Painfully Low Budget

Branding Logic  |  Post a Comment

Jul 19, 2006

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!

The conversation continues...

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

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

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

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

   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.

   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.

What do you think?
