I wonder how many advertising executives.
There’s an ad for something called BetterSleep, an app I think, which promotes listening to their green, pink, and brown noise.
-
The line for the green noise is “feel your brain smoothing out.” WTF?! Isn’t “smooth brain” the latest insult for being exceedingly stupid? So they’re saying their green noise will make you stupid.
-
Brown noise? Brown noise?! I thought “brown noise” was a conspiracy theory that shady scientific researchers working with the military or intelligence services had found a frequency or series of noises or vibrations that would induce listeners to, umm, release their bowels. The idea being that the noise would be broadcast on large portable speakers to rioters, or protesters in the more conspiratorial versions, to disperse or neutralize them.
I totally hate the “Calm” ads, I think they are.
They make me sleepy…
oh wait…maybe they have something 
Do nothing? Not even breathe? 
I have seen the Bluechew commercials but wasn’t sure exactly what it was. Over the counter ED medicine? But no. It is a combination of the three major ED medicines in one. And it does require a doctor’s visit and prescription. So the women can’t exactly just buy some for their man.
There’s another ED product commercial that claims it even has that apo-morphine in it. How can that even be legal?
I don’t think that’s it
BlueChew offers a variety of plans to suit your needs. You can choose from Sildenafil chewables in 30 mg or 45 mg doses, Tadalafil chewables in 6 mg or 9 mg doses, Vardenafil chewables in 8 mg doses, and DailyTAD multivitamins with 9 mg of Tadalafil packed with seven essential vitamins. Plans start as low as $25 per month, plus shipping and handling. Check out our available plan options below.
They are compounded, chewable tablets which means they aren’t the same tablets you would get from CVS. And it doesn’t require a doctor visit - it requires a prescription which you can get through a televisit with an affiliated doctor. In fact, I suspect that Bluechew makes a fair amount of its money through arranging the doctor visit and providing prescriptions - they don’t make the tablets and you can get a prescription to bring to your own compaounding pharmacy.
Oh I don’t know. It could be his girlfriend. Maggie May is her name. She drives a Mercury Cougar.
Any commercial that says ‘deo’ instead of ‘deodorant’.
When I was in pre-pharmacy, we were talking about words we weren’t allowed to use in the house growing up, and another guy said, when I told him about ours, “I would rather DO the F word, than puke!” (My mother absolutely hates the word “puke.”)
Apomorphine is still used in veterinary medicine, to induce vomiting in animals that have swallowed poison. A smaller dose has been used in Parkinson’s treatment, and as a booster for ED meds. I’m not sure how all that works myself, beyond acting on the whole dopamine cascade, but it does for some people.
I’ve been getting one for some makeup product, for “when you need to look put together in a hurry”. Based on the model in the ads, apparently “put together” means “look like you’ve got grease smeared messily all over your face”, because that’s how she looks after she applies it.
Also, a whole large category of ads: Most of the ads I see are attached to webpages, and my web browser (and, I assume, most other browsers as well) automatically defaults to muting ads unless I specifically unmute them. Which, of course, I’m extremely unlikely to bother to do. And it seems like at least two thirds of the ads I see online, just don’t make any sense at all without the voiceover. Not just surrealist doesn’t-make-sense, but what-the-heck-is-that-product-and-what-is-it-for doesn’t make sense.
Apomorphine was also a clue in an Agatha Christie mystery.
There’s a stupid commercial for some stupid product (sorry I’m no help, I FF through it whenever I can) where some trump-administration-blonde woman, sitting in her car like she’s a modern influencer, goes on about her product. Aside from “I’m sitting in my car telling you this instead of…anywhere else” thing that I just hate, her accent is weirdly unidentifiable. it’s like she’s a native Serbian speaker that leaned English from someone with a German accent. Or maybe the whole thing is AI.
There is an ad for this defense weapon that shoots non-lethal pellets loaded with pepper spray. Sounds OK, maybe even useful (if we had some more details) but they coyly won’t show the product. They all walk around waving their bananas (no that’s not a euphemism. Real bananas) instead of showing it. And if you want to see what the Banana3000 defense weapon looks like, you have to go to their website. Except there is a less-common parallel commercial where they do show the product. it looks like an orange toy 9mm. While I might regret it, were I a crook trying to rob someone and they pointed that thing at me, I’d fall over laughing. I expect it to have suction cup tipped projectiles.
Byrna is the banana-gun company. With one of their ads beginning “With riots and violent looting going on all over the country, I don’t feel safe leaving the house without this banana.”
AARGH!
(1) Riots and looting all over the country is a Trumpist MAGA hard-right talking point unsupported in reality and meant to tar legitimate protesting (maybe in a few instances out of literally thousands of protests there was some vandalism).
(2) If there was actually rioting and looting, firing a couple of pellets at multiple pissed-off attackers ain’t gonna cut the mustard. The cops toss or fire significantly larger grenades full of more potent stuff.
It’s not really annoying, but it elicits wry laughter. There’s a Comcast commercial wherein a resident of Sussex County, DE is excited about the arrival of high-speed Internet service.
Sussex County, DE voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 elections.
Critics say that Trump’s changes to the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program will undermine rural internet efforts.
There’s some sort of fraud-protection commercial that claims that it is easy to figure out your SSN. The first three digits are based on your state of birth. The middle two, they say, are derived by adding 44 to your birth year. Um… no. I added 44 to my birth year, and neither digit of the sum appears in my ‘middle two’. It’s annoying because anyone who does a simple bit of arithmetic can see it’s bogus.
Totally wrong for my middle two or DH’s.
My husband had done some searches for electric bikes, so my tablet has been inundated with e-bike ads. There’s one that starts with a guy saying “If you’re getting older…” Um, if you’re not getting older, then you’re dead, right? 
Also, the first three digits of your SSN are not based on your state of birth, but on the location where you applied for your SSN. Or at least that was the original policy; I believe in later years that changed, particularly when they started assigning SSNs at birth.
Skinny Pop. I don’t have anything against Jennifer Anniston, but Skinny Pop is nasty. Celebrities should have to use whatever they’re advertising so they know what it’s really like. 
The grabby woman in the hair salon needs to keep her mitts off other people’s food. So rude!
I went to high school in Sussex County. There’s a reason why I don’t want to live there now. The Apple Scrapple Festival seems cool, but that didn’t start until after I was out of high school.
