Because the last one went over so well I guess. And he brought the dog with him.

Huh, that wasn't that bad.

Probably because he didn't do that stupid dance.

Sure, a bowling alley is the place to celebrate Crestor.  Beer frame, chili dogs, and strenuous activity...

The Crestor Fan is obnoxious enough I almost want to cheer for Team Cholesterol.

How does this f*ckstick make me want to "ask my doctor" about this f*cking product? Watch him become Crestor's Flo: annoying and ubiquitous.

I actually think this one is just as bad as the first, if not worse.  The dancing and bedroom decorated in Crestor orange are gone, but now we have not one but FOUR fools listening with rapt attention to Mr. Faux Doctor (too bad they couldn't get rid of him too) like he's explaining a cure for cancer.  That one guy looks like he wants to send all four of them to the loony bin.  Well, at least the wife and son get a break from the Crestor Cheerleader.

I actually wasn't aware there was a new one, since I still see the first one so often.

"Are you down with Crestor?" How about taking the "Are you" out of that sentence: "Down with Crestor!" At least until these abominations stop.

As I watch the bowling crestor commercial, I imagine what it will be like in a few years when the crestor commercials are just a nostalgic bit of the past. 

In this distant and fantastic future, 

I imagine finding a crestor bowling shirt at an obscure second hand store. In my image of it there's a patch affixed to the left sleeve. On the patch is the power mantra of every crestor cultist, it reads "Screw You Lipitor!". 

Somewhere out in that tremendous horizon a hideous trembling mass of a man is wheezing out his final words "creeeestooooor uhhhhh"

Just an idea I had.

I think this commercial should be titled "four knuckleheads are entranced by a fake doctor".

Just saw this. First off, ALL medication ads drive me absolutely nuts. It's such a huge pet peeve of mine!
10 seconds of the benefit, the rest a string of god awful side effects. "including  death." Watch ABC. National News any night, count how many pill ads you see in 30 minutes.

The Symbicort "big bad wolf" cartoon, thats a new one. Guess they got rid of the dorky sounding grandpa that wants to fish with his grandson "I breathe better and now . 'feesh' on!" (cue happy background music)

Anyway, this Crestor dork. The first ad with his sports banners and trophies. Dancing around like he's watching the Broncos in the Super Bowl game. Now his orange and blue Bowling outfit. 

All I can say is I hope he's getting paid well for doing this, because he's embarrassing himself.

I know we're supposed to think that other guy is feeling left out or wants to join the Crestor team - but I find the commercial is more entertaining if we let that guy represent US - the real people who would be staring at them wondering what adult group home they escaped from.

Notice how wife and son are not with him this time. Maybe his wife divorced him and took full custody of their son after Dad began acting like a loony fan of Crestor, in the hopes their son would be normal and well adjusted with her as sole parent.

 As a former ad producer, I cringed tonight when I saw a new addition to the Crestor bowling ad. Obviously, some idiot had asked how they could obtain a white bowling ball with the Crestor logo on it. A new super over the closeup of the ball now says, "Item not available."

I hope people aren't idiotic enough to want a Crestor bowling ball. I hope they were asking for it for a gag gift to a friend who is getting old. But I doubt it. What I don't doubt is that the client and ad agency, freaked by the requests, felt it necessary to add the stupid disclaimer.

Sheesh.

^  I can only imagine that the only person who'd want that bowling ball is the retard in the commercial...and he's just an actor, so he probably doesn't want it either.

 My other question about the commercial is what the heck is up with that sour-pussed guy in the next lane? He looks like a depressed psycho. I don't think that free Crestor bowling shirt is going to help.

WinkAs someone who really enjoys bowling when opportunity presents itself, I sort of thought the bowling ball looked pretty cool - I'd like a white/blue/orange one without any advertising.
 
Now, speaking from the customer-focus, why would ANY ad producer in their right mind *not* see opportunity in selling trinkets with logos, if possible? The vendors give away enough of them - they are not FREE, but, with a little pain, are a tax write-off. Why

When this guy turns around and points at the screen....I just want to jump through the TV and beat the living crap out of him.  What the hell IS that?

Saw that one too! Just another instance of pharmaceutical companies using songs I like! At least it looks like they kicked the super fan to the curb! I still remember the commercial that featured this song! A dog was trying hypnotize his owner into getting him to give him the keys. Then there's a scene where the dogs driving at night!

Is this the one with the woman leaving the doctors office as he says "You're now down with Crestor." Then she starts dancing all over town like a smacked a$$? Eh, slight...very SLIGHT improvement I guess. The super fan was a total putz!
