"Ask your doctor if Phuckettal is right for you today!"

No. The doctor should be telling me what I need; not me telling them what I want. It's not a fucking candy store. Not only do I hate the ads, I hate not knowing with certainty if I am being prescribed something because I need it or if the pharma company that makes the drug simply pays the doctor to prescribe it. 😬
