Insomniacs: Post your favorite late-night "WTF?" infomercial

[Gray]

I caught about 5 minutes each of two classics, back to back:

1. MagicJack

Who, exactly, is the target market for this? The millions upon millions of people who have high-speed internet, yet don't have a cell phone? Nothing says "trust in me - buy with confidence!" like a spokesman with a fake tan and a fake Rolex.

2. Kymaro "Curve Control" Jeans

"Mom jeans" look good on no one. Seriously. It doesn't matter if you're built like Brittany Murphy or Camryn Manheim. But they'll gladly throw in a free girdle! This might well be the most insulting thing I've ever seen toward women who are on the curvier side of the spectrum.

[G-Ho]

No cable in the bedroom, so since I've gone on a mostly dvd and hulu after midnight diet, I don't see as many of them as I used to.

I really loved the whole series of Nad's Australian hair removal salve and breakfast spread. That was better than real TV.

And the part of the Turbie Twist where the lady wrenches her entire spine due to the crushing weight of an ordinary bath towel on her head.

I also was a big fan of the Sobakawa buckwheat hull pillow. Dr. Morimoto (or something) offers this prescription: "cool head, warm feet is the seclet of good sreep."

Snuggies make whole families look like they're in a cult. So does Esteban.

i have heard if you put hops in your pillow it will help you sleep. i haven't tried it mostly because i'm not sure where to get the hops.

...Snuggies make whole families look like they're in a cult.

Did you know I have to round up 100 of those because of that stupid promotion I made up on the air during the Blue Plate last week? Promising Snuggies to the 'first 100 listeners?'

Matt and Tony were furious. We'll probably never be invited back.

The ExtenZe infomercial is entertaining. I bet I know a certain "dreamer" who has bought this product.

This fucker creeps me out. Klee Irwin likes to talk about his colon cleansing product, Dual Action Cleanse 2. He also likes to discuss his daughter's bowel movements.

How about the Bionic Ear? I think this is just a regular commercial. I'm sure a hearing aid that costs $14.95 works great!

OMG The Infinite Dress! You'll never need to worry about clothes again. Just buy this one dress and you're done!


And of course,
"Try-my-product"

WTF happened to Lee Majors? He looks like a different person. I think he had more wrinkles in 1980s than now.

You've seen the Snuggie parody on youtube, right?

I totally want a worx gt trimmer/edger.

I don't want to pay $120+shipping ($25) for it though.

Plenty of hops at Allen Biermakens on Martin Mill, just north of King Tut and Pease furniture.
