Head On - Apply Directly To The Forehead

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

[bethtopaz]

Is it just me, or does it seem like the most irritating commercial ever plays over and over again on Fox News. Maybe the Liberal Democrats placed that ad on Fox just to irritate Conservatives.

[theDentist]

Yes. You are alone. very alone........ you’re eyes are getting heavy.... very heavy.... you are feeling sleeeeeepyyy.... so very sleeepy.... you want to meet slumber head on...

[evets]

What? You want more you say?

[mtbopfuyn]

I must say it’s given my remote thumb some needed exercise.

[Grizzled Bear]

This is Hugh and Series! Why not post it in “Breaking News!”

[I see my hands]

If the commercial gives you a headache you know what to do.

[evets]

Actually, I prefer Snake-on.

[traderrob6]

Fred On, apply directly to the White House.

[hotshu]

Beth,

Relax and take a Goody’s powder.

[kromike]

They need to develop “Commercial-On” to relieve headaches caused by “Head-On” Commercials.

[Califreak]

There are worse ads. This one, for instance:

[Califreak]

I’m for the other guy, but good one!

[bethtopaz]

What’s a Goody’s powder? Wait, maybe I don’t want to know.

[cripplecreek]

Apply directly to forehead.

[MarineBrat]

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!

[BallyBill]

I was waiting for the

"But their products really work!"

[Red Badger]

No you are not alone. But wait till you see their new Hemorrhoid medication commercials......

[bethtopaz]

DO you have a link?

[muir_redwoods]

The commercial sucks, nothing gets my mute button hit faster and I will NEVER buy their product

[holymoly]

I hate any commercial that is run ad infinitum and ad nauseum (aka every 15 minutes).

E.G.:

Geico

Nutrisystem

When these commercials come on, I change the channel - and I don't go back.

[HamiltonJay]

Well I’d rather have to deal with this commercial than the “Dentine Fire” commercial where the daughter litterally starts jumping her dates bones right in front of her parents.

Tacky and classless.

[MarineBrat]

I want to puke when the Viagra commercials start!

[ElkGroveDan]

This is one of the most amazing scams in marketing today. The comercials never claims to cure headaches, so they can get away with it. It’s nothing more than modern snake oil though. Besides the idea that you can fix a headache with ANYTHING to the forehead is laughable.

[SlowBoat407]

This thread is useless without...

Oh, who am I kidding? This thread is just useless.

[Red Badger]

Same as a BC Powder.......sold in The South............

[kinoxi]

Walk it off or rub some dirt on it... only $19.95 plus shipping and handling stupidity charges may apply.

[evets]

"Your product is amazing!"

[6ppc]

They’ve got a new one out...can’t remember the name, but they tell you to apply it to scars. They don’t actually say it will eliminate the scars, but the implication is there.

[Califreak]

It is a still shot of “Smilin’ Bob”.

I don’t know, those Smilin’ Bob commercials kinda grow on ya. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge”

[SoKatt]

Agreed! That guy makes my skin crawl.

[vietvet67]

That one doesn’t compare to this mercedes commercial thats played so much. It actually came on while typing this. lol

Head On is a homeopathic medicine. In other words there is no scientific evidence that it has any effect at all. That’s why the commercial makes no medical claims. I guess it doesn’t bother some people to make their living from suckers.

[AUJenn]

Ha! This one gets me cracked up everytime....when the wife is all smiles - all the blantant innuendo, I wonder who this actor is. What a job.

[bethtopaz]

“The commercial sucks, nothing gets my mute button hit faster and I will NEVER buy their product”

No matter how many variations they have on that annoying commercial, it doesn’t work. One of the worst commercials ever ... and I’m also getting sick of hearing Sally Fields talk about Boniva!

[SlowBoat407]

Now, if we could combine “Head On” with a Smilin’ Bob commercial, I think we’d have something.

It's nothing compared to those old Anacin and Bufferin commercials of the 60's, with graphics of sledgehammers beating on your head, etc.

My Mom got a headache, several times, just from watching the commercial, so I guess it worked in it's own weird way.

[AUJenn]

What is the deal with those NutriSystem commercials all the time. I thought Nutrisystem was big in the 80s...did not know it was popular today. I love how they have the “silver” plan, the woman plan, the man plan. It all looks gross to me.

[johnny7]

[weeder]

Goody’s and Stanback are two brands of powdered aspirin that are very popular in the South. You put the powder on your tongue, try hard not to breathe, and wash down with tour favorite beverage. Tastes awful........works great, and fast! When I’m in trouble with a killer headache, it’s the answer.

[Manic_Episode]

I prefer BEER ON - APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE LIVER

[Ramius]

These commercials are really interesting on one level: If you listen carefully you’ll notice that they make *no* claims about the product whatsoever. They don’t say what it does or doesn’t do for that matter.

It’s like that older ad for a silverish bracelet, I forget what it was called. If you pay attention to the ad, they don’t ever make any statement that it does anything at all, other than people saying “It’s great!” or “I love it!” even though clearly they were insinuating that it had some kind of magical magnetic or other effect. But they never said anything exactly.

I find it to be a wonderful commentary on a funny part of our culture. People will buy stuff for no reason at all.

[bethtopaz]

You said: This thread is useless without...

Oh, who am I kidding? This thread is just useless

I say: I’ve had a lot of good laughs at some of the replies - it cheered me up today.

[Hazwaste]

You know who used to use Head-On?

That’s right, Hitler.

[holymoly]

And then there's the always-yelling, spastic hand-talker, Billy Mays:

[DJ Frisat]

Sure, it's annoying. But consider how effective people like you make it. First, you know the NAME OF THE PRODUCT. Second, you give it recognition in a national forum. Keep up the good work and we may see even more commercials just like it!

[bethtopaz]

Now that is torture! Hey, they should use that video to get information out the endless parade of human degree (Islamic Radical Terrorists).
