I thought I was losing my mind when I heard Run The Jewels in a fucking SUV commercial (sans lyrics though).

That’s because it was DJ Shadow (who did the music) selling out, not Run The Jewels.

Still crazy to me. I've been a DJ Shadow fan since the 90s.

I saw Tony Hawk in an ad for arthritis medication a while back. I turned to my dad and said “I cannot understate how cool this guy used to be.”

“I cannot understate how cool this guy used to be.”
I can: Tony Hawk was just a little cool. There, understated, 🎵 doing everything I can 🎵.

“Hearing a beloved song used in a late stage capitalism commercial for prescription drugs may cause moderate to severe emitional damage. If ear bleeding continues, call your doctor.”

Technotronic got their name by combining the word “techno” meaning a sort of dance music, and “tronic” meaning “tronic”.

tronic” meaning “tronic”
No, “tronic” means somebody addicted to '80s animated movies.

I like it when those commercials says to tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Pretty sure the ones who have it don’t know it lol.
Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You never know. I knew a dude who kept a tick on him to see how big it got. Folks fuck animals. Wouldn’t surprise me if someone has parasite and kept it for some looney toons reason.

What frustrates me is that it doesn’t have to be this way. They could just start using better original music. Consider what Game Grumps and Sbassbear did for Lipitor.
Meanwhile, they’re also responsible for the best cover of Sandstorm.

Still find it weird you guys have adverts on tv for medication.
Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I went to a hotel and watched cable recently and it’s, no joke, 85%+ drug commercials. Just endless ads with disgusting side effects read over happy images.
Apytele@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
There’s basically two side effect profiles:
It makes you fat, sleepy, confused, constipated / diarrhea / both, and your genitals stop working, but possibly in a different way than your usual everyday hell so maybe it’ll be a little better?
It only has one side effect that only happens 0.00001% of the time: instant horrifyingly painful death.
Zink@programming.dev 2 months ago
Even living in the US (but being on Lemmy and therefore knowing computers and hating advertising) getting stuck watching cable TV at a relative’s house can be a real “boring dystopia” experience.
It can be genuinely disturbing when you realize the majority of the ads you’ve seen were for ONLY medication and gambling.

It’s fucking wild that seeing a car commercial is refreshing in that it’s just an actual product.
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Why do you even advertise to in the UK if you want to sell your new med? 🤔 Is there like a specific person sitting in the NHS whose job it is to scout for new drugs?
saltesc@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You just rock up and say, “I need something for this” and they give it to you. Otherwise a doctor prescribes it. And it’s cheap.
Companies will advertise approved drugs to medical boards to be distributed down to doctors. So medical professionals decide what the best options are. There’s no taking drugs just because it was on TV.
Considering Americans lag behind the developed world in life expectancy and general health, I think it’s safe to say the drug industry is only there to make money and it certainly causes harm, ironically.

You mean prescription medication? I saw in Europe they still have tons of advertisements for OTC medication and a lot of them are snake oil.
Technoworcester@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Prescription yes. OTC is more lax but (from what I have seen soay of course be wrong) still more tightly controlled than in the USA.
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There are radio ads too. Every single one is either “buy a car”, “You have low-T and need to come get shots to be a Real Man™”, or “Buy these boner pills for your sad limp dick”
