  • what the fuck

  • 00:52 Dog barks

  • The characters, the dog, the mountains, the bike, everything is LITERALLY made out of fine print.

    Ironic in every sense of the word.

  • Honestly, I think they just animated a running dog and for whatever reason did it that way. I doubt they had a real dog with hip dysplasia as a model. But, yeah...I agree with most...the ad's such a joke. Almost as good as the potentially lethal drugs that'll at least stop your legs from being so restless! *_*

  • This ad is really an IQ test. Only an idiot would take this stuff.

  • Just seen the US ad on TV and could not stop laughing. 80% of the ad was how this drug can kill you but will help you move better at the same time , Hehehehehehehehehehe

  • The benefits outweigh the risks? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!

    The risk is death, the benefit is relief from arthritis.

  • What kind of commercial is this?

    "For CERTAIN patients, celebrex's benefits, outweigh the risks"

    WHAT?

    whenever this used to come on I would freak out at how long it was

  • go to a holistic doctor!

  • By far, the best sucide pills on the market

  • So what i get from this comercial is health wise

    Serial killer > Celebrex

  • I hate seeing these stupid commercials everyday. Am I the only one who thinks that advertising drugs on television is morally questionable?

  • @Zoowey07 Yes! TV advertising is only allowed in 2 countries worldwide - The US and New Zealand. US consumes 50% of the world's drugs and drug sales increased 250% in the first three years of tv drug advertising. Celebrex and other big pharma drugs explains why the US is now down the list to 49th in mortality rates. 48 countries live longer.

  • @ScarlettDuchess what the heck are you talking about? I live in Canada and they advertise on TV.

  • @ontariobuds Direct To Consumer advertising - wikipedia > "US terrestrial broadcasters and some US cable broadcasters that have access to the Canadian market via Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulation have effectively overridden Canada's laws that forbid DTC with respect to the transmission of these ads into the Canadian market via these broadcasters. The CRTC has not evicted these broadcasters from access to the Canadian market."

  • @Zoowey07 I agree with you 500%. They are making people afraid to go to the doctor and marketing medicine like it is candy. It is out of control. If those people went to a chiropractor and a holistic doctor (someone who prescribes nutrition and vitamins and minerals and herbs), they would most likely not need that medicine or any medicine inn the first place.

  • LOL who the hell would take this ??!! 

  • when i first saw this commercial was like will this ever end!

  • I don't want any money from a pharmaceutical company or whatever. But I recorded the guitar music back in the day of 1997. Its not a tape trick and was not intended for hypnosis. How the tape got into their hands I do not know. Interesting effect in when the chords make a change. I was seventeen years old when I recorded the guitar. I used my ex girlfriends guitar, a PZM microphone which I placed in a wood box for acoustics, a reverb pedal, and an AIWA stereo.

    not crazy I really made this!

  • This ad uses hypnosis-tape techniques, in which calming, but mildly discordant music and grammatical errors distract a listener with sound-peculiarities from content that might be resisted, which passes into the less-attentively guarded mind. This ad's message is based on the liability-disclaimer, and so substitutes inappropriate tone-of-voice for grammatical errors, like using affirmative tones for weak assertions like "benefits outweigh the risks."

    Very sleazy.

  • Celebrex. Because we haven't killed anyone yet.

  • This is so twisted. Showing all these happy subliminal messages while saying in a soothing voice how much this drug will kill you. But what did I really expect from pharmaceutical companies and the FDA...

  • the only thing i like about this ad is the music

  • The people who are writing the negative comments are ignorant...until you have had cronic pain, you need to shut up. I think it is very wise to list the risk of any medicine and the risk does not happen to everyone. I have been taking this medicine for over 2 weeks and I have severe arthritis and I must admit I have taken other medicine in the past for this condition and nothing has worked, but Celebrex has greatly helped me. Do your research and stop making ignorant comments.

  • @muttons123

    Marijuana > celebrex

  • Not only is this commercial long as shit, but all I ever hear in it is "May cause death"

    Most medicine commercials say that their product "may result in fainting" or something like that. You'd have to be in severe pain to want to play Russian Roulette with this drug.

