Funny Stuff Does this commercial make anyone else laugh? - Page 3

**Rain Man** · 08-18-2007, 12:29 AM

There's a commercial on now for a new medical pill. It's called Aciphex. They talk a lot about Aciphex, and then they talk about the side effects and other features of Aciphex.

Aciphex. Say it fast. How did that name get through the focus groups? It sounds more like a side effect than a treatment.

Yeah, but my little insight on the acid thing was still novel.

Kind of like musing that Orangade might be pronounced Ooh-ranG-ay-day.

You mean it's not pronounced that way?

Is that something they celebrate at Mile High Stadium?

I thought they pronounced it the other way on the commercial.

Only the off brands that are made from orangutans.

Yeah, they sunk all their profits into trying to create a catchphrase where you made a 'right turn Clyde' to stop in for a cool refreshing Ooh-ranG-ay-day.

**Rain Man** · 04-30-2008, 01:08 PM

This actually makes me wonder how many orangutans get caught up in agricultural machinery. I bet we eat more orangutan than we think.

No, these days the orangutan commodities are pledged to getting sprayed on greasy New Jersey Guidos so they can clock all the hotties.
MoF, I think that's how orangutans got their name, it's German for 'self-tanning spray that turns you orange.'

Why am I mentally picturing Forest Gump saying this?

Yeah, you're right, it's pronounced "ass-effects". I laugh whenever I see this commercial.

Sheesh, I think I should just delete my original post. People, I admitted that I was wrong in post 18. Please read the whole thread before replaying.

Not to run with Rainman....

Doctor: I think you need some Ass-FX.

Patient: What....you can tune it? How 'bout some asstones?
