infomercial(s)

what are your favourites past and/or present?!

for me,
present: the miracle blade with chef tony especially when he demonstrates how we would cut bread before the miracle blade & after the miracle blade. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

present: the tupperware container storage (i forget the actual name). they come in 3 sizes and the lid is one size fits all. anyway, there is this part where this blonde kid is helping an adult storing food & after he finishes he looks at the adult with this stoopid look on his face.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

past: any "amazing discovery" infomercial hosted by Mike Levy & his bil cosby sweaters....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! he was such a NERD!!!

past any dial-a-date infomercial starring "DAVID BRONSTEIN"

<---HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I had to cut myself off from buying shit from informercials a few years back.

I've bought way too much shit from: Ronco Food Dehydrator, Ronco Rotissery Chicken, George Foreman Grill, Steak Knives, Tonny Little Gazelle, Dr. Ho's Electrocharger, Tony Robins CDs, Time Life Music 1950 to 1979 CDs, The Pasta Pot Lid-Strainer, Dial-A-Matic Chopper, the list goes on and on (I'm serious, it does)...

Blast from the past, and the strangest item for sale, ever!

The Flowbee (for those of you who aren't old enuf to remember, it's a personal hair cutting system u hook up to your vacuum cleaner).

http://www.flowbee.com/index.html

ANd let's pay homage to the original infomercial....

The Ginsu Knife set.

"It slices a tomato so thin that it looks like a photograph on the dinner plate. It cuts through tin cans and steel hammer heads and still cuts like a razor. It filets a fish right down to the skin. It is guaranteed for life, EVEN IF THE DAMAGE IS YOUR FAULT. On TV you get two Ginsu knives (buy one, get one free). Here on the Internet you get the two Ginsu knives plus four steak knives, plus a paring-utility knife, plus the newest Ginsu, the Chef's Knife, a sport-fishing filet knife, and a decorator's delight, a spiral knife to make slinky-toy potatoes."

Heads up- it isn't good at all. My friend bought one and said it was the biggest waste of money. Infomercials have a way of making things look greater than they are, especially the ones that become those "As Seen On TV" products.

Just take the Flowbee- do u really think u can shape and style your hair with some hair clipper hooked up to a vacuum hose? Are u gonna get proper even lengths where u want them? Only a fool would've bought into that one.

my old roomie bought this 'toy' too! It is alright - but it isn't true that you canmake any meal in 10 seconds - that only means prep time ! I never found it chopped very well - it only puree's food! I am not a fan of baby food - so I wouldn't suggest this "toy" the majic bullet -

to tell ya the truth infomercials drive me UP the freakin' wall! I don't have cable, and for all the channels i do receiv (all of 7) they are infomercials by 1am! sucks ass!

I hate ashley madison advertisments and majic bullet gets so annoyign and tony little;;;grrrrrr, informercials are so brainwashing and fake - they are all actors and actresses (and shitass ones at that!)

ok chef tony's miracle blade knives are the best out there, no doubt about it

i like how that other infomercial, with ron popiel (sp?)

he copied them exactly!! its the same looking knife and even the guy who does all the cutting and shit took lines that chef tony used in his infomercial.

*Does crazy hand scoop skyward while saying discreeet!*
