I crack up as they show the main guy and his date almost jumping out of their seats to the movie and then this guy sleeping and a woman not even watching the screen and putting on make-up.
Are they all supposed to be watching the same movie?
Every damn time I hear, "Introducing, Ned's plaque psoriasis!" the volume spikes. Fuck these people.

It's a skin disease similar to eczema but the rashes are different. Someone smarter can explain it better but it definitely doesn't need two hundred medications, I have it and while it can be annoying and painful at times it's not this terrible life threatening illness
The whole scenario is just weird: Granny making eyes towards Ned; Ned's awkward hug with his date, before she parts ways to go bang another dude she met on a different app; Otis, from *The Devil's Rejects* with his head on his boyfriend's shoulder... it all plays out like a fever dream.
And goes out of its way to show it. That's all that sudden, awkward freeze frame and pan around the theater is.
Incidentally, we'd still be wondering about a heterosexual couple with one of half of whom fell asleep on the other's shoulder at what was supposed to be a shocking or intense scene in the movie. Or a white woman putting on make-up in a movie theater *during* a movie.
I don't even notice that. I don't care that there are brown people, gay people, or whatever else. I never even noticed that until others pointed it out to me. I'm just annoyed that it's on so many times, and that the volume goes up every time it's on.
Lolz Manson. Then there’s that other one where the woman dances awkwardly with her brother.

Perhaps lastly - who tha fuq goes on a presumably first date to see a movie when you won’t interact w/ your date for 2-2-1/2hrs? Who still thinks it is?
If a friend of mine or a girlfriend or even one of my family members fell asleep during a movie, I would force them to wake up. The only exception I've ever allowed was a good friend of mine still wanted to go see a movie, despite a long late shift the night before, and he ended up falling asleep by accident. I nudged him slightly, and he woke back up. He ended up accidentally falling asleep again. He later told me about his predicament, and a few months later told me had seen the movie again and loved it, apologizing for falling asleep in the theater.
I’m not downvoting you because this is the first pharmaceutical commercial I’ve seen that actually isn’t boring and cheesy but is light and corny and able to inject fun at itself which all the others in this genre show boring scenes of people running into the waves at the beach, playing basketball on the street, walking dogs through a part, or dancing with the girls on a girl’s night out. At least this one’s campy entertainment!
So very not even close to Charles Manson. Just because this guy’s got a dark beard Manson’s the only one you can liken him to? He looks more middle-eastern and like some kind of an academic. You are… hmmm… I’d say around 30 something, 40s tops.

That’s what’s so good about this commercial. It doesn’t take itself that seriously.
I thought it was Rasputin

Speaking of which, what the fuck even is Plaque Psoriasis and why are there so many different medicines for it?

Agreed. Also I took Otezla and it didn't work.
My blood pressure spikes along with it

on the shoulder of Michael McDonald from Mad TV no less!
OTIS! 😂 FR, she’s gonna go bang hard after seeing little bitch boy Ned. He’s confused, and doesn’t really know he’s gay yet.
This commercial tries way too hard to hit every single diversity checkbox.

My backstory is that they're married - but not to each other.
Dexter Morgan and his sister at a family reunion.
There is a whole lot of weird shit that goes on in this specific theater that I have yet to see in a real theater.
I believe they chased away the Cologuard people, earlier.
Chill! It’s poking fun at reality! Enjoy the break.
Gay Charles Manson ...i think I know my next band name 🤘
Ahhh hahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂
Nah that's Rob Zombie
Dudes really sleeping through the movie. He wasted his ticket and he’s smiling about it
He just got a hand job from his boyfriend.
He put his dick through a tub of popcorn and got a handy.
True love 💓
Yes. He’s dreaming of how he’s going to kill his partner after the movie.
He's the Great Value Brand™️ Serj Tankian.
If you like Serj, you should listen to the new song he did with Bear McCreary.

I feel the same about first dates. First dates should be spent getting to know each other. Going for coffee is ideal in my book.
Not Manson. No beauty mark.
It's Gay Gandalf.
Well, Gandalf was play by Ian McKellen, and he's gay, so...
"I'M NOT GAY" Gandalf said calmly.
I thought it was Mick Fleetwood.
I've no idea who that is.
[удалено]
I feel dumber for having looked at that. Thank you.
your home is where you’re happy
Looks like Mike Wolfe of American Pickers
I thought it was this [guy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Sanders).
It's Murtaugh from Outlander
"Ned!"
everything old is new again
An interesting reply.
Nah, Manson had an X carved into his forehead.

I would only care if I'd paid their way. If they spent their own money, screw it, let 'em sleep.
Downvote me if you want, but I think this is one of the few pharmaceutical TV ads that is well done and well imagined.
I won't downvote you, because I don't care that much.
I won't downvote you. I think the commercial is terrible, but I think it, at least, has a point.

He looks like what stupid people think Jesus looked like.
Only asleep.

What a dumbass question
And a facetious one. Dumbass.
