The new Viagra commercial opens with a rather amusing scene. We see a man walking down the isle of a lake, maybe even a small ocean. He is dressed in a dashingly fashionable manner, though perhaps a bit too fancy for this particular setting. You won’t find many lakes in the city, but the setting is evocative enough. We see people dining algong; some kayaks in the distance perhaps hint at the kind of vacation this man is on. And then, suddenly, our man stops and looks around, as if sensing a presence.
Before he can turn around, we see a huge wave of water splashing towards him. He barely has time to brace himself before he is completely immersed. What happens next is rather funny. The man’s frantic, yet very polite efforts to remain above water are parodied rather effectively. In the meantime, his dining companions have grown rather bored of waiting for their dinner and have wandered off. Only one still appears to be interested in his predicament: a rather sassy-looking waitress, who keeps offering him her help while he flounders about in the water, trying to keep his head above the waves.
The Commercial Purpose
This is a rather light-hearted and amusing ad, which aims to pep up weary travelers with a dose of nostalgia. The wave of water that nearly drowns the well-dressed man is evocative of the famous Niagara Falls. But this isn’t your usual waterfall advertisement. Instead, we are treated to a more subtle and artistic display of nature’s fury. The water pressure is subtly displayed through the positioning of the man in the water, as well as the angle from which we see him. The visual allusion to the power of water is highly evocative and should remind viewers of the potency of Viagra. And, for those who may be unfamiliar with the drug, the creative use of water in this setting should be quite the eye-opener.
What Is Viagra?
If you have watched the commercial, you will have probably already guessed what drug the drowning man is taking. If not, then let us tell you. Viagra is one of the most famous and widely-used erectile dysfunction drugs. Its active ingredient, sildenafil, improves blood flow to the penis, thus facilitating an erection. In rare cases, it can cause premature ejaculation, anxiety, or vision problems. It is widely prescribed for treating erectile dysfunction, which is why you will often see it advertised along with other ED drugs, such as Cialis and Levitra. Most men will be familiar with this drug, particularly those who are active on the internet. In recent years, it has become one of the most popular questions on AskMen, with over 300,000 people searching for information about Viagra each month. It is also one of the most popular topics on Reddit’s r/mhealth forum, with over 70 discussions about the topic currently active. It would appear that the fame of this drug has bred quite the curiosity among men, particularly in regards to the question, “What is Viagra?” It is a fair assumption to make given its rather broad and general usage. What’s more is that, for those who are unfamiliar with the drug, watching the commercial could actually prove quite educative. Most men will recognize the face of Ben Stiller, the actor and comedian who provides the narration for the ad. Stiller was the actor who played Dr. Scottie Ferguson in the Annie Hall, the Sideways, and the Night at the Museum movies. He also starred in the Academy Award-winning film, The Royal Tenenbaums, among others. It is rather fitting that he would make a comical and endearing appearance in a commercial for Viagra, as he is known for his dry and deadpan comedic style. You should also know that Stiller narrated over 80 commercials for various pharmaceutical companies, as well as several documentary films. This is quite the resume for an actor who apparently can’t keep his tongue in his mouth.
What Is The Deal With Viagra?
It’s rather unusual for a drug company to plaster their ads with cameos from notable celebrities. For those who are unfamiliar with the drug, let us enlighten you a bit about what’s going on here. Viagra is considered to be a “niche” drug, meaning that it is a medication that is used by only a small segment of the population. In the United States, it is prescribed to about 2% of men. In other countries, such as the United Kingdom, it is used by closer to 4% of men. It is most often prescribed to older men, though it’s being used increasingly by middle-aged men as well. In fact, in some countries, such as New Zealand and Australia, it is available over-the-counter. For those who are unfamiliar with how prescription drugs are acquired and administered in these countries, this can sometimes prove to be problematic. Sometimes, it is easier for men to purchase the drug without a prescription from a private doctor. However, this can lead to health problems, particularly if the medication is not used correctly. In countries such as the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., men are more likely to acquire the medication from a doctor. This is because, in most cases, erectile dysfunction is diagnosed by a medical professional and then prescribed to treat it. Sometimes, men will self-diagnose and simply take the drug, without realizing that there may be alternative causes for their situation. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to see your doctor regularly, for blood pressure checks and to get a proper diagnosis, before trying to self-diagnose and treat any ED symptoms. In addition, sometimes the drug isn’t the problem. Sometimes, it is physical conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes, that are causing the ED. In these cases, the drug may not be the best solution, but it can still be medically useful. It can help men with ED get through their day without worrying about whether or not they will be able to perform sexually. It’s rather a lot to digest, all things considered.
How Is Viagra Different From Other ED Drugs?
In addition to being one of the most popular topics on AskMen and Reddit, Viagra can also be rather unique, among ED drugs, in the way that it works. Most erectile dysfunction drugs work in a rather similar way. They are generally safe and effective when used appropriately. However, there are situations where they can be harmful. For instance, Viagra can cause eye problems in some individuals. This is because the active ingredient, sildenafil, is usually applied directly to the eyes as a liquid solution for instilling a few drops in the corner of the eye. If you have ever used Augmentin, one of the antibiotics, then you may have experienced transient vision problems. These are commonly known as “anticipation visual disturbances,” and they are caused by the antibiotic, augmentin, interacting with alcohol, particularly during hot weather, when the effects of the alcohol are magnified. Like many antibiotics, augmentin can cause some people to experience visual problems, when used alongside alcohol. So, when men have consumed alcohol and then taken Viagra, they should be aware that this could cause them to experience visual problems, particularly when the sun is beaming down on them.
