A lot of African American names are remixed Latin/Italian and Arabian names, so don't be surprised if you ever go to a black cookout and find out that half the male population is named after a bunch of Roman emperors.💀💀💀
Denise R. Can I be offended for you? There's not much that offends me as a priveleged white person, and I want second hand complaining rights because I'm carrying my ancestors' guilt.
Denise R. may I be offended by that question from Pardon Me? I'm also a privileged white person, and it would be great to feel better about that guilt I have while also doing nothing to help the black community.
Denise R. I'm not offended either but I'm not a fan of making up shit for names. African names are beautiful. There's a big difference in Nilah and Quintenisha or Shaquetha. #sorrynotsorry
Eddie Murphy did a bit about the name "Buckwheat"; he had a brother named "Farina". The family was named after their father's favorite cereals. There was the twins "Quisp and Quake", they had a retarded brother named, "Special K"; another cousin who was a prostitute named, "Trix". She had a brother who was gay and named "Lucky Charms" and his boyfriend, "Froot Loops" .
Why are people getting offended by this skit? I'm black with a Unique Name and I find this Funny(especially Tylenol😂😂) Black People have been given unique and creative names since the dawn of time and now people wanna cry over a joke. Laugh some time in your life it'll will make life better.
3:05 I'm guessing the line was supposed to be, "This is the biggest corporate injustice since my aunt Activia worked at that yogurt company." but you know, Activia and Octavia ARE very similar!
Working for pharma companies for years, I found the fact that one drug company took the heat for products made by about 10 different companies to be hilarious.
I worked with a girl named Allegra once...only her name was spelled Alegra. She was one annoying, high pitched sweaky voiced, tiny white girl. Every time I heard her name I laughed cause it reminded me of the drug lol
+Anybody Seen Richie? Oh yea real racist...since everyone else who commented on this video was like black this and black that and black this and black that I thought I would get everyone straight that it isn't just a black thing. Yup real racist of me....stupid fucktard.
I knew an Alegra too! But the girl I knew was interesting and nice. I don't know what her background was other than black. I felt bad for her because I can only imagine the endless references to allergies her name brought upon her.
"And you stole the name of my uncle, Cocaine!" "...that's not something we sell here.." "Oh really? Then why did I find this bag of cocaine in the bathroom!"
@daddyrichten its so easy for you to talk, you have no solutions, just open your mouth and blab bs, "mEn's rIghTs aCtIviSt" grow tf up, its very obvious you simply want people to pay attention to you, you are not a man, men don't act like this, you are p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c.
@daddyrichten you make it sound like they’re the only black woman alive her speaking out for black women(also human beings if you weren’t aware) and issues that affect them in society and looking for solutions for them DOES help progress humanity, you make little sense trying to say that it’s selfish but we can safely assume the only reason why you were so triggered is the ‘black’ part
I appreciate it bro I got there at 9 I was number 91 they did everybody would appointment first I only did 10 numbers in 3 hours 4 hours they said that's the way they do it now no one told me I got insurance and everything good-looking bro
She needs more training and rehearsals, but they clearly believe she is worth it. She is kind of a one trick pony the way they use her, but she's been a favorite comedian of mine for a long time.
As an MD of 35 years, my biggest complaint about the medical system is that every drug has both a marketing name and a completely different scientific name, many of the names are similar and get confused causing prescription errors, the side effects are often worse than the disease, the panels who decide drug guidelines are researchers funded by the same drug companies, and the Physician's Desk Reference is now too big to publish in book form, yet doctors are expected to know all of the side effects and drug interactions like walking encyclopedias.
… you just hit the nail on the head as to why, when I have a question about my meds, I call my *pharmacist* and not the clinic or my dr. I love my dr to bits but you’re right - 1 semester (or quarter, depending where you are) dedicated to pharmacology is NOT enough to make a dr a good reference. Go to your chemist if you have questions about meds or their uses, side effects, & interactions. 👏🏼
I'm Black and this is one of the funniest skits I've seen in the last couple of weeks...My people can be notorious at naming their kids the absolute most dumbest names they can think of!
So funny because I've been seeing that Lyrica commercial a lot lately and everytime i do I think of That mom and daughter who is both named Lyrica from Love and Hip Hop
Ha! I've been naming entities after medications for years! I have Cabbage Patch dolls named Mylanta and Trulicity, and I named a character in a show I wrote Celexa. :D
Who the hell DOES create drug names and what algorithm do they use to decide? I suppose marketing does that, to maximize profits, choosing the catchiest names?
The Ultimate Reductionist often the brand and/or generic have prefixes or suffixes that relate to certain classes or where the drug works, but otherwise, I have no clue. But for example Namenda (brand name for an Alzheimer's drug) works on the NMDA receptors. Get it? NaMenDA
I recall that names beginning in X and Z are very popular. Xanax, Xarelto , Zertec, Zestril www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/25/x-z-drug-names-pharmaceutical-companies_n_2549370.html
The Ultimate Reductionist I heard from a someone who does drug formulations and synthesis at a big company that they use a lot of strange words and letters so that the doctors and pharmacists can't mix up drugs when prescribing/filling it. Especially considering Drs handwriting.I'm sure it's also for brand recognition when they do commercials.
Thank you, Octavia Spencer, for pronouncing Humira correctly! The ads for that drug mispronounce it, rhyming the "ir" syllable with "air", which NOT a sound "ir" makes in the English language. IR can be as in mirror, (Helen) Mirren, or irritation, which is how Octavia pronounced it. The other, of course, as in Elvira and Ira.
I've watched those ads and I think maybe your brain is playing tricks on you. They pronounce the IR as in "Mirror" or "Lira" (currency for Italy). I don't hear the "air" pronunciation.
"Lil' Nicorette" always kills me.

Tylenol would be 63 years old now if it were to be a human. Therefore they stole the name Tylenol from the drug company.

You think you're joking but there are black people out there named Tylenol. I met a black chick whose name was Abcde. She pronounced it Ah-beesh-day.
was going to say the same thing!!!!!!!!!!
Allegra does her hair and has a baby named Nicorette was too funny.. 😂
Mz. Phatbaldkat I agree, that was funny 😂
Actually Allegra is a real name in Italian and I bet in Spanish too

Allegra means Cheerful. Allegria is Cheerfulness.

Maybe he was called that for other reasons ? Do we need the police ?
I agree

One of the best skits SNL has ever done. Big props to the genius who came up with the idea
Its one of my favorites
Always makes me laugh
😂😊😂
For some reason I thought they were going to say something about Viagra.
Ryota shes the one that makes men feel confident
Yep
Surprised they didn't.
That sounds like a real, feminine name, though
That's uncle Viagra!😂

No way, Cecily is fantastic! One of the funnier people on the show imo.