  • My mom has taken this drug for years and swears by it. Sometimes death would be preferred than deal with horrible arthritis pain.

  • Celebrex killed my Dad. Understand the risks. See the benefits --- IF YOU LIVE!! -- He was only 58, no heart issues, etc. I'm sure his doctor got a free lunch buffet or some benefit, unlike the benefit of my twins ever seeing their Grandpa.

    The FDA has never taken it off the market. So much for the $1,000,000+ my Dad's business paid in federal tax helping him out.

    May cause death should be "in some patients, does cause death."

  • I remember when this was always on... drove me INSANE.

  • "It may cause death" repeated throughout the commercial doesn't make me want your product.

  • @Sammy770662 the new commercials are not as "cynical"

  • I love that this ad is uncut HAHAH, im so scared to buy it now.

  • what the fuck....... I just took a couple of these cause I broke my arm.... im gonna die! lmao

  • I feel reassured, now. Take it and you might die... or maybe not...

  • Fuck these pills, legalize (and tax) pot!

  • LOL, ever time this commercial comes on, I go make popcorn. I *HATE* this commercial.

  • hahahahh

  • The FDA requires all these NSAID pain relievers, including CELEBREX,

    to have the same cardiovascular warning.

  • I was reading time magazine recently. I counted 37 pages dedicated to prescription drug ads...37! These drug commercials are getting longer and contain more and more information. The drug companies own television now, and it's only going to get worse.

  • wtf

  • "It does not matter if you die from this drug. The benefits outweigh the risks."

  • I burst out with laughter every time I see this commercial.

  • The actual commercial is 30 seconds, and the disclaimers are 3 minutes!

  • Medical marijuana is legitimate pain relief.

  • im currently doing research for my final project on medical marijuana n this commercial is perfect for proving my point that medicines currently approved by the FDA are WORST n have more side effects than mj could ever have

  • @asdfxcxv best kind out there

  • "watching this commercial, may increase chance of death."

  • *yawns*  ♔ ♔

  • What song is this?

  • i'd rather smoke a joint.

  • It's time for real calls.

  • I remember my friend and I were watching TV at his place, and this AD came on... it just went on and on... we were like "Wow, that ad was insane"...

  • do you have arthiritis? Take this medicine. But if your a human being, you will probably die of heart attack, stroke, or some other horrible thing. Please dont check with your doctor to make sure celebrex is right for you

  • so just who would qualify to take this med? who is the "ideal" patient???

  • Have arthritis? Take our drug!

    Side effects:

    Heart attack

    Stroke

    Skin reaction

    Ulcer

    Death

    Death

    Death

    Cure your arthritis now!

  • Do you guys listen to what the commercials say at all? Because if you did, you'd realize that it actually is a very good commercial. It basically tells you that all the medications like Celebrex do all this bad shit, but Celebrex does it the least. Assuming all of this is true, it means that your best bet is Celebrex. Which means the people with Arthritis would take it as opposed to the competition.

  • There fraud is so powerful they basically tell you how much of a complete fraud there toxic pills are right in your face and you still the believe them!

  • the music is great ....

  • I thought it was just me that noticed how ill the music was. good ear.

  • sooooooooooo long... not very convincing,

    Shamwow and Slap chop are better commercials :)

  • this ISN'T convincing?! haha wow... you have some brain problems man

  • ya its a different ad thats for sure

  • It would be great to see one of these stik people (after baking a pie or sitting in ski chalet), clutch chest & roll on the floor in agony? Thats an ad Id like to see!

    "Street drugs" seem better bet than big Pharma!

  • I always think its an infomercial it runs so long whenever I see it at home I mute the tv or change the channel. they really must have messed up if they have to run an ad like this.

  • I feel sad now.

    :(

    Good thing I don't take Celebrex!

    It doesn't seem they're really trying to sell the product.

    Which is what I thought commercials were suppossed to do.

    "It may kill you, but your arthritis may be relieved at least a little before you do!"

  • i love this commercial so much

  • Does anyone know what the name of that song is?

