Snuggie Backwards Robe Blanket Continues Its Reign of Stupidity

The Snuggie “Blanket with Sleeves” continues its popularity–both as something to buy and as something to laugh at! Here is a site that makes the Star Wars / Snuggie connection buy pointing out that the Snuggie looks like the Wookiee Life Day robe as seen on the Star Wars Holiday Special.

This person saw the commercial for the Snuggies Blankets and couldn’t stop laughing.

As you may know, the Snuggie ripped off the Slanket, which was the original fleece blanket with sleeves. But did you know that a product called Toasty Wrap ripped off the Snuggie recently? However, the Toasy Wrap Blanket (unlike the Snuggie) is endorsed by Montel Williams, so you know its good.

Many people have notice that the Snuggie backwards robe is much like the Chewbacca Life day robe (a precursor to the Snggies?). This person asks whether watching Chewbacca and family wearing Snuggies makes people actually want to buy a Snuggie.

Mr. T Cooks Up a Storm in the Flavor Wave Oven Turbo Infomercial

The Flavor Wave Oven Turbo is the latest model in the Flavorwave cooker series from Thane. (Previous versions of the product inluced the Flavorwave Oven Deluxe and the Flavor Wave Oven Platinum.)

The Flavor Wave oven itself isn’t too interesting; it cooks things like frozen turkey and the like.

But the amazing thing is that Mr. T stars in the Flavor Wave Oven Turbo infomercial! Yes, the same Mr. T who starred in the A-Team as B. A. Baracus, the same Mr. T who is is famous for saying, “I pity the fool” and “Stop your jibber jabber” is now the Mr. T who cooks recipes on the Flavor Wave Turbo infomercial.

This is really sad. Many of the old lines from the A-Team are now used by Mr. T to sell the Flavor Wave Oven Turbo. I never thought I would see a TV ad with Mr. T cooking in an apron, but here it is for the whole world to marvel at: Mr T as an infomercial oven pitchman

This Mr. T infomercial is an embarassement and just hard to watch for anybody, especially fans of Mr. T. After sheeing the Mr. T infomercial, one person made the comment, “I have lost faith in the world.” Maybe he just needs to earn enough to eat. Maybe he will be so ashamed that he will change his name back to Laurence Tureaud.

Snuggie Blanket with Sleeves is a Backwards Robe that Make You Look Like a Monk!

This winter there is a new fleece product around called Snuggie which is supposed to keep you warm. Here is the commercial for the Snuggie Blanket with Sleeves:

The Snuggie Blanket with Sleeves is really just a backwards robe! Why wouldn’t anyone just wear a robe?? Plus I can’t believe they show people wearing the Snuggies out in public. Snuggie makes you look like some kind of monk from the middle ages or maybe some kind of cult member! It may keep you warm but you’ll look like a total idiot.

They also act like the fact that the Snuggie has sleeves is some sort of a big selling point. But if you ever have to reach ro something won’t your hands get cold anyway?

Apparently, Snuggie is really just a rip-off an a similar product call the Slanket.

But the good thing is that there is a Buy 1, Get 1 Free offer, so your family can look twice as dumb! Get Snuggie and get the crap beat out of you today!

Magic Bullet to Go brings back the Magic Bullet cast

The infomercial for the Magic Bullet remains one of the most popular infomercials of all time. This is mainly because of its colorful cast of characters, including Hazel, the Magic Bullet’s resident cigarette hag. Many people frankly admit to watching this infomercial over and over, as one blogger put it “I Can’t Get Enough of The Magic Bullet Infomercial.” People keep posting about the Magic Bullet on message boards and writing reviews of the Magic Bullet infomercial.

Now an exciting sequel has arrived with the Magic Bullet To Go. In this Magic Bullet to Go infomercial, Hazel, Berman, Mick and Mimi return and participate in a camping trip and visit the beach. But here is the most shocking moment from the Magic Bullet to Go infomercial:

So the Magic Bullet To Go infomercial gives us Hazel and Berman hooking up! Yuck!!

No doubt this will make the Magic Bullet To Go as popular as the Magic Bullet on blogs, message boards and among TV viewers.

Funny Hawaii Chair Hula Exercise Chair Video

There is an infomercial for a product called the Hawaii Chair that features and absurd scene where office workers are using the motorized exercise Hawaii Chair while trying to get work done at their desks:

Even a self-described “massagoholic” would not buy the product after seeing that scene in the Hawaii Chair infomercial. Even people in other countries have remarked on just how dumb the Hawaii Chair infomercial is.

Clips from the Hawaii Chair infomercial have even been featured on the TV shows Ellen and Attack of the Show.

After seeing the video of the Hawaii Chair infomercial, many people think the Hawaii Chair must be some sort of joke or prank, but the Hawaii Chair is one piece of exercise equipment that is all too real.

Discussion of the Hawaii Hula Chair infomercial has come up on message boards and people really do have a hard time believing that the Hawaii Hula Chair infomercial reall isn’t some kind of a joke. The Hawaii Chair infomercial will probably go down as one of the all time greats!

The Hawaii Chair infomercial also has two catchy jingles: “Take the work out of your workout…The Hawaii Chair” and “If you can sit, you can get fit…The Hawaii Chair.”

Danny Vierra Almighty Cleanse Infomercial Combines the Bible and Colon Cleansing

Have you seen the infomercial for the Almighty Cleanse with Danny Vierra? This is an infomercial for a colon cleansing product called Almighty Cleanse and in the infomercial the creator Danny Vierra says that the Bible contains tons of natural health cures!

One blogger has noticed the combination of colon cleansing and scripture in the Almighty Cleanse infomercial and declares, “I Hope They Made Sure God Was on Board With This.”

On a hockey message board one poster mentions the Almighty Cleanse infomercial and wonders where he can find the full video.

