Chantix commercial - biggest set of disclaimers ever

He'll find out soon enough.

 

As a one-time 11-year-old boy, I'm pretty sure he's had one at some point. It's not hard to explain to him, at the very least, that sometimes it just doesn't go away.

Hell, you could turn that into plenty of horror stories. "Remember that four-hour erection? It might happen if you don't clear the table."

 

That's 80 percent of the year for me.

 

They tell you to bring an extra pair of clothes to work in case you shart. No lie.

 

I've learned more about Cialis thanks to watching the PGA Tour each weekend. Cialis, luxury lead sleds and mutual funds ... clearly the PGA is not targeting my 34-year-old ass.

 

It does, but anyone doing clinical trials has to report everything that happens to a patient while on the drug. So if your patients happens to catch the flu while taking Chantix, you note that flu is a side effect.

The problem with drugs like this, too, is if you quit them too early or too quickly, you go fucking crazy. My dad took Wellbutrin when quitting smoking, and he decided he was through, and stopped taking the meds. Trust me: bad idea.

 

Reminds me of MadTv's "Ecstasy."

 

Super Happy Fun ball thinks the commercial is too long. Which means you'd better start running because Super Happy Fun ball is angry now and is either about to emit toxic fumes or explode.

 

I wish we could go back to banning drug commercials on TV for a variety of reasons. No matter what the drug is for they make you think soon you'll be kayaking, canoeing, throwing spirals through a tire swing, figure skating or sitting in separate bathtubs with your significant other watching a sun set. They add on billions of dollars (figure at least tens of millions unnecessary) to health care costs, seem to seek out people to convince them something is wrong with them, let alone cause side effects that seem to be worse than the actual problem.
The anti-depression ones are the worst. Heard one that was for people who are already taking an anti-depressant who experience suicidal thoughts as a side-effect. So you take this drug to battle the side-effects of another drug? Just plain strange.

 

What always amuses me when when a side effect of a drug is one of the things the drug is meant to treat or similar. It would be like a drug for hemophiliacs that has a side effect of causing nosebleeds.
