I was lying in bed late last night watching a rerun of one of the original
Star Trek episodes, when this strange commercial came on. It was
a ten second spot for a product called Head On. "What the hell?" I said
to myself as the advertisement ended. I had no idea what the Head On ad
was about or what it was advertising.
So today I got on the internet and found out. Head On is a topical
application to relieve headache. And, as the commercial will burn into
your brain so deeply that it will be lodged there pretty much forever,
you simply apply it directly to the forehead.
Evidently the commercial is rather famous, or perhaps infamous. On
youTube I found a Remix version of the commercial, as well as something
called the Head On Auditions tape. And there's lots of other bullshit
surrounding the commercial that you can find there too.
I don't know if the product works or not, as I haven't tried it. But
one thing I do know — you apply it directly to the forehead.
Head On has been found to be much more
practical for relieving headache than its
nearest competitor, Head Off.
:lol:That commercial gets on my nerves like no other ever has. I guess it fulfilled its purpose, though. It will NEVER be forgotten.:irked:
Bad publicity is evidently better than no publicity at all.Imagine that people are making annoyance a virtue!?
Indeed, or maybe "I don't care how many remixes of my products commercial you make, just spell the name right." Ha. But seriously, it would be interesting to know who came up with this commercial. I have a feeling that there is some sort of cultural gap that's responsible. Kind of like those commercials here for Red Bull, which are no doubt made in Austria and the humor of which just doesn't fly here really. But they keep showing them. Somebody needs to tell the Red Bull people that they're missing the "bulls eye." They sell Red Bull over here not because of their "wonderful" (actually "stupid") animated TV commercials, but because it is one of the two primary ingredients in a Bull Blaster, an extremely popular bar shooter made from Red Bull and Jagermeister. "RED BULL HELPS GET YOU WASTED" would be a more accurate ad than "RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS." Unless by "GIVE YOU WINGS" they mean "KEEPS YOU UP AT THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING PUKING INTO THE TOILET DUE TO DRINKING WAY TOO MANY BULL BLASTERS." 🙂
