I'm sick of commercials for that private cancer treatment center, where someone talks about their old doctor giving them a diagnosis while laughing in their face followed by the new place giving them angelic handjobs until they go into perfect remission and come back healthy as their grandchildren.

*Results not typical. Do not expect these results. In other words, pay us a ransom that Al-Qaeda would be embarrassed to ask for and maybe you won't waste away into a hideous, tortured mockery of a human being before dying in a pool of blood and cold piss. But don't count on it.

There is a commercial for an oncology center here in Tampa that looks like a loving cult. It has this creepy lighthouse on it and sullen voices.

Doesn't surprise me in the least, undoubtedly there's a strong business in separating the terminally ill from their hope money. I think the one I was referring to is the Cancer Treatment Centers of America or something, so it should be airing at least regionally around their multiple centers if not nationwide. Their patient stories all have the same emotional beats like I outlined (and exaggerated... somewhat) and the fine print is always the same: good loving luck getting results as fortunate as the people we signed for these ads, suckers!

The loudest commercial I've ever seen is one that (thankfully) hasn't been on in a few years. It starts with extremely loud stock metal/rock music and shows a bunch of random stock photos. There's never any talking or text in the commercial, just the loud music and pictures of happy looking people. At the end it finally has the name of the what it's advertising.

Sorta kinda is. Cancer Treatment Centers of America have a heavy religious component to their treatment. So if all the chemo and surgeries don't work, they will literally turn to you and say "Maybe just try praying really hard."

Isn't this really every commercial with testimonials? Exercising with this fantastic contraption and I was losing like a pound a day (results not typical). Doing this incredibly intense workout I not only lost a hundred pounds but now look like an underwear model (results not typical). This diet where you buy a poo poo ton of lovely food we say tastes great all from us at a remarkable markup will help you lose weight (results not typical). I lost a million pounds eating whatever the gently caress Taco Bell calls their bullshit healthy menu (results not typical). I became a slightly pudgy dude instead of a mountain of a man by eating Subway (results not typical).

To be fair, when I was at Memorial Sloan Kettering, the care was leagues and leagues ahead of literally any other hospital or medical center I have ever been in. Like, I've seen people hugging and thanking the parking attendants there. So basically every dedicated cancer center has to hold themselves up to that standard now, or find some way to make themselves that special.

It did? Well it was after some major change in the way they did food or some other big shakeup in the company then.

They changed the buns and the burgers were cooked differently and basically went from "tastes like a burger" to "congealed grease" so I stopped eating them.

If you pay attention you'll notice a lot of the same people in commercials. I always see That One Black Guy and That One Asian guy in commercials all the time, but my favorites are the ones that are doppelgangers of more famous people, like the Anne Hathaway one, or the Megan Mulally one.

What bugs me most about one State Farm commercial is the two dues in the car in the middle of a bunch of bison.

1) Why are they in the middle of a herd of bison?

2) Why does one of them say, "I can't believe we've never done this before."


Done what? Park your car in the middle of a road that inexplicably has a thousand bison on it?

I really can't stand the one where her and the husband are wearing pajamas like the original 1950s Dennis the menace's parents would wear (If I'm wrong about that it's still a horrible ad/sitcom thing to do) and the husband "catches" her taking some dry storebought cereal or granola bar that she apparently passes off as her own.

edit: Wendy's has been greasy for a very, very long time. It was just a matter of time till your dining experience there revealed as such.