Another blogger prefers the Klee Irwin Dual Action Cleanse infomercial but still recommends that people check out the Danny Vierra infomercial on TV because the Almighty Cleanse infomercial shows pictures of “a thick, black, rope-like bowel movement.”

Here is a person who offers a link to the ridiculous Almighty Cleanse infomercial with the phrase “Keep Ridiculous Infomercials Alive!! “

There is even a new version of the program being shown on television with Donald Barrett and Chloe Marshall on ITV. See a picture and read a review of the new Almighty Cleanse colon infomercial.

More Fans of Late Night TV Infomercials

People continue to write about all the strange and oddly funny infomercial they see on late night TV.

On a forum for Texas Aggie fans, a discussion of favorite infomercials resulted in people offering faves such as Perfect Push Up Pro, Girls Gone Wild and Magic Bullet.

The Lost and Found on tape blog includes a request for a tape of the very funny Gary Spivey psychic infomercial, which the author had owned but accidently threw away.

Here is a blog that discusses creating a bit of cultural satire/parody with comedy infomercial for a fictional product called the Tall Poppy Syndrome.

One real estate blogger says that watching infomercials are like watching a comedy show and asks his reader if they believe them.

This pop culture website recommends a infomercial review of a gross colon cleanser infomercial.

GumRack lists a website devoted to funny infomercial reviews in its list of recommened sties. Another website offers a site that features choice infomercial quotes. In its list of intersting sites Insolitology includes a page for hilarious infomercial reviews. Neatorama does the same with its pick for a infomercial review website.

Remember the Tom Vu Real Estate Infomercial?

Back in the late 1980s there was a Vietnamese real estate guru named Tom Vu who sold a real estate seminar on TV infomercials. These real estate infomercials were hilarious because Tommy Vu was shamless about showing off hall his mansions, fancy cars, and yachts. But mainly he showed off sexy babes in bikinis!

The Tigers and Cranes blog asks about male asian sex symbols and then as when was the last time you saw an Asian male selling anything, but adds the cavet that Tom Vu doesn’t count. (Wonder why?)

Here is person who is worried that he might be compared to Tom Vu, mainly because he is an Asian man who tells people techniques for making money. (But in his case in photograhy, not real estate property investment.)

Even thought the Tommy Vu get-rich-quick real estate infomercial has not aired in 15 years, he is still a well remembered guru. His name even comes up in non-real estate discussions. On a White Sox baseball message board someone recommends the Tom Vu seminar (tongue-in-cheek) to someone who asks how he can become a millionaire. On another sports website, the author writes about athletes making infomercials and cites the Tom Vu real estate infomercial as an inspiration they can use.

In a discussion about motivational speaking some one brings up Tom Vu whose rags-to-riches story was supposed to be inspirational.

Of course it’s only natural to bring up Tom Vu in discussions about real estate and property investing. Here is a discussion about using a St. Joseph statue as a way to sell a home to which someone comments that “Only Jesus Tom Vu can turn property into gold.” Here is a Mississaugua real estate agents who gives up several Tom Vu quotes.

Too many people wrongly assume that Tommy Vu went to prison. In fact Tommy Vu is a top poker player now.

Is the Magic Bullet the most popular infomercial?

Whenever a discussion of infomercials comes up on a blog or message board lots of people always say that the infomercial for The Magic Bullet is their favorite infomercial of all time. Many people even claimed to have watched it dozens or hundred of times!

The Magic Bullet blender/mixer is different than other infomercials because it has a script and characters, namely Mick and Mimi (the hosts), Hazel, Berman, Ike, Fred, Wilma, (yes, Fred and Wilma) and a blonde who goes unnamed.

Hazel and Berman seem to be everyone’s favorite character. This blog mentions how hilarious chain-smoking Hazel from Magic Bullet is (also see Magic Bullet here).

The “Grow a Brain” blog also mentions Hazel from the Magic Bullet infomercial and her smoking ways.

Blogger Matt Casey includes some video of the Magic Bullet, which he calls his “favorite infomercial of all time.” (This post about the Magic Bullet is also cited here.)

Someone on the Wonderland forum give a link to the Magic Bullet, causing the forum users to trade some of their favorite quotes from the infomercial. (”Come on, Mimi! Every single day?”)

On the Theme Park Review forum, after someone complained about all the infomercials on late night TV, someone else suggested that the Magic Bullet infomercial is always fun to watch.

Read this post about the blonde on the Magic Bullet infomercial who is amazed at everything and looks like she’s trying to be Mimi’s twin.

Extenze Infomercial: I can hardly believe they show it on TV!

Late nights on the Spike TV cable network are dominated by two infomercials: Girls Gone Wild and Extenze.

The Extenze infomercial is the funnier one. Extenze are pill that are supposed to make a man’s penis grow larger. They never say the word “penis” and they just say they sell “male enhancement” pills.

The first version of the Extenze infomercial starred porn star Ron Jeremy interviewing porn stars. (Ron Jeremy later endorsed a product called VigRX, so it’s hard to know which product he really recommends.)

I suspect that people who like porno movies would prefer the Ron Jeremy version of the Extenze infomercial.

Now there is a different version of the Extenze infomercial being broadcast. It is hosted by a model/actress named Bridgetta Tomarchio and some guy named Frank. Watch this video of the new Extenze infomercial.

The hostess Bridgetta does not give her last name on the Extenze infomercial, which prompted a lot of people to try to figure out the identity of the Extenze girl. And even speculate if the new Extenze hostess was a porn star because the older Extenze infomercial featured porn stars Kim Chambers, Scott Styles, Ruby, and Chantz Fortune.

Here’s a blog that claims the Extenze infomercial is a “total crock of shit” and “the funniest infomercial I have ever seen.”
