Am I the only one who hears “Senokot Ass Tablets”?
There’s a laxative ad that’s been playing pretty regularly (heh heh, regularly) on TV lately. The product is Senokot-S, which I’m sure is a fine and effective constipation relief product. But the commercial’s narrator says “S” in a way that it sounds just like “Ass,” so when he says “Senokot-S tablets” or “Senokot-S” it sounds like “Senokot ass tablets” or “Senokot Ass.” It’s enough to make me look up from what I’m doing every time. And to top it off, I didn’t realize the pills were for constipation until I rewatched the ad today, and that just makes it like ten times funnier. They ARE ass tablets!
P.S. I would have posted a video if I could find one…if you can locate one, please post it in the comments!
Took the liberty of youtube-ing this. Weird that its been a whole year and it’s still airing.

ROTFL. Sorry for being 13.
i just heard it on CNN and did a double-take. and then LOLed.
Update: It seems that the people at Senokot are finally waking up because the latest ad just had them saying Senokot Tablets. But maybe that was a different product or something. Let’s hope they keep making hilarious Ass Tablet commercials forever!
You’re not crazy – I just googled up this post thinking the exact same thing! The ad ran on the 100th episode montage of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations.
