Side effects may include death.
Sometimes these sideffects sound like a lineup at a punk/metal festival

Side effects may include death.
What if ads had to show side affects by law.
So like theres a guy with gut wrenching abdominal cramps audibly blowing liquid ass mulch into the toilet bowel while moaning painfully.
Scene cuts to he's smiling and cutting the grass in the front yard.
I'd rather they just ban the drug commercials. Talk to a doctor about medicine, and if you are unsure about what is determined, get a second opinion. Companies trying to sell their product directly to end users and ignoring the repercussions to the middlemen just causes more problems than the 9000 issues we already have in healthcare.
Absolutely this. Drug ads are a plague and need to stop.
"sometimes, you have to smell the atrocious to really understand the positive"
shitting in agony, crying, the bowl soaked in sweat and tears, their hand and legs quivering
"that's why FuckYourself Maximum Dosage really starts your day off by ruining it in some of the worst suffering we have seen in clinical trials. it's not a side effect, it's a main one!"
'oh fuck make it STOP AAAAGGGHHHHHHH'
"after pinpointing the issue, we then turned the concoction up to 11! now when you are finally able to pick yourself up off the floor and wash yourself of feces, you can enjoy the rest of your day knowing that it can only get better from here"
smelling a lush garden full of flowers baking in sun rays, eyes closed and smiling, as a burning 747 goes down in the distance, and the scene fades with a nuclear bomb exploding
"FuckYourself Maximum Dosage; ask your doctor if it's right for you. Or an ex. Or a bastard boss. Don't be shy, we will prescribe it to anyone!"

Fun fact... anal leakage's first big hit was not even pharma related. It was potato chips.
It's difficult to forget, I hear. Except my drugs cause hearing loss.
Is this something American I'm too British to have experienced? Also, I use adblock so I probability wouldn't see it anyway.
Actually this is not entirely true. It's anything that happened to any patient during any phase of testing. This is why so many "side effects" include death, because if you're doing an n=1000 study or whatever, SOMEONE is going to die, statistically, and you can't provably show that the drug you're testing didn't lead, at least in part, to that death. Good intentions with the reporting regulation, but not a good execution.
Yeah it’s banned in my country except for stuff like a pain relief balm
Yes, and me too. It's horrible stuff https://youtu.be/EQkAX_Gi-tM?feature=shared https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCVkLEuVBQd8LfJGeNOd4RqARRykgrhfA&feature=share

Ask your doctor if Abilify is right for you. (Side note, fuck Abilify. It's the worst med I've ever taken by a huge margin)
They are! Some of them even have good music (ouch, self jab). A lot of them fall squarely in the realm of non metalheads saying "this isn't music/this is just noise", a few of them are small scale bands, and a few of them are really iconic bands.
3 inches of Blood is very much the outlier genre-wise, it's power metal about DnD stuff.
Surprised to see you threw Anorexia Nervosa in there, I've never met anybody else who had listened to them, or even heard of em for that matter.
Hell yeah, Anorexia Nervosa was one of my favorite bands for a long time. Good tunes. I grew up in a town with a comparatively big metal scene, so I was pretty blessed with a lot of metal that I would have otherwise never heard. Honestly I wasn't too sure that anyone would recognize anything from that list outside of Neurosis or a few others. Hell, I wouldn't recognize some of them if I didn't write the list, and it's all from my own music library.
I cannot believe I get to post this in the year of our lord 2025, but:
Relevant YTMND!

I think the cut is at the 2:50 ish mark, but it's tough to tell. Definitely in the 2:45-3:10 ish area though.
I swear, drug companies' modus operandi solely revolves around coming up with side effects so awful that the original problem just doesn't seem as bad by comparison, despite the meds not actually helping it in any way.
Abilify made me unable to even consider anything beyond sleeping and eating.
God I hate the Jardiance commercials. I wish the writers a very die in a hole.
Thanks, I thought I'd gotten rid of that shitty ear worm but just a mention is all it took to bring it roaring back to life
Those always make me assume that somebody had that issue while in the trial, and it was easier to throw it on the list than figure out if it actually had any connection to the drug. Let the primary care docs read the literature if they want to make an educated guess. The patients will just joke about it but probably still ask for it.

