In the UK, adverts for lawyers usually take the sympathetic route, calmly and soberly talking about all the ways that one injustice can damage your life, and saying stuff like "We're here to help." In America, they seem to be promising you your own A-Team to go and roundhouse kick that injustice and set it on fire.
It may sound cliché but Americans respect power and confidence. If you have one or both (or pretend you have them) then you're in the clear more often than not when running a business.
The first time I saw a U.S. Medical ad I keeled over with laughter. You guys don't understand how weird listing all the side effects sounds to people who aren't used to it.
+Greg. Sym. LOL It's weird to us too. And super annoying - they're the longest commercials on TV. My dad and I made a game out of them where we just mute the TV when they come on and try to list every disorder we can think of just shouting them at random. " May cause: Enflamed lips! Prostate cancer! Purple toenails! Enlarged or painful breasts! Excessive hair growth! Yellowing of the skin or eyes! ADHD! Brain atrophy! Chickenpox! Death!" It makes the commercials more bearable.
they're required to, but they don't want people to notice so they either say it really quickly or in a soothing voice and it's hilarious. (soft spoken woman's voice):"if you notice blood in your stool, stop taking ____ and contact your doctor right away. ask your doctor if ____ is right for you." lol DEAD.
In all seriousness, that happens because anti-depressants increase your energy and motivation *before* they start making you happier. So there's a window where you still feel like shit, but suddenly you're a lot better at following through on plans.
What's the name of the guy next to Fion (hope I spell it right ) I love him, his so funny lol. I think you should introduce all the people who works with you in general btw :) keep the nice work ^^
Facts. Can you guys actually show "classic" commercials? These are shown late at night and are the cheapest commercials in America. 80% of the people in the comments have never even seen the commercials you guys are showing! How about showing popular American commercials? Like the axe body spray ones.
fantasychan76 That wouldn't work because the Irish broadcast American T.V as it is. They don't get to see all the local trash that comes on in the midst of the night full of hair curlers cigarette butts, and t.v dinners.

Just by the way I'm an American who sits I. Front of the tv all day watching many channels and haven't seen most of these so thanks for including them big fan.
I'm an American and I have only seen one of those commercials, the Lunesta. All the others look like they're local/regional commercials, not widespread popular ones that span the whole country. I like watching your channel but please, do a little more "fact" checking/research into these videos. A lot of the food, taste testing videos you do also are not completely correct either. ❤️ y'all are hilarious, just wish they were more on point.
That's an unfortunate side effect of taking artificial testosterone. A rise in your testosterone levels causes your body's estrogen levels to rise as well, which is why men who take testosterone after having testicular cancer often grow breasts.
+Liz Antunez It's not about the best ads(that gets screened all over the world) but weird ones, like listing side -effects in commercials which is not done in most countries outside the USA.
Most those are local TV ads or stupid infomercials which plays when everyone is asleep. The only one that shocked me was Lunesta which is a brand name ad.
DontWakeTheInsomniac Aaah... that's interesting. I've never really understood the point of advertising prescription drugs. Is that the case for over-the-counter drugs (drugs you don't need a prescription for, like cough syrup or mild pain killers)?
DontWakeTheInsomniac Well, the patients have the final call on which drug to take. For example there are tons of asthma medications and a lot of different commercials. The doctor merely decides whether or not you can have that medication for your condition. They will try to steer you towards one or the other based on your condition and insurance (since insurance can be picky) but the final choice is yours and when you get the medicine you have to read yourself all the side effects.
Dear Ireland, These are very silly commercials! Even WE laugh at how stupid they are! Please don't judge us by them!!! All my love, an Irish American...
I think it's great to see other people getting the jokes and laughing at them like we do. I just wish they had included ones like the Tiddy Bear, Old Spice, Dos Equis, etc... The ones that become running jokes long after they air. Or Superbowl commercials! They only did "normal" commercials in this one, the ones were we roll our eyes and ignore them.
Cal Curtis wait wtf hahaha fuck off for no apparent reason, this commercials are retarded I have seen only 1 of them ever on tv. show them the super bowl commercials instead this are commercials not many people have ever seen.
