It's not brilliant if folks just go out and buy Goody's...

In memory of the mint chocolate chip Pop Tart, I had a mint chocolate chip ice cream last night at Friendly's (well, I usually get that anyway... but it sounds nice!).

I forwarded the Head On article to all of my friends... we HATE that commercial.

Actually, that's the way most commercials used to be when TV advertising was first starting out. And one of the most basic rules of commercials is to repeat your message at least three times.

Nonetheless, I was still surprised to hear something like that used in a commercial.
It reminds me of the music that plays at the end of Doom (Doom 1, the computer game) where the view pans from a flowery field to a decapitated rabbit to a flaming city in ruins.

The music reminds me of "It" (the evil clown?) for some reason.

It's got that freaky "circus of death" music.

Pop Goes the Weasel?

On Weasel Stomping Day, maybe.

That is true, but it doesn't mean you have to be annoying when you do it. In theory a good ad should be enticing and not intrusive, draw the viewer in, make them want to believe that they need this product right now, yes repetition is a good way to keep things fresh in ones mind but if there is a negative stigma attached to that repetition then it's really all for naught IMHO.

I think HeadOn must be enjoying the attention they're getting. I hear they've released a new commercial, in which they actually have somebody walk in and say something like "I hate your commercial, but I love your product".

They did release that commercial. I don't know what the guy said, however, as I'd already hit the mute button.

Poptart: Um, I kinda like those commercials...I think they're funny. *stare at'd*

Head-On: Haha, when I first saw it, I thought that the station went funky or something and repeated the end of it another two times. XD It was good for SOMETHING, though...Me and my family joke about it all the time.
