Apply Directly To The TV
Obnoxious spokesnarrator: Head on, apply directly to the forehead! Head on, apply directly to the forehead! Head...on...apply directly to the forehead!
Me: Mute button, apply directly to the TV.
I don't remember why Elvis shot his TV, but I think that we should make whoever invented the mute button, an instant saint. This person, did the greatest service, ever, to humankind.

"I didn't know what you were talking about until I saw the commercial a few moments ago."
That's the thing, most people miss this commercial because it comes on at the tail end of a nationally syndicated show. I manage to catch it too often, because I have the TV going in the background when I 'net surf or write. This ad really fucks up my flow in more ways than one.
I've never fired a gun. However, if I were to shoot one, my TV would be a very likely target.
You're absolutely correct about that commercial, too. It sucks relentlessly.

It's almost like it's the opposite of Kevin Nealon's Mr. Subliminal, which at least Kevin's character was funny for all of three SNL Weekend Updates and even better for the beer ads that he did.
They are taking verbal sledgehammer to our collective noggins, yet our politicians stand by and do nothing.
my boyfriend and i do "remote diving" when this commercial comes on. it's practically turned into a sport where we have to hit mute before she gets to the second "head on! apply directly to the forehead!"
btw - did you see the hemorrhoid one?
Welcome B.B!

Jeez, that's how bad the state of advertising is, I can't tell if you're serious ; )
Don't they always play this damn commerical after "Jeopardy"? Irritating as it may be, I'll bet you that you won't forget where to apply HeadOn when you really need it.

And all the dating shows, "Judge" shows, game shows, etc...
Bascially, it's taking up the old "Lee Press-on Nails" slot, or any show that has sponsored closed-captioning.
"Irritating as it may be, I'll bet you that you won't forget where to apply HeadOn when you really need it."
Which begs another question, is it merely hair-pulling mantra? Or is it their cheap equivalent of a disclaimer for those idiots who would use major electrical appliances in a tub full of water?
Welcome Fox,
"Directly to the scrotum?"
Errr, a little higher...
"I always thought that it was ingenious marketing ... after all, a commercial that gives you a headache while telling you what to take to get rid of it."
True dat, absolutely. They are not only finding their niche, they're perpetuating it.
"Of course they really need interactive marketing for commercials; a site where there is a list of current commercials on the air, and let us vote good, bad, or shoot the producer."
That's a great idea, except it would create the worst ballot box stuffing this side of Ohio and Florida.