Facts. Bruh, If you're trying to tell me Ireland has magical low testosterone drugs with no side effects, let the rest of the world in on this magic! Also, if you're trying to tell me no Irishmen with low T and transgendered Irishpeople don't take these hormones, I'd also call, what's the word, "bollocks"
Hapad Yamatt The point they are trying to make is that we just don't really advertise medication on TV in the say way, it just sounds hilarious. I've never seen an ad listing off a hazardous sounding list of side effects while actually trying to sell a product. We put some small print at the bottom of the screen rather than saying it out loud, so someone listing really rare but serious side effects while actually trying to make you buy something sounds like comedy rather than an actual sales pitch. The only thing in any way similar that I can think of would be a radio ad where there is obviously no print so things like terms and conditions have to be slightly elaborated on. Also the only meds we can advertise on TV are non- prescription/over the counter.
Lunesta (zopiclone) is also used in the UK and Ireland, it's probably just suggested by the doctor instead of advertised to the patient. The side effects are the same for people in other countries, and used for the same reason - a .1% chance of serious side effects versus a lifetime of insomnia might be an easy choice to make. America is just really weird that drugs are advertised to patients and it should frankly be illegal, forcing them to verbally say the side effects came about because they used to put them in small print and zip past them, it's become a bit of a farce and if we had a functional government this and other things wouldn't be a thing
Wait, do commercials for medical products not say the side effects in Ireland? I would rather know the risks and understand what to look out for than to be completely oblivious. And side rant, that fucking kush thing pisses me off. 55 fucking dollars for something that's not actually a problem? Complete bullshit. I have DD cups and have never had breast pain while just lying in bed.
+xXNoOneImportantXx For example in the netherlands pharmaceutical companies aren't allowed to advertise prescription only drugs on any medium. Aside from that there aren't a lot of medications available over the counter anymore either, a lot of them became prescription only in 2013. They don't even have anti nausea meds over the counter. At most you'll see adverts on the tv and in magazines selling cream to treat joint pain and that's pretty much it. Ireland may have a similar policy. I have FF cups and do sometimes feel a nagging pain when I try to sleep on my side, but I still wouldn't buy something like kush for it. It looks like a male masturbator/fleshlight.
In Germany there isn't a lot of commercials for medicine too, because most of the time your doctor has to give you a prescription so that you can take a medicine. But if there are commercials, they just say at the end: "For information about risks and side effects ask your doctor or druggist and read the description.".
Disappointing that one of the medication ads wasn't for that asthma drug that lists as a possible adverse effect "may increase the chances of asthma-related death." Uh. Uhhhh...
have you ever read a leaflet? like... that is very normal. even for ibuprofen a side effect is "headache". that's because the medication messes with this specific area of your bod, so if something goes wrong, where else would it be?
I'm so sick of those medicine commercials. "This will help with your sleeping problems! But it may also cause: WORSE sleeping problems, vomiting, swelling in the legs, blood clots in your arms, breathing problems, constipation, migraines, throat cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and death. See if it's right for you!" Like, wtf?!? I'd rather stick to the sleeping problems, thanks!!
Well, it might be worth it but only on the advice of a doctor or several doctors after you've been worked up for your sleeping problems and had tests done and stuff. It shouldn't just be, "I'm sleepy for some unknown reason... Gimme them pills!"
Stumbled across your videos and love watching them:) everyone that participates seems like they would be fun to have a drink with. Keep up the quality humor!
Testosterone deodorant. Ok. May cause prostate cancer. Ok, sounds like a fair trade. Note to myself. Next time I shove my deodorant up my arse I must ensure I've fixed the top on firmly.
Raymond Smith In MS we have Richard Swartz. "One call. That's all!" God damned ambulance chaser makes a living off encouraging people to sue for accidents and then getting his opponents to pay him to go away instead of going to court.
Me and my family are always laughing and making jokes about the affects they state in the commercials. Its so funny like "side affects may include internal bleeding, heart problems, and may lead to death." 😂😂😂
Drugs have the same side effects regardless of the country they are taken in. The only difference is because advertising them is allowed, the side effects must be made known. Also, the FDA requires mentioning every single thing that was reported as a side effect during the trail, regardless if it actually came from the drug, and even from the placebo group.
Mathew Crawford Basically, they take the same drugs, with the same chances of side effects, but they do it in blissful ignorance. That's the way it sounds, at least.
