What are some of the most rediculous infomercials you've seen?

[Raziaar]

Haha. The thread title says it all. Sometimes I find myself up late at night, and I can't change the channel as infomercials come on... because they are SO rediculous.

Not only are the people so excited on these shows with smiles big enough to give you cancer, the products they sell can be SO DAMN REDICULOUS sometimes.

Topping alot of the money making ones, one i've seen is a "How to make money sitting at your kitchen table in your underwear" or something along those lines.


Now i'm watching this thing for a "Urban Rebounder". These people are talking cheerfully about the "Urban Rebounder" Urban rebounder this, urban rebounder that.

I love infomercials. I don't know why. I'm not going to guy the product, they're just entertaining.

The ronco ones with the oven. It has the "solid flavor injector". I find it disturbing.

I saw one for a food processor called the Magic Bullet and it was the most annoying and ridiculous thing I have ever seen. The "actors" pretending to swallow all of that tripe were insanely dressed and almost caricatures of the characters they were protraying. Absurd.

Neat little item though. :E

One that probably everyone has already seen on the Internet, was one for a set of three katanas.

The guy selling them goes on and on about how high-quality the sheaths, stand, and blades are, all while taking the swords out of their sheaths and showing them to the camera.

He then proceeds to take the largest of the three, says "Now, just take a look at how sturdy these are," and starts whacking the table with the blade. He hits it about four times, saying "You can see *hit* that the *hit* blade is very *hit* strong, and --" and the blade breaks right off at the hilt, flips over, and cuts the guy on the inside of his elbow.

"guaranteed to lose up to 20 pounds or your money back!"

I was a big fan of the BELLY GONA GET YOU! Adverts. Type that into google if you want to see one of the funniest adverts ever made.

The funniest thing about that video is that you can't tell where it hits him, and he just goes down behind the counter. And then the woman is just like "are you..uh, ok?"
Another great on along the same lines: http://www.killsometime.com/video/video.asp?ID=219
