When I worked over nights, these got me through the nights. I remember seeing some gross infomercial for a glorified penis pump.
Magic Bullet = worst beach house party EVER.

They used to have a segment on The Soup called "Ad Nauseum" where they showcased/made fun of these, but they haven't done it in a while. (Although I do recall them making fun of the ExtenZe one and another one that refused to say the word "orgasm.")

Since this thread is longer than one page, I refuse to read the rest of it. So I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but my favorite late night infomercial has to be the one for ExtenZe. The ones with the acting so bad, you thought that they were only getting paid in lunch at Burger King with a $5 limit.

What about that guy who went to prison for fraud and wrote the "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About" book? I saw that book at Borders and it was amazing /sarcasm.
His cure for obesity was EAT LESS AND EXERCISE MORE!! AMAZING!11!!

That chick in it somehow ended up going to New Zealand for like a month (or so her blog said), so I think they got paid a little more than that. (I know this cuz I have way too much time on my hands)

If they can afford to send their talent to the Southern Hemisphere, maybe it does work. Or maybe so many people have foolishly bought it and couldn't get their money back. Whatever it is, I think we can agree that Ron Jeremy will sell anything just so he can afford a larger jacuzzi so he can do unimaginable things to women and have enough legroom.

Does Jack Van Impe count as an infomercial? Has anyone seen this guy? He pretty much talks about how the end of the world is coming and it's gonna rule and how much he loves the Bible and Book of Revalations.

The only infomercials I look forward to when I can't sleep would have to be either from the Time-Life music collection, or the one advertising "The Midnight Special" On DVD. I like the Midnight Special.....brings back a lot of memories.

I hate the ones about abdominal workout machines. They insult my intelligence.
