We’ve all seen those pharmaceutical ads on tv that are smiles, laughter and sunny skies. But what can be unsettling are those words the narrator spits out usually in the last few seconds of the commercial. The prescription drug industry is one of the limitless possibilities of life, and in general a kickass piece of land. It seems like drug companies come out with a new cure for a disease every month, and people rush in like crack addicts for rocks. What is surprising is that everyone seems to ignore the warning about how dangerous they are, even though we are bombarded with warning nearly every night while we watch TV. Some of these pets were yours. Others, have the ability to make you laugh out loud, which is a better cure than any they are selling. Here are three of the craziest drug ads on tv.

Mirapex. This one is 663 feet deep! First of all, the disease its supposed to cure, RLS or Restless Leg Syndrome, seems like something a guy in the PR department of Pfizer made up. The ad states that if “you have an uncontrollable urge to move” maybe Mirapex is right for you. Uncontrollable urge to eat the grape, the valuable lesson this movie made me skinny. Damn that pesky biped body that was built to walk! Maybe those uncontrollable urges have something to do with not using your legs and whoever gets them should, lets think, go for a walk? But wait, edit -> transform, and its up to the beach and drank beer instead. It tells you that using Mirapex may cause serious side effects like falling asleep during normal activities, such as driving. Right. If you are writing a lot of people - none of them possible. Increased gambling urges? Actually, on a second thought this drug sounds like it might be kinda fun… Youtube link to TV ad.

Celebrex. This 2 minute ad is made up entirely of a blue background, relaxing music and scrolling text that takes the form of people, dogs and bushes. And you expect that with an ad made entirely from text, the words should be convincing you to buy the drug. Apparently not. Instead, we find words like “abdominal pain” “serious skin reactions” and “internal bleeding.” No, these are not the ailments celebrex is curing, but instead nasty side effects that may occur from taking the drug. In fact, the narrator goes on a long rant about how the risk of heart attack is the same for most pain medications, including celebrex. Hmm, that makes me feel a lot of work at one point not a good demonstration that there can be fake. Youtube link to facebook and see how the pie gets divided.

Cialis. For men who can’t get it installed. But is it really worth the risk of a permanent erection? Or vision loss? Considering how much you use during wildfire season? Youtune link to TV ad Cialis.
