Yeah....deathlessness sounds like the least of your worries. Then again, with all those other side effects, the inability to die would be the ultimate torture.
you do got to wonder what all these mystery drugs advertised on TV are actually suppose to do. "You have a problem you didn't know existed till a minute ago, there a drug for that"
What gets me are the sequels. You see a commercial for some new drug of unspecified efficacy and a long list of side effects with a suggestion to "ask your doctor" about it, then a couple years later you see the commercial from the law firm asking you to join the class action lawsuit for people who took the drug.Lord_Bryon said:
ENT: Moonbase
KATHLEEN: "Hey, I found a bunch of stock footage tapes under a pile of hats. Were these supposed to be for a sketch or something?"
GRAHAM: "Oh yeah. I had Paul working on a miracle drug, those were for the commercial. Not sure if it works, though, and I don't want to test it after what happened to Beej. Know anyone I can test it on?"
MATT enters.
MATT: "Hey guys, did you miss me? Also, do you have anything I could eat or contracts I could sign?"

Wouldn't deathlessness mean being unable to die? As in immortality?
This is actually an intriguing conundrum: Assuming you're one of the people who don't really feel like dying, would you take this immortality drug knowing all the other side effects? Live forever, but that life will kinda suck.

A better question; would you take it, knowing the side effects, and knowing that those side effects will kill you the moment you *stop* taking the drug. Also, I didn't hear "agelessness" or "alzheimers-lessness".Jandau said:
Reminds me of your earlier video Interrupt This Program [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/loadingreadyrun/3388-Interrupt-this-Program]. Nice to see Kathleen still playing a doctor for these spots.
Meanwhile, enjoy this list of nothing at all to worry about:

That's basically what I hear whenever I see a drug commercial, period. Exept not deathlessness, because that seems awesome.
So, is this drug a new kind of torture? I'm going to assume there's no antidote for this drug and pass.
"As an actor playing a doctor" is something advertisments should say more often in my opinion.

Nothing beats a classic "crazy Side-effects" commercial parody.
I like how each time Colbert brings up that fake pharmaceutical company, he's building some kind of continuity with it.unacomn said:
