You forgot Brain Constipation
Fun fact... anal leakage's first big hit was not even pharma related. It was potato chips.
I think you forgot the anal leakage.
It's difficult to forget, I hear. Except my drugs cause hearing loss.
Is this something American I'm too British to have experienced? Also, I use adblock so I probability wouldn't see it anyway.
The have to include any and all side effects that testing showed.
In other news, it's straight retarded to allow pharmaceutical advertising. But here we are.
Yeah it’s banned in my country except for stuff like a pain relief balm

Ask your doctor if Abilify is right for you. (Side note, fuck Abilify. It's the worst med I've ever taken by a huge margin)
are those all band names?
They are! Some of them even have good music (ouch, self jab). A lot of them fall squarely in the realm of non metalheads saying "this isn't music/this is just noise", a few of them are small scale bands, and a few of them are really iconic bands.
3 inches of Blood is very much the outlier genre-wise, it's power metal about DnD stuff.
Surprised to see you threw Anorexia Nervosa in there, I've never met anybody else who had listened to them, or even heard of em for that matter.
Hell yeah, Anorexia Nervosa was one of my favorite bands for a long time. Good tunes. I grew up in a town with a comparatively big metal scene, so I was pretty blessed with a lot of metal that I would have otherwise never heard. Honestly I wasn't too sure that anyone would recognize anything from that list outside of Neurosis or a few others. Hell, I wouldn't recognize some of them if I didn't write the list, and it's all from my own music library.
Fleshgod, Gorod, Katatonia, and Spawn of Possession immediately stood out to me, among the others, but I was legit just surprised to have seen an Anorexia Nervosa mention up there.

"Tell your doctor that you want your insurance company to give us piles of money to fuck you up."
I swear, drug companies' modus operandi solely revolves around coming up with side effects so awful that the original problem just doesn't seem as bad by comparison, despite the meds not actually helping it in any way.
Abilify made me unable to even consider anything beyond sleeping and eating.
What is it supposed to cure?
Typically depression and other mood stuff associated with bipolar.
Unedited footage of a Bear
I tried showing this to people at work. They didn't get it.
I recently overheard one that was "fatal infection of the skin of the perineum." I thought might be one of the worst ways to go out.
God I hate the Jardiance commercials. I wish the writers a very die in a hole.
Thanks, I thought I'd gotten rid of that shitty ear worm but just a mention is all it took to bring it roaring back to life
Farxiga
Not just your normal fun kind of fatal infection, but the necrotizing fasciitis kind of fun
WTF? That's worse than whatever it's claiming to cure.

I don't know if I'd want to live in a world where people spontaneously break out into songs about their type 2 diabetes.
That's why I take Claridryl!

Thanks for the thought, but Piped isn't working all that great for many folks. I've had a lot better luck using regular YouTube links with the Grayjay app..
Holy shit, I love unedited footage of a bear!
THIS IS MY SERMON THIS IS MY SERMON THIS IS MY SERMON
Darn, the world is getting shittier and shittier and I'm all out of Claridryl!
In case it is relevant to your case too, I'll mention I have this problem when I use them (or firefox) over my VPN's "normal" connections (yet YT over chromium still works), yet they all work fine over my VPN's "P2P-friendly" connections. I haven't had time to diagnose exactly why though...
Beat me to it.
I always say this: ads exist in a parallel dimensions where problems are nonexistent. What minor problems there are can be solved trivially in less than 30 seconds.
I always thought the generic nature of many of these ads are slightly strange. They'd show some smiling woman walking down a beach, hair blowing in a breeze. Then they start talking about a medicine for COPD, bipolar disorder, acid reflux or whatever. I guess the viewer is supposed to assume that the woman is afflicted with one of these maladies and now is relieved from it? To me it looks like stock footage of some random lady walking down a beach who had no clue she'd be in a ad for Prozac.
You can certainly aspire to those things, some of them are rather easy to accomplish.

I just always imagine that those ads are the vivid hallucinations of a patient in a mental hospital.
There are no side effects, just happy accidents

Lyrics:

Pull the plug (x8)
I drove my truck into a moving van
It was all filled up with jet fuel and
I crashed right in and explosion
Smash through the window and ripped off my hands
Medical team drove up and found me
Bleeding in pieces picked up off the street
Drove me into a filthy hospital
Horror experienced financially
Woke up in pain in a gown in bed
Internal hemorrhaging inside my head
I really think that I should be dead
I saw the bill and then I cry bled
To keep me alive it is costing me
National deficit times three
There is no way to avoid this fee
Please pull the plug and kill me
It's costing too much
Pull the plug
It's costing too much
Pull the plug (x16)
Aneurysm
Botulism
Epilepsy
Narcolepsy
Pull the plug
Nearsighted
Breath lighted
Cataracts
Heart attacks
Pull the plug
Hepatitis
Bronchitis
Appendicitis
Arthritis
Pull the plug
Encephalitis
Adenitus
Mastoiditus
Capsulitus
Pull the plug now (x4)
Pay you my life instead of life support
Harvest my plasma because it's worth more
Take all my blood and my organs
Sell them to buyers over in third worlds
Burn my cadaver for some energy
Charge the patients in their misery
Such a strong quarter for the industry
Pharmaceutical fucking victory
Can't pay the price
Pull the plug
Pay with my life
Pull the plug
Say my farewell
Pull the plug
See you in hell
I'll fucking pull the plug
