45. Why do hate it?
Sat Aug 12, 2023, 10:41 PM
Aug 2023

The lyrics are just plain corny..."Jardiance is really swell...a little pill with a big story to tell!"

Who in hell uses the word "swell"anymore? I think the word went out sometime in 1950s or 60s along with "hep cat" and "beatnik" and "groovy"

Its total doggerel verse...forced, contrived and trivial

She looks at the sky and waves her arm and hand like the sun is shining for the first time ever and Jesus is making coming back on a cloud of gold....all over a pill

The woman is seriously overweight.. and while I don't mean to fat shame her..she should not be wiggling and dancing like a lean and trim woman ten years younger.

But here's the rub.. If people like the spot, the agency will assure the client they did a great job and should continue advertising..if people say they hate it the agency will say that is also good since people are paying attention!

Someone told me a long time ago, the broadcast industry lives and dies on bullshit.and this is a perfect example of it..
