"Head On: applied Directly to the forehead"

Its some bs homeopathic anti-headache thing. It repeats the phrase around five times after every CNN break.

Oh, yes! And now Active On and some other "on" and I can't think of it! So irritating, and even irritating are there ones that say "Head on" and a person interupts and says "Head On, I hate your commercials, but I love your product!" Ugh. . .definitely irritating - read that it's really not good to use, either!

The very recent one for star burst berries and cream. That guy from the 1700's pisses me off so badly. I actually said very loudly "Fuck this!" the first time I saw that commercial.

Okay, with the little lad that loves berries and cream? I just found it on youtube. Irritating, yes.

The one for hoo ha Cream, where the mother and daughter are walking down the beach and talking about that "not so fresh feeling." The last person I want to talk to about less than fresh feelings in my southern hemisphere is my mother! Geesh!

There the ones . Can't believe someone has put them on Youtube. You see that ad twenty times a day and you start to lose your sanity.
Avatar ChelseaMark Oct, 21 2007 at 11:11 AM
People have actually put them in their favourites !!!!!!!!! There's some sad people about.
Avatar KagomeShuko Oct, 22 2007 at 07:54 PM
But, you see, if those people are not in the UK, they do not see them 20 times a day. They see them zero times a day unless they watch them on YouTube. There are parodies on YouTube and girls being silly, as well as live versions (with people cheering for them) online as well.
I have to admit, the tune is catchy. I'd get tired of it if I saw it all the time, too, but still . . . I don't.

The Abdominizer!
It seemed to be the first of a wave of infomercials back in the 90s (those advertisements that run on for more than 10 minutes) to hit New Zealand. I can't find a clip of the advertisement on Youtube, which is a shame, but it was very annoying. That and Suzanne Paul's 'Natural Glow' commercials (whom I also can't find a soundbite for, but she is the British equivalent of Fran Drescher).
