QOTD

What's the silliest thing you've seen on an infomercial?

Re: QOTD

  • Off the top of my head maybe the slap chop, it just looks like it would not work to me and the reviews pretty much confirm what a bad chopping job you would guess it does.

    I know there is a TON more.

  • I think I'm an infomercial junkie - if I didn't know better I'd be buying it all up because it all looks so freaking awesome based on the infomercial!

    Not really a full informercial but that hair remover thing that you just rub on your skin where the hair is (leg, upper lip, underarm, etc) and it looks like freaking sand paper - that's ridiculous. I don't know how anyone would buy that. Lo and behold, my MOTHER actually bought it off the television. Shocker when it didn't work. I still haven't stopped saying "told you so".

  • Definitely the shake weight.

    Pooks- I have a slap chop (or another version of it). I actually like it.

    Right after I hit reply I wondered if someone might say they had it and liked it. Doh.

    I got it at one of my wedding showers. I didn't register for it. I use it though. It works pretty well.

  • I'd have to agree with the shake weight.  It looks like some dirty sex thing to me and I giggle everytime I see it.

    And I can't stand the Slap-Chop/Sham-Wow guy.  I know he's not doing infomercials anymore because he beat up a hooker.  He looks like my niece's sleazy sperm donor (as we call her father).  I gag everytime in the SlapChop commercial when he says "You're gonna love my nuts."

  • I agree with the Shake Weight.

    I also agree with Summer about that sandpaper that is supposed to buff away your hair. It sounds stupid and painful, so I would rather just shave. 

    I heart Ben!!

  • The shake weight, it is just...wrong. I do hate the slap chop guy too when he says fettucini, bikini, etc. Buddy, you are cutting vegetables.

  • When I was a kid I used to watch this car wax infomercial all the time.  I don't even remember the name now, but they would do all sorts of things to a car, but of course it came out perfect.

     

  • Shake Weight for sure!

    Did anybody see Ellen yesterday?  A guest on there was playing with it and kept making dirty comments by mistake.  It was hilarious.

    Why have I never heard of Slap Chop?

    Definitely the shake weight. I giggle whenever they start "working it".

    And, I have Pampered Chef's version of the slap chop and I love it.
