Especially at the 3-sec mark. How many people pull their hair in a melodramatic way to make their point? Anybody?

Marc,
Are you aware that this is the exact same ad but with different actors that has been running for nearly 30 years in NYC. Maybe the old version played elsewhere, too. In NYC market they've been showing the re-shot ad (your video) for about a year now. It has the exact same dialogue, the exact same inflections in the actors' readings, the exact same situations, EXACTLY the same in every respect, except they replaced the actors. I've never seen that done with an ad before.

I can quote you the entire commercial 'cause I've been hearing it nearly daily for 30 years. Oie!

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

I have no idea what those commercials are trying to say.

I adore that ad.

Liam has been amazed by the outrageous number of American TV drug ads with all their deliterious side effects that air nightly. They don't do that in Australia.

And as Webby said, the side effects would seem to outweigh the benefit ot the drug.

I shocked and amused my roommate at the same time when I started laughing at one of the potential side effects for both Cialis and Viagra.

When she asked me what was so funny, I explained to her that if I had an erection that lasted four hours, I'm not the only one who'd need a doctor!

The ads that yank my crank are those stupid Free Credit Report dot com commercials.

This is a Japanese moving company TV ad. Everybody says "I hate this".

Me too. These three annoy me.
