Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 20, 2020

We have a new pill. You have a need for it?

A lot of those pharmaceutical names must be put together with random Scrabble tile draws…..

No, there are a lot of sick people in this country. Mask up please.

Yes the election IS OVER.

I thought a plus side to quarantine would be chance to get stuff done around here. Sort and clear some rubble. But, I just turned into a lazy butt, tv binge watcher. Dang!

These pharmaceutical commercials help make a lot of money for the drug companies. And reading the list of side effects has put a lot of money in the pockets of John Moschitta Jr.

Medicare ads are on more often than pharmaceutical ads. Ignoring its historical meaning can’t wait for December 7.

Ask your doctor if new Damitol® is right for you! (Disclaimer – watching this commercial may cause brain cancer, instant death, liver failure, hammer toes and tooth decay)

Let me get this straight. Pharmaceutical companies have been moving Heaven and Earth to come up with covid vaccines in record time, and you still want to bash them ?!? It’s hard to think of an industry that’s done so much good but been so reviled.

It’s not over until the fat guy gets hauled off to prison. It’s a shame our Country has gotten to this point.

Do other nations show incessant TV advertisements for medicines like in the U.S.?

The election is not over til Trump says it is…and that can be four more years. lol

I’ve come to tears and adopted cats, dogs and a tiger cub. Updated my Medicare 3 times since Joe Namath told me it was “FREE!”.

When I actually listen to the pharmaceutical disclaimers two things stand out. ’Don’t take it if you’re allergic to it’. How do you know? The side effects are worse than the affliction.

Oh, and the toenail meds take 9 months to work. Won’t it just grow out by then?

For elections lasting more than 4 weeks, consult your doctor.

I gave up watching legacy ‘TV’ (OTA and cable) decades ago, never really found anything worth watching. Same for the ‘news’ network too channels. Now, with internet streaming, that’s a horse of a different color, so to speak. At least you can pick and choose what you want to watch, when you want to watch it, and without commercials, too, for the most part, that is.

Don’t have those in Canada. Rather stay sick than risk all the side effects they mention

While I understand, it’s “choosing what you want to watch” that’s dividing us.

what I learned is all the medicines for problems I have never heard of.

Right on both counts

yeah, I’m always more afraid of the rolling list of side effects!

I’d like to know WHO these stupid pill commercials are trying to market to? Do they seriously expect the viewer to “Ask your Doctor about…” What a waste of time, money, and, well, thank goodness someone invented the MUTE button.

Only in America are these stupid drug commercials even foisted on people. 20 seconds telling them how GREAT the drug is, 30 seconds telling people it will kill you in a thousand awful ways and 10 seconds reminding the marks that the new drug is really wonderful. Thank the lord we don’t get them here so we can just turn to another channel.

I thought Arlo was talking about all the people with covid.

When they find a cure for stupid, all will be well….

Amen!

Nope.

and if you have trouble paying for your prescription, (insert relevant big pharm company name here) may be able to help you pay to stay on whatever chemicals you’ve been convinced you should be on, because really, we’re all just a bunch of legalized drug pushers.

I’ve discovered I (apparently) need drugs for diseases I never even knew existed.

Better tell that to old what’s his name.

..or the Medicare commercials!
