That informericals have to be as over the top and hilariously bad as possible? I swear it seems like the director stands there and says "ok we're trying to sell a new motorized toothbrush, so pick up that dirty shovel and brush your teeth to show how hard it is without our toothbrush."
I mean surely they must realize these are ridiculous right? Especially the slim wallet one where the guy sits down and his normal sized wallet starts to give him muscle spasms.

The wallet thing is no joke, lol. Ever sit on a fat wallet? It hurts. Anyway, they do a great job making you think you will end up causing severe pain or something with that.

As a married man, I can tell you that I have no idea what a fat wallet feels like Dude, I seriously LOLed. Thank you for that. Mine isn't filled with money, but of useless crap that I accumulated over a 5 yr span. |

This is my absolute favorite thing about product infomercials.
Like the one about some cool spatula, and the person's basically throwing food against a wall like somehow your spatula can't flip a pancake.
Or the new EZ Cracker.
The first 10 seconds are absolute gold. I can't imagine anyone is that inept at cracking eggs, yet they make it seem like cracking an egg is the most delicate and difficult process ever imagined and that it's a miracle we ever survived without eating egg shells or getting salmonella on every inch of our kitchens.

I love "and we've all done this". No, we haven't all done that, Narrator. Maybe if we made pancakes when we were 5 we might of done that. |
