have otherwise never heard. Honestly I wasn't too sure that anyone would recognize anything from that list outside of Neurosis or a few others. Hell, I wouldn't recognize some of them if I didn't write the list, and it's all from my own music library.
Fleshgod, Gorod, Katatonia, and Spawn of Possession immediately stood out to me, among the others, but I was legit just surprised to have seen an Anorexia Nervosa mention up there.
Lol I feel the same about people mentioning Fleshgod. I know got pretty big fast, but the first time I heard of them was when they performed at the summer slaughter tour in 2011. I was there to see Black Dahlia Murder, but Fleshgod was very much the highlight of it for me.
I cannot believe I get to post this in the year of our lord 2025, but:
Relevant YTMND!
And a relevant song: The Great Hall of Feasting - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OU4-PDSjrQ
I think the cut is at the 2:50 ish mark, but it's tough to tell. Definitely in the 2:45-3:10 ish area though.
"Tell your doctor that you want your insurance company to give us piles of money to fuck you up."
I swear, drug companies' modus operandi solely revolves around coming up with side effects so awful that the original problem just doesn't seem as bad by comparison, despite the meds not actually helping it in any way.
Abilify made me unable to even consider anything beyond sleeping and eating.
What is it supposed to cure?
Typically depression and other mood stuff associated with bipolar.
I recently overheard one that was "fatal infection of the skin of the perineum." I thought might be one of the worst ways to go out.
God I hate the Jardiance commercials. I wish the writers a very die in a hole.
Thanks, I thought I'd gotten rid of that shitty ear worm but just a mention is all it took to bring it roaring back to life
Farxiga
Not just your normal fun kind of fatal infection, but the necrotizing fasciitis kind of fun
WTF? That's worse than whatever it's claiming to cure.
Those always make me assume that somebody had that issue while in the trial, and it was easier to throw it on the list than figure out if it actually had any connection to the drug. Let the primary care docs read the literature if they want to make an educated guess. The patients will just joke about it but probably still ask for it.
I don't know if I'd want to live in a world where people spontaneously break out into songs about their type 2 diabetes.
That's why I take Claridryl!

Thanks for the thought, but Piped isn't working all that great for many folks. I've had a lot better luck using regular YouTube links with the Grayjay app..
Holy shit, I love unedited footage of a bear!
THIS IS MY SERMON THIS IS MY SERMON THIS IS MY SERMON
Darn, the world is getting shittier and shittier and I'm all out of Claridryl!

Beat me to it.
I just always imagine that those ads are the vivid hallucinations of a patient in a mental hospital.
You can certainly aspire to those things, some of them are rather easy to accomplish.
You try and then realize its all the other people who mess it up, so you either remove yourself from society or try to destroy it to star anew. You know... the Thoreau vs Hitler dichotomy.
I always say this: ads exist in a parallel dimensions where problems are nonexistent. What minor problems there are can be solved trivially in less than 30 seconds.
There are no side effects, just happy accidents
I always thought the generic nature of many of these ads are slightly strange. They'd show some smiling woman walking down a beach, hair blowing in a breeze. Then they start talking about a medicine for COPD, bipolar disorder, acid reflux or whatever. I guess the viewer is supposed to assume that the woman is afflicted with one of these maladies and now is relieved from it? To me it looks like stock footage of some random lady walking down a beach who had no clue she'd be in a ad for Prozac.
The unfortunate reality is most people would rather choose "Joy" pills rather than face the realities that are required to be faced if we want to fix everything.
