Doctor Reacts to Hilarious SNL Medical Sketches
Saturday Night Live premieres their new season this Saturday so I decided to take a look at some of the commercial parodies they’ve done for prescription drugs. Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Dwayne The Rock Johnson… I was cracking up at these fake “direct to consumer pharmaceutical advertising” commercial parodies. Somehow the US and New Zealand are the only nations on Earth that permit this type of advertising directly people, which I think is such a strange practice. Seth Meyer’s slayed me with a sketch about a testosterone booster, Kristin Wiig cracking me up talking about having her period once a year, Chris Rock killing me complaining that he actually like Taylor Swift… SNL got these so right. Did I miss one? Let me know down in the comments if there’s another sketch you want me to look at!
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

LOL snl
Colon Blow! RIP Phil 💔
I was SHOCKED when I learnt the US advertise PRESCRIPTION medication?? What?! So patients come in wanting a prescription before even seeing the doctor. Thats wild!!
ok this was super funny!
I really want to see you watch the entire Colon Blow commercial, one of my all time favorites from SNL.
Your eyelids look really red. Hope you’re getting enough rest, doc!
These were great, but Dr. Mike's reactions, MAKE the video.
Hey Dr. Mike, I have a few questions and maybe video ideas. 1. Can testosterone make someone suicidal? Let’s say a male (60s) and he has pretty frequent pain but usually works through it. Why would it? Is there anyone you can interview that would have more info on that? 2. How can I deal with someone who is an alcoholic and drug user? (Weed and coke) how does this impact their thinking and personality? I see the changes but I want to know the science behind it. Why do people feel like they sound or think smarter after smoking weed? (At least some people say this) and how can I get this person to therapy? Not to necessarily quit their substance abuse but just to heal and stop lashing out at others who just want to help or understand. (I know this one is tricky) 3. (Last one I promise) Can you do a video pretty please with someone with sleep disorders? Like sleep apnea but primarily with narcolepsy. I would love to have more information and videos on narcolepsy and I love how you explain or can connect with others who can explain how illnesses work. I have narcolepsy and recently had to leave my job because of it. It’s left me homeless too because I can’t get two-three jobs in order to afford a place to live on my own. It’s pretty upsetting and I want to know how others deal with it and what are the signs and symptoms of it? (At times I don’t know if I’m falling asleep, having a blood sugar crash from hypoglycemia or disassociating- so it’d be really neat to know what the heck my body is doing 😭) If you read all this, thank you so much. I know it’s difficult to answer all my questions or make specific videos but I appreciate you taking the time just to read the comments. Take care 👍🏼 (also, give Bear a big hug for me!)
“Diamonds are the sharpest known element” Thank you very cool
@08:01 Oh..., Dr.Mike is hella funny. Roflol 😂
I would really love more of these
DTCPA Exists in India aswell.. I have bought tons of stuff without the doctors bill and stuff
My mom used Zyban to quit smoking! It was originally marketed as an antidepressant that was found to be _more_ effective as a quit-smoking aid.
Hey, Doc... Want the Horror Version now? fistream.info/work/videot/aMiFo6uze5icv2g
These were even funnier with doctor mike's amusement.
Dr. Mike is so hot....
Did you say "sharpest known element"? Well, it's all carbon or something, but....
I've trained myslef to listen to the people talking about the crazy symptoms at the end of those commercials.
Dr. Mike, did you also realize that the amount of time a commercial talks about the medication they are also required to have the EQUAL amount of time talking about the side effects/issues and medical facts about said medication. I agree with you that the pharmaceutical industry should not be allowed to advertise to the common person. This country has some seriously wacked out ideas.
I loved this! Ironically I’m in the legal field and have only seen Dr. Mike lol.
6:21 sad truth in this world. And im not talking about doctors only
Mamma doctor jones should react to anuelle.
Noooo he cut out the best parts of the Dwayne Johnson one
I got a vitamin ad while watching this
I got an ozempic ad on this video, read the room man😂
Afraid I'll rip open my stitches laughing to these xD
Excellence! I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude to Dr.Michael Apa and the staff of Aesthetic Smile Design. Although I have rated him for five stars, in my heart he is worth five thousand stars! Since the completion of my smile restoration, I can truthfully say that I usually do not complete a full week without receiving compliments on my smile. Once while visiting New York City with friends, a stranger called out to me that I had a “million dollar smile”! What a wonderful feeling it is to be regarded in that way. From past dental experiences I can fully attest that a “nice” smile is not always going to be a “functional” smile. Upon becoming a patient of Dr.Michael Apa , I quickly realized that the long road of unreliable dental procedures that I have traveled has finally come to an end. Dr.Michael Apa put his high standards and expertise to work and created a beautiful, functional and most importantly reliable smile that I wear proudly and confidently today and for that I am forever grateful!”I will share his personal information 👇 Email: doctormichael39@gmail.com M.line: +420777238761
I was hoping he would react to the Woomba skit. That was hilarious.
Did anyone watch anything else than Dr.Mike’s smile the whole video?!
Does anybody else think he kind a looks like Manny MUA
Diamond is not an element.
IM DYING >:}
6:10 Veins poppin' like hell I hate it when patients do this!!!
Diamond isn’t an element it’s an allotrope of carbon
New Zealander here. is this the whole "ask your doctor if _______ is right for you" thing? that i hear so often that the sentence is burned into my memory. we have something like that in common with the US?
I wanna see mama Doctor Jones react too!
Reviews should be illegal. We’re all out here tip toeing around people because we’re afraid of them blasting off online. People can’t provide proper service. It’s basically bullying.
