Why Do the Men In The Erectile Dysfunction Ads Creep Me Out?

What’s wrong with classic characters, like Humper the Rabbit?

I think part of it is that in many of the ads, the guy’s wife seems significantly younger. My husband and I have started doing mock voiceovers for some of the ads, stuff like, “Are you afraid your trophy wife will leave you if you’ve having trouble getting it up? Does she have a better lawyer than your first wife did? Then try (ED pill)…”

You left out the best part…

Christopher Walken …as he unbuttons what’s her face…

That’s got a serious creepster multiplier.

I seriously misread that also. “her face’s sweater”? Does she have another sweater over her torso? :smiley:

I thought the movie involved unbuttoning a face, too, and was glad it was not on my Must See list.

And I guess I’m alone in thinking the guys in the ads are cute. Sigh.

If those couples in the commercials are supposed to be having sex, why are they in separate bathtubs?

I’m a musician pushing 50, and I certainly am NOT going to be singing about boner pills with my buddies. “Viva Viagra!” (I can’t even listen to Viva Las Vegas with a straight face anymore.)

I don’t see anything wrong with a married guy randomly looking at his wife and thinking about sex. That seems like a very healthy relationship.

I’ve been married over 25 years and there’s little things my wife does that just drives me wild. Obviously most of the time we are just an old married couple watching tv. But something like putting lotion on her legs can really spark an interest in me. :smiley: I love that woman more and more as we get older. I’m a lucky guy and I know it.

I love the multiple bathtub ones, because I always picture what comes next as the bathtubs are never big enough for two people so you have two sixty years old trying to get comfortable in a bathtub which is next to impossible even if you don’t have joints that ache. I can definetly picture the guys back being hurt and coming close to being drowned. What would have to happen is both people having to get out of the bathtubs in which case they are cold and naked outside and if they try anything there sand would get everywhere.

it’s a biological response, you’ve caught the scent of a lesser stag in your nostrils

What I usually think during those commercials is of the woman turning around and saying “You don’t get to HAVE me!”

Poor guys. Having to plan that kind of thing out and then having it backfire.

Seems to me it all the young studs that are buying up all the boner pills. My last job before I retired it was a big black market item and the youngsters were the ones gobbling them up. Us old farts might only do it once but we make it last a long long time.

To me, the funniest attribute of the Viagra commercials is they’re filmed with a blue background - 1 of the infamous side fx of Viagra is bluish tinge to vision! When I 1st saw the commercial, I thought 'either this is the biggest boner in advertising history (pun intended :slight_smile: ) or they’re purposely mocking 1 of the reported fx, and that’s ballsy (pun intended again) ’

Yeah, they should feature Ed O’Neil and Sofia Vergara (Jay and Gloria Pritchett from “Modern Family”) in the ad!

The one redeeming thing about the ads, especially the ones where they show the lone wolf out in the world pursuing some hobby or other, is that at the end of the day the guy is going to what we assume is his home and not pulling up to some roadhouse or martini bar with a sly look on his face that says, “Come on erection lasting more than 4 hours!”

Enzyte Bob, on the other hand, is waaaay out creepy. But he’d be that if he was selling Earth Shoes.

They seem to go out of their way to find the skeeviest-looking guys they can, and then use makeup that makes them look like pervs.

I think because it seems like all that’s missing is the “bow-chica-wow-wow” music. Plus he’s all, mmm…baby, you make me wanna go and take a pill. Yeah.

At least Enzyte Bob was funny, in a surreal sort of way.

The Enzyte Bob commercials were awesome because they didn’t give a fuck. They weren’t going to pretend the advertisement was for anything else and not only that, they actively tried to make it as obvious as possible with not-so-subtle innuendos short of “This will make your dick hard!”

Yeah, that was the worst one. “Bro, you got a chubby? Let’s rock out with our cocks out!”

I think it’s the fact that these ads are about fucking. Sure, romance and intimacy are nice, but ultimately there is going to be some penis insertion going on and there isn’t a damn thing you can do to camouflage it.

It is a little disturbing how good looking and fit the couples are, though. They ought to have one with Paula Deen and her husband in it. Speaking of which, don’t you think they’d get more mileage out of a female spokesperson?

The most troublesome one to me is the one with the cute Black lady singing to herself. English professor/manager at work/husband sees her and has this look in his eye. Kind of like “You’ve just earned yourself a DICK ATTACK!!!” And of course, she’s like, “All I did was sing a song to myself in public… I’m sorry!”

This is the dialogue in my head.

there are no commercials for Viagra here

after having read this thread I am really really thankful for that :o