Young Frankenstein - hardly ignorance. Our doctors and our pharmacists will tell us of the risk by law. Surely US doctors must do they same? Also there's a full list of all side effects and medical advice inside the box. Hapad Yamatt no one's saying your way is dumber. Maybe there's something lost in the cultural differences, but it's the casual delivery of the side effects that seems rather strange to me. Relaxing images of people sleeping while the nice lady tells you they might die. :P If that's not strange then.....
DontWakeTheInsomniac Okay, that sounds about right. I was unsure, as I know the U.S. Federal Drug Administration is extremely stringent on how side effects are discussed and damn near a book on possible side effects can come with every new drug, plus U.S. pharmacists are required to pull you aside and discuss them with you if they see you are taking a new drug for the first time. It's to the point of obsessive, and I appreciate it, it just sounded like some other places are much more lax about the whole thing.
It's very similar in Ireland (tv adverts aside). I've been grilled just for buying over-the-counter codeine flu meds!! Here there is also a legal limit to one paracetamol/aspirin ect.. product per person, so you cannot buy two or more ibuprofen (example) products at a time. So if you want medicated cough syrup & pills at the same time, tough shit! :O We're certainly quite strict too. I'm not sure what agency regulates it here.
They have socialist medicine. I don't think they are even allowed private doctors outside of the socialist medical system. That is why we hear about all the horrible boob jobs in eastern Europe or south east Asia. Or about the British kid who got taken away because the parents wanted to take there son to get treated with a safer procedure in Romania. I believe but the British doctors wanted to save the kid with affordable and older brain damage causing socialist medicine cancer treatment and they had the parents listed as kidnappers. Totally different systems of medicine. They have charities not to give better care or to send people to get better care outside of the uk but fill out lengthy appeals for denial of health care. You get above a certain age they stop trying to give you brain damage to kill your brain cancer but they just let you die of it. I understand that the uk and Ireland are 2 different countries but I'm using the uk as a example because I don't know shit about the irish medical system.
moonspellsdumb what on earth are you on about? Are you talking about Ireland or the uk, because that sure as hell isn't the health care system in the uk
Emma Kate uk. But ireland probably has just as fucked up health care. Never been there so don't know. So you are saying that doctors in the uk didn't accuse 2 parents of kidnapping their own boy who had a brain tumor while taking him to eastern Europe for treatment. Are you saying that uk doesn't have charities just to help out people file appeals when denied treatment by the National health care system. Is it illegal for private companies in the uk to perform breast implant surgery? In America we get documentaries and day time talk shows with topic about british women getting horrible boob jobs in eastern Ukraine or se Asia. Is the irish medical system just as stupid as the uk's?
Near me we have a billboard for a law group that literally says "hurt or killed in an accident...call us!" Like somehow death would not be an impediment to ringing them up.
"Classic American Commercials" Wtf is this??? These aren't "Classic" at all! I haven't seen any of these! Please don't turn this channel into Buzzfeed!
In my country it just says something like "If you want to know about the side effects, read the patient information leaflet or ask your doctor/pharmacist."
in Germany we don't have ads for medicines that are only available on presriptionand for the free ones they say "for questions about risks and side effects, please consult your doctor or pharmacist." also I think in most countries people are just smart enough to read the leaflet (or is that the hard way you were talking about?)
SabeLoTodox3 Yes in America people tend not to read the leaflets so they mention the side effects in the commercials to cover their asses. Plus the doctors never tell you about side effects here unless you're very persistent about it. It's interesting that they don't have ads for prescription meds in Germany. It's always the little things you don't think about that turn out to be the most different. :)
Don't worry SabeLoTodox3.... I'm American and _always_ read the leaflet. There's hope for the US, yet! Btw... Does your name mean "He/She knows it all"? Or does it mean a "Know it All" in general?
I laughed me ass off when that first commercial started listing those side effects. "That's not a sleeping pill, thats a death pill" 😂 It's so true lol.
Hey, I'm a 38H and my boobs are still growing independently of my overall weight/body fat -- that boob pillow actually sounds fucking brilliant (though it could be better constructed by the looks of it)
+Linda de Montaigu They aren't really classics, but they're good examples of classic commercial tropes. You know, the pharmaceutical ad with the side effects of doom, the ambulance chasing lawyer commercial, the "As Seen On TV" madness...
