I can't be the only person annoyed by this so here goes. At the end of each Cialis commercial, the featured couple that needs some erection help is shown in separate side-by-side bathtubs, always outdoors in ridiculous settings: at the beach, in a field, near a cliff top, etc. Is this supposed to simulate sucessful sex, thanks to Cialis? This makes no sense at all to me. And if a commercial is confusing or worse annoying, hasn't it defeated the whole purpose of itself?

I do believe that they use outdoor bathtubs as a metaphor for sex in those commercials, yes.

If they were just more upfront with what the drug does I think they would sell more product. I mean c'mon, almost everyone knows Bob from those Enzyte commercials...
A couple are fooling around and it moves into the bedroom where it heats up, right before the sexual action happens they both stop, look disappointingly down the sheets and it goes to a black screen that asks, "Got Wood?"
Anybody... anybody? Just me?
:wlaugh

Dude.
That rules.
That rules.
If your 6-year-old asks you what "erectile" means after seeing the commercial, you can dissemble thusly:
"Daddy is remodeling the bathroom and needs to wreck the tiles, but it doesn't work.
Mommy gives him a pill that helps him wreck the tiles.
Daddy and Mommy are then very happy and hold hands."
"Daddy is remodeling the bathroom and needs to wreck the tiles, but it doesn't work.
Mommy gives him a pill that helps him wreck the tiles.
Daddy and Mommy are then very happy and hold hands."
"Got wood?" :laughing:
See, that would make sense: show the couple sharing an outdoor hottub, even in weird locations. But separate bathtubs? Exactly how does that conjure up the imagery of sex? They got punked by their ad company big time.

Yeah, it's pretty crappy. Like 50 and 60 year old men are gonna find these ads classy or stimulating.
"Cialis. If you have erectile dysfunction, this pill will help you maintain an erection at the timing of your choice at any point during a 36 hour period. Seek medical help, and a hooker if you have an erection lasting more than 4 hours."
Simple to the point, yes?

I think Robin Williams came up with the perfect name for these kinds of pills even if it wasn't his original intention for the joke bit...

That is awesome! Then again, so is Mr. Williams!
An ad for another "erectile dysfunction" medication showed a guy tossing a football through a tire-swing. As George Carlin once remarked, you don't have to be Fellini to figure that one out!

Levitra? Whatever happened to that stuff anyway? I haven't seen a Levitra ad in years.

Cialis should be a bathtub manufacturing company. "Cialis & Co."
Yeah... that sounds swanky-like.
Personally... if my husband were taking that, I'd want hot, dirty sex; not a bath on the beach.
Why aren't those tubs sinking into the sand?

But you can hint at it a little better than bathing in separate tubs! Even if they were bathing but both in one tub! That's way better!

Hmm, a pool might be nice, but if I'd just dropped an ED pill ("see, Alice"?) and had someone whom I really liked with me, I'd be more inclined toward a hotel presidential suite...

I do whatever I can to avoid commercials but I saw a commercial for Head On and all they did was repeat Head On for head aches and it was very annoying and because of that you remembered the product.That's the whole goal is for you to remember the product's commercial long enough to go to the grocery store,pick it up and buy it!