  • God, this commercail is so sad and annoying, they start playing this commercial after my grandmother died, and I didn't want to hear about death all the time. I wish there was death to these commercials.

  • Why do they put that guitar music behind this? Is that supposed to make us believe all this? Does it make this add more convincing?? Why is it in BLUE?? wha??

  • I have rheumatoid arthritis, and I asked my Rheumatologist about Celebrex after I saw this commercial and he prescribed it to me.

    I've been on it since November of last year and the benefits do out weigh the risks.

    Sorry that the 2 minutes and 29 seconds of this video was such an imposition on your lives.

  • This commercial is so fucking long its disgusting. Sometimes I feel like sending a letter to Celebrex telling them that there is no fucking need for a commercial that lasts over 2 minutes and basically takes up the whole commercial break. They should just make a TV show about this crap.

  • i hate it when this show comes on its boring

  • At :36 seconds note this imagery:

    A paragraph describing all of these awful side effects is written on the side of a fence. A man picks up a paintbrush and literally WHITEWASHES over it. So blatant it's bizarre.

  • this freaked me out. i'll stick to my old methods of relaxing :)

  • Are you retarded? He picks up the paintbrush at 0:36, then does a brush stroke at 0:39 and it DISPLAYS the side effects? He didn't whitewash OVER it, jackass.

  • Hahaha for SOME people, the benefits outweigh the risks.

  • Wait

    Whats the benefits? I only heard stuff about me DYING.

  • This commercial was designed by a clever hypnotist. I'm convinced of it. Every time I see it I fall into a trance.....must get Celebrex.....must get Celebrex....must not worry about risk of heart attack, stroke or stomach problems.....must get Celebrex....riding bikes is fun.....

  • What is the name of the song in the ad?

  • I doubt that's a real song...and can't imagine why you would want that

  • Comment removed

  • I feel like I'm gonna drop dead just from looking at the damn bottle.

  • Check out my video "Advidryl Yearly", it's a parody of this commercial plus other medicines.

  • While I'm sure a lot of the side effects and interactions are real, I don't know that this is a legitimate ad from the company. How many of you have EVER seen a 2.5-minute comercial? They are maybe 30 seconds long at most.

  • I actually saw another version of this commercial (same graphics, same words, slightly different order of information) and came online to see if someone had posted it, because I thought the amount of side effects was hillarious. So yeah, it's legit even if it is really long :P

  • Just saw it on tv lmao

  • I love how extremely dangerous and heavy duty drugs have a calm voice and peaceful music to it when describing absolutely horrible side-effects. Ahh, the joys of medicine in a capitalistic society.

  • True, but better than medicine in a country with socialized medicine (like mine). Here medicine is still decades behind, because there are no incentives for improvement. Access to healthcare is incredibily difficult and slow, or so incredibly expensive it becomes prohibitive.

  • This commercial is the mark of the beast unveiled. Don't u c itz trying to radicate itz victims with death, DEATH!!! Hey, i think itz the right pill for those CULTS that commit suicide cus of some bullshit they believe in. I'm terrified of this ad. What do u think about the new celebrex ad????

  • This is such bullshit. Who would buy this unless they were deeper? This isnt a commercial, its like a public service announcement on how DANGEROUS this shit is.

  • A lot of people are shameless in what they advertise for. This commercial shows that pharmaceutical companies are no exception.

  • lol "for certain patients, celebrex' benefits outweigh its risks"

  • ....Unbelievable.

  • Does anybody know what this song is

  • No but this is the mark of the beast creeping up on the weak and preying on their victims with death. This commercial fucken scares me

  • Thanks to this ad, I no longer know what this pill is for.

  • There is just no happy way to say the word death.

  • What I don't get is that one side effect is an increased risk for a stroke...which is caused by a blood clot...yet another side effect is increased bleeding due to it being a blood thinner...what exactly is this pill doing to my body? o.O

  • Not all strokes are caused by clots. The stroke they're talking about is a hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain).

  • Ahh...understood...now I'm even more concerned though...I'm a hemophiliac and my doc told me to take this for arthritis...I'd rather live with the pain than cause my blood to clot even less.