I've grown so accustomed to the blatant amount of harmful side effects in medicine adverts that I don't really notice them anymore, it's like they're part of the formula here in the states.
Lmfao. That's my reaction to all of these crazy pharmaceutical commercial with the "serious side effect" parts being longer than the actual commercial.😂
You people don't understand the pain of those medical commercials. It's literally 2 or more minutes of "this may lead to death" "call your doctor if this occurs" with people doing mundane ass things in the background like walking their dog or going to the park and it's SO ANNOYING.
Anon Mason Because you don't need cigarettes but many need these medications. And it's good to let the consumer know what could happen when they purchase a product they're going to need to use.
Never in my life have I seen the second commercial and I'm laughing so hard, "is he eating something"?" OMG LOL. Haven't seen the third either. Their reactions to the side effects are hilarious. When I was in sixth grade we had a discussion on all the side effects of medicine ads, "may even cause death". The fourth one (another I have never seen) "The Hammer" the way he said it mixed with the dudes face expressions kills me. LOL. The first was the only one I have seen and the last was just like wtf. All this coming from an American.

It makes the commercials more bearable.

You should have showed them the headache medicines with the side affect of migraines. Those are my favorites.
PumpyCake or the anti depressants that cause 'suicidal thoughts or actions'
Better yet, the head-on commercial that doesn't tell you anything other than apply directly to the forehead.
In all seriousness, that happens because anti-depressants increase your energy and motivation *before* they start making you happier. So there's a window where you still feel like shit, but suddenly you're a lot better at following through on plans.
or the "don't take if you're allergic"
Evan Derickson That sounds like a terribly dangerous combo 😂
Omg the Lunesta commercial... So used to half the commercial being the bad side effects. It's funny to see other people think it's crazy
Thanks For Watching!

I totally agree with the pack here. I also like curly haired guy also!
Lawyer commercials are usually either weird/gimmicky with shitty effects, or boring as hell
Also, they could have picked way better commercials
+Astronautical Films its a five minute video, its not going to be entirely representative.
Sam Busch The few commercials they picked weren't popular or good. They wasn't even that much variety either.
+Astronautical Films what would be the fun in watching good commercials!? lol the terrible ones are funnier.

Ok, I only knew one of those, I'm American btw, and the last one is straight up crazy
I knew the first one
most of our commercials are strait up crazy, but then again, Japanese commercials are on another level in our eyes. it's all relative I think.
imagine first seeing this ad during a commercial break during Saturday night live I was so confused
okay, but nobody has said anything about how the last one was called kush. that was the best part for me
Ads in the US are either for prescription drugs, lawyer helplines for suing people and sometimes for food.
The weird thing is that I posted this comment before I watched the video.. :P
And insurance
after living in america for six years I can confirm that and add that they are all 5 minutes long and boring as fuck. Seriously it's rediculous
car commercials.

In other countries it is illegal to make such adverts.

At most you'll see adverts on the tv and in magazines selling cream to treat joint pain and that's pretty much it.
Ireland may have a similar policy.
I have FF cups and do sometimes feel a nagging pain when I try to sleep on my side, but I still wouldn't buy something like kush for it. It looks like a male masturbator/fleshlight.
Every commercial i have ever seen, they didn't say the side effects. I'm Dane
+Mina F They're not over the counter you need a prescription that's why it said "Ask your Doctor"
In Germany there isn't a lot of commercials for medicine too, because most of the time your doctor has to give you a prescription so that you can take a medicine. But if there are commercials, they just say at the end: "For information about risks and side effects ask your doctor or druggist and read the description.".
"HELP! I've fallen and I can't get up!" xD
I'll watch this over and over just to listen to them talk in that precious accent.
1:33 BMT Sounds like an American sandwich not a law firm....LOL!
Favorite commercial: I'M JIM ADDLER, THE TEXAS HAMMER
They should've showed them Carls jr. Commercials, geico commercials and some state farm or something else.
Disappointing that one of the medication ads wasn't for that asthma drug that lists as a possible adverse effect "may increase the chances of asthma-related death." Uh. Uhhhh...
have you ever read a leaflet? like... that is very normal. even for ibuprofen a side effect is "headache". that's because the medication messes with this specific area of your bod, so if something goes wrong, where else would it be?
