Hey Cialis, We Get it Already. And Vagisil, You Can Stop Too.

Recently, I’ve noticed that when these 3 elements combine, they form the most uncomfortable TV commercial since Viagra’s warnings to seniors about erections lasting longer than 4 hours:

1. Cialis logo

2. Old people playing with each other’s hair and that funky

3. Watered-down porno music

And Vagisil, you’re not really doing so hot yourself with your ads.

“For that embarrassing itch you just can’t scratch.”

I was sitting on my couch, unawkwardly with my date. But thanks to you, Vagisil, there is now an uneasy silence and I’m going to walk to the fridge and offer a fresh beer, even though we’re only two sips into this one. Thanks.

Maybe if we’re lucky, Valtrex will roll on  next. Because that one makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I saw a story yesterday that there’s a push to force Viagra commercials into the > 10 p.m. time slot, to avoid showing them during times when children watch TV.

And suddenly I feel a distinct yearning for the childhood safety net that once guarded me from commercials about nursing home rendezvous.

    Hahah.. this is a good question. It should just say, "Got an itch you can't scratch?... YOU'RE GROSS!"

    "That itch you can't scratch.... That smell you can't stand... Vagisil. By far the most unneeded and disgusting commercial ever created. Is that really supposed to appeal to some women? If so... is it admitting that they don't take showers nearly as often? Or do some women just have "Wild Turkeyed" (That's the one smell that just trumps all others) vaginae all the time?
