Again with the annoying commercials!

There’s a newer iphone ad with two parents in their bedroom going over the new features of the phone with their two teenage kids listening in on them from the hallway. The features are supposed to be mistaken as sexual innuendo with the kids getting creeped out.
I found it much, much more creepy that the kids were trying to listen in on their parents bedroom.

I ordered Harry Dean Stanton from Temu, and they sent me “Matt McCoy”, an unmade bed who keeps showing up in little insurance commercials before YouTube vids. I simply gotta get an ad blocker.

New Kia commercial “you cant look away”- some dude backs away from his perfectly ordinary looking car, nearly causing several accidents.

Yeah, I kept watching it (even though Backwards Guy was stupid), because I wanted to know if they were going to announce an interest rate on that new Corolla.

In a reversal of the usual, we were watching an old “Closer” episode and look who shows up as the father of a kidnapped woman. “Hey! It’s that guy from the commercial! He really is an actor!”

FWIW I like the fake movie poster in his commercial. Looks like Steve McQueen circa Bullitt.

Blue Chew. Not people who need it (probably) but sexy young women who, I like my man better." So much annoying about these.
Nutrafol (sp?) Supposedly makes your hair grow. One woman says while holdind her toddler. That her hair didn’t thin while she was preggers, it was just gone. She had a lot of had a long hair for a woman who’d been bald several months ago. They show a bunch of still shots that are like after photos, but there afe never before shots
Some stair lift: Worried about falling. Here’s advice: just don’t fall. Assholes.

I was with you until this point. It’s not exactly like slipping and falling while going up or down the stairs is a choice someone made.

Yeah, ever since I got bifocals, and now cataract surgery, going down stairs is tricky. I always use the handrail. But if you want to call me an asshole, well, I don’t care.

AIUI, “Blue Chew” is just another delivery service for the little blue pills known as Viagra. So those annoying commercials are aimed at those who believe their partner needs it.

I think there is a perception among some men that using such products will make women think less of them. That’s surely what these commercials are trying to counter.

I mentioned this exact thing somewhere upthread. I think she says “it was literally gone”. I just feel sorry for the blonde lady who laments “I couldn’t even grow it past my shoulders” and later, “all my friends commented on it” (meaning her new. glorious hair). I think she might have peaked in high school.

Guy here.

I’m pretty sure the Smokin’ Hot Babe (SHB ™ ) spokespeople means these commercials are marketed at men. Men have this blind spot that they think all hot women are there for the taking. (Look at beer ads.) “If I buy this product, SHBs will be standing in line to feel the AWESOME POWER of my blue-enhanced manliness! Look out!” They never think that bathing and combing their hair and not acting like jerks works just as well, if not better. ED has nothing to do with it. Fact: women can’t tell you have ED just by looking at you.

And that’s not even getting into the implied “it makes it bigger, too!” BS, which some guys must be falling for.

And the fact these SHBs are positively purring about how the blue goo is doing wonders for their men means they don’t think less of them. Au contraire. If you buy this product, your lady will be purring, too!

Pre-emptively, there is nothing wrong with having ED. No one should be judged. But you should be talking to your doctor, not buying cut rate boner pills via mail-order because some SHB on a commercial during late night Law and Order reruns looked at the camera suggestively and told you to. As long as Republicans are in charge, ED meds will be covered under health care plans. :slight_smile:

I’m fairly certain that stair lifts are meant for people who just don’t have the length strength to go up or down stairs - e.g. someone who needs a walker just to get around. It’s not targeted at the Homer Simpsons and Peter Griffins of the world who would get one just because they’re that lazy.

I, not pro opinion, is that the Blue Chew ads are aimed at healthy young men who want to errm, perform above normal? If it picks up some who really are having medical issues, bonus. Though, as mentioned above they should speak with a doctor. Oh, and the background music sounds like porn music. Hate those commercials.

People using Blue Chew ( and other online services like Ro) do speak to a doctor , in a sense. An actual doctor reviews their medical info and writes a prescription , often for a compounded drug rather than one manufactured by a pharmaceutical company. And I’m sure Blue Chew etc just happen to own compounding pharmacies. To some extent, these are for people who don’t want to talk to a dr in person. Which might include people who don’t actually have a problem.

That makes sense. Separating the stupid from their money.

Because Viagra doesn’t work that way. A placebo will do just as well.

Correct. Bad knees, loss of balance, and thick glasses all can lead to a stair accident.

Right.

No, no, the commercial said “Just don’t fall,” they add “Ride.” Hubster and I both jeer at it every time. Hell, when I lived in a 2 story house I fell down the curving stair case reapetedly. I’m damn lucky I didn’t break anything. That’s why the commercial infuriates me so mucc. Grrr

Steps with poor traction, pets, iffy depth perception…

Yep, yep, yep and yep.

Fortunately my cats race me down the stairs- and they win by a lot.