  • I'm getting fucking arthritis just watching this long ass commercial!

  • What a misleading ad. The first part is crap. "Not clear" my ass; that's a deliberate smear of their competition.

  • The first 60 seconds warns you twice....death....death.  Then it tells you the possible side effects (death) is better than the alternative (painfull joints). Wow, that makes sense!!! I'd would certainly rather be dead than have aching joints.

    Thanks Celebrex!! Where do I sign up??

    Oh yeah I need to see my "prescriber" (they don't call them doctors anymore).

  • I heard Death so many times in this. It's keep saying it will increase bad stuff so it more a killer pill. Also alot of stuff like this they show people smilling but they are showing computer people so that means test people died.

  • This Ad is very informative and amusing

    but I don't have arthritis

  • That was the longest commercial i've seen before. Is it really tht long on tv?

  • Yes it is. They are required by law to tell you how many ways it can harm or kill you. In the case of this drug, it takes quite a while.

  • What is that song i want it

  • Damn that track in the background is Ill. Anybody know what that is and where I can find it ?

  • Comment removed

  • Chances are you can find it in any well stocked cd or mp3 site under "hypnosis" or "subliminal advertising". Let us know if you do.

  • ok i thought i was the only one who found this 2 be ridiculous... shit... ill keep the arthritis

  • Cannabis has been known to not cause bleeding ulcers w/ death, etc etc etc. And I'll buy that testicle cancer crap when the results are duplicated a few times.

  • I'll smoke to that.

  • This commercial is funny, its like death death death intestinal bleeding death death death anal warts death death death.

  • So where can I get hold of Cannabis?

  • .....and we've only had a few people die, and the world is overcrowded anyway, right?.........Gimme a break!!

  • yes please anyone tell me/us whats the name of the song

  • what is that fuckin song!

  • The commercial is obnoxiously long, but you have to hand it to them- they are being very upfront about their drug and the risks therein. Most commercials warn about whether a drug has or has not been properly tested and verified in the small text at the bottom of the screen, or at least say it very quickly at the end of the ad. They clearly want to make sure they cant get sued if the wrong person takes Celebrex and dies from it.

    ....which is good, I guess, even if it's for the wrong reasons.

  • I think you're giving them far too much credit. They're required by law to provide all such disclaimers and clinic results. The same goes for any other prescription med commercial.

  • Can someone id the song please?!?

  • does anyone know the name of this song???!!!

  • what is the name of this song??? some one tell me please!!!

  • This commercial is absolutely rediculous! We pay for TV and have to listed to these retarded commercials that last 2:30 minutes?!?!?!

    We are all sheep....Led by corporate america and even in our own home.

    How did we survive in the 80's without medicine, viagra, penis enhancement, restless leg syndrome commercials, etc!!!??????

  • Av8rdavid, turn off your damn TV if your going to have a tantrum every time a commercial comes on. Jesus.....

  • This reminds me of the animations from Hitchhiker's Guide

  • this shits crazy what retard would take it

  • fags

  • to theslothmonkey, do you have any shred of credible evidence to back your claim or is it based simply on a single article by Dr Ron Leifer? Was just wondering if you knew the definition of what is meant by a biochemical imbalance?

  • "There is not one shred of credible evidence demonstrating that psychiatrists call mental illness are brain diseases or biochemical imbalances. Its all fraud." -Dr. Ron Leifer, Psychiatrist.

    "There are no biological tests for any mental illnesses." -Psychiatrist.

    "In fact, we dont know what the causes of mental illness are." -Psychiatrist.

    "While raking in $2 trillion annually, psychiatrists cannot point to a single cure."

    "There are no real cures right now in Psychiatry." -Psychiatrist.

  • Just so everyone knows, psychiatry is not a $2 trillion industry in the U.S. I can't find what $2 trillion theslothmonkey is referring to, whether it's money worldwide or something else. If I remember correctly, $2 trillion would describe the health care industry in the US as a WHOLE. Just a slight factcheck. I'm not saying that money in psychiatry is or is not well spent, just want to clear that quote.

