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

What the hell are you talking about?

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.

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.

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.

And you know fools are going to buy it...

My GF uses one of these things....reckons it works...could be a different brand tho, I'm not sure. I know it stinks of eucalyptus (sp?) and makes your bloody eyes water

sounds like a transfer of pain - stinging eyes instead of worrying about your headache

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

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.

I think thhhe commercial for Oral-B Brush-ups was worse...Rip, Slip, Brush, Ahh

hypernova · « **Reply #13 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...

If the product "is not available in stores", that's because it sucks, doesn't work.

Maybe Sega can sue them for using their product's name:

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:
because thats the best advertisement for power tools ever.
