But Wait, There's More! Infomercials

Do we really need another microwave egg cooker? Newsflash: I've been making scrambled eggs in the microwave for years, thankyouverymuch.

It's Eggtastic!

And I know the answer is "no." :)

I saw this commercial the other day.  Someone needs to tell the B&W idiot at the beginning that you don't need a hand mixer to scramble eggs.  Sheesh!

Not to mention there already is a microwave egg cooker - that crock thing that looks a bit like a tagine.

I love how the "old" way is supposed to soo hard.

The Wen lawsuit is now class action and has had hundreds join.

Snopes cuts through some of the noise.

I must have misheard that it had been settled. Can't find any evidence.

There's an infomercial on right now called Do You Poop Enough?  "Triple Action Cleanse is the Answer for You!  It's like scrubby bubbles for your intestines!"

Those scrubby bubbles have to go somewhere...

[riley702]

That's worse than the "Do you poop correctly?" infomercial for the Squatty Potty.

At this moment on Spike they're running a "paid program" called Erection Now! At least I hope it's a paid program, and not a direct-to-video sequel to Apocalypse Now. I don't think I could take Marlon Brando crazy-philosophizing about his boner.

Anyone else watch those Time-Life music collection infomercials from start to finish? 

[Annber03]

I do :D. I remember watching them a lot as a kid, too.

This sounds like a battle cry a super hero would say to engage their super hero power. 

Guy gets into an intimate situation. . . things start going to the next level. He stands up, puts his hands on his hips and yells "ERECTION NOW!"

[smittykins]

OK, since my mind is perpetually in the gutter, I'm wondering what they were selling in that one, a "supplement" or possibly...

I can recall a super-powered guy in Marshall Law whose entire body swelled up and got all...veiney...and...purple...when he activated his powers.

And then there's this guy, from an issue of Doom Patrol.

I used to love the commercials for the Time-Life Old West books. "That was no lady! That was Belle Starr!" "John Wesley Hardin -- a man so mean he once shot a man for snorin'!"

I always liked the Paranormal ones.  "Coincidence, or Psychic Phenomenon?  You be the judge.....".