  • Pharma is full of crap

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA,this is a anti commercial,this can´t be real XD

  • They say death sooo many times.

  • Why does this commercial remind me of the Happy fun ball thing from SNL? Lol. do not taunt celebrex. If celebrex begins to smoke, seek shelter and cover head.

  • This shit may kill you, but take it anyway! We need the money and you might feel a little better before you keel over!

  • Fuck heroin. Celebrex is hardcore shit.

  • Don't take it, you die

    Take it, you're still gonna die

  • Are there any compilations out there full of music like this that I can hunt down?

  • yea, the music still is beautiful, especially the guitar, but the commercial...so depressing! ;-(

  • How can this commercial be 2:30 long and the warnings start at :30?

  • which show?

  • The benefits outweigh the risk... uh i would fucking hope so.

    :45 - :50 "which can occur without warning and may cause death"

    "lets dive deeper, a low percentage" what the fuck is that?

    then they say CELEBREX can be used with low dose asprin - uh if you need asprin you dont take low fucking doses.

    "CELEBREX relieves arthritis pain, stiffness and inflamation" then individual results may vary pops up at the bottom.

    then they end with understand the risks. See the benefits. fuck

  • Actually, people who are at risk take low dose aspirin to reduce their chance of heart attack. Studies have shown that low dose is just as or more effective than high dose. High dose also has greater chance of bleeding.

  • This is simply THE WORST spot I have ever seen.

  • this is a blockbuster movie in itself, except with a lame plot

    I think i'll try eating buttered popcorn topped off with some 'shrooms and a pinch of cinnamon the next time I see this

  • people celebrate over having strokes.  those pfizer guys are some real marketing geniuses.

  • Jesus christ. I am not taking this drug.

  • It sounds like they recorded three seconds of music and looped it to two and a half minutes.

  • HEY! We just discussed this. I like how they're trying to rebuild the brand with this. Remember when Celebrex and Vioxx were taken off the market? I think it's a unique commercial, and am astounded that they took the time to explain as much as they do. Wow, that must have cost a fortune.

  • This ad is bullshit. It came on and I went to take a dump and it was still on when I got back! That's with me even using proper wiping techniques. I might have to take some Celebrex and die from a stroke so I don't have to see this junk again.

  • Is this shit for real? You got to be fucking kidding me.

  • That's like slitting your throat to stop it from itching. I don't think the benefits outweigh the risks.

  • Is arthritis pain really THAT bad?

  • Damn, this is a long commercial.

  • Even though this commercial is super long, I like it because it will take it's place in history, for me it will always remind me of my senior year of high school and all the wonderful expereinces I had during that year.

  • they needed to stop when they said, lets dive deeper

  • I'm sure this commercial is great when you're high and it's probably the target demographic for the commercial. Do they show this during Adult Swim?

  • love the instrumental though.

  • ARHH leave celebrex alone! me and death are pretty cool friggin friends!! lol

  • only in america....

  • wtf??

  • only in america wud they advertise things like this...."the benefits outweigh the risks"..."may

    cause stroke..." WHAT?

  • I love the instrumental...but NOT the ad

  • tha song iz kinda soothing,but tha message iz kinda disturbing

  • yea...I just saw this too.

    This drug may possibly kill your dumb ass for taking it...but won't it be trippy seeing in this amazing bluish green matrix fantasy all the time?

  • Is this from Saturday Night Live???????

  • "for some patients celebrex's benefits outweigh the risks" wtf? this is the most unsafe drug ever "celebrex has never been taken off the market".. LOL the whole point of the commercial is to convince you that it might be ok if you take it.. but it may cause death how friggin retarted.

  • thank you for posting... this is by far the longest commercial ever... think they broke a world record?

  • WTF? We live in a country of Idiots--if they make this STUPID commercial...and we are stupid enough to watch it! Uh, thanks for posting, by the way!

  • these commercials are too damn long. . .

  • Normally I roll my eyes at the anti "Big Pharma" crowd. But when I was assaulted by this ad, which is 2:30 of pure audiovisual torture, I felt contempt for the industry for the first time.
