It's just a headache treatment, they seem to be repeating it for a joke.
No it's serious; they did a feature on it on "Countdown" last night, and you actually can buy it at a drugstore.
I know the product is serious, they sell it here too, but with a different commercial.
I meant repeating it like that.
It would be kind of a waste of money to do something like that as a joke, I think they probably just decided to invest in a "new idea" that didn't work so well.
Oh God, is it that awful Head-On ad! I hate it hate it, hate it! I see it all the time on TV here in America, it's like they got a 6th grader to make the ad based on some old concept. Like it's supposed to subliminaly affect you, but all it does is be annooyyyinng. I wish they'd get a clue, the ad just makes me want to not buy their product. :sick:
I had to watch this with the sound off becos of sleeping man, but did you see the Zidane version? It's one of those couldn't resist connections.
And the one where he applies directly to forehead various other things is funny, too. I like when he applies his sneaker and he gets happy. The others he didn't smile.
Hate that one. The worst comercial ever, however, is the one where the car is underwater and the children are looking at the fish, then it comes out and at the bottom it says "Fictionalization". What the hell does that mean!? First of all, I don't think that's a word. Second of all, what was the point of your ad? I now know that your car is not amphibious, and nothing else. Why would I buy the car only knowing what it can't do!?
I also hate that commercial, it ranks right up there with a local mattress store chain commercial where the owner says he'll beat any price or "your mattress is FREEEEEE!" The way he says it is so annoying, I often switch the channel when I see that commercial comming on.
Has anyone seen the hoverround commerical? That one annoys me, esp. when one person says that "it did not cost me one penny". It sounds fake, (indeed, it was said in two variations of the commerical, by two diffrent people) like something no one would say in real life. Still, the head-on ad is by far the worst. Head-on! Head-on! Head-on! Most annoying ad ever devised by mankind.
It should repeat a dozen more time to make people really need it.
I've got it! They are being deliberately annoying so that it will give people a tension headache thereby increasing the number of people with a headache thus increasing sales.
They are freaking geniuses!
Regarding head on:
It doesn't actually do anything, the product is almost entirely made of wax. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble with the FDA they decided to make no claims whatsoever and simply hint at the idea of it being headache relief while telling customers what to do with it. They can therefore not be sued for making false claims.
What a funny ad! "Don't know what this product is? Buy it and find out!"

what the hell.........
Why would someone want to buy Head On after seeing an advert like that
Seeing as I read this thread a month ago it has taken me that time to get up the courage to watch it (after watching
this), now all I can hear is "Head-On, apply directly to the forehead".
