Anyone else more than a little creeped out by 6 old guys sitting around playing their banjos and singing about Viagra?
(http://awfulcommercials.com/stills/viva-viagra.jpg)
It has to be one of the stupidest advertising campaigns of all time
Viva....viva....Viagraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
-
I can't stand it. Stupid stupid stupid.
-
Well, I bet their wives, girlfriends, and in this case sisters, really like the stuff. C'mon, they're playing banjo's for crying out loud...
-
Ditto. ******* idiotic. How bad off do you have to be when the only work you can get is to sit around and sing about how you can't get a boner. These guys must be pretty hard up.
Pun slighly intended. ;)

What's worse is the tune is catchy.... my son (9 yrs old) goes around singing the absent-mindedly after he hears it on the radio. I'm just glad he hasn't asked what it is.
I guess from an advertisers persepctive that makes it a good campaign - people remember the song and gosh forbid sing along with it!

Worst commercials and they're always on around supper time.
I like the variation where the old guy at the recording studio goes, "Hey guys, check this out...", and proceeds with his viva viagara song. Singing about boners is not cool. Singing about how you cannot get boners, so you take medication for it, to your friends, is equally uncool. I assume that's a private thing.
The guys in the abandoned roadhouse though, that's the ultimate in creepy I think... They all drove out there, met up, sang about boners, then the commercial ends with them all scattering in different directions... That's just creepy on a whole other level. Why'd they do that? Is it like a AA meeting, but for guys with ED? So it's EDA? And they're embarassed, "John" called everyone because he had something to share, they all got together, they sang the boner song, and then they all scatter for home before their wives find out the creepy **** they've been doing?
And all the while I'm just trying to eat leftover meatloaf, grossed out of my mind.
Those commercials suck.
Likewise, I cannot stand the shorter ones where the ******* lights all the floating stuff on the pool. F that overacheiving ******bag.

Are they singing the blues? (lame)
I ******* hate this commercial. It seemed like it was being played non-stop a couple weeks ago. I just hate that these pharma commercials are ******* epics that you have to sit through over and over again.
I love the pill for asthma, which lists "an increase in the risk of asthma-related death" as a possible side effect...priceless.
-
The one I really hate is the one where the Weird-Al rip-off sings:
I was shoppin' for a new car, which one's me?
A cool convertible or an SUV
Too bad I didn't know my credit was whack
'cause now I'm drivin' off the lot in a used sub-compact
F-R-E-E that spells FREE
Credit report dot com baby
Those viagra losers don't have **** on that kid.
-
I miss the girl on the Valtrex commercial saying "Having genital herpes is inconvenient..."
Yes.
Open sores on your hoo ha are a real bummer.

This one's my favorite of the three:
Well I married my dream girl
I married my dream girl
But she didn't tell me her credit was bad
So now instead of living in a pleasant suburb
We're living in the basement at her
Mom and dad's
No we can't get a loan for a respectible
Home just because my girl defaulted
On some old credit card
If we'd gone to free credit report dot com
I'd be a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard

When I clicked on this thread, I thought it would be about the new Coldplay album (Viva La Vida)...
Nevermind. :-[

Nothing but old man's junk in this thread......

The Herpes one! Oh I forgot that!
Every time I see that and the guy comes up behind the girl and she goes, "I have herpes..." I expect him to slowly pull away from her repulsed, like he didn't know she did. That'd make that commercial actually funny. If I was with someone and they said that stuff, you'd see a dust cloud in the shape of me running as you heard footstomps, a car door open and slam shut, and then screeching tires...
I don't mind the Free Credit Report ones actually. The kids sing them... Though I will admit, Tracy's is the best one. They don't air that, not often at least anyway, so I'm guessing they caught some **** over a commercial juding love over finances. :) It's sound advice to me, but what can I say, I'm douchey like that.
Man... Those herpes commercials. Maybe more gross than the viagra ones. I'm not sure. That's a close call there.

Good stuff Jesse! :) When the girl says "I have herpes" and the guy says "And I don't" now I'll picture him saying "So let's just keep it that way" and them him bolting............
As opposed to the Viagra commercials, I think the Enzyte ones with Smilin' Bob and his happy little wife are funny. :D

actually, what's really disgusting is that I'm sure that at least on some of them, the partner says "And I still don't."
As in...."I know I keep rolling the dice, but by golly the lovin' is just soooooooo good that I'm willing to take a chance. Thank you Valtrex!"

Or "I'm such a loser that I know the only lovin' I'm likely to score is off of this even bigger loser with open sores on her hoohah............" *

Me too.
Sadly, the Viagra song will still be better than anything on Viva La Vida.
-
Speaking of Coldplay and not crappy commercials, the new Album is pretty slick IMO I've been doing lots of driving lately for work and it has been in heavy rotation on the iPod

Confirmed.
It aired a couple of nights ago. Definitely "And I still don't."

I've finally listened to Viva La Vida several times over the last few days and I've come to the realization that I was, as I am with other things, a bit premature in saying that it would contain nothing that was better than the song from the Viagra commercial. Several songs are indeed better than "Viva Viagra," and on the whole, the album is a much more interesting listen than X&Y, which is what I was mostly basing my earlier snarky comments on.
However, none of the songs from either album are as good as the Chili's Baby Back Ribs song.
