Why do I watch Infomercials?
 

What makes them so compelling that I end up watching the whole thing! Even if the product is something I would never use, like hair remover or knives.

Why? Why!

To get to the other side?

No, wait, that's the answer to "Why do I watch Crossing Over?"

stop watching my shit, or pick up the phone and order

aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh!!!!! I fuckin' HATE that guy! And my girl LOVES his stupid show! I'm in Crossing Over hell!

I FUCKIN' LOVE INFORMERCIALS!!!!!

You and I must be on the same wavelength. I don't know what it is?!?! There are times I'll channel surf only to stop on an informercial, and I'll be damned if I don't end up watching the whole thing.


"SET IT AND...."

Don Lapre owns the infomercial scene man.... he's like, god or something....

have you seen his website? the guy got fucked over good...

no... what happened? Taxes or something?

don lapre is bankrupt and so is the internet treasure chest

oh yeah, and love infomercials too. especially the get rich quick/daytrading/internet riches types. facinating shit ;)

he must be in his all out assault comeback mode or something then.... cuz he's been on like 5 different channels here every night for a week....

no bro - they are just using his name and his old footage. he is not making jack shit from it: http://donlapre.com/

just 20 minutes a day! In your spare time! Placing tiny classified ads....

fax spam is the wave of the future:thumbsup

sweet! That page rocks!

you dont need don lapre for that.

(that shit is not a joke)

Even his website SHOUTS

yeah, that works too.... but when Don did it, it was sexy! :Graucho

I always think his jaw is just gonna fall right off from yakking like he does.... hehehe..... :karaoke

He sounds like he's a halfwit. But it works for him. He sells that shit like crazy. And I bet nobody makes a dime from the info either.

I like the real estate ones. Carlton Sheets and those guys. When some fat slob with a 3rd grade education who now owns 63 properties and has a net worth of $3.6 million testifies, I desperately want to believe him.

what about that new 'chichingo!!!' daytrader guy. fucking hilarious.

as I stated before, he is bankrupt, and so is the internet treasure chest. FACTS

he's bankrupt, but i don't think the company who now runs his commercials is.

Amputate,

I sense someone around you. Does the letter "P" mean anything to you? Maybe an "R". Some letter with a straight line or a loop.

yeah, those rock too..... the kitchen utensil one's always hook me in real good too and I don't know why.... it's not like I can cook or anything.... maybe it's the mystery of kitchen stuff that does it. I don't know....

but when I see a fuckin' knife that can cut through a tree, a concrete parking block, an iron I-beam, fillet a great white shark, used to jack up a 7 ton truck and rotate the tires, slice through marble pillars, and then dice up a tomato just like going through hot butter.... I can't help but watch in amazement.

In fact, we just ordered a set of knives off one of those infomercials.... the "Miracle Knives" I think....

the guy who makes the "set it and forget it" rotisseree is fairly well respected and I believe he received an award from better homes and gardens for changing the way we think about food.

the juice guy as well

haha, I haven't seen him. Working too damn much these days. But first thing that popped into my mind, was the guy with the question mark costume, who sells info about govt. grants and shit.

I bet some of those kitchen products can even give you super powers like x-ray vision or the ability to fly....

probly cost more though.

You ever notice that the juice guy is actually orange?

I do have that George Foreman Super Duper Lean Green Magic Burger Grillin' Machine thing here... we use it all the time.... fuckin' thing kicks ass....

and I got the Ronco dehydrator thing too.... haven't used it in 6 years though.

Turns out AMP needs to work to support his Addiction to Infomercial products :)

I have to have them! There are tons of products I never knew existed that I can't live without!

"....FORGET IT!"

I actually bought that "Food Saver" machine from an infomercial. It's that machine that vaccuum packs your food and prevents freezer burn. You can actually store some foods in your freezer for like a year or more, using this method and they don't get that nasty freezer burn taste. It's a miracle, I tell ya! lol

I'm an infomercial addict as well...

from the British guy with the shit that can clean everything except the stains on his teeth to good old Mike with the sweater....

I love the "make more money" infomercials...

Don LaPre, Carlton Sheets, the midget real estate guy, Tom Bosley and SMC, the 16 year old car auction millionaire (well, he looks 16 anyways)....

I actually had to touch myself over the latest "Girls one Wild" infomercial (but that fucking ttechno music got on my nerves after awhile)

newbies should watch informercials to learn the art of the sell...when I was training new hirea in telemarketing rooms, I'd have the trainees watch infomercials and take notes and bring them to training to see the effective sales techniques used....

I luvs my ginsu knives

Who doesn't have a Foreman? I probably use mine every other day, love the burgers baby!
