Funny Pharma Commercial Spoof – Asplavadin
OK… Here’s a funny take on pharma marketing with a fake commercial video about a combination drug from “Eli Willy”. Check out the hilarious tag line:
Asplavadin – If you’re not bleeding from somewhere, you should probably take another.
This was sent in by a colleague. Comment here or go to his YouTube Channel and comment there (and tell him to make more videos) :)

Funny Medical Commercials: Men Who Can’t Pee
Nothing like a little prostate humor to brighten your day, huh? (Well, not little prostate… more like “some humor about enlarged prostates.”)
For the most part, GiggleMed.com has remained largely free of advertisements and commercials. But every once in a while, we come across a commercial that is funny and related to healthcare. This one was posted by Dr. Wade Grindle in our Medical Humor Community.
Well check out this Spanner commercial. (We have no relationship with this company and we have no personal experience the device… we just think their commercial is funny).
Anyway, check it out.
Puffy the Respiratory Therapist – Holiday Medical Humor Song
OK… Time for a little holiday humor.
This time, though, we’re going to poke funny at our respiratory therapy friends… especially those who still, ironically, smoke. If that’s you, take this song as motivation to quit.
“Puffy the RT” is a GiggleMed original put to the “tune” of Frosty the Snowman. You will notice “tune” is in quotes. That’s simply because of my mad skills in singing. I had to channel my inner South Philly.
If any of you have singing skills or think it would be funny to sing this song as a group… make a video and send it our way. (But if you use these lyrics, you must give attribution to GiggleMed.com with something like “Lyrics by GiggleMed.com” or “Inspired by the Lyrics from GiggleMed.com”.)
GI Humor Video Relinked
This colonoscopy humor video was featured on GiggleMed back in the day (in 2008 or something). Anyway, I’m relinking it, because it is truly a classic…
A heavy, rough-around-the-edges nurse, a disco ball, and a colonoscope… Just think of the possibilities… The look on Damon Wayans’ face is priceless.
Patients already say some funny things during conscious sedation, what if Lou Rawls was putting you under like this? Imagine the things you’d say.
Want a disco ball for your next endoscopy? Get Your Scope On.
Medical News Humor? – Newly Discovered Earthquake Mechanism
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water…
I thought this was a pretty good recovery on the part of the news program… just go with it… you make a blooper, laugh about it. (Obviously you wouldn’t if anyone were hurt, but there were no damages from this earthquake… fortunately).
Funny Medical Music Parody – I’m At A Code
As if July being just around the corner and preparations for new interns weren’t enough… check out this video. It’s a whole new generation running your codes folks… a whole new generation.
Found this medical humor video on YouTube (thanks @thecarotidpulse):

Hilarious Medical Humor Music Video – Breathe
Our friend Doug is bringing up the bass in this Laryngospasms classic… Breathe
Your favorite songs will never be the same… never.
If you don’t have the Laryngospasms’ CDs, you’re missing out. And if you’re planning an event for the healthcare community, you should invite them for a live performance. Go to their site here: Laryngospasms.
Hilarious Pharma Spoof Video – Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin
Hilarious video… the only thing missing is a catchy trade name. With a short, simple & catchy trade name Big Pharma make it easy for us (and patients) to remember the trade name, but never the generic (Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin).
I like the fact that Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin can be taken in multiple routes. I’ve always wondered about some sort of mega-suppository… we could call it the “Protocol Pellet”. Every discipline and hospital service line could have its own per-rectal bolus of meds – psych, ortho, open heart, CHF, etc.