I tried showing this to people at work. They didn't get it.
I don't know if I'd want to live in a world where people spontaneously break out into songs about their type 2 diabetes.
That's why I take Claridryl!

Thanks for the thought, but Piped isn't working all that great for many folks. I've had a lot better luck using regular YouTube links with the Grayjay app..
Darn, the world is getting shittier and shittier and I'm all out of Claridryl!
In case it is relevant to your case too, I'll mention I have this problem when I use them (or firefox) over my VPN's "normal" connections (yet YT over chromium still works), yet they all work fine over my VPN's "P2P-friendly" connections. I haven't had time to diagnose exactly why though...
You try and then realize its all the other people who mess it up, so you either remove yourself from society or try to destroy it to star anew. You know... the Thoreau vs Hitler dichotomy.
I always thought the generic nature of many of these ads are slightly strange. They'd show some smiling woman walking down a beach, hair blowing in a breeze. Then they start talking about a medicine for COPD, bipolar disorder, acid reflux or whatever. I guess the viewer is supposed to assume that the woman is afflicted with one of these maladies and now is relieved from it? To me it looks like stock footage of some random lady walking down a beach who had no clue she'd be in a ad for Prozac.
I just always imagine that those ads are the vivid hallucinations of a patient in a mental hospital.

Lyrics:
Pull the plug (x8)
I drove my truck into a moving van
It was all filled up with jet fuel and
I crashed right in and explosion
Smash through the window and ripped off my hands
Medical team drove up and found me
Bleeding in pieces picked up off the street
Drove me into a filthy hospital
Horror experienced financially
Woke up in pain in a gown in bed
Internal hemorrhaging inside my head
I really think that I should be dead
I saw the bill and then I cry bled
To keep me alive it is costing me
National deficit times three
There is no way to avoid this fee
Please pull the plug and kill me
It's costing too much
Pull the plug
It's costing too much
Pull the plug (x16)
Aneurysm
Botulism
Epilepsy
Narcolepsy
Pull the plug
Nearsighted
Breath lighted
Cataracts
Heart attacks
Pull the plug
Hepatitis
Bronchitis
Appendicitis
Arthritis
Pull the plug
Encephalitis
Adenitus
Mastoiditus
Capsulitus
Pull the plug now (x4)
Pay you my life instead of life support
Harvest my plasma because it's worth more
Take all my blood and my organs
Sell them to buyers over in third worlds
Burn my cadaver for some energy
Charge the patients in their misery
Such a strong quarter for the industry
Pharmaceutical fucking victory
Can't pay the price
Pull the plug
Pay with my life
Pull the plug
Say my farewell
Pull the plug
See you in hell
I'll fucking pull the plug
We ARE living in a pharmaceutical ad. Just the black and white bit at the beginning where everything hurts.
The unfortunate reality is most people would rather choose "Joy" pills rather than face the realities that are required to be faced if we want to fix everything.
Yes. I was dealing with some pretty rough depression a while back. I raw dogged that shit for months before I finally just fixed the bullshit I had subjected myself to.
I'll say this. If any of those people represented in the ad exist, they can afford the medication that's being sold by the ad.
Those are the people who buy the things that people say "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" about.
You all forget, there's legions of people who are wealthy, but not the ultra rich. They bring in millions of dollars a year. Far more than you or I possibly could, but they're not notable because they're part of the 1% and the 0.1% are much much worse.
What they don't get, is that their wealth is closer to the bottom 99% than the top 0.1%. they should be on our side, but they won't get involved because they're a bunch of fence sitting assholes that just do enough to keep up their lifestyle, but not so much that anyone notices.
