Let's start with the terrible lyrics. The first line sounds like "I have touchy diabetes" because "type 2 diabetes" doesn't work well with the given rhythm. (Who in real life claims to have "TYPEtwo" diabetes? Usually the "two" is singled out and given a bit of emphasis.) The end of the song claims that the pill "has a sto-RY to tell." A sto-RY? What's that? Then - should we even bother to ask what the changing of the dress is all about, especially when the 2nd one looks so ridiculous? Also, SHE CAN'T DANCE!! I mean, my god, she REALLY CAN'T DANCE!!! Who, and more importantly, WHY, is that mailman? Also, just the whole "meta" concept of this thing is inane. We're essentially watching a commercial about the filming of a Jardiance commercial. But why? And what does Jardiance have to do with any of this? Except that supposedly the Woman With Two Dresses seems to have "touchy [sic] diabetes"? (But as she's really only the actress in the ad being filmed, she probably doesn't.) Ugh.

Boink Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 It almost sounds like she's bragging about having diabetes, because now she gets to use JARDIANCE!, as she proclaims, extending her arms as if to praise the heavens. So now she (and her background singers) can enjoy being overweight. And then there's that yellow dress !!!! thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockey Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I’m captivated by that damn Jardiance commercial. I can’t look away. It’s like a Disney production. What bugs me is that Diabetes is a serious condition and the commercial doesn’t treat it that way. Ugh. This country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloKyle Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I just saw this commercial today. I'd gladly scrub his body for him all over. 🚿 + purplekow, samhexum and + poolboy48220 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was moonlighting as a delivery driver. You'd think Flo would've made an appearance at the accident site, but she was nowhere to be found. Flo had a recurring part as a friend of the wife on American Housewife for the last several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly annoying about that commercial is the opening line to the lyrics, "I have a little diabetes". Easily could have been "I have Type 2 diabetes" and been more accurate and not change the pacing. samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ purplekow Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) There is a commercial in which Vivica A Fox is in a low cut dress and it is shot from the waist up and is just her standing there speaking. If you watch her cleavage, which you are almost compelled to do, it appears that the breasts are speaking. While I know the breast are on display on purpose, I am wondering if the ventriloquist breasts are planned or just a very strange accident. It becomes more obvious as the commercial goes on.

To me it comes off as a glitzy diversion from the voiceover and print warnings of the numerous, possibly fatal side effects. samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him first. Apparently he is a TikTok star, or influencer, or whatever they're called these days. His name is Daniel Victor. He is in a dead heat tie with my other crush...

(But I can hear why you think otherwise.) Either way, it lends to the cheery mood of the commercial set in a land where diabetes is shown as just a pesky inconvenience.

Reminds me of one ongoing tagline for one of the diseases - "I have diabetes (or whatever disease), but diabetes doesn't have me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
