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

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ask your doctor if Lipafedatorapraxazol is for you.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 8 points 8 months ago

All this to treat my seasonal allergies? I'll take death, thanks.

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

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".

[–] Techmaster@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] TacoNissan@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] Bashnagdul@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Most 1st world countries even.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Actually, some 1st world countries such as for example Denmark, don't allow ads for prescription medications at all. Which is the correct way.

[–] Bashnagdul@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

That's what I said most 1 st countries don't allow for drug ads.

[–] PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Except that in the actual commercial, they are in separate bathtubs lol.

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

It's like 1950s television - they push the two tubs together to fuck.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Because jesus

[–] Stunning@lemmy.zip 41 points 8 months ago

Commercial always play with volume FULL BLAST talking about dick pills while the young family is just trying to enjoy a show.

[–] dipshit@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Talk to your doctor!

Use as directed

~side effects my include loose or wet stools, dizziness, painful constipation, insomnia, rapid heartrate, weak bowel syndrome, joint pains, headaches, an impending sense of doom, sudden interest in nickleback..~

[–] PrefersAwkward@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

If death occurs, please dial 911 immediately as this is a sign of a very rare and serious symptom

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I recently took cialis recreationally (no ED) on weekend get away with my SO. I gotta say it was actually pretty fucking cool. I’m usually pretty pill adverse. But ya, I’d do it again.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

What's the benefit if you don't have ED?

My friend with no ED said he took a Viagra and it burst the skin of his penis. No fucking thank you on that, man!

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Your friend either hasn't told you the entire story or is lying. Viagra, Cialis, and other ED meds won't cause your penis to burst - human blood pressure is insufficient to pop a penis like a balloon. What may have happened is a penile fracture, where the outer sheath of erectile tissue tears in response to physical injury. Typical drivers of penile fracture are situations that cause the erect penis to bend forcefully, such as falling on an erection.

Taking ED meds without ED will just result in a very firm erection that will likely persist awhile after ejaculation.

[–] doctorn@r.nf 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I would disagree as I have torn my skin without meds once even. I did not burst any bloodvessils, but at one point in my life it kinda went harder than ever before, rupturing my outer skin on the shaft and on the gland... It was no fun sight as it healed while peeling.

If that can happen without any meds, I can surely believe it can on.

I am circumcised btw.

[–] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Might be due to too tight circumcision tbh.

[–] doctorn@r.nf 2 points 8 months ago

Well, not sure what you mean by that, but I think that wouldn't rip the whole shaft's skin, nor the exposed gland...

I shedded like a snake... 😅

[–] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 3 points 8 months ago

Wouldn't it be possible to tear the foreskin if you're uncut and have a severe case of phimosis?

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world -2 points 8 months ago

It's what the dick craves

[–] Mrderisant@midwest.social 4 points 8 months ago

I'm thinking about getting something like that. No ed just unreliable

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I read the title quickly and thought it said Calais and was slightly confused lol

[–] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 1 points 8 months ago

If you remove the palm tree the rest is pretty accurate.

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I slammed my Benis in the car door

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Why would you go doin a thing like that?

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Side effects may include spontaneous dancing, necromancy, chanting to old gods, and a mild case of death

[–] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today -1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I do not understand the bathtub, which seems strange because I'm not the type most would call innocent.

EDIT: It appears to be a reference to a TV commercial. Gross, you people watch advertisements?
