What about the SNUGGIE commercials!?! But seriously, why do you even have the TV on at this time of night? iTunes is your friend at this hour. :)

Poor me! My girlfriend loves infomercials. Now don't misunderstand, she's intelligent, but finds them so craptastic that she will watch them for hours then give me a blow by blow regurge on what makes them so craptastic!! AURGHH!!:rolleye2:

<---- infomercial addict.

My husband banned me from QVC and HSN. :oops:

I got the Miracle Blade III, Set it and forget it, hip hop abs, peticure among a gazillion others.

Still on my wish list: pixo, smooth away, aquaglobe, bendaroos, sham-wow, that floor mop that uses steam, ped egg, etc. etc. etc... if my husband ever gives me back my credit card.

I don't watch TV... but I turn it on if I'm still up at 2AM! :banana::banana::banana:

I am so glad I live with someone who was banned from cable (by me) years ago. :)

I accidentally walked in front of a TV a few months back and saw an ad for some hideous thing. A blanket with a hood and armholes (?)... because a blanket was too cumbersome, and a hoodie... I guess just did not look stupid enough?

That is enough to keep me going for the next ten years.

ha ha they all like like munks in that one.

I see a few and most I ignore, however I happen to have a thing for knives (no im not a pycho crazy person) I just like to collect them, and I really hate trying to prepare food with ones to small and dull. So I did see the miracle knives and that product does do as they show. Cool thing is there is a store at the mall that is calles showcae and all it sells is stuff from infomercials, so I bought the knives there. I love them , ill never have to buy knives agian.
I also got a product called quantum heat packs ( http://quantumheatpacks.com/ ) and I will swear by these, totally awsome product. I use them to heat the carrier for my reptiles.

OH A SNUGGIE! I WANTED THAT TOO!

By the way, I'm not stupid or anything... got a computer engineering degree and all... but, some people love to smoke, I love to be "sold on" infomercials! :rolleye2:

So, like this Snuggie thing... like the Miracle Blade III it is the absolute best in salesmanship :rolleyes:. So, there's this girl who is wrapped in a regular blanket trying to reach for the phone and couldn't because her hands are trapped by the blanket. She has that expression that says... c'mon, we launched a rocket to the moon yet we can't figure out a way to get my hands out of the blanket to grab a phone! Okay, so then this girl gets a uber-modern snuggie and easily reaches for the chordless phone circa 1980... :taz: It's awesome! And then you see the whole family wearing snuggies surrounded by normal-coat-wearing people in a ball game. They look like the blanket cult from the alien mothership. And if you call within the next 10 minutes (commercial is on all night long) you will get a free book light. Now, this is really amazing. I mean, the market analysts are very busy trying to figure out which one to sell and which one to give away as free. Because, the book light could easily be the informecial with a free snuggie if you call within the next 10 minutes. Both are the same level of crapiness... er, genius.

Like that Miracle Blade III... guy starts cutting drywall with his Miracle Blade III. Then guy throws a tomato in the air, drops it on the upturned blade and it slices the tomato like jet li's samurai... pretty cool... and then there's the rock and chop. Knife cuts like Iron Chef by just rocking the blade back and forth over an onion. And if you call within the next 10 minutes, you get another set of miracle blade III free! I had to buy it. It's an amazing piece of "craptastic" salesmanship! I love it! :D:D:D

I thought that when I saw the shot of them all sitting around in their FUGLIES... Pod People!

Very funny rundown Ana. :)

Well - my sister got me the SAME thing for Christmas one year, except, it was called a "Slanket"... blanket with sleeves. It's quite cozy :)

I personally LOVE my Snuggie and my Ped Egg. But then again, I'm a sucker for a craptastic commercial. :-) My daughter seems to have inherited this quality. Which is why we have Bendaroos, Floam, and Moon Sand. Lol.

Oh yea! Moon Sand! We got moon sand too! And what about that egg peeler? You got that one? I have it too. It's a great piece of engineering genius. :D Oh, and I got George Foreman's grill from the infomercials before it hit the stores.

Yeah, it's a sickness!

That ped egg commercial makes me want to puke everytime I see it. When they empty the thing, and all that skin comes out. *BARF* :puke:

i hate these two guys but i can watch Ron Popeil for hours. I love the way he dehydrates. i've seen the magic bullet 3 or 4 times. it's funny. i like the old lady who's is smoking a cig... she reminds me of my gramma.

Ahh, yes the slap chop!
Your gonna have an exciting life now!

And don't forget the Graty
Fretachini, Linguini, Martini, Bikini!

Aggg, the ped egg thing is gross! Let's take this egg thingy and rip dead skin off of our feet! EEEWG!

The snuggie cracks me up. I am totally getting one for my husband as a joke gift the next time I actually have a few extra dollars to spend on something goofy. :P

say what you want about Bill Mays, but that oxyclean stuff works awesome. so does Kaboom. I have a tub of oxyclean right next to my laundry detergent.

As rediculous as these things are the snuggie has had some impressive sales...although most I'm sure were bought as jokes but there is the genius to their marketing campaign.

I love those sham-wows though, they work great for cage cleaning. They're really tough and soak up a heck of a lot of water. I've always got one sitting in a bucket in my herp room.

I think anyone with a snuggie should post a pic of themselves wearing it. Might just be me but I wanna see the pod people. lol.

People actually buy the Fuglies! :O

I do not have words.

I will go and have a lay down and maybe some will come to me.

Bruce

PS: I loathe that I now have to google the Ped Egg... it sounds disgusting whatever it is.

My boyfriend's niece, nephew and brother-in-law have one. They love them. O_o

YouTube - Ped Egg "Does It Work?" NBC News Review

Ewwww...

I was just at Wal-mart yesterday and they sell the Peticure (now called Pedi-Paw) and the Ped Egg there now!

I guess you get to "graduate" from the infomercials to Wal-mart...

About a hundered years ago :P I tried that Smooth-Away thing. (It's NOT something new, even if they try to make it seem like it is) I was young and naive at the time. ........ :no: ......... Bad, bad, bad...evil! product! Yes...it takes the hair off...and yes, it's painless at the time you're using it. But give it about 20 minutes or so after you're done...and you'll start to wonder about this burning sensation you're feeling...and then you'll notice the horrific burn you've intentionally inflicted across every shaved area of your body. (Heaven forbid you actually tried the bikini area! :O )

It's just sand-paper. And they may mention that it's a "very fine grade" sand-paper....but it's STILL sand-paper. So...just imagine what rubbing sand-paper in tight little circles aaaalll over your legs, under arms, upper lip...and wherever.....just imagine what that does to your skin. :tears: It's not a pretty picture. :cool:

I can laugh about it now (a good 17 years later!)...but at the time it was NOT funny! :rolleyes:

I am laying in bed wanting to laugh my ass off at this...I feel the same way. lol

I have NEVER bought anything off the tv... I hardly ever even buy online.. 'Cept snakes :rolleyes: ...But for a while about 2 years ago I was really, REALLY addicted to that magic bullet infomercial. I watched it every damn night. No clue why.

Infomercials are the devil!

I always thought it smelt like feet... that being said, get me within ten feet of a sticky cheese plate and I may gnaw off any fingers that get in my way. :P
