"Head On - Apply Directly To The Forehead." This commercial drives me crazy! Tell me I'm not alone!

[RosieCotton]

*shudder*

I can’t stand that guy!

[Red_Devil 232]

When a commercial runs more than 5 times an hour I never buy the product!

[Califreak]

Maah husband... he sed ah wuz hawt!!!!

He jokingly calls me his trophy wife!

Barf!

I make fun of that one all the time.

Try watching the History Channel with your 8 year old son, while endless commercials about erectile dysfunction and "what to do if your erection last for over 4 hours"...etc.

Now we must remember "Viva Las Vegas" as a song about artificial wood.

It's maddening.

Ahhh that would be a Senator Craig resignation speech. :-)

There’s a reason why they have it that way. Originally, the makers of HeadOn made claims of pain relief that were not approved by the FDA. The FDA regulations would not allow them to make unfounded medical claims, so they ended up scrapping everything but the “HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead” which manages to make no direct claims while pushing the perception of it being a headache medicine.

The newer version with the people interrupting the commercial only adds the claim “it works!”, but works for what? There is no explicit claim. They weasel around potential lawsuits with the foolproof tactic of making no claims about the product.

I’ll take the Head On commercial any day over all those ads for penis medicine.

Wait ... can I say 'penis'?

Oh-oh, sure hope there's no Congress-critter's lurking, my FReepmail inbox will be full.

Hey...you remember the ad, right? And the product?

That's good advertising, um...[ahem]...by any measure.

[BARLF]

Exception....I loved Like a Rock Chevy commercial.

[PeteB570]

No - the worst are the Hardees commercials where duds are sloppin’ and chompin’, eating the paper, etc as they eat a burger.

I stopped going to Hardees when they continued with new versions of the same commercial.

[Phantom Lord]

But consider how effective people like you make it. First, you know the NAME OF THE PRODUCT

There have been several commercials in the past two years that I greatly enjoyed and they were run continually.

But even after seeing the commerical at least 100 times, I could never remember the name of the product!

[lormand]

You should see me reach for the remote when Billy Mays starts screaming on my television. I’m faster than a mongoose.

[InvisibleChurch]

i like it, at least above most others, because it doesn’t pretend one of those “hip” sanctimonious stupid dad-is-a-idiot commercials

[bethtopaz]

These comments are cracking me up (making me laugh - the commercial cracks me up crazy).

The good thing is, everytime I see that commercial I’ll think of all my wonderful and funny friends at Free Republic instead of how much I hate that commercial.

I still run for the mute as fast as I can, though.

[Wil H]

Wait ... can I say 'penis'?

You mean.."Hard On! Apply directly to the penis".....?

[vietvet67]

You’re warped. This is good. lol

[bethtopaz]

I can’t stand watching or hearing people eat! Why on earth they ever thought that would make someone want to eat there is beyond me.

Recently saw a spot I thought was hilarious - some product that’s supposed to restore digestive balance. There’s a construction worker talking about it, and behind him are images of huge steel beams being shoved out of an opening in a building, barrels rolling off of a pickup truck, and a dump truck depositing its load. I was laughing so hard... I didn’t catch the name of the product.

[holymoly]

Oh Jeez. Miss Cleo, and her fake Jamaican(?) accent. I’d forgotten all about her. Lol.
