better than a rash on the taint any day’

No thank you I’ll pass.

Don’t forget the number one side effect death

“Don’t take Glozubala if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients.” But how would you know until you try it?

And another side effect of this medicine is that you may develop the urge to jaywalk.

Bleeb, don’t take any of that stuff . . . and keep searching, little alien dude.

Hysterical barking! (˃̵ᴗ˂̵) … That’s a good one!

Green Plaid Alert! … everybody do a shot! It’s Tahitian Treat Thursday

That dude looks intrigued.

Moldy armpits and feet smelling like cheese? Roquefort anyone?

LOLOLOL!

The problem with most of these drug commercials, and this is going back for at least 15 years, is that they almost never say what ailment they are for or what they actually treat. I see a commercial for some medication and wonder what it was that medication treated. Some newer commercials are getting better at telling you what they treat, but there are still some that don’t. For those drugs that don’t tell you what they treat, my best guess is that if your doctor has not already prescribed it, you don’t need it.

Take two aspirin and call me in the morning!!

Sounds safer than other drugs I see in commercials.

Yeah, we’ve all done this one, but great example!

But there’s no headache or vomiting involved right?

Reaction to the drug is worse than what it cures.

Hey, I need that. I’m off to walmart now. Wish me luck.

Monoclonal antibodies in search of a disease.

Glozubala….available on a flea market near you!

Do not take Glozubala if you are allergic to it (always love that line)

One time my head swelled to six times its normal size altogether.

This is what I have been looking for. A drug that will promote my nose hair growth. I want it now.

Do NOT sniff his feet, Bleeb! :)

I don’t have a problem with a swollen head, but I suffer from those side effects. Do you have something for that?

John, title this one, “The absolute truth”…(good one)

Spot on Mr. McPherson!

If the side effect list is longer than my arm … thanks, but no thanks!

My favorite side-effect is compulsive gambling.

It seems like over the last couple of years or so, all these medications for all these certain ailments have just come out of the woodwork! I know I’m extremely healthy (by God’s grace), but WOW!! I know everyone’s not in good a shape as me especially at my age, but I think that many Americans should start looking into better health. The Chinese have always been saying how unhealthy our diets are!

I liked it better when they couldn’t advertise prescription drugs and could do cigarettes. The Marlboro commercials had some incredible scenery.

i got all those side effects already

if my feet smelled like cheese, i’d be the king of putting my foot in my mouth

This one is indeed close to home!

Do not take Glozubala if you’re allergic to it.
