It’s Monday so we thought a nice amusing list would be just the thing to help get through the day. Ever been in bed, and decide to flick on the television to watch some late night comedy, and then the ads come on? Many are tolerable but many are appalling. This is a list of 10 of the most ridiculous infomercials and their products that make you contemplate whether you’re actually awake, or if it’s some crazy dream. Please feel free to add your own to the comments for all to enjoy.
I find it absolutely ridiculous this women can’t cook a hard boiled egg, but can some how manage to make eggs Benedict with hollandaise sauce, and deviled eggs. It’s egg-cellent!
Or should I say the titty Bear which is exactly what the actors all sound like they are saying.
This keeps me wondering: Why didn’t I think of this?
A family reunion with your hosts Mick and Mimi, and their cynical, hungover family members. The product itself isn’t so bad, I’ve got one in my own home, makes delicious smoothies… It is more the over exaggerated acting that makes you too uncomfortable to compute. Though drunken old cigarette hag is a good plus. I can’t explain why, but I found it very difficult to stop watching. It even includes the obligatory “man with an English accent” to lend credibility to the product.
Just watch…
Are we really so incompetent that we can’t fold a shirt?
I wonder how they lived without THIS before! Imagine trying to explain this to your guests at the barbeque…
This clip contains some seriously revolting images.
This one is going to give me nightmares. It is not actually the original informercial from QVC but rather a personal testament to the product. You might want to check out the youtube comments after watching this – some of them are priceless.
What list on infomercials could I have without the Snuggie? Where would I even BE without the Snuggie? Here is a great parody of the original commercial: WARNING: it contains offensive language in a few places. And here is the original infomercial.
WHERE THE ***** IS THE SHAMWOW?
The shamwow is a good infomercial. This is a list of bad infomercials.
I think I’ll pass on this one….
WTF!!!!!!!!
that hawaii chair is ridiculous…
P.T Barnum was right! Though I’d have to say that he woefully underestimate the number of “suckers” born every minute.
i need to get my girlfriend to buy one of those mouth exercisers
win
LMAO
owww what ppl will make us buy…
i love how on the snuggie commercial it shows a lady wearing it at a sport game….
who the fuk wud wear this out let alone at home…
I knew the ped egg would be on here. It is so obvious they are acting. Sucks I’m on my mobile and can’t watch the ones I haven’t seen. I’ve only seen ped egg and snuggie.
***** BEAR!!!
@stefan I know that always made me laugh. As if you’d wear it in public! xD
the mask looks like the one in vanilla sky
Oh my God, I laughed my butt off when seeing “The Snuggie”. Hahaha, WTF blanket.
…
I wonder why would they use the blankets for outdoors too?
The ped egg won’t burst a balloon — so how’s it going to get rid of your horrible foot skin which is most likely tougher than a balloon?
Never understood that.
… or whatever.
haha i love the ped egg, the american advert is much worse than the british version. they sell them in the petrol station across the road, ive always been tempted to get one
Error on the Magic Bullet- Mick is an Aussie, not English.
Also, The Magic Bullet is the best thing ever constructed. At least, the infomercial is.
Use of Facial Flex is highly recommended with The Snuggie! LOL!
Facial Flex = Creeepy!!!
im almost certain jerry hall wears the rejuvenate in the batman with jack nicholson as the joker!
This is the greatest list ever. Farnaz, i love you. I haven’t laughed like that for a while, brilliant start to the day. ‘WTF Blanket’, absolutely priceless.
Rejuvenique – Instantly giving you the cold, dead eyes of a killer……… Just like you always wanted
That shirt-folder thing is extra ridiculous because it seems like it would take more effort to flatten the shirt onto that “patented” mat than it would to simply fold the shirt yourself.
19. gregg — Coincidentally, I think the Joker was using the Facial FLex!
I bet #5 sees a lot of sales with the OCD crowd. I know when I fold towels and shirts they have to line up perfectly at the front…sigh.
@asdfasdf (16):
No hes not, hes got a yorkshire accent.
The PedEgg! I’m so glad you included that – every time I see the infomerical in a shop I have to walk away, especially once it gets to the part where they demonstate how to empty it and show us all the foot scrapings! It’s disgusting! So, naturally, my parents bought one. Ick.
The tomato plant hanger is actually quite popular and a smart way to plant. Where is the one for “Internet Millions” with the girls in bikinis and Ferraris in the background?
It annoys me that the producers think people with accents are more credible to sell a product
asdfasdf : you`re wrong, he has a (weak) yorkshire accent.
i know because so do i
Mmmm microwaved bacon. And it’s obviously SUPPOSED to be a ***** Bear since the bear is grabbing hold of all the chick’s boobs.
Hmm all looks like pointless crap to me.
But why do i want to own it all…?
The music was definitely giving her a face orgasm. I think I almost killed myself watching that one. “Oh yeeaah, oooh”
I am not sure #4 is that bad. If you go to Epcot, they have basically the same thing gtoing in their agriculture section. The only difference is that there is no soil there.
Is that Hot Lips Hooligan in the Rejuvenique infomercial?
Chia-Pet,
The Clapper,
Ginzu Knives,
Ronco Slice-o-matic.
