As retarded as it certainly sounds, the point made about it getting into your head is true, so it is effective at making the customer remember. On the other hand, it IS so annoying and stupid that it would likely drive some people away from the product, those who actually knew what it was for. By the way, the commercial does somewhere hint that it is for migraines or headaches, but they spent too much time on the repitition that it sucks the information right out of your head and leaves you without a clue as to what it was for in the first place. I am glad I am not the only one that had to laugh out loud at this commercial.

If the chemists who created the product are as bad as the marketers who allowed their ad agency to make this commercial, then the product is better placed in the trash. They can rest assured that I won't buy products whose advertising can only be called annoying.

Hahahaha.....true that. I'm watchin TV and all of a sudden,
"Head-On apply directly to the forehead"
"Head-On apply directly to the forehead"
"Head-On apply directly to the forehead"
Definetely the most retarded commercial in the history of TV.

Yes, the commercial is very stupid! BUT the product does work very well. I often get headaches in my temples and I apply it on those spots and viola(!) it helps reduce the pain immensely!

And what makes you think this product is for headaches? Just because it goes on your head?
Their website doesn't even say what that particular "Head On" product is for. It's some sort of homeopathic treatment for "something". They don't give the answers even on their own homepage. They have different "Head On" products.

But we're talking about it ! My undergraduate degree is in communications, and in that program we learned that an advertisement that people HATE is better than an advertisement that people like but don't remember. I bet that stuff's flying off the shelves ! (Even though people probably aren't sure what they're supposed to use it for ! Maybe it's a brain degausser to turn us all into mindless pawns?? Cheaper than a lobotomy !)
I do agree with you about the ad though...it kinda creeps me out !

Yep! The commercial gets in your head and I'm sure that's on purpose:
"Head on, apply directly to the head." (repeat twice)

no way. It's the b u l l s h i t car commercials that show no one else on the road (complete fiction) and shiny, gleaming, waxed cars (hard to achieve with pollution) and computer-generated mountain scenery.
Those are geared toward the idiots who drive. You know, the ones that pass you, looking for that scenery,
