I haven't seen this one but, for some reason, ads for headache remedies seem to be particularly annoying and idiotic.
I remember there was one back in the 1970s or 80s -- I think it was for Excedrin, but can't be sure of that -- that would show a woman caught in traffic with a car full of screaming kids and horns honking around her or some situation like that. Then she'd go home, kick the kids out of the house, lie down on the couch and pop a couple of headache pills. And, suddenly her headache was gone and she knew it was because of the pills. . .when any idiot could figure out it had NOTHING to do with the pills, it was because she'd gone from a high-stress situation to a relaxing one!
