Yup, and how come they never tell you what the drug does? All they say is "Ask your doctor if Nexium is right for you" or whatever. I'm not gonna go bring my doctor a list of 100 drugs i heard about on the radio and ask if they are right for me... if you tell me what it does, maybe I'll ask if I think it could be of use to me.

2 guys sitting and grooving while one guy says: wawawawawawawawa Dude. Dude. wawawawawawawawa Dude. Dude. Woop Woop. Woop Woop. a-Dude. a-Dude. "Yeah they're thick alright" (Dairy Queen commercial)

Also any subway commercial new or old is really getting tiring to watch.

And i hate Verizon's "Can you hear me now" one too.

I personally hate the Aflac commercials.

By law if they tell you the benefits of a drug, they must then list all the side effects and their severity. That turns a 15 second commerical into a 30 second commercial that costs a lot more to air and can scare some of your customers away. So they attempt to build in marketing tricks so they don't have to tell you what the pill does. Lets take that Nexium ad for example. They advertized for years what Prilosec does - almost everyone knows what it is for - and in those ads they always called it the purple pill. Now all they have to do is call Nexium the purple pill and the vast majority of us all know what it does (it is virtually identical to Prilosec, but Prilosec's patent ran out so they made a very minor change and snuck it through the patent office and renamed it Nexium) - and they get around the law of having to state all the side effects.

I like those Fedex commercials

Ones I don't like are the Subway commercials I guess. Jared just doesn't do anything to me.

"I have great news..."

"but I did save myself XXX in car insurance"


FVCK YOU! And I have Geico... but those are so annoying.
