Fuck you for contributing to the unethical practice of advertising pharmaceuticals lol, but it is an earworm, so congrats on being good at what you do. Just wish it was aimed at something not ****ty.

I definitely see the horrid corruption in the pharmaceutical industry. Those vultures make a killing at what they do. I was just having fun with a friend. It was a good day coming up with some jingles for other various regional sht and we came up with this.
He actually came up with some good stuff for regional radio ads for AC companies etc.
The crazy thing are the legalities of royalties. So many starving artists are ripped off.
So really I'm not part of the machine, just another person they used.
/being good at what you do/
It ain't my day job as you know, I'm in the apt biz. That was just a fling lol.

That's why a lot of these strikes happen in the entertainment industry. You thibk of it as everyone getting paid a **** ton, but even some minor celebrities are ****in broke, and get paid chickenshit. The majority don't make much money. Like i heard that the guy who played Zordon (the face) on Power Rangers got paid once for a few hundred or something, and didn't get royalties from the success of the show. That show was so cheap to make too because it's footage from a Japanese show.
Saban is a greedy ****ing bastard.
Kimiko Glenn who was one of the main people on OITNB doesn't get paid much.

Holy **** some of those commercials are very catchy, like this one. The people singing and dancing around, it makes it seem like it's fun to have bad skin!
But the ones you linked aren't really good. And I was used to seeing the one linked above for a long time, then they suddenly started playing the one where they were marketing it for people who **** themselves. There was just no way to make ****ting yourself seem fun, and the commercials were a real bummer.
The ones they play now are completely terrible. They should have stuck to the fun one I linked.
It's also weird because these commercials would almost always be immediately followed by the commercial where the short haired blonde woman and her "partner" Spencer, who was obviously her gay brother, would talk about how she had 12 UTI's in the last year or some nonsense, and he'd always cut his eyes at her and I'd say "nasty bitch" to express what he was thinking. That **** cracked me up. I'd do this every time the commercial was on, even when I wasn't watching or paying attention, I hear it in the background from other side of the house and yell that out at her.

Yes I was looking for that one!
It's better quality and the lyrics are more pronounced.
All these people in these ads are having a great time knowing that ONE drug is helping them to control their shids AND ward off unnecessary psoriasis attacks.
God forgive they both don't happen at the same time or Skyrizi may need an expansion pack drug for those special moments.
/It's also weird because these commercials would almost always be immediately followed by the commercial where the short haired blonde woman and her "partner" Spencer…../
Yes! I love these. "Hello, Im a stunningly beautiful woman but I want everyone to know that my vagina is rotten and I've had 100 UTIs in the past year.
But thankfully my PARTNER Spencer, after doing extensive testing on my vagina has helped us to come up with a formula…."
Makes you think. Who is this
partner
spencer? A gay like you say?, a brother?, Did he use his tougue to taste test her vagine's PH balance? Its so ambiguous.
Turns out in recent ads of this they voiced over and changed "partner" to husband…to make it less strange for certain markets.

I saw Richard Cheese at a festival a few years ago.
I looked them up on Wikipedia to check if it is who I saw and this ridiculously obvious statement made me laugh
As of 2015 the lineup of the Lounge Against the Machine band was:
Richard Cheese – vocals
Bobby Ricotta – piano, keyboards
Frank Feta – drums, percussion
Billy Bleu – upright bass, bass
The names are all pseudonyms that refer to types of cheese (ricotta, feta, bleu)
.
Gee, thanks for explaining that one to us all Wiki! -

Yes they are an interesting bunch of characters. I only knew Richard (Mark). I think I met Frank but he had a different name, unless they were using a different drummer at the time. :}
I've actually never been to one of their shows unfortunately.
