I was doing some homework or something once while an infomercial was on TV, so I wasn't really paying attention. A few seconds later I heard a familar voice..Turns out a former teacher of mine was giving a testimonial on a weight loss commercial. I couldn't believe it..and couldn't stop laughing.  |

The only thing that comes to mind is if my friends and I are watching one, we try to guess what the bonus item is..."BUT WAIT! there's MORE!..."..with it being either a second one absolutely free, or a free gift that has nothing to do with the original item  lol  |

In my house our favorite infomercial is The Magic Bullet, lol. My husband and I laughed like crazy people the first time we watched it so now it's sort of a running joke in my family. Even my 8 year old son knows the "greatness" of the Magic Bullet. I really think, as a joke, I'm gonna order that for my husband for x-mas. ~Take care~  |

Two words: Billy Mays, the new infomercial god! Ron Popeel, eat your heart out. Billy Mays can sell anything to anyone, anywhere. In case you don't know, Billy is the guy with the beard who was the original spokesman for oxyclean, amongst other things. I love his entusiasm! He really acts like whatever product he's selling is the greatest invention ever to benefit the days of man.  |

LOL.. I love how the blonde girl in the Magic Bullet informercial gets this insanely amazed look on her face when she finds out that the cups come with different-colored rims so that "everyone knows EXACTLY which drink is theirs!" Hahaha. |

A horror story here. A long, long time ago, I bought something advertised on the back of one of those tabloid magazines. I was young and stupid. It was a brush slash hair cutter. Just set the level and brush through your hair, and you can cut it yourself! Yeah. I botched it. So I drive to my sister's house at around 10:00 at night to see if she can fix it at all. I knock on the door. No answer. So I walk in. She is upstairs giving my niece a bath. I'm at the bottom of the stairs, listening to her. I go "hey!" There was a meek "hello?" Then she comes to the top of the stairs, takes in a breath, and kind of does this scream thing. She took care of the hair though. |

I had to google it because it was driving me nuts. The Shamwow! Though, I was not wowed when I tried the product. It soaked up a little better than an average wash cloth but nothing to wow over. |
