My favorite infomercial is where they are trying to sell you lilke sixty folding blade knives. They usually have a tree log out that all of the knives are stuck in. After showing you the small blades they move onto the huge buck knives, some of which are right out of a fantasy movie. Then they move onto the swords. Samurai-style swords, again fantasy-style swords, and more mundane swords. And the whole set-up is pretty cheap.
I just love watching those infomercials, and listening to those guys try to to sell.

the best lines from the commercial:

"You're gonna spend $20 a month on paper towels anyway." :blink:

I have a magic bullet, my girl got those space saver bags that you vacuum the air out of, and we have that quick slicer that you use for onions and peppers and shit. Funny thing is we didn't get any of it from the actual infomerrcials, but in department stores.

I bought OxiClean when it first came out on TV like ten years ago. The first thing I did when I got it is mix iodine with water and watch as the OxiClean "magically" neutralized the iodine.
This lady, however, just drives me nuts:

there is a huge flea market down here in florida and a stand called "as seen on TV" the guy sells shit from infomercials for about the same price but no shipping and handling fees so it is a good deal. we bought a few things a couple years ago and i think all of em broke.
btw, i always thought the magic bullet was a vibrator :lol: picturing reillyluck mixing frozen drinks for her guests with it made me laugh and spit coffee. :)

I love the shamwow commercial, the dude sells it for me.
Look closer, he's wearing that mike to take attention away from whatever is wrong with his mouth, he must have had bells palsy or nerve damage or something.
This is semi related- my parents bought some 'unbreakable glasses' when we were kids, and then when everyone was loaded at a BBQ my dad would invariably say "Hey, unbreakable glass" and then smash the glass on our cement patio. That joke was funny exactly 24 times.

That's Vince Offer, a failed movie director and actor - he made The Underground Comedy Movie, and then he sued the Farrelly brothers claiming they stole There's Something About Mary or parts of it from him.
The guy is a total creep.

I bought the JuiceMan II juicer about 10 years ago, still use it a couple times a week. I would like to get one of the new stainless steel juicers.
I also bought a Vita-Mix.
Vita-Mix was the very first product to be featured in an infomercial.

I don't know if there's ever been an actual infomercial on it, but I bought the Scrubbing Bubbles automatic shower cleaner. It worked very well, but after less than two years, it just stopped operating. I haven't decided if I'm going to replace it.
I've tried a lot of Billy Mays advertised products, because my mother always falls for his ads and gives me the "extras" that they always include. I like a lot of them, but the shit that supposed to clean your toilet by filling it up with foam, is totally useless. Mighty Putty is great stuff, but it's actually just epoxy putty that can be purchased in any hardware store for much less.
I'd be tempted to try that car scratch stuff that I've seen on TV lately (can't remember who markets it), but that still wouldn't hide the nasty dent on the left front quarter panel of my car.

But Mighty Putty you don't have use that messy mixture, just cut off what you need and knead it to activate! It's so easy! Of course I've never used it.

They sell those things at Home Depot.....but you don't get the cool laser level with it.
I actually have that laser level. Its ok, but the level part of it has such large error percentage because it has large level lines and a tiny bubble.

i paid 50 bucks. Im sure what i got was actually worth more then 50 bucks if i sold them individually. I did end up with some pretty dominant shit though. i have 7 91 donruss Mark Grace Diamond Kings now. Plus a few Bonillas, Kirby Puckets. I think I got some shaq card and Isiah Riders rookie card. Comedy all around.
Oh yea and some Tim Tuffels

So it's a good deal?
If you can locate them, will you part for profit?

assuming a place would actually pay me the couple cents the shitty common players are worth, I would come out a little ahead. But its not worth it, esp since most places wouldnt even bother buying that shit.
I used to collect cards, So I have alot more then just the ones I got from Don West. Probably part of the reason I bought them. My whole collection is prob worth a couple thousand bucks if i ever bother to gather them all and trade them, and assuming they didnt somehow become in worse condition

I got the magic bullet and that thing is awesome except for the one point that every standup comedian makes about it. I don't have little bowls of stuff laying around ready to be put in the bullet.
One more thing about the bullet is that it's great for leftovers. I remember one time I made some chicken and steak scrambled eggs with peppers, onions and cheese.... Man that breakfast was good.

I'm not sure if they've ever sold it via infomercial, but I bought a Saladmaster 'Machine' - the thing is fantastic and more than worth the price of $250.00 which seemed high at first, you can't buy it in stores or online. One of those direct marketing companies - they wanted to come to my house a cook, to demonstrate their products - I passed on that.

I'd like to try some of their other products, but between the All-Clad Copper Core, Le Creuset, and Khun Rikon pieces of cookware I have, I just have no room.

If under 25 I'm unimpressed.
