drug ads
Medicine television spots
Drug ads are advertisements for pharmaceutical products, particularly the direct-to-consumer television commercials common in the United States.
These ads typically feature upbeat imagery while a voiceover rapidly lists potential side effects: The drug ad showed couples dancing on the beach while warning about suicidal thoughts and rectal bleeding.
The format has become a cultural joke for its jarring tonal contrast.