Hmm. Never really thought about it like that (obviously). Thanks for being a nice TH-cam commenter and educating me without being a jerk. :)
i can see how a headache is equivalent to death.
"Having trouble sleeping? Why not try dying!" LOL that was great
"if you can't sleep why not try dying."
that part made me laugh really hard 😂😂
I was waiting for the Farmers Only commercial. Now that would've been interesting.
I have seen the first one but I have never seen the others.
+TigerRose same here
same
I'm so sick of those medicine commercials.
"This will help with your sleeping problems! But it may also cause: WORSE sleeping problems, vomiting, swelling in the legs, blood clots in your arms, breathing problems, constipation, migraines, throat cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and death. See if it's right for you!"
Like, wtf?!? I'd rather stick to the sleeping problems, thanks!!
Well, it might be worth it but only on the advice of a doctor or several doctors after you've been worked up for your sleeping problems and had tests done and stuff.
It shouldn't just be, "I'm sleepy for some unknown reason... Gimme them pills!"
Someone with severe insomnia will gladly take a few mild side effects to get some sleep.
Stumbled across your videos and love watching them:) everyone that participates seems like they would be fun to have a drink with. Keep up the quality humor!
Watching these with their fresh perspective makes me realize how hilarious these are.
Testosterone deodorant. Ok. May cause prostate cancer. Ok, sounds like a fair trade. Note to myself. Next time I shove my deodorant up my arse I must ensure I've fixed the top on firmly.
these irish ppl r just loveable
the law commercials are local we had Jim "the hammer" Shapiro who basically threaten to murder people that injured you.
I'm starting to doubt as well, Amy. And I AM an American.
Raymond Smith In MS we have Richard Swartz. "One call. That's all!" God damned ambulance chaser makes a living off encouraging people to sue for accidents and then getting his opponents to pay him to go away instead of going to court.
Here is Houston we also have a The Hammer. Hes so loud. XD
"you can't sleep? why not try dying" im laughing too much at this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me and my family are always laughing and making jokes about the affects they state in the commercials. Its so funny like "side affects may include internal bleeding, heart problems, and may lead to death." 😂😂😂
Drugs have the same side effects regardless of the country they are taken in. The only difference is because advertising them is allowed, the side effects must be made known. Also, the FDA requires mentioning every single thing that was reported as a side effect during the trail, regardless if it actually came from the drug, and even from the placebo group.
Mathew Crawford Basically, they take the same drugs, with the same chances of side effects, but they do it in blissful ignorance. That's the way it sounds, at least.
Young Frankenstein Yea and somehow our way is dumber XD
Young Frankenstein - hardly ignorance. Our doctors and our pharmacists will tell us of the risk by law. Surely US doctors must do they same? Also there's a full list of all side effects and medical advice inside the box.
Hapad Yamatt no one's saying your way is dumber. Maybe there's something lost in the cultural differences, but it's the
casual delivery of the side effects that seems rather strange to me. Relaxing images of people sleeping while the nice lady tells you they might die. :P If that's not strange then.....
DontWakeTheInsomniac Okay, that sounds about right. I was unsure, as I know the U.S. Federal Drug Administration is extremely stringent on how side effects are discussed and damn near a book on possible side effects can come with every new drug, plus U.S. pharmacists are required to pull you aside and discuss them with you if they see you are taking a new drug for the first time. It's to the point of obsessive, and I appreciate it, it just sounded like some other places are much more lax about the whole thing.
It's very similar in Ireland (tv adverts aside). I've been grilled just for buying over-the-counter codeine flu meds!! Here there is also a legal limit to one paracetamol/aspirin ect.. product per person, so you cannot buy two or more ibuprofen (example) products at a time.
So if you want medicated cough syrup & pills at the same time, tough shit! :O
We're certainly quite strict too. I'm not sure what agency regulates it here.
Do you guys not have commercials that list all the side affects? I'm pretty sure it's a law here to list them.
We don't usually have medicine ads
No in ireland we don't use drugs as much as Americans.
