Title: Head On, Apply Directly to the Forehead.
Post by: USSEnterprise on July 19, 2006, 02:25:16 pm: Head On, Apply Directly to the Forehead. Head On, Apply Directly to the Forehead. Head On, Apply Directly to the Forehead.

I've been seeing this commercial a lot over the past few days. Smurfing annoying! WTF is Head On?

Post by: Effayy on July 19, 2006, 03:55:51 pm: It's a pain reliever (ie. Headaches) that you rub on to your forehead as if it was chapstick or something.

I've never used it, so I can't tell you if it actually works or not.

.... and yeah, the most annoying, repetative commercial ever..... BUT. You remember it! Effective.

Post by: hypernova on July 19, 2006, 05:04:04 pm: Isn't there another product by the same people? I'm almost certain there is.

When commercials are this annoying, you KNOW the products don't work.

Post by: Circo on July 19, 2006, 11:56:27 pm: Yeah like that joke of a diet pill leptoprin or whatever they were selling it for $160 a bottle, pretty much saying it's so expensive it has to work. Now there is a new commercial from Generix labs saying they are selling the product now for only $80 a bottle. $20 says it's the same rip-off company.

Post by: NIVO on July 20, 2006, 12:47:17 pm: hypernova, yes I just saw the other commercial. Its a hemmorhoid solution. I just wish they'd do it like the headache crap. "Apply directly the bung, Apply directly the bung, Apply directly the bung." Would make a great conversation piece :laugh2:

Head On, Apply Directly to the Forehead. Head On, Apply Directly to the Forehead. Head On, Apply Directly to the Forehead.

It's gotta be one of the all-time worst commercials. The genius at the ad agency that came up with this evidently went to day 1 of marketing 101, learned that repetition is an important part of making your message stick, and ran off to make this commercial.

No matter how bad a headache I ever get, I refuse to buy this product on general principle.

Post by: hypernova on July 27, 2006, 07:50:21 pm: You're all wrong!

It's Activ-On. (It was a supplemental commercial to the original one.)

You can apply it anywhere you want where it hurts. So...

I'm not sure what that is since you have to log in to see it and I don't feel like making a youtube account, but I hope its this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbXqn750nZI
because thats the best advertisement for power tools ever.
