…isit true that women who use this shampoo getinstant orgasms?
What’s the advertising hook here…I mean, people buy products that promise good looks and youthfulness, but orgasms?
Anyway, does it work?
Uh, no. The double-entendre pitchline “A totaly organic experience” should make pretty clear it’s a joke. (Organic ~ orgasmic, get it?)
It’s supposed to be funny, and it’s a clever pitch, too, since most middle-aged women appear to be under-sexed. (In my experience, anyway.
I hate those commercials with every fiber of my being. I really can’t bear to watch them.
I’d like to know how you’d have an orgasm through rubbing SHAMPOO into your HAIR. 
And I agree, Kalhoun, the commercials are really irritating.
I dunno… a good headrub can feel reeeallly goood… 
I thought that those commercials were moderately amusing the first couple times I saw them. Now, however, after they’ve worked in the Celebrity angle and the Dr. Ruth angle and the “dumb husband” angle and pretty much every other angle they could to the same old idea, they’re pretty much the most annoying commericals in the world.
Other than Vern Fonk commercials, of course.
Oh my God, someone else is aware of the crawling horror that is Vern Fonk commercials.
“Honk if you see Vern Fonk!” No, if I see Vern Fonk, I’m running his crazy ass over with my car. Those commercials are messed up, dude.
Just wait till they start doing the ads for their children’s shampoos.
Ya gotta admit though, the fueled a couple of good parodies. One on Saturday Night Live, and one more recently on Cedric the Entertainer.
Ahh Vern Fonk! I used to get those all the time, then I got a dish and lost that channel.
How about Jim ‘the hammer’ Shappiro. “I SUE DRUNKS!” “MAXIMUM CASH REWARDS” “I SUE DRUNKS”. He had a great CG animation in one of his commercials of a car hitting a bicyclist.

Thankfully, no one’s ever used the body wash in the ads. If Dr. Ruth is to be believed, that brings out an even greater response.
Those commercials inspired a rather embarassing scenario for my friend.
Her 5 year old daughter, while at the store, started to imitate the commercial. Maybe becasue she saw a bottle,I dunno…
So there she is moaning away and my freind, red faced, tells her to stop this instant.
To which her daughter replied, “But I saw it the tv when you were watching with Daddy”.
:eek:
I’m surprised we’ve gotten this far without anybody mentioning this.
The initial Herbel Essence instant orgasm ad was a rip-off of the scene in When Harry Met Sally where Meg Ryan faked an orgasm in a deli. (“I’ll have what she’s having.”) Subsequent versions of the ad have only beaten to death a joke that was already pretty well played out.
Oh, Margot! Now I understand why she bought that bottle for her pubic hair!
Wow!
A Rochester Doper!
I knew that phone number before I knew my own.
Although I am an atheist, I still believe there is a special place in hell for whoever came up with the concept for those Herbal Essences ads.
They were always unclever and unfunny (the whole premise is an uninspired pun!), and by the time they started showing women shampooing in court they couldn’t even claim to be coherent anymore.
It just gets funnier every time I see it. Since they show it regularly here, I now require heavy sedation each time it comes on.
Seriously though, I deeply loathe those ads and change the channel immediately when I see one.
“Mommy, why did this white stuff come out when I washed my hair?”