They have socialist medicine. I don't think they are even allowed private doctors outside of the socialist medical system. That is why we hear about all the horrible boob jobs in eastern Europe or south east Asia. Or about the British kid who got taken away because the parents wanted to take there son to get treated with a safer procedure in Romania. I believe but the British doctors wanted to save the kid with affordable and older brain damage causing socialist medicine cancer treatment and they had the parents listed as kidnappers. Totally different systems of medicine. They have charities not to give better care or to send people to get better care outside of the uk but fill out lengthy appeals for denial of health care. You get above a certain age they stop trying to give you brain damage to kill your brain cancer but they just let you die of it.
I understand that the uk and Ireland are 2 different countries but I'm using the uk as a example because I don't know shit about the irish medical system.
moonspellsdumb what on earth are you on about? Are you talking about Ireland or the uk, because that sure as hell isn't the health care system in the uk
Emma Kate uk. But ireland probably has just as fucked up health care. Never been there so don't know.
So you are saying that doctors in the uk didn't accuse 2 parents of kidnapping their own boy who had a brain tumor while taking him to eastern Europe for treatment.
Are you saying that uk doesn't have charities just to help out people file appeals when denied treatment by the National health care system.
Is it illegal for private companies in the uk to perform breast implant surgery?
In America we get documentaries and day time talk shows with topic about british women getting horrible boob jobs in eastern Ukraine or se Asia.
Is the irish medical system just as stupid as the uk's?
I'm American and I haven't seen any of these commercials
You guys need to do a video of just American prescription med ads! I love your guy's shock at the warnings.
'That's not a sleeping pill, that's a death pill!' LOL my favorite
WHERE IS THE SUNSETTER RETRACTABLE AWNING? IT MAKES PATIOS 7 DEGREES COOLER!
Do all medical/cosmetic products in the US have to have a voiceover of all the dangers?!??! I'm Australian and I find it ridiculous/hilarious! :p
Yes. They're required by law to list all the dangers. It's also to save the company's ass incase their product does kill someone.
Wow! Here you they mostly just put the potential dangers in a leaflet in the box of whatever you're buying.
Kailah Louise they do that to I'm sorry can't you google this it's just extra measures for safety
PYJhawk I understand that, I just find it interesting that they say it aloud in ads as that isn't done here.
Its great... Viagra: "if you have an erection lasting for more than 4 hours, please stop using viagra and visit your doctor immediately. "
Yeah, this is why many Americans have abandoned network/cable/satellite television for online content like this youtube content.
For sure. Our house did.
very true. i barely watch tv ever
"And may be fatal"
"You don't need a stick full of... Love juice"
😂
" You cant sleep? Why not try dying " :) too funny!!
Near me we have a billboard for a law group that literally says "hurt or killed in an accident...call us!"
Like somehow death would not be an impediment to ringing them up.
"Classic American Commercials" Wtf is this??? These aren't "Classic" at all! I haven't seen any of these! Please don't turn this channel into Buzzfeed!
The world doesn't revolve around you mate, just cuz you haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not common
CabraLad no need to be a dick mate, as I haven't seen any either. Bad word choice doesn't always equate to being a selfish prick.
***** cool
CabraLad
*narrows eyes*
***** becomes asian👲
Should have shown them Old Spice and the funny Cialis/Viagra commercials.
"reservoir law" yes! perfect 😂
"Oh, can't sleep? Try dying." Ryan is hysterical.
Non of those were popular American commercials
So I guess in other countries they just don't tell you the side effects and you learn the hard way?
In my country it just says something like "If you want to know about the side effects, read the patient information leaflet or ask your doctor/pharmacist."
In Denmark medication and stuff aren't really in comercials. It's not like "call this number and get it". more like "you can get it here and here".
in Germany we don't have ads for medicines that are only available on presriptionand for the free ones they say "for questions about risks and side effects, please consult your doctor or pharmacist." also I think in most countries people are just smart enough to read the leaflet (or is that the hard way you were talking about?)
SabeLoTodox3 Yes in America people tend not to read the leaflets so they mention the side effects in the commercials to cover their asses. Plus the doctors never tell you about side effects here unless you're very persistent about it. It's interesting that they don't have ads for prescription meds in Germany. It's always the little things you don't think about that turn out to be the most different. :)
Don't worry SabeLoTodox3....
I'm American and _always_ read the leaflet.
There's hope for the US, yet!
Btw... Does your name mean "He/She knows it all"? Or does it mean a "Know it All" in general?
Curly is married?!
I know right
No ring, but hey who knows?
