Head-On! Apply directly to the forehead!!:smack:
Has anyone ever seen this? Yes, it is an actual commercial I have personally seen many times and every time I ask “what the HELL am I applying to my forehead?!!” :eek:
You owe me a new computer.
I tossed mine out of the window due to excess irritation.
KILL IT WITH FIRE!
How can you stand watching this? I would give up TV immediately.
HEAD-ON!
You see, you apply it directly to the forehead.
Joking aside, that is the single most annoying commercial in the history of advertising and/or psychological warfare. (I’m not positive which category it belongs in although I’d tend toward the latter.)
this CBS Story says that it’s supposed to be some headache cure. However since the makers of Head On can’t support the claims with clinical trials they can’t advertise the claims of Head On curing headaches.
General Casey was looking at using that in Iraq but was told by the military lawyers that using it would be considered a war crime.
Can anyone else see the tragic trend that this could start? 
Imagine if the makers of Cruex or Preparation X or Vagisil thought this were an effective ad campaign. :eek: :eek: :eek:
That just blows my mind.
My grandmother would probably be one who would buy this product. She sprained her ankle last year and told me she “cured it” by rubbing turpentine on her skin.
Actually, the makers of the product have noted the many complaints from viewers, so they’ve recently changed the adverts to: “Head On! Apply directly to the forehead, and don’t ask why!”
Syph-off…apply directly to the johnson!
Syph-off…apply directly to the johnson!
Syph-off…apply directly to the johnson!
I lose more TV sets because of this commercial.
They work fine until the commercial starts, but after about 10 seconds, my foot goes through the picture tube.
Anyone want to join my class action suit?
Hell, that commercial GAVE me a headache. I wonder if that’s intentional.
That “Head-On” commercial, which I see every day at the end of Jeopardy!, is pretty bad, but at least it’s very short (no doubt due to budget constraints), and the woman’s voice, while repetitive, is at least pleasant.
The commercial that drives me batshit-nuts is the one for Kaboom, the cleaning product. You know, the ad featuring “Billy Mays” screaming at us for what seems like an hour about the amazing cleaning properties of Kaboom?
That ad has the exact same effect on me as someone walking up and repeatedly poking me in the face. His voice could serve as a virtual sampler of the unpleasant traits that a human voice can have, and is utterly without virtues: it is shrill, raspy, nasal, aggressive, and too loud. His wheezy screaming inspires in me the kind of blind, visceral rage that drove Elvis to shoot his TV set, and Mike Tyson to bite Holyfield’s ear off.
As soon as I hear him yelling, “HI. BILLY MAYS HERE…” I leap for the mute button. It would not be in society’s best interests to have me walking around in the lather that ad puts me in.
Not to hijack the thread or anything, but what is it with advertising on “Jeopardy!”? Their target demographic, from what I can tell, seems to be either senior citizens or people with a lot of physical problems. (Maybe both…)
I try to turn off my DVR recording of Jeopardy! before it starts. The first couple of times, I thought it was the cable box malfunctioning.
And Wheen of Fortune, which LadyJeek and I watch on a fairly regular basis.

No lie, that made me laugh until tears streamed down my face. I want that ringtone SO BAD.
The best part is when the rerun it every 10 seconds while you’re trying to watch the Weather Channel or Court TV. OMG. Seriously- you cannot believe how frequently they play it.
DAMN YOU Enola!!!
Beat me to it. :mad:
That shit is homeopathic, right? Might as well apply to the dog’s forehead or the wall, as much good as it’ll do for your headache.
Hmm, it does say “apply to THE forehead”, and not “YOUR forehead…”
