[Daria Morgandorffer]

Shake weight!

[aw]

The slap chop sucked. DH got me one that he saw on sale at the drug store thinking it would save me so much time. yeah, right.

[doctordonna]

The original Magic Bullet informercial with Hazel and Berman.

I love all infomercials.

The "set it and forget it" rotisserie cooker.

Because a can of spray rubber on a screen door is TOTALLY going to keep a boat floating with no leaks. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Confession- As a child, I used to watch infomercials and The Weather Channel for fun. I'm sure no one remembers "Amazing Discoveries" with Mike Levey or the magic bags that would crisp bacon IN THE MICROWAVE, people! I wanted QRB and the amazing Ron Popeil pasta maker. I was such a nerd.

[Chirp]

I love informercials.

Well, except the excercise equipment (the Gazelle, the Total Gym, etc). Those are boring.

Right now, I'm entranced by the Wen infomercials.

Xpress 101, for sure.

[overture]

Any music compilation album infomercial with the same Hall & Oats song repeated 12 times.

[meshaliuknits]

I love the snuggy commercials. The make using a blanket look SO HARD!

ETA: the correct spelling

I always wanted to know who the heck spends $20/mo on paper towels. I use them liberally and only go through a roll or two a month.

I have been know to be memorized by the woman on the Redi Set Go version of that commercial on a lazy Sat.

I still remember my dad on the phone ordering his food dehydrator.

The Magic Bullet was my favorite to watch on late nights in college. The H bought me one when we dating and I think it was one of the happiest moments of my life. We mostly used it for smoothies and alcoholoic drinks until it broke.

Is this the one where they are all so hungover? It IS awesome lol.

DH called last year about a turkey fryer haha. It was something like 400 dollars which the commercial did NOT mention. He had called as a joke so then just hung up.

Cuchini - hilarious. If you've never seen it - it prevents camel toe.

OMG these are hilarious. I love when they cut to the scene that shows you everything you can make with it, and it's just a screen full of random stuff, like omelets and brownies and pancakes and chunky bisquick biscuits, and every single item on the screen is shaped like a half moon. Even the pieces of meat and the burritos and things not shaped like half moons come out of that thing shaped like a half moon. Always kills me, because I picture some kids somewhere being fed these soggy half moon shaped instant dinners every night, and every night, looking down at their plate, and being like, "mom, not half moons again!"

DH and I bought one of these a few years ago, after watching the infomercial a million times. (We found it in an outlet while we were on vacation.) It was honestly awesome. The stuffed soup? Stovetop stuffing and chicken corn chowder? Fucking amazing. Not everyday food, obviously, but delightful after a bad day. It was also good for panini-type things.

We threw it out after the nonstick coating started to come off.

I used my babysitting money as a teen to buy one. Yes, I am some special kind of weirdo, if it wasn't already obvious.

My favorite infomercial was that slapchop. The product may or may not suck but his rhyming was hilarious. Bikini tankini linguini! (Linguini for a slapchop? what?? lol)

Slap chop is and always will be the greatest infomercial. The end.

And I am LMAO about buying a food dehydrator with babysitting money. I may have done something similar. Perhaps.

[basilosaurus]

We used to watch them late night on mute and make up new dialog in college. I found it hilarious. We also may not have been exactly sober.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

This is like picking a favorite child!
Remember the hair care infomercials with Cher? That's when I fell in love with infomercials.
Any musical compilation cds. They always lead to a youtube time suck.
Slap chop. Hell yes I love VInce's nuts.
The snuggie
The snuggie thing with legs. That thing makes me so happy and sad all at once.

But even better... the Boob Apron!