About a month ago I got pulled over by the NYPD in bumper to bumper traffic because I wasn’t wearing my freakin’ seat belt. The cop asked me why I wasn’t wearing it, and I told him because my tits were too big.
He shoulda told me to get a ***** Bear.
Wow. I’ve got 2/10 – not bad!
How about this thing?
http://www.pastaexpress.tv/
Some people must need a special device to cook each individual type of food. As if boiling and straining pasta is an extremely complex operation requiring an advanced degree. I wonder where people find the room to store all their as seen on TV junky appliances?
I have to admit, I have a Ped-egg, and while emptying it out is pretty disgusting, it does work.
Makes a man want to be a tiddy bear… lol
This is evil. I went to all the trouble of installing ad blocking software and the crafty advertisers still find a way to circumvent it! Now I want my Magic Bullet! (I’m easily manipulated, which is why I always avoid shopping channels)
Extenzzzzze–or however you spell it. That sleazy chick and her creepy boyfriend/co-host sidling up to men on the street who proudly announce that they use the “product” and are now “bigger” *wink-wink* *nudge-nudge*
Funny list, Farnaz! Everytime I hear of an infomercial, I think of that guy (I think his name is Tony) who does the exercise ones and is always saying “You can do it!”. That guy gives me nightmares. So does Richard Simmons.
@frushka (34): Thank you for adding chia pet and the clapper. I also thought of that medilert one….”I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” infomercial. I hate to say it, but it always makes me laugh because it’s so horrible.
I think we have somthing like #4.
another incredibly amazingly, appalling over-use of adverbs (that suck).
How are you able to do your job in a hawaii chair? That would make me nuts!
My sister got a ped egg and let me try it. It wasn’t smooth-when it came across dry skin that was still attached to the foot a little bit it pulled on it and if you kept rubbing it would yank that bit off. It hurt.
I never understood the pasta express. It says to keep it in the hot water for about how long it takes to cook it in a pan anyway. Plus, you have to heat the water anyway before you put it in, so why not keep it in the same pan?
No ShamWow? “Hi I’m Vince Paris from ShamWow and this is so good Germans used it during World War II to clean up people’s messes! Yech! Virtually dry on the bottom (shaky voice)”. I mean really. I have nightmares about it sometimes.
haha!
In “The Big Bang Theory”, Sheldon uses the shirt folding gadget to fold everything, even his socks. Until I read this post, I thought it was an invention of the comedy writers, something the obsessive-compulsive character had put together himself. The gag is even funnier knowing that it really exists.
But the snuggie now comes in zebra and leopard print! Also, I just recently learned how to properly hard boil and egg yesterday. I could never get the timing down, but now that I can do it, an egg genie seems pointless. I would, however, like thet Ron Popeil invention that scrambles the egg inside the shell.
oh wow. i’d hate to say it, but i would so get the flip fold if it were free. other then that i have lots of hangers.
that damn topsy turvy planter thing…you think it’s stupid? we had some at walmart that sold out in 10 minutes. yea. i would get it just so i could let all the tomatoes drop onto my downstairs neighbors heads as they leave their apartment.
why no slap chop? are we so charmed by the hooker beater or do we love his nuts that much?
and the snuggie i wonder if cult leaders are mad we took their utopian fashion sense or are they the ones marketing it? i think they are.
btw the next person that wants to return a pediegg or smooth away i am going to make you eat it, those things are disgusting just realize you wasted $10, learn your lesson and throw it away!!
hey. Just the thing to cheer me up today. I’d love to see the ***** bear in action
Love some of the other gimmick ideas too, but I think I’ll give ‘em all a miss today, thank you.
hahahaha
the snuggie now comes in three new colors (animal prints)!
just saw the new commercial the other day!
great list ^_^
10 Worst infomercials
These lists proof the evolution wrong!
Sorry ment to say evolution theory
How is it possible that we have an infomercial list without Billy Mays? May he rest in peace.
Number 5 is actually used in some clothing stores so that everything looks uniformed and nice.
The video for number one is great!
What about the Slap Chop? “Your gonna love my nuts!”
HAHAH! The snuggie video is great!
& that mouth exerciser is just plain weird .. imagine waking up to a spouse who’s sitting up in bed doing that. I’d probably just go back to sleep.
i always secretly hope that the magic bullet infomercial gets picked up as a full series. i want those people to sell me EVERYTHING.
I have no idea why but whenever this infomercial is on I CANNOT CHANGE THE CHANNEL. It's intoxicating.
oh my…the Hawaii Chair looks like something I would find at my local S & M shop…just some minor modifications… & wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
seriously. I would never do anything. I would be on the internet all day & sit on my ‘modified’ Hawaii Chair.
as for the Tiddy Bear, I think it’s cute & utilitarian. (kinda like my boyfriend) I would totally use one. (if you ever seen my pics on the forums, you’ll see why)
rtr
OMD! i just rewatched the Hawaii Chair clip, just to laugh before I go to the gym…
& the girl in the office is all ” Oh my GOSH! This is amazing!” as she gyrates…
& as for Mr Tie Guy, you may say “This feels great on my abs” bu we all know what you really meant to say…
rtr
@AlmostGone (59): your clip is…gone…
