Remember that show Amazing Discoveries, which would always feature those dudes from England selling car wax that you could put on your car, set it on fire, and wipe away the damage? Those were fun at 3am.

I also remember the Southern chick selling all of that crafty bullshit like the little gun that allowed you to put rinestones on everything, and her faux stained glass kit. REDNECK!!! People like that make the South look tacky...tacky-er, rather.

ooh ooh ..'jumps around'

i remember that!!LOL

There are two infomercials that always are good for a laugh or two or three for me.

1. There's the keychain recorder that lets you record mini-messages like grocery lists, where you parked your car, Grandma's phone number, etc. I always get a kick out of the girl who records her homework assignment in class...while sitting with a notebook and pencil right in front of her. My mom and I laugh that you can use the second one (they send it FREE!!!!) to record where you put the other one you paid for.:D

2. There's this way to make $100 and $500 checks that's so easy it can be explained to you in seven minutes if you call the toll-free number. Here are all the ordinary people...just like YOU...who made thousands doing this easy thing. The kicker is that during the entire informercial the perky hostess never explains what it is you have to do. Of course, when you find out how easy it is you'll wish you'd done it 10 years ago. (If you've seen it you'll get the humor in that last statement. She only says that 5,000 times.)

Yeah, but he made his first million off the Popeil Pocket Fisherman, a compact fishing rod (that worked really well - I had one as a kid.) He also had the device that cut glass bottles into drinking glasses, the five-tray food dehydrator, the Popeil Pasta Make and dozens more...

He practically invented the infomercial and is the founder of Ronco

DiDi 7!!! That shit didn't work. As fruitless as powdered OxiClean.

That Damn 'Head On' One!!!

That my friend is a commercial, not an infomercial:)

Back in the early 90's there was this guy named Tom Voo and he did these get-rich real estate foreclosure seminars. He had this perfect system for identifying properties and turning them over for huge checks. There were several other infomercials selling the same type of thing but Voo's were different in that he would film scenes of himself sitting on a yacht surrounded by beautiful women, all in bikinis...he would show you his beautiful home and his six-car garage...and then he would say something like, "What's it gonna be my friend?? Are you gonna slave away at your job and be NOTHING, or are you gonna take control of your life? If you don't take this chance now and purchase my patented moneymaking plan, you deserve to be BROKE, my friend! You deserve...to be broke!" And then he would drive away in one of his expensive cars, leaving you in the dust and misery of your own normal life.

We used to all sit around watching his infomercials because they were very entertaining.

Yep, because they give you all the info from the mmercial that you need in the 45 seconds allowed for this horrid thing. lol