***** yeah I thought so too, but people have been saying he is. Hopefully not XD
Celestial Cove YAS we can all hope ;)
+Kinkerz Kiki I came down to the comments to see if anyone else had questions this xD
I laughed me ass off when that first commercial started listing those side effects. "That's not a sleeping pill, thats a death pill" 😂 It's so true lol.
"If you can't sleep then why not try dying" 😂😂😂
Wait, these types of ads are abnormal?!
Yup, at least in the UK
and in Germany as well
They're abnormal in every nation on Earth except USA.
right haha
The only nation crazy enough to allow prescription drugs to be marketed directly to patients.
Hey, I'm a 38H and my boobs are still growing independently of my overall weight/body fat -- that boob pillow actually sounds fucking brilliant (though it could be better constructed by the looks of it)
ok. now I'm curious about what Irish Comercials are like.
Cool.
there not realy stupid
+Dark Naff I'm from Ireland and I call them . Ads
+Jack Hartigan yeah ads is just short for adverts..
+razmataz13drums Adverts is just short for advertisements.
"Can't sleep? Why not try dying?" I'm going to die laughing.
"Oh you can't sleep? have you tried dying?" lolololol!!
Ryan and Ronan are a funny pair. Ryan's become the token miserable git since Ronan left.
ikr ronan's like Ryan's soulmate lol
The music at the end 4:23 reminded me of barneys them song
How are these 'classic American commercials'?
exactly, they need to show old spice
+cream_o_potatoe what about 1-800-54Giant Giant Glass
+Jewel Vang we have old spice here in the UK and Ireland
+Linda de Montaigu They aren't really classics, but they're good examples of classic commercial tropes. You know, the pharmaceutical ad with the side effects of doom, the ambulance chasing lawyer commercial, the "As Seen On TV" madness...
+pepperminty green Watch again at 14-16 seconds into it
That quote at the end was brilliant.
"Can't sleep? Why not try dying?"
"Can't sleep? Why not try dying? Laughed so hard I passed a stone.
Should of showed em old spice
Watch this space... We're on it ;-)
Great looking forward to it
+Vincent Marchese haha you said it
on i remember seeing that first add you people watched i really liked the butterfly
i just didn't care for the medicine thing i just liked the butterfly
the rest I don't know or understand
I've grown so accustomed to the blatant amount of harmful side effects in medicine adverts that I don't really notice them anymore, it's like they're part of the formula here in the states.
"Like love is a drug, right? You don't need a stick full of love juice." BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Lmfao. That's my reaction to all of these crazy pharmaceutical commercial with the "serious side effect" parts being longer than the actual commercial.😂
You people don't understand the pain of those medical commercials. It's literally 2 or more minutes of "this may lead to death" "call your doctor if this occurs" with people doing mundane ass things in the background like walking their dog or going to the park and it's SO ANNOYING.
Well, great for that girl that she can sleep on her front but most women can't because it's PAINFUL
Once you get out of puberty and not prego, its not painful any more.
missy L i am well out of puberty and not pregnant, still painful
Barbara She doesnt really have large breasts so its not a big deal for her.
Barbara Wait what? I have fairly average I suppose (C-cup) breasts and I sleep on my front with no problem.
Raine Welsher I have G-cup breasts and sleep on my stomach all the time.
Cigarettes can't put commercials up because it 'may cause cancer'. Yet these medications can?
Ikr
Anon Mason Because you don't need cigarettes but many need these medications. And it's good to let the consumer know what could happen when they purchase a product they're going to need to use.
That's info you should be getting from your doctor, who's way more qualified than you.
It's known that cigarettes cause cancer but the medications CAN cause cancer if your body reacts badly to them.
Thats a death pill LOL too funny XD I love that guy "You having that?!" Hahha
Never in my life have I seen the second commercial and I'm laughing so hard, "is he eating something"?" OMG LOL.
Haven't seen the third either. Their reactions to the side effects are hilarious. When I was in sixth grade we had a discussion on all the side effects of medicine ads, "may even cause death".
The fourth one (another I have never seen) "The Hammer" the way he said it mixed with the dudes face expressions kills me. LOL.
The first was the only one I have seen and the last was just like wtf. All this coming from an American.
Where are you getting these commercials? I haven't seen any of these in years
In years?They shouldn't exist at ALL!
true man lmao haha
