Any commercial that repeats the same thing 3-4 times:

"HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead."
"HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead."
"HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead."

or...
"Injured on the job, call the number below."
"Injured on the job, call the number below."
"Injured on the job, call the number below."
"Injured on the job, call the number below."


Sometimes, you wanna ram those commercials "head on". :wall:

And I've heard that there's a health risk... (what ISN'T risky health-wise anymore??) ...with that...

"HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead."
"HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead."
"HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead."

Something about the chrome (?) inside the product isn't good for your skin, anyway.

I can't stand local commercials that people put their kids in.

The kids are always stupid and have English skills well below the appropriate level. You can't understand a single thing and can't figure out what they're selling half the time.

Any commercial showing a car going a zillion miles an hour and doing loop de loops. I think it sends a bad signal to teenagers who are new to the road.

I hate the Head On commercial too but my least favorite is we have one for an OSullivan Factory Outlet Store. Everytime he comes he screams OOOOOOOOOOOOSullivannnnnn and I want to slap him through the tv.

Another worst local commercial (which as gone by the wayside) with a furniture dealer winding his arm everytime he said the address of his business "1212 Loop 12".

Forunately, they've went outta business last year.

That Head-on Commercial is awful yes it is...but it did really serve its purpose, yes that everyone can remember it, but take yourself back to the first time you ever saw it...you probably weren't even looking at the tv during the commercial time, but because it kept repeating itself, it actually MAKES you look.

Repetition really works, in most everything, in so far as remembering things.
Still, it is annoying as hell.

The problem with the Head-On commercial is that they don't tell you what it does.
