I unironically love these commercials. They're so gloriously free of all the bullshitting and beating around the bush all over other commercials. It's just "APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD." 100% straightforward.

[insanenoodlyguy]

They neglect to mention they are about 100% placebo effect. That stuff don't do shit biologically.

[(Anonymous)]

And...? So what?

You can't get the placebo effect without a placebo material. And when it comes to petty little things like headaches, placebos have literally zero downside. The placebo effect isn't going to mask a headache that's the symptom of a serious medical problem. It's just pain relief. And if it works, who cares if it's a placebo or not? HeadOn isn't exactly that expensive.

I find such products abhorrent in principal. People who made them all deserve an ass kicking.

Only thing better is mentos commercials, honestly.

[(Anonymous)]

Did you have a particular one in mind?

The only one I remember as memorable is this one:

It just dawned on me how very loosely we can apply the word "fandom" to things... I feel so old.

[(Anonymous)]

Single member fandom isn't a new thing. Way-back-when that's where you started out until you discovered other fans more or less by chance.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

I guess so. I just never applied the word until I met other fans. The natural progression to me is

1. Like the thing
2. Find more people who like the thing
3. Enter the fandom

I am a fan of a lot of things that I don't interact with other people about, but I wouldn't call those things my fandoms...

[(Anonymous)]

SA I agree there's a distinction between being a fan and joining a fandom.

I'm a fan of lots of things, but there's fewer I'm in a fandom for. But in a narrow portion of those, I do all the fandom'y things, I just happen to be alone in it. I do of course hope I will have more people joining me, but meanwhile I post and I write and I fawn and squee and have a great time anyway.

Hmm. Maybe the distinction is in doing fannish things actively rather than just enjoying something passively in my view.

How do the rest of you distinguish between being a fan and being in a fandom?

[fingalsanteater]

Just like I'm the only one in the new Hamburglar fandom. :( I feel you, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Have you seen the ~new and improved~ Hamburglar? The one who looks like he belongs in some weird McDonald's parody porno?

[fingalsanteater]

Yes, that's what I mean by "new" Hamburglar. I write fic about him even!

So, you're saying they concoct a problem so they can sell you the solution?

Like a more effective version of Christianity?

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty much 90% of advertising is concocting problems so they can sell your a solution. Most commercials just do it through psychology (like convincing you that yes, it's absolutely HORRIBLE to have to exert yourself slightly to hammer in a nail rather than buying their stupid fancy-ass gadget), rather than physically giving you a problem.

I just love really bad commercials. As of lately, I can't stop laughing at this latest commercial that consists of really bad acting/animation this side of "Foodfight". I just have to share the commercial, so here's the link.
