Painfully Low Budget

Filed under: BRANDING — zaiss @ 6:30 pm

This awful Head On commercial is driving me crazy. Do low budgets mandate crappy commercials like that? The commercial fails to even mention what the product is for – just what you do (a growing trend among medicine advertisements lately, I suppose). Couldn’t they at least ensure that the lady put the damn tube on her forehead? Seriously!

  1. It’s the headache roller thing. I do believe I’ve seen this ad. It is vague and crappy.

  2. But she’s not actually rolling it on her head! I captured a shot where it’s clearly like 2 cm away!

  3. That just shows how effective the roller is! It can cure at a distance of 2 cm!

  4. I wonder, who would want to put pressure on a headache with a roller. I’d hate it. I like pure ice.

  5. If you want to see an annoying advert I suggest you take a squiz at the British frosties advert (unless you guys have it as well). The singing is cringe worthy…and the advert -either Austrailian or American (judging on the background!) - is badly dubbed by an annoying English kid.

  7. You do not. What I find works best are those cold face masks. I put them on even when I don’t have a headache so I look like a crazy blue masked wrestler from hell. Then I sleep with it. Always freaks out the cats.
