Commercials may have finally hit rock bottom

Not that I have sympathy for ectoparasites, but I find the new Simparica ad revolting.

It’s an oral med given to dogs to prevent flea, tick and worm (including heartworm) infestations. The ad shows a heroic dog running an agility course full of parasite obstacles. After slaloming through a line of giant fleas, the dog blasts through enormous ticks (which explode) and for a finale, gets gobbled up by a gigantic intestinal worm but successfully navigates through its bowels. Victory!

Here’s Scout in action.

Oh. Me too. I actually use that for the dogs. But that ad is just gross.

Remember the Raid commercial were bugs looked like they were crawling on the TV screen. Yucked me out more that once.

They have that. Venus shavers

Yeah, the part where the worm’s innard spew out as it deflates is a bit much.

I admit, this appeals to my warped sense of humor, too. In fact, I’m tempted to take it a step further up the embarrassment scale.

How about sticking a label on an air-horn placed conspicuously in the bathroom with the product name, Man Growa treatment for men with small penises. When one of the men at your fancy dinner party excuses himself to the bathroom, explain the joke to the other guests, then wait for the toot. I believe the guy will climb out the window, rather than face the jeering guests.

No chance; they only chase assholes…

Is that what that was? I thought she was shooting practice balls for Wimbledon…

( And lets not forget Lume Deodorant. Because your cooter, your junk and all your brown eyes… stink and draw flies… )

How about the ads that pop up on streaming services for Hims. Nothing like trying to watch a movie with the nephew and niece and having to sit through an ad for weak boners and premature ejaculation. Good times all around!

I’d rather see that than this weirdness about hairy balls.

Consider the future resume of the character on the lower right.

Not a good career progression. Not at all.

Yep, I’ve seen better left testicles, than him …

I haven’t seen those commercials in the wild and had to look them up. I find them hilarious. I’m not sure why.

:rofl: :rofl:

Because you’re watching them with the expectation that they are little comedic short films. If you had to watch them every 8 minutes in an hour long streaming TV show, you wouldn’t be laughing.

I suppose. That’s how I feel about Balance of Nature. I read that BoN isn’t supposed to be able to advertise anymore. Someone forgot to tell them. At least the “boys” commercials try to be funny. BoN is just boring, repetitive snake oil pitching.

Actually, according to your logic you do need deodorant on your crotch. My disfunction is that why is this suddenly a problem now and not 130 years ago when deodorant was invented?

Because the makers/inventors of Lume decided it was and other deodorant manufacturers are following suit. Simple.

We make fun of the stair lift commercial that says the answer to falling is to: “Just not fall.” Hubster has taken many problematic falls. Neither of us ever thought that he should: “Just Not Fall.” :roll_eyes: Who knew?

They have ads for the treatment of Peyronie’s syndrome, which is one thing I’m grateful I cannot get.

I first heard of it in the late 1990s, when I worked at a low-income health clinic that had a lot of recent Bosnian-refugee immigrants as patients. The men ALWAYS had this regardless of age, evidence of torture.

The bent carrot is just too wrong.

What is you get Dupuytren’s Contracture and Peyronie disease at the same time?

No luck at all.
