"You never know whenthe moment may be right"...with really smaltzy "romantic" music in the background...always a middle aged affluent married couple. Just once I would like to hear cheesy '70s porno jazz start playing, and see a scene taking place outsidethe acceptable marketingnorm. Anyone else have a dirty mind? Not so much for the dirtiness itself, but IMHO mocking the commercialization of sex is good for the soul.

(3,574 posts)The late great Marilyn Chambers crashing the set of these commercials to show us "Cialis - Behind the Green Door"! Or a gay couple doing the commercial. Never happen. Middle age Mercedes owners only, please.

Doc Holliday
(719 posts)Whenever the disclaimer part of the commercial comes on-- the part about "erections lasting four hours or longer..."-- she does her best Announcer Voice and says they should be rep[orted to the Pope so that they can be recorded as official miracles.
unionworks
(3,574 posts)...that lasts longer than 4 hours, the last thing I'll be looking for is a doctor...unless she's a "Nancy Nurse" type bad, naughty doctor.

The "Blue Enzyte" placebo commercials were even funnier!hh
mysuzuki2
(3,521 posts)Their entertainment value almost mnade up for the fact that Enzyte was a complete ripoff. Wasn't that company indicted for fraud or something?
unionworks
(3,574 posts)...they should get time off for redeeming social value making me laugh my ass off!
unionworks
(3,574 posts)O...too many, one very late summer night, I called the Enzyte order number, and asked them in my best "Borat" voice to send me "pills to give me bigger sexy feet" operator busted out laughing

(56,828 posts)it's even worse - every other advertisement is for a different testosterone supplement. ("I have a new zest for life!!!"
unionworks
(3,574 posts)I heard that before a real doctor starts you on testosterone supplement, they have to do a thourough screening for colon cancer, as the extra testosterone will accelerate the growth if it is already present

(23,051 posts)WHAT is the DEAL with the twin bathtubs?
Do they represent the soaking you're gonna get if you have to pay for those things out-of-pocket?
The damn tubs on the edge of a cliff!! WTH??
Imagine getting it on, just as a slight earth tremor starts, and you go sliding down over the cliff - how in the HELL will the erectile dysfunction pill help THEN, might I ask?
unionworks
(3,574 posts)...your stiffy might catch on a protruding rock on the way down.
unionworks
(3,574 posts)...the twin bathtubs at all. I mean, you just took horny pills and you'regoing to sit in seperate bathtubs in the midddle of the woods taking in scenery? Is the message that the sex had bby the 1% is beautiful and artistic, as opposed to the sex had by the rest of us which is vulgar and pornogrphic? It sure seems that way.

(13,324 posts)I imagine that most of the guys who actually use these drugs out of real necessity, are probably closer to Bob Dole's age (Dole circa late 90's anyway), and in less good shape than he is. But I guess the "ugly truth" wouldn't be so marketable.

(47,675 posts)...so what's the problem?
The only time that's really a problem is when you wake up at 3 in the morning with a kickstand and can't get back to sleep because of it. That's not even a sexual reference - it's just in the fucking way!!!
unionworks
(3,574 posts)An erection lasting that long could damage the blood flow caps to the penis, which means you might never be able to get it up again. That's enough to make me "stand up and take notice"