On the colon part .. "I'm not even... the one gonna be using it". I died inside. I was in the bus, mouth full of ice tea. I always spit everything in my mask. And then, started to choke. People around were looking at me like I was either insane or COVID positive. Dr Mike, the only doctor who tries to kill you. D: (Broken english, sorry. honhon désolé)
In the next snl react, make sure to add rectix
"That stuff will kill you!.. You can't put that in your body!" lol
One of those people who *conviniently* get vertigo when listening to taylor swift is my mom
Ok I'm dying here. Is it only me or does Dr Mike look like hes wearing lipstick and orange eyeshadow??? Lol
Yo mike! Diamond is not an element...😂
Imagine that diamond ring customized with spikes on the inside. That'd be punk af.
I'm not even.........the one... who'd be using it... :D Studio C also has good medical sketches 🤔
Real life McDreamy over here, amiright?
Direct to consumer marketing is absolutely WRONG!
Anybody else wonder when watching Doctor Mike if he is ok because of how red his eyelids are?
8:22 that guys wife shot him point blank in the head with a 357 magnum while he slept. Just thought you should know
I wonder what your like in person. Your adorable in your videos
can you continue to react to SNL skits, please?! Loved this! 🤣🤣🤣
I really don't like the Chantix commercial with the turkey. Does it bother anyone else?
Oh my God...that Annuale one...I was in hysterics!
You laugh like Chris Evans💕💕😍😍.. Dr. Mike is really adorable 😍😍
Taylor swift, dizzy- what- NO
Gotta correct something here. Diamonds are ridiculously hard, not necessarily sharp. You could technically smooth a diamond out to bling out whatever you wanna put in your vag.
"Zentrex, what is hell is Zentrex?...Rhino horn, ammonia hydroxide? That's what's in meth, right?" I haven't laughed so hard in years.
Man I used to love the rock looked up to him But man he supporting a communist Biden family All lost respect And bro his shoulders are unreal to big now It’s like shedder blades poking out lol
Every morning I have to watch, one of your videos, they make my day,
🤣😹😂
direct to consumer marketing also legal in Austria (the Hitler and Mozart one)
Here in Canada we have those commercials too
Dr. Mike you gotta see SNL's Heroin AM video it's probably one of the funniest ones.
8:28 my bio teacher showed this clip to is during our protein and lipids unit recently lmao
Why is 2:30 so cute
We may allow direct advertising of pharmaceuticals in New Zealand but I personally haven’t seen an ad for one in years 🤷♀️
I love the use of actual drugs. Cialis commercials would be fun to work with. Braintree should rename Go-Lytely to Colon Blow. Far more accurate.
Id love to doctor mike react to the Knick (2014) due to it taking place early 20th century medicine!
Best and funny and handsome doctor ever who can do anything in life bear is the cutest and sweetest dog ever I love them so much and roxy is incredible and everyone on the planet deserves the best in life and stay strong And stay safe have hope you’re not alone!😇😇😇
I love the way you laugh. Adorable!.... Perfect ☺ smile
I wanted to see his full reaction to Xentrax
Can you explain how a stress Fracture occurs
How is yours Doc?? 😏 Doctor Mike you have allergies? Bc you sound stuffed
Was the actor for colon blow supposed to sound like Phil Hartman because that's who he sounded like?
🤣🤣this is awesome
Why doesn't my doctor look like Dr Mike 😩 injustice of the worst kind
I think it’s hilarious how ads always use celebrities but I’m an idiot and I have no clue who those people are.
Wait - why is that a con with the firemonster baby?
Hello doctor mike, I am from India and here people are not much aware about the protection(mask) they are using where they are using fake masks with one layer of cotton and respirator mask. Could you please provide some clearity on which type of mask can be used as here in India not every one can afford buying N95 every month.
These are allowed in also in Bulgaria. However, all commercials end with the warning that even though doctor's prescription is not required, the user must read the note in the package before taking the drug. But if you reach to the adverse effects, you would most probably prefer to through away the drug... after you've paid for it. E.g. fistream.info/work/videot/hatuiK6pfnWVm3U
The stop smoking pill can cause suicidal thoughts.. and apparently does commonly enough that my Dr told me to call in even if I got depressed while taking it.
I've been watching dr Mike so much I found myself saying "beewhoop" the other day
This is the last Dr. Mike I'm gonna watch tonight....I swear.
I am from Canada and it makes me laugh when I hear about the medical profession as a business. so different
I miss Phil Hartmann
🤣🤣🤣 the period one was so funny.
I live in Canada and I see those types of ads on Canadian channels all the time, guess they must allow them here too then
Please do this again
The best thing is when there's a medication and the potential side effects totally counteract it. There was one that was supposed to help your bones be stronger but one of the side effects was that it's easier for your bones to fracture.
In Romania we also have pharmasuticals advartising on tv. For example medicine for digestive problems...cough and every supliment you can imagine.
You forgot Rectix
Oh my god this is so good... one video made me happy for a whole day :D
Diamonds are the toughest *element* Me someone who has seen at least one periodic table:😐
We got a lawyer youtuber and a doctor youtuber which is awesome
4:05 is that the guy that voices the Mosquito in The Bee Movie
Dr.Mike, do u believe in "enlargement" process for men...?! 😅😅😅
In answer to the actors question: I have a friend up in Canada who did a commercial for a diabetes medication playing the patient. She does not have diabetes. So at least once in history, it was just acting!
I remember the Colon Blow commercials...from when they were originally aired - my god I'm old. I am 100% FOR DTCPA since I've had to do so much of my own research to get proper health care. I ended up finding what I joke as my "miracle pill" from an ad I saw and my doctor literally said, "I never thought about that." That was from a DO with 20ish years of experience doing endocrine and psych.
