Over 16 years and this song still holds up.
We are both still hear pop
I'm here because my Medical Terminology class sent me 🤦🏽♀️🤣🤣🤣
The disclaimer 😂😮😅!
Going to ask my dr for progenitorivox 😂😊😅!
The only thing in this whole video that isnt relevant today is that batteries not included line.
This shit funny for those pill poppers that take them no matter what symptoms they get. It’s slow suicidal behavior 😂
You missed the point. It's not pill poppers' fault, it's a system that pushes people inside pill bottles
o h
I was 13 when I first started playing this song as a joke, and now it means so much more
Thanks to baby boomers
From Drugs I Need to The New Vaccine Still relevant.
One of my first favorite CZcams videos! Still holds up in 2022 :)
👎 then leave
I love the blurb at the end, "Do not resume sexual activity while operating heavy machinery..." LOL
Most states don't even make public doctor and other providers disciplinary records for the ones they sanctioned. For the ones they refuse to sanction, there won't be any record at all. This is terrible. Not all is medical treatments the most expensive in the US by a huge margin, the quality is pretty terrible compared to Europe or Japan.
Almost 15 years and this song is even more relevant then ever now.
CoronaVirus Vaccine??
Austin Lounge Lizards should get credit for the song.
If you've been a fan of the Lizards long enough, you know they get the credit. 🙂
Who's here again cuz of the COVID vaccine (;
Love this video i love muslims im from evergreen park not far from ridge. I really respect your religion
Should have credited the Austin Lounge Lizards for this. Here's the lyric: www.songlyrics.com/austin-lounge-lizards/the-drugs-i-need-lyrics/

Consumer reports advocacy 🌹🌷
12 years later and it's still relevant.
a free market would make health care affordable by having a healthy amount of competition and if tax payers werent paying hostpitals they would be forced to have reasonable pricing because noone can afford the ridiculouse prices for basic care.
proof that government benefits keep people from finding work....
wow so much like real life
What I don't understand is how do all these drug companies get away with all of this. They have a drug for allergies or hunger control for example and the side effects say could cause death. Most of their ads air during commercial breaks during the nightly news broadcasts.
How do they get away with it? Answer: $$$
@@GNXClone Ask yourself why even have a government agency responsible for ensuring drug safety standards if the companies just play it like a fiddle
@@moscanaveiaYou guys must be pretty young if you don't remember when drug manufacturers weren't even required to mention possible side effects. Consumer groups have come quite far with "protection" issues, especially considered whom they're up against and how much those companies spend on attorneys to keep them from having to admit their products are anything other than petfect.
Huh?
This is hilarious, brilliant
what are the odds of success, when I want to be able to be involved with any successful. When I am homeless!?
There was an advertisement on TV for an allergy drug who;s side effects included "coma and death". What is this drug?
I once saw a drug ad and the side effect list started with " fatigue and sudden death" I was like wow, that escalated quickly
There's an asthma medication that may increase the risk of fatal asthma attacks. Let that sink in for a bit. A medication designed to prevent &/or stop fatal asthma attacks, and one of its side effects is an increased chance of fatal asthma attacks. This drug is being hawked on TV. If ever there was a need for "You had ONE JOB!", this is it. The FDA needs to have its power restored, instead of being the toothless shadow of its former self, existing only as a depressed and disappointing rubber stamp. Frankly, if anyTHING is supposed to prevent something from happening, and it only increases the likelihood of that something happening, that thing should never have gotten that job! See also: the entire trump cabinet.
Everyone should note that it's not a given, if the asthma medication is affecting asthma stuff, it might have a negative reaction quite easily.
Thanks Obama... Thanks for nothing!
Get a call block in the meantime.
Signed. The best action is to not to buy it.
RIGHT ON!
I think it's wrong to vilify the tea party and libertarians.. not all are against all government regulation. especially in food matters, where eric schlosser points out, without proper food labeling including the prohibition of deception, there is no actual choice which is a tenet of individual freedoms. to the guy in the audience who said govm't regulation is the best thing that has ever happened to the country.. get a clue!!!

My own house happens to get its TV and Web services via Comcast, and rarely have they let my house down in terms of services not available over the air; of course, I cannot write for the majority of customers. I'm not surprised that Comcast is interested in purchasing the cable-service wing from Time Warner Communications Group; but didn't Congress throw some caltrops into this plan for sale a century ago, in the form of the Sherman Antitrust Act? Apparently, as much as the mega-railroad was the octopus of the turn of the 20th Century, the communications service provider is the octopus of today, and not just Stateside. As I understand things, the Trans-Pacific Partnership has, among other companies, Comcast representing the United States; and Congress has been snowballed by the Partnership. Not good - how is Congress supposed to write a Trans-Pacific Partnership Implementation Act if they haven't access to the proposed treaty?
Honesty, is anyone voting "Yes" to the #Comcast /#TimeWarner deal?
This is how you get shit done people! GOD bless us all!
It's just like AT&T trying to buy/merge with DISH TV and their stock is much higher than AT&T's, but when they & if that merger goes through DISH's stock is going to evidently drop been there done that! If all these mergers go through you won't be able to afford cable or the internet
