You mean the Enzyte commercials weren't just a parody of all that spam I get?... Really.. those commercials were hilarious. I'm (not really) surprised that anyone would take them seriously. Desperation = Desperate Measures, I guess. What? You mean the Enzyte commercials weren’t just a parody of all that spam I get?…

Why? I genuinely loved those Smilin' Bob ads. Thought they were hilarious. And Bob kinda reminded me in looks of one of my old therapists, the only one that ever really worked for me, the only one I ever "clicked" with. Of course, I'm also sad that people got fucked over, and that a company would be so blatantly dishonest. And to find out that they intentionally capitalized off of people's insecurity over their genitals... ooh, that enrages me. But I'm more sad that Enzyte didn't work, because if it was, none of this would have happened, and I'd get to see more of the stupidly funny antics of Smilin' Bob.
