If someone mentioned this in the thread already, whoops, but part of the reason a lot of the reason odd products get sold on informercials that appear to solve problems few people have is actually because many of those products are for the benefit of handicapped people. Stuff that can be done with one hand, or stuff like snuggies, which are open in the back, excellent for people in wheelchairs, for instance, or in the case of the one-hand thing, that one is kinda obvious.
They need to sell the products to additional people to keep the cost of the products down. If you've ever seen the ludicrous markup that products made solely for the infirm or handicap have to pay for if they don't have insurance, you can get why. Of course, they don't explain that in the ads themselves, probably to avoid stigmas, but it does go a long way to explain some of these things.

Sex in TV and film is so weird and gross. Usually a couple will start making out and suddenly they're banging. We rarely see the guy look for a condom or anything... maybe it's possible birth control like the pill is being used but that brings up another thing. After the guy jizzes, he and the woman just lay there. No washing up or going to the toilet. Ewwwww. Then there's gay sex. If two dudes are having sex, they never use lube. WTF Also two people will meet in a bar, guy buys the girl a drink. Fast cut to them banging in a hotel room. Surely they had to have some sort of conversation between these 2 scenes.

Every video game played on TV (be it Super Nintendo, NES, Game Boy, or Playstation) will make Pac-Man Atari 2600 sounds.

Screech dated Violet who is hot as hell (I love that they tried to make Tori Spelling nerdy- heh).

Man walks into a bar and orders “a beer”.. Bartender gives him a glass or bottle of beer, without asking the man “what brand?” first. Oh the man will ask for a specific brand if it’s obvious product placement of course. You mean you've never had "Beer"? ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/ratebeer/image/upload/w_150,h_300,c_pad,d_beer_img_default.png,f_auto/beer_7987) Funnily enough, 10 Barrel Brewing does sell this. ![](http://10barrel.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/PubBeer-12oz.png)

Screech dated Violet who is hot as hell (I love that they tried to make Tori Spelling nerdy- heh). and George Costanzo dated 47 women during Seinfeld's run With Urkel and Screech we're only talking about two or three women each, and at least they're considered good guys with good hearts in their universes. Even if women aren't drooling over them, I can understand how some girls could decide to give a nice guy who treats them well a chance. With George Costanza, in addition to being considered unattractive by his universes standards, he's also an asshole. How he's able to get 47 women to go for him is nothing short of a miracle.

He had a nice apartment in New York for having struggled with employment too. Unless the assistant to the traveling secretary for the New York Yankees pays pretty well.

A guy and a girl bumping into each other and then BOOM! Instant attraction.

Tori Spelling has always been hit or miss for me over the years. (Seriously, from season to season on '90210' she went from cute/hot to meeehh) That said, I've always had a soft spot for her in the nerd getup
