If it was t for these commercials, mainstream media would not exist. It’s literally 75% of their advertisers. Take these commercials out and they don’t have any legit advertisers

It reminds me of the junk mail situation with the postal service - without junk mail, the US post office would be out of business

Maybe that’s because the drugs and advertising are working.

How many different medications are necessary for plaque psoriasis?? I swear it seems like there’s at least a dozen different ones? Is it really that big of a public health crisis to warrant this many different drugs to treat it? I don’t think I know even a single person who has it.


One time a lady at Chipotle was making my burrito and had a pretty bad flair up. After seeing that, I’m all for these ads.

Big Pharma provides 40% of the revenue to MSM so they can control the narrative. They Don;t really need to advertise because they have the doctors in their pocket also.

Obscene. WTF are they spending billions in advertising drugs? Started about 4-5 years ago and is now non-stop.

Remember, they're not advertising to get customers to buy their products. These products have to be prescribed. They are advertising to control the media with the money that they spend.

Seriously I forget the name of the drug, but there is a drug that treats eczema that has potentially fatal side effects. You’d have to be a dummy to take that drug.

Toss up between them & insurance commercials


At least Geico and All State commercials can occasionally be entertaining. I want to rip out the Liberty Mutual peoples balls off being sick of their shite.

Gotta have those insurance commercials with emu's and Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid and that fricking lizard.....so as to help fund the PI lawyers telling you to get into wrecks so as to fund them.....so they can afford the Ozempic, Wegovy and Monjourno for their slightly overweight wives, and husky kids and to keep the girlfriends happy.

It's a whole circle of life thing

Your tax dollars help kids get fat then they are lifelong customers to pharma companies.

Umm the 90s and early 2000s saw hundreds of millions poured into the opioid ad campaign.

This isn’t new.

To me they are better than the adult diaper and feminine hygiene commercials.
