I see these way too much during The Price Is Right myself (mainly the Wilford Brimley & Hoverround ones), so I know what you mean.

Not to mention so many of them are disgusting and air during the dinner hour (like the uncontrolable bladder ones). If some of them don't make you lose your appetite, I don't know what will. puke:

I always make my 2 1/2 year old nephew laugh with my Wilford Brimley impression - "CHECK IT! CHECK IT OFTEN!" :rofl:

I can't understand why Spike TV shows so many birth control commercials at 10 in the morning. Then they show one for natural male enhancement right after it-lol

I agree medical commercials can be depressing. Usually when I'm watching tv and it goes to commercial I try not to pay attention to the commercials.

I'd like them to get rid of those and the lawyer commercials. I bet those people will be suckers for lawsuits and go broke.

Ha, well maybe we should purchase these drugs being advertised and then we won't be depressed about it.:D

I agree. I hate those commercials too. They show the clogged arteries, and how a clot escapes, and heads for your heart or brain. I hate those illustrations. There were never this many medical commercials before. Now, there's no getting away from them.

I don't like the new version of the JOLLY GREEN GIANT commercial.


That was a classic commercial and now it sounds like a R&B song in 2009-lol

It has gotten a little tiresome seeing them. They have all sorts of ones now, I've seen one many times with some lady talking about reusing catheters. Who would want to see a commercial like that? It's gross.

And the side effects or what may happen to you if you take these drugs is ridiculous. Hey my arthritis is better, but now I'm going blind, I have blood clots, tuberculous and cancer.

I happen to disagree with you and Janice. I think some of these medical
commercials are very informing and I think the public has a right to be
informed. I also have not yet lost my appetite watching these commercials
and that has never been a problem with me. Solomon, you always seem to
find something to whine or complain about.

well they don't have to be RAN numerous times, and I don't want to keep seeing cancer commercials while watching tv which gets depressing

It's not whining or complaining. Chit Chat is the place where members get to discuss what they love or hate.

Yeah, but James, there are also commercials for meds for depression, too. MAD-tv's parody of the Zoloft commercial was HILARIOUS!!
