As one answer succinctly said; it makes a point. The entire idea behind advertising is to get ones attention, and certainly we have choices as to whether or not we accept any ad.

I'll asume you watch enough TV to have seen the ad regarding the headache product one rubs on their forehead? They altered their plan awhile back, by actually adding someone to the ad that tells us how annoying the ad is, but that the product works. I have no belief in the product, but as a hook, the ad works.

I happen to enjoy the gecko, but I wouldn't buy the insurance he promotes.

Orkin is just doing what the guy in the Car sales lot does when he jumps on the roof of the next blue light special, screaming at us to hurry on down. They are selling a product. Bombardment is also part of the ad process, and when we see an ad often enough, we recall it, (hate it or not) at some point in time we may actually try the product.

What, the one on TV? That one really pisses me off. Some fat ugly dude who is a so-called professional "Orkin Man" telling a bunch of people who don't give a crap about how he gets lots of questions on his job.
I realize that pest control is a necessity, but I hate to see ignorance propagated, like when the "Orkin Man" tells a bunch of kids that insects are going to destroy their house, or that "ants wear their skeletons on the outside" and everyone goes "EEEeeeeww!"
Or are you talking about the one with the bug crawling across the TV screen during a fake commercial? That one gets me too. It's preying on people like me who have actually had that happen before, and in a peace-destroying sense of emergency, go to throw a boot at the screen so it doesn't get away and end up biting you in bed that night. It certainly gets your attention.

Why should an add on the T.V. upset you, do you have problems with this?
The adds on the T.V. are what pays for the programing. The more the adds are on, the better the programing. I know it's upsetting sometimes to be waiting for something to come on when it's one add after another but, we have to endure and, one add, the Orkin add, what's the problem.

How about the caveman add, all these car adds. Live with it.

I actually have a similar Orkin advert and this is worrying. I have no concept the way it have been given there or the thank you to do away with it. would be gazing your solutions to be sure if somebody is familiar with the thank you to exterminate the Orkin computer virus!

I think it gets the point across.
