Thanks for the mental image Dawn

This thread reminds me of a story Billy Connolly used to tell many years ago about an advert for Preparation H (pile cream) he saw in the States.

The ad opens with a chap at the disco holding his forehead and looking uncomfortable. His wife pipes up "What's the matter George? Hemorrhoids bothering you again?"
It switches to the product shot and the sales pitch and then returns to the disco with George giving it some John Travolta on the dance floor

I know that sketch

And as an aside - I'm going to see Billy Connolly in October

Lucky soandso.

I've seen him twice, he's even funnier when you see him live. My face was aching from laughing after both shows.

The increase in these useless health ads reminds me of the US, which isn't good....I remember when I was over there once, we were driving back late at night and there was some sort of love/romance show on.

The presenter, who had a really soft, caring voice, had just solved someone's life and suddenly came the adverts: "have YOU got PILES??"

US medical adverts are insane. The length and number of disclaimers at the end of them seems to increase every time I go out there.

Lol. My favourite is the one that says 'the most sophisticated technology you will ever pee on' - what other technology are you likely to pee on?!!
