Rizapropamadachangaviscobarbarastreisandinol (segment)

Rizapropamadachangaviscobarbarastreisandinol, more simply referred to as 'Medicine Ad', is a segment from Channel -12 News that was released on March 22nd, 2021 as part of the first season's first episode. The segment is an ad parodying American prescription drug commercials with extensive side effects.

Outline
The segment begins with a short skit of a father and son sitting together as the father finishes reading a book. As the father gets up to pick another book to read, his body suddenly stiffens and he falls on the floor, yelling at his son to "call the f*cking ambulance". Suddenly, Neil Alibastor walks onscreen, asking "has this ever happened to you?" before he is interrupted by a second narrator, telling him he is in the wrong commercial. The narrator then goes on to explain that the father suffered from 'Spontaneous Pencil Disorder', and introduces Rizapropamadachangaviscobarbarastreisandinol as a prescription to reduce attacks by up to 15%. The narrator then lists all the side effects, including drowsiness, nausea, memory loss, and the bringing of judgement day. The commercial finally ends showing a man throwing up, advising the viewer to not take the medication before collapsing on the floor as the camera cuts to black.

Background
The segment was written by Oliver Beckwith to parody typical medicine ads with laundry lists of worrying side effects. Oliver also filmed the segment at his home, as he had to isolate due to being exposed to someone with Covid-19. Sean Montgomery provided the voiceover, with the Neil Alibastor clip being pre-recorded.

Trivia

 * One of the side effects listed for the medicine is "the bringing of judgement day", with the Judgement Day segment immediately following the ad, suggesting a canonical connection between the two segments.
