Infomercials have always been a source of amusement for me, from the very awesome "Magic bullet" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtpKjgwi4Sc (I could really go for a smoothie now) to the ridiculous "Snuggie" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqHSIiAXdSU (It looks like a cultist robe to me.)

What infomercials warrant posting in this thread, whether they informed you about an interesting or ridiculous product or even if the infomercial itself was just amusing or terrible gimme your two cents on the subject.

The "miracle blades" are always good to watch.
I also like watching the "Little Giant Ladder" infomericals.
The one that takes the cake for me is the Meticus Dual Hinge Driver. Its a golf club that collapses if there's something wrong with your swing.

You've already mentioned mine, The Magic Bullet, It chops, dices, or shreds in ten seconds or less!

I have a magic bullet, and it kicks ass.

A few of my favourites are the Shamwow infomercial and anything with Billy Mays.

Probably the dumbest Infomercial I can think of are for those stupid Q-Ray Bracelets. A bracelet that magically makes me more successful? How could I lose!

Vince FTW.

I saw an infomercial once in the mid 90s for something called, I think, Snow Dogs, which was like a mini snowboard for each foot, and the infomercial had actual production values, with short little comedic vignettes that were radical to the extreme.

LOL! Some infomercials are really funny though. Pretty entertaining at 2AM and you can't sleep. This is pretty funny: http://www.gobankingrates.com/savings-account/useless-products-waste-money-do-for-free/

...What exactly is an infomercial? Is it the same thing as a commercial? What's the difference?

The Gruen Transfer had a couple, but the most memorable one at the moment is for Doc Bottom's A-Spray [http://www.abc.net.au/tv/gruentransfer/stories/s2947062.htm]. By comparison, the Snuggie is a brilliant idea.

Ron Popeil is the master of the infomercial. That is why the Showtime Rotisserie Oven is the greatest infomercial of all time. Also, he is pretty scary looking.

I can't audio where I am right now, so I hope no one tampered with it in the video I just posted.

Also, I don't know if you people know what an infomercial is all about. It is a long form commercial. It has to be the length of a television show in order to be an infomercial.

Set it and forget it!

This commercial makes me laugh so hard...
It's hard to decide what my favorite part is, but I think it's this:
"regular cake mold cost up to thirty-five dollars!!"
But theres cost 20.

Me: "THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS?! HOW CAN I POSSIBLY AFFORD THAT?!!
"BUT WAIT! HERE IS A CRAPPIER ONE FOR ONLY $20!!"
