The Good, the Bad and the Snuggie...

[Cari Scholtens]

There are some crazy effing products on the market today and I find that many of them can be seen on the infamous infomercials. I just saw the infomercial for the "Magic Bullet" blender the other day and it was so stupid it was funny...not the product, but the commercial. Also, the Snuggie...I just...I have no faith in the human race anymore if those things are selling. Do you guys have any particularly bad infomercials or products to share with the class?

A juicer commercial talking about how delicious fruit tastes in it... the gal drinking it didn't look to pleased.

A recent one would be Mr T promoting some kind of grill or microwave or whatever it was. I couldn't believe it when I first saw it, it was so hilariously fail. I truly pitied the fool.

I'm sorry but you can't bring up this sort of thing without mentioning [a href=http://www.willitblend.com/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&video=wii]the Blendtec blender![/a]

The Shamwow commercial was so hilariously full of fail. For some reason, Vince kinda looks like the Scout in Team Fortress 2.

The HairDini. My friend actually bought me one for my birthday as a joke when it first came out. It came with the most hilariously bad instruction video, it had the ugliest hairstyles I'd ever seen. I made it into a cat toy.

I think I'm going to go with a particular infomercial selling katana.

It had the a line something like, "Look at how strong these blades are?" and ended with a broken sword lodged in the guys stomach. There's videos of it, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Some of those redneck knife infomercials are pretty amazingly hilarious.

See *this* is probably the one reason I'm unhappy that I don't watch TV ever; I miss all these little cultural train-wrecks

Oxhorn's WoW version on that one:

"Elf-On! Apply directly to an elf!" *night elf gets splattered*
"Elf-On! Apply directly to an elf!"........

A SLAP CHOP!

Ah, but the Slap Chop resulted in something awesome.

The DVD Rewinder, you deserve to have your money taken away if you're stupid enough to buy one.

I'd wonder if we should include products that are quite clearly joke items, but I half expect someone to use it as advertised...

You'll love his nuts!

Unless you're a hooker. Then he'll just beat you and get arrested.
