    How slow did i say first

  2. mko says:

    You know, in some countries medicine commercials are illegal

    • buh says:

      In Canada, they are illegal.

      But wait, we get American channels!

      (head explodes)

      *Head explosions are one reported side effect of the heartburn medication. If you experience head pain, suicidal thoughts, or rectal bleeding, please contact your doctor immediately as this may indicate a rare but potentially serious side effect.

  3. Yakov Smirnoff says:

    In Mother Russia, medicine commercials watch you!

  4. EpicFerrets says:

    Gotta love how often the side effects are worse than the condition the pill is supposed to be fixing!

    • DeafFish says:

      Oh yeah, especially funny if the side effects include “death”. I once read that on a medicine box, so yeah…

      • Girlysprite says:

        But do keep in mind that often, the really bad side effect chances of occurring are very small.

      • thestashattacked says:

        Unless you’re me, and the doctor puts you on anti-depressants to deal with a chronic depression-unrelated problem. Then you get every side effect on the box.

  5. buck the falls says:

    This has to be the 90th graph like this already.

  6. Sakurain says:

    In the UK they don’t say the side effects on the ads. As far as I know.

    • Crittervet says:

      How do you know if there’s a slight chance you’ll get anal leakage then?!? :O

    • Nic says:

      We don’t have these ads in the UK. When we feel run down, we go to sleep. When we feel depressed, we visit friends or drink booze.

      We do NOT go running to our pharmacologists and our phsycologists the moment our team loses or we sit in traffic.

      But it is catching on. Maybe there will be a drug to stop society becoming dependent on placebos.

  7. rhastaravel says:

    How side effects sound, blalblablladeathoccuringwithdoomblabla*speedsupevenmore*andwearenotresponsibleforyoumissingchildren

  8. QD says:

    Slowest part: “four hour erection”

  9. Ayla says:

    THAT’S fast?! go to youtube and search for resolved debate documentary. yeah.

  10. thestashattacked says:

    So basically when we studied this in my law class we discovered the reason the drug companies list the side effects so quickly is because the FDA and FCC require them to list side effects if the commercial tells you what the drug does. They can tell you the name, but not what it does without listing the side effects as well.

  11. whatsiteverwas says:

    This really would work better as a pie chart. You probably should have used how how much time is taken up by each portion as your y-value, not the speed of talking. Yes, the talking is fast at the end… but that’s not point you’re trying to make.
