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.

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

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.

Waterston_Fan · 03-16-2009, 08:21 PM

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.

MickeyMac · 03-16-2009, 09:27 PM

LOOOOOOL

Well, turns out all these things cause cancer, diabetes, prostate problems, and heart disease.

I don't care, still no need for depressing commercials

JamesG · 03-16-2009, 10:08 PM

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

There you go.

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.
